Did you know that we offer custom cocktails? 👀

Last night we had our wonderful local dental team join us for their summer evening out, so we decided to surprise them with a cocktail made especially for the occasion - the Toothtastic Spritz!

A base of rosé prosecco and elderflower liqueur, topped with tonic and, of course… teeth! 🦷✨

If you’re visiting Capilla with a large party, have a chat with us beforehand about creating a custom drink just for you and your group. Whether it’s a work night out, birthday, celebration or just an excuse to get everyone together, we’re always happy to pull something fun together! 🍸

Another set of golf balls? 😅
Sure, Dad will definitely use them but, how about lunch together this year instead?

Why don't you join us this Sunday and treat the family to lunch or dinner at Capilla? Whether it's Dad, Grandad, Stepdad or someone who's always been there for you, show your appreciation this weekend with some quality time together - we know that is always the preference in our household! 🥰

Don't have time this weekend? We have physical and digital gift vouchers available if you need to reschedule for another time - you can appreciate your father figure any time of year, for a full year! 📆

Send us a DM if you fancy grabbing a spot for this weekend.

Happy Harbour Day weekend folks! 🚢

At Capilla, our incredible team have been incredibly busy this week, sourcing you the freshest of local produce to celebrate this weekend with the Scrabster Harbour Trust and, on our tapas specials this weekend, we have these beautiful fresh Scrabster crab and lemon toasts 🤤 Just when we think Lewis, Briana and Hugh can’t surprise us with their talents, they blow us out of the water with specials like these! 🤩

These will be available while stocks last, though we expect them to go quickly as we have a limited amount of beautiful fresh crab! 🦀

Please pop down at any point this weekend to try and get your hands on the freshest produce that you can get to support our local suppliers 💙

It’s a wee bit dreich out there the day, but there’s no need to miss out on a taste of sunshine. ☀️

Pop down to Capilla and swap the grey skies for wonderful fusion Spanish/Scottish tapas.

With the cruise ships in town, there’s still plenty of availability; so whether you’re a local or just visiting, we’d love to see you.

¡Hasta pronto! 🍷🥘
