Scottish bar and restaurant group Buzzworks has unveiled plans to recruit 20 staff for the launch of its new Herringbone bar and restaurant at Royal Terrace Gardens in Edinburgh.
Buzzworks, which highlighted its standing as “one of Scotland’s fastest-growing hospitality groups” and employs more than 650 staff, is opening the Edinburgh venue this spring.
The Ayrshire-based company, which is owned by Kenny Blair, bought independent Scottish hospitality business Herringbone in April last year.

Buzzworks was recently named in the “100 Best Companies to Work For in the UK” list. It was ranked as the 77th best company to work for in the UK, and 12th in the leisure and hospitality industry, and was placed 16th overall in Scotland.
Ash Bairstow, operations director at Herringbone, said: “We cannot wait to welcome guests to this outstanding new Herringbone bar and restaurant in Edinburgh, which we believe will be a great asset to the local community.
“As we further expand the Herringbone brand, we’re proud to progress as part of the Buzzworks family.”
