Get ready, Aberdeen – Wild Goose is officially taking flight this weekend, and it’s all happening just in time for one of the most exciting events of the summer: Tall Ships Aberdeen!
From Friday 18 to Monday 21 July, Wild Goose will open its doors to the public for the very first time to give a taste of what’s to come – and they can’t wait to welcome you in.
Perched in the heart of Union Terrace Gardens, Wild Goose promises proper brunch when their full menu launches later this Summer, their way – served with local ingredients, curated cocktails, bold flavours, and a fresh new vibe that’s ready to shake up the city’s food scene.
What to expect this weekend:
- Terrace Vibes & Small Plates – Join them on the terrace for a relaxed atmosphere, their special ‘Tall Ships’ small plates menu with big flavour, craft cocktails, ice-cold beers, and spirits from local legends.
- Brew Toon Garden Bar – Local Brew Toon is popping up in the garden bar, bringing their brilliant Peterhead brews to fuel the Tall Ships weekend the right way.
- Victorian Toilets x Outlaw Rum – Step below deck into their transformed event space, where Wild Goose is partnering with Outlaw Rum to bring rum tastings, rum cocktails, a photo booth, and more across the weekend.
Whether you're in town for the ships or just here for the vibes, Wild Goose is the perfect landing spot. Think of this as a soft launch – a sneak peek into the Wild Goose experience – before they officially open and introduce their new brunch menu later this summer.
Stuart Ross, founder of Grub Fresh Food and the driving force behind Wild Goose, says: "This weekend is all about celebrating Aberdeen, community, and giving everyone a flavour of what we’ve been working on, alongside an iconic event with the Tall Ships Aberdeen. From locally sourced ingredients to exciting partnerships with Brew Toon and Outlaw Rum – we’re buzzing to finally open the doors and welcome people in. We’re proud to bring something fresh, vibrant and full of character to the city centre, come fly with us this weekend let’s make it a big one!"
Wild Goose is part of the broader £28.3million refurbishment of Union Terrace Gardens, a project aimed at enhancing accessibility and introducing new amenities while preserving the park's historic charm. The gardens now feature improved wheelchair-friendly walkways, a children's play area, and restored Victorian elements, creating a revitalised green space in the city's heart.
