Roots Catering Kitchen is an outside catering company serving yummy and exciting brekkies and lunches, smoothies, juices and cakes (and a whole bunch of other stuff) to the marvellous people of Edinburgh. The values of Sustainability, Well-being and Community are super-important to the Roots gang, and are core to everything we think, make and do. Most (but not all!!) the dishes we prepare are vege

tarian and vegan, but we make a huge effort to ensure that omni-eaters will also love these dishes. The meat, fish, dairy, eggs and honey that we also use, come only from suppliers who can guarantee that they have produced or sourced their products responsibly. We reuse, reduce, recycle, upcycle and compost, and we are working really, really hard to achieve zero waste. The Roots team believes that nutrition is hugely important to our well-being - physical, mental and emotional, and prepare loads of healthy, balanced dishes, to help everyone be the best that they can be. We also know that sweet treats are important, so we make them little (and scrummy). The well-being and fair treatment of our team is core to everything we believe: we provide great working conditions, and a happy, huggy, wholesome and balanced working environment.

Our Story

Welcome to Roots Salad Bar and Caterer, serving yummy and exciting brekkies and lunches, smoothies, juices and coffees (and a whole bunch of other stuff) to the marvellous people of Edinburgh, from its cosy spot on the lovely William Street in Edinburgh’s West End, as well as outside catering for offices, parties, conferences, retreats, and everything in between. The values of Sustainability, Well-being and Community are super-important to the Roots gang, and are core to everything we think, make and do. With every decision we make, these values guide and positively direct our actions. Sustainability is more than just a word we throw around. We reuse, reduce, recycle, upcycle and compost, and we are working really, really hard to achieve zero waste. We do not use or stock any single-use plastic as a business. We work with the mighty Vegware and London Bio Packaging to ensure all our bits and pieces are compostable. Thanks to our partners in waste management, we send nothing (zero, nil, nada) to landfill. Most (not all, but most!) of what we make is vegetarian, (and mostly vegan), but we make a huge effort to ensure that omni-eaters will also love these dishes. The meat, fish, dairy and eggs that we use, come only from suppliers who can guarantee that they have produced or sourced their products responsibly. We are not perfect, but we constantly strive to improve. The Roots team believes that nutrition is hugely important to our well-being - physical, mental and emotional, and so we prepare loads of healthy, balanced dishes, to help everyone be the best that they can be. We understand that sweet treats are important, so we make them little (and scrummy). The well-being and fair treatment of our team is core to everything we believe: we provide great working conditions and a happy, huggy, wholesome and balanced working environment. This extends to our community work and support. We have already built amazing relationships with some fabby organisations, including the amazing Grassmarket Community Project, FareShare and The Rock Trust (please look these guys up if you don’t know them! They do amazing work) At Roots, we welcome children and doggies** and have special goodies for both. Our pup, Dougal, loves to welcome furry (and non-furry) friends to hang out with him. We have high-chairs, a dog blanket, baby-changing, toddler step, doggy bowls, a doggy-ball pit and chewy things, and spare nappies and baby wipes, a free cuddling service.......

For those of you who aren’t able to stop by, we still provide our Roots catering service, both for the workplace and for special events. Please drop us an email to [email protected] for some more info. We are jumping up and down with excitement, in anticipation of meeting you all, and sharing some delish Roots’ goodies and banter. See you soon! Catriona, Mark, Dougal and all of team Roots ### **apparently it’s necessary to have an adult human attached, according to some important people who make such rules.
