The Dining Hall

The Edinburgh Academy has a reputation for good food.

The dining hall has a canteen service, with several different dishes available every day. Catering is contracted out to Sodexho, who take pride in offering healthy food and good value. Meals are charged to a pupil's school account.

Parents Evenings and Dinner Dances

The Dining Hall is used for a wide range of social and catering functions,  including  parents' evenings.   This means that refreshments are available to help along the discussions!

Outside school hours the dining hall is also available for hire through Edinburgh Academy Enterprises. Within a self contained and attractive listed building, with secure off road parking, the spacious facility (68 feet by 39 feet) has panelled walls and strip wood floor, with a raised stage area at its east end, making it ideal for dinner dances.  There is a convenient side aisle for coats etc.

The Dining Hall is used for many different types of events:  weddings,  dinners,  meetings,  dances etc. 200 people can be accommodated for a formal dinner.
