Our group booking times are intentionally staggered to help our vendors keep up with the demand during busy service. If you can’t see the time you’re looking for – please walk in!
We don’t take bookings between 6-8:30pm on Wednesdays-Fridays and we currently only take 12pm bookings on Saturdays.
Each booking gets 1 hour and 45 minutes on their table.
Please note, our kitchens are open until 9pm on Sundays -Thursdays and until 10pm on Fridays & Saturdays. In July & August our kitchens are open until 11pm.
Ts & Cs
We really rely on our guests honouring their reservations. If you need to make any amendments to your reservation, please do so as soon as possible through Resdiary or by contacting our fabulous front of house team on foh@esf.ltd. We do not have a phone number and cancelling bookings via social media won’t be accepted.
For all reservations, we require card details to secure your booking. These details are securely kept with a third party called Stripe and will only be charged if you don’t meet our terms and conditions:
- If for some reason you need to cancel your booking, you must give Edinburgh Street Food at least 24 hours notice before your reservation or you will be charged a £10 per person fee.
- If your party arrives with less than the number of guests originally on the booking, then you will be charged £10 per person for the missing guests.
- All bookings come with a 15 minute grace period. If you’ve not arrived at ESF within 15 minutes of your booking, your table will be released to walk-ins and you will be charged the £10 per person fee for every guest on the booking. Please bear in mind that we do not have a phone number – we really rely on you being punctual.
You’ll receive an automated email 48 hours before your booking, please do click to amend or cancel the booking, if required, once you receive this.
Our tables are long and communal – if your party doesn’t fill a whole table, it’s likely other customers may ask to sit with you.
ESF is suitable for guests of all ages, we’re buggy accessible and have lots of high chairs available. Please include all babies and children in your booking numbers and specify how many high chairs you’ll need so we can best accommodate your needs. We’re dog friendly too, don’t forget to ask our team for a water bowl!
Whilst we do see ourselves as a special occasion venue and will try to meet any requests you might have, we’re a very casual street food hall and the eleven traders (and additional guest traders) within Edinburgh Street Food operate independently from us. Unfortunately we can’t offer any freebies for Birthdays or unique celebrations, but we’ll be happy to store a cake for you.
By making a booking at Edinburgh Street Food you agree to our reservation cancellation terms.
We look forward to rustling you up an award-winning street food feast at ESF, beside the oMNi Centre on Leith Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3AU.
