Edinburgh-based Contini Restaurant Group joins The Scotch Beef Club

The acclaimed Edinburgh-based Contini Restaurant Group, at the heart of the city’s vibrant dining scene, has become the latest group member of Quality Meat Scotland’s (QMS) Scotch Beef Club, further cementing its commitment to sourcing and serving the very best Scottish produce.

The Contini portfolio, including Edinburgh favourites Cannonball Restaurant & Bar, The Scottish Cafe & Restaurant, and Contini George Street, will now prominently feature Scotch Beef across their city-centre menus, bringing Scotland’s premium Scotch Beef, Scotch Lamb and Specially Selected Pork to the heart of the capital.

The Scotch Beef Club recognises and supports restaurants proud to serve Scotch Beef, Scotch Lamb, or Specially Selected Pork, with members ranging from small independent businesses to Michelin-starred establishments. Each member’s supply chain is thoroughly checked by QMS to ensure the beef served is genuinely Scotch.

Gordon Newlands, Brands Development Manager at QMS, said:
“We are delighted to welcome the Contini Group to the Scotch Beef Club. Victor and Carina Contini’s commitment to Scottish agriculture is fantastic, and we’re excited to support them with marketing and technical advice, as well as listings on our ‘Make It Scotch’ website.”

Joining the Scotch Beef Club reflects our ongoing commitment to Scottish agriculture and our guests’ enjoyment of exceptional dining experiences. By sourcing beef from accredited suppliers, we not only ensure high quality but also support local farmers dedicated to sustainable practices.”
