“Lovely space, well designed, we liked the bus seats! It was great to have fresh coffee on tap - informality of being able to serve selves with coffee and tea was great, made it a very good venue for a day away from our usual working space. Staff very friendly and flexible, it was nice to be able to speak to a 'real' person in advance of the event for a quick question - everyone very responsive.”

LOGOS SCOTLAND
“We used the Melting Pot for an off site team away day when we were not able to use alternative University facilities. They were operationally very responsive to support our planning. We ordered pastries and fruit platter which were exactly as required and good value for money. We generally found their service excellent.”

“We hired the services of The Melting Pot to host our interview day. The process from booking to greeting guests and organising the room was excellent. The Melting Pot is right opposite the Calton Road exit at Waverley Station, so very easy to get to. If you need a meeting room or an event space, The Melting Pot is highly recommended.”

The staff were also outstanding in helping to get everything set up for us including furniture and connecting to the projector, as well as welcoming the caterer and helping her to find what she needed. I really appreciated that they were there on hand to help with anything needed throughout the event.”
