Buzzworks Holdings, a Scottish independent bar and restaurant operator, has unveiled its new venue, Thirty Knots, in South Queensferry, Edinburgh, which is due to open in November.
Thirty Knots will take over the former site of The Three Bridges, situated beneath the Forth Bridge in Edinburgh, and will feature a restaurant with a modern take on the traditional pub, and an outdoor terrace with views out over the Firth of Forth. The venue will also include a private events space for up to 100 guests upstairs.
The renovation of the 19th Century building will see Buzzworks invest a six-figure sum, with founder and chairman Colin Blair and designer Jim Hamilton leading up the project.
The restaurant will offer a gastro pub menu featuring a modern twist on some traditional classics, using local ingredients from Scotland’s suppliers, featuring beer battered fish and chips and honey and garlic lamb shoulder.
The pub will serve up a selection of draught beers and wines, and offer live sports, music, and entertainment. The family-owned business will create 45 new jobs locally as part of the opening.
Kenny Blair, Buzzworks Holdings managing director, said: “We’re delighted to have started work on Thirty Knots, a pub, and restaurant which we believe will be a great asset to the South Queensferry community, providing an impressive range of food and drink and excellent service.
“Our customers will feel right at home when they are welcomed to our latest venue which will bring a relaxed drinking and dining experience. Thirty Knots is a fantastic addition to our growing portfolio of community-based destination restaurants and pubs, with a building that’s steeped in history, in a stunning location and world-class views right on our doorstep.”
He added: “With a focus on fresh, seasonal produce that incorporates a variety of cooking styles – customers can expect a fantastic menu that will feature both modern and classic dishes with a twist and we guarantee there will be something for everyone.”
