Past Working Relationships

Over the last 25 years, Cygnet has had the privilege of working with some of Scotland’s most prestigious organisations and visitor destinations. These partnerships have shaped who we are today, giving us the opportunity to showcase our commitment to five-star service, delicious homemade food, and the ability to serve with speed and precision in high-volume environments.

Highlights from Our Journey

Our experience in these iconic locations has reinforced the importance of flexibility — offering visitors both wholesome sit-down meals and quick grab-and-go options that never compromise on quality.

Edinburgh, East Lothian & West Lothian Councils

Our collaborations with local councils spanned multiple café sites and community venues, where we provided reliable, inclusive catering for both residents and visitors. These partnerships required consistency across different locations, always delivering high standards and tailored experiences.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

A world-famous event attracting international audiences. We were proud to contribute to the visitor experience by providing exceptional food and drink in a high-pressure, fast-paced setting, where quality and timing were everything.

Scottish Seabird Centre

We were formally invited to open the café at the Seabird Centre when it first launched — a testament to the trust placed in us from the outset. For five successful years, we operated the café, building its reputation for fresh, family-friendly menus and efficient service. The café’s success was such that the Seabird Centre later chose to bring it back in-house, a decision that underlined the strong foundations we helped establish.

Scottish Enterprise

Across three separate sites, we partnered with Scotland’s national economic development agency to deliver professional catering solutions for both corporate and visitor environments. Each site required a bespoke approach, aligning with the high expectations for service, quality, and presentation.

The National Trust for Scotland

We proudly operated at two National Trust sites, celebrating Scotland’s heritage and landscapes through locally inspired, seasonal menus. These settings allowed us to combine our hospitality expertise with a deep respect for cultural and natural heritage.

Edinburgh Castle & Stirling Castle

Two of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks, both welcoming millions of visitors annually. Our role here required fast, efficient service at scale, without sacrificing the quality of our homemade dishes. From hearty lunches to quick refreshments, we helped enhance the visitor experience in truly historic surroundings.

At Cygnet, we are proud of the strong, long-lasting relationships we’ve built with these partners. Each collaboration has challenged us to be innovative, responsive, and consistently excellent — qualities that remain central to how we work today.
