The Birnam Brunch: Everything You Need To Know

December 2025

One of our most popular mealtime moments, The Birnam brunch has become an iconic fixture in our calendar. Here’s everything you need to know before you join us.

Being home to ten restaurants and bars, you could say we’re big fans of feasting. We’re built for indulgence, and one of our most extravagant moments comes via The Birnam’s now-famous brunch. 

This is brunch the Gleneagles way – abundant, unhurried and generous with live music and top-class service. With your welcome drink in hand, begin the afternoon at the unlimited starter buffet, where Scotland’s finest seafood sits alongside charcuterie, artisanal cheeses, freshly baked bread and our signature Birnam Caesar salad.

Next, take your pick between freshly prepared hot main courses served directly from the kitchen or head to the pasta station, where dishes are crafted in front of you, à la minute. Choose from seasonal favourites or let your imagination lead and come up with your own unique combination for our chefs to whip up. 

And of course, no brunch at The Birnam would be complete without a (considerable) touch of luxury. The dessert buffet offers an irresistible selection of handcrafted cakes, doughnuts and a new soft-serve ice cream flavour each month. And if that’s not enough, stop the roaming tiramisu tray on its tracks and load up on that creamy, fluffy Italian classic (because when it comes to desserts, more is always more).

Bring your favourite people, book out the afternoon and pull up a pew in the beautiful surroundings of one of our most-loved restaurants at Gleneagles. The Birnam brunch is a chance to pause, savour and celebrate the art of slow living. It’s a leisurely ritual – one best enjoyed with friends, family and a glass of something sparkling in hand.

£105 for an Adult and £45 for a child.
