People come from near and far to eat, drink and bliss out at Scottish Thistle Award winning Drift, a unique coffee house with breathtaking views over unspoilt miles of Firth of Forth coast and the Bass Rock. Drift is perfect for walkers, cyclists, day trippers and tourists (we’re half a mile away from Tantallon Castle) and very popular with locals too. Everything is freshly made, and, as a farm diversification business born out of a passion for food and drink, we love strengthening the connections between the land, sea and the table.

    Booking a table was simple. Welcome and table excellent. Food very good. Catered for children. An overall friendly service amid beautiful surroundings. Good value and well worth a visit.

    Wonderful staff. Food was great but I didn’t find enough variety in your Autumn menu. This is my only comment. The rest of the experience was lovely.
