Edinburgh Toby Carvery 'smashed up as revelers climb the roof'

Tony Carvery staff at Lauriston Farm say they are full of "sadness and disappointment" after four reckless individuals broke into their outdoor setting area to 'smash it up.'

Between 9.30 pm and midnight on Sunday night, four people were caught on CCTV throwing furniture around, trying to wreck the smoking area, and even scaling the restaurant roof.

Staff feel let down that the businesses was targeted at such a tough time during the lockdown and say the beer garden has been left in a state.

In a statement, Toby Carvery Lauriston Farm said: "During such a hard time for closed businesses, it comes with great sadness and disappointment that our beer garden has been left in this state.

"Last night between 9.30- Midnight, a group of 4 have been caught on cctv completely abusing the area, breaking and throwing garden furniture, trying to smash down the smoking shelter, dumping all their trash as well as risking their own safety by climbing onto our restaurant roof.

"We would kindly ask the community to share this and help it reach the people involved, before we have to forward the faces to the police (who from cctv look as if they have visited before). Attached are some photos of the mess.

"Thank you for your support. - Team Lauriston."

Police Scotland were contacted for comment.
