Groups & Corporate

Set within Edinburgh’s historic Old Town and moments from Holyrood Palace, The Parliament Arms offers a characterful and versatile setting for group dining, corporate gatherings, and hosted events.

    Flexible Spaces for Groups & Events

    With a main pub and dining area for up to 60 guests, complemented by a semi‑private dining space for a further 30, the venue is well suited to group gatherings, social events, meetings, and informal corporate occasions.

  • Creamy sauce being poured over two types of mashed potatoes on a white plate, with a salad in the background and drinks on the table.

    Authentic Scottish Food for Groups

    Guests can enjoy hearty, home‑cooked Scottish fayre inspired by our sister venues, from Cullen Skink and haggis favourites to refined salmon, seabass, and venison dishes, all crafted with locally sourced produce.

  • Various plates of appetizers and drinks on a wooden table, including fried croquettes, smoked salmon with lemon, slices of meat with oranges, and a dessert with berries, along with glasses of beer and cocktails.

    A Warm and Characterful Setting

    Rich timber interiors, cosy booth seating, and a classic back bar stocked with Scottish spirits create an inviting atmosphere that feels both authentic and memorable, ensuring every group experience is delivered with the warmth and generosity of true Scottish hospitality.
