When Tailend met Dukes.....

8/17/2016

Tailend Dundee is not too far away from opening so...... we thought it best to get know our neighbours. Especially neighbours with a huge selection of gin and plenty beer on tap!
Dukes Corner on Brown Street Dundee, held their first Night Market event. We were so happy that they had thought of us and asked us to be involved. It was great fun and we met loads of new faces and other local independents from the area.

On the night we offered the fine people of Dundee a selection of seafood goods they can expect from our new restaurant opening on Perth road.

We had Vacuum packed Arbroath Smokie Pairs & Hot Smoked Salmon. As they are vacuum packed they are fresh for around 10 days. 3-4 once opened. We also had a selection of fresh goods such as Arborath Smokie Pate, Mackerel Pate with Blackberry, we gave the option of adding seaweed oatcakes with our pates for an extra £1! They are so tasty and give just the perfect saltiness to our creamy pates. We also had Crayfish Salsa served with Cajun Spiced Tortilla Chips, Smoked Haddock Arancini served with homemade Red Pepper sauce. All very delicious little nibbles for people to take home.
With plenty tasters on the go we soon attracted the hungry and curious crowds to our table. Restaurant managers Jess & Michaela were on hand ready to serve the crowds and answer any questions over our delicious seafood and of course the opening of our new restaurant in Dundee. It was great to see so many excited for our new venture!

We were there with a few old friends such as Iain Burnett, Highland Chocolatier, Thistly Cross Cider & Eden Mill but it was also an opportunity to meet new businesses and a few that we will be sharing the Perth Rd with. The Rosebud florist and Fraser Greengrocer are also based on the Perth Rd.
Bon Accord soft drinks were there and it seems we may have a little history with them. As we are from Arbroath (our fish house is still based there), Bon Accords grandfather was also based in Arbroath, seaside friends! so perhaps we will pick up the friendship again as their soft drinks are AMAZING! Def one to look out for! #bonaccordisback
Next to us was Clean Little Eats, a great selection of home made healthy cakes & snacks! Very very tasty and all good for you! Whats not to love about that?
And on the other side of us was Iain Burnett, Highland Chocolatier. I mean their chocolates are just incredible. If you haven't tried them, get yourself down to South Street in St Andews! We promise you won't be disappointed. We used Iain Burnett for a Mothers Day Offer last year and every single customer adored their chocolates!

So basically once we had eaten and drank our way around all the stalls that were there, it was time to pack up and head home. This was a great first time event for both us and Dukes and we would 100% love to be involved with any further events they had planned.
Be sure and follow the great local businesses we met that night on Fb & of course follow our Dundee Fb & Twitter pages for the latest news of our opening dates and any further events we will be attending! Links below to all our new friends below
