Craig Grozier to open Fallachan Kitchen this autumn
The chef, who is the founder of dining venture Fallachan Dining, which creates bespoke and seasonal dining experiences, will open a private dining room and one-table restaurant space in Arch 15 Finnieston in Glasgow in October called Fallachan Kitchen.
The intimate restaurant and open kitchen space is described as being a ‘multi disciplinary space’ and will host guest chef experiences and culinary masterclasses.
In advance of the opening Grozier is hosting a series of pop-up dinners, the first of which will be held on 25 of August at Acid Bar in Glasgow. The second pop up dinner will be held at the same venue on 30 September.
This pop-up will accommodate 30 guests and give them an opportunity to get a taste of what to expect at Fallachan Kitchen. Grozier will serve a nine-course tasting menu that will reflect the philosophy of Fallachan Dining, which works directly with growers, foragers, butchers and fishermen to create a modern Scottish style of dining.
This menu will feature the first of the seasons grouse, house-made charcuterie, heavily-peated Octomore sourdough and Glasgow’s Bare Bones chocolate, as well as other local and seasonal produce from around Scotland.
“We’re incredibly excited to provide a preview into the culinary offering that we intend to bring to Glasgow diners” says Grozier. “These pop-up dinners are a unique opportunity for us to share and give guests a taste of the immersive dining experiences that they can expect from our one-table open kitchen space.”
“I am passionate about the craft of cooking, and I am excited to bring this ethos to our first preview dinner at the Acid Bar. To showcase Scotland’s larder, we’re looking forward to using the new season young grouse which will be served with girolles that we forage for ourselves.”
Grozier, who is from the Highlands of Scotland, began his cheffing career in Edinburgh before leaving to travel and cook in kitchen across the world. After more than 13 years he returned to Scotland and founded Fallachan Dining in 2012.
