About

Situated in the Pentland Hills, outside of Edinburgh, Lothian, and Borders, The Free Company is a functioning farm-to-restaurant venue. This venue takes a rather down-to-earth approach to hosting weddings and other private gatherings. With a deep understanding of rural and agricultural practices, the team aims to honour small-scale, organic farming styles by incorporating an educational element into their restaurant.

Facilities and Capacity

With over five years of experience in hosting wedding ceremonies and receptions, the venue specialises in crafting bespoke, hand-tailored events. The Free Company is set on a working farm with an onsite restaurant. The venue, ideal for capturing that farmcore aesthetic, has a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces to host the big day's festivities in. Couples and their loved ones can tie the knot and hold their reception in the converted milking byre, the hayloft, or the farmhouse courtyard.

Services Offered

Emphasising regenerative agriculture and fresh, organic produce, The Free Company ensures that every meal served reflects quality and care. Guests are treated to a six-course evening, starting with bites in the garden and moving to larger plates in the converted milking byre. The venue features a cash bar highlighting a curated selection of sustainable vineyards, breweries, and foraged cocktails. Additionally, the facility is equipped for live bands and music, allowing guests to dance the night away. The team can organise a wedding coordinator to iron out the finer details of your celebration should you need an extra pair of hands. The Free Company promises a memorable wedding experience, blending rustic charm with refined culinary delights.

Dreamy Venue, Incredible Food

When we first started planning, I knew I wanted the food to be the star of the day - I've had too many blandly catered wedding dinners in my lifetime. Choosing The Free Co was one of the easiest decisions for us. We love their ethos, their friendly and supportive staff, and of course their incredible food. They easily made all four courses gluten free, and their sticky toffee pudding has to be one of the best desserts I've ever had. We had an absolute blast - with 50 people it felt intimate and like the space was designed perfectly for us. The table wine was exceptional as were the cocktails. We opted for loaded chips as the late night snack, and I wouldn't have changed a thing about the whole day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
