Red Bus Bistro

Red Bus Bistro is a truly unique destination in which to dine. Step aboard the vintage Routemaster bus and enjoy one of a range of wonderful, tailor-made dining experiences, all the while exploring the delights of Scotland’s biggest city.

This carefully converted sightseeing vehicle provides a delightfully cosy atmosphere for diners, enhanced by friendly staff. Various dining experiences are available, including the delightful afternoon tea experience, during which you can indulge in a selection of pastries, cakes and warm home-baked scones served with traditional preserves and fresh, locally produced cream.

Gin-lovers will be pleased to hear that there’s an afternoon gin experience, where you can accompany your afternoon tea with a refreshing gin cocktail of your choice, served in a teapot. The bus is fully licensed, so why not treat yourself to a perfectly chilled bottle of Champagne or a glass of Prosecco with your meal?

Red Bus Bistro is also available for exclusive hire, and can cater for everything from afternoon tea to fine dining.

  • A red, vintage double-decker bus parked on a sunny day. Panels on the side and back advertise the bistro. The bus is parked near a junction with traffic lights, a green space is visible over the road. The pavement is level and has a curb. The doors at the back of the bus are open, revealing a small step up. The sky is blue and the sun is shining.

  • A photo of the Red Bus Bistro's upper deck, decorated for Christmas. Vintage leatherette bus seats, in red and tan, have been modified to face one another over small wooden topped tables. The photo is taken from half way down the bus, looking towards the wide, top, front window. A silver-birch branch at the end of the central aisle is decorated with baubles, and fairy lights line the ceiling. There are small gingham curtains on the front window and tartan upholstered padded panels on the ceiling.

Chrome cup holders are set into the top of the while table top. The vintage leatherette bus seat with chrome edges and another decorated table can be seen to the left of the long right-hand windowed wall.
