Taste of Moray Speyside Restaurant Week
6 September 2024 • Sarah Medcraf
Taste of Moray Speyside Restaurant Week will return and take place from Saturday 2nd November – Saturday 9th November 2024.
Visit Moray Speyside is excited to announce the launch of the second Moray Speyside Restaurant Week, a celebration of the region's vibrant food and drink scene.
Running from Saturday 2nd November to Saturday 9th November, this event will showcase special offers from a range of local food and drink businesses in a month which is traditionally challenging to attract customers.
Whether you're a restaurant, café, hotel, distillery, or takeaway, if you have a great food and drink business and are based in Moray, then we would love for you to join Moray Speyside Restaurant Week and help promote the fantastic food and drink offerings we have in our great region!
What does Restaurant Week involve?
Restaurant Week is where local food and drink businesses coordinate with each other and simultaneously offer special deals for one week only. This could be a one-off fixed priced menu, a unique tasting menu or something else. What is offered is entirely up to the business. The only requirement is that the offer is unique, or not usually available, and lasts for the full duration of Restaurant Week.
Visit Moray Speyside will promote Restaurant Week in the build up and during the event using social media channels, print media, graphics and more. A section on the website will also be created which will outline everything that is on.
How do I get involved?

This year, Visit Moray Speyside is partnering with the Scotland Loves Local Gift Card. Every business that participates will receive a pre-loaded £100 Moray Gift Card effectively cancelling out the cost of a Taste of Moray Speyside Membership. You can then use this in a competition on your own social media channels in the lead-up to Restaurant Week, with the winner being chosen during the week. We hope this initiative will boost the visibility of participating businesses and raise awareness of the Moray Gift Card at the same time.
If you're not yet set up to accept the Moray Gift Card, it's easy to register online at https://townandcitygiftcards.com/business-sign-up/. If you encounter any issues signing up online, you can email Moraygiftcard@moray.gov.uk for assistance.
If you would like to join Taste of Moray Speyside and be part of restaurant week let Visit Moray Speyside know by emailing info@morayspeyside.com and they will send over the relevant information.
