Where to Eat Before Scotland v New Zealand
A rugby day is about more than the time spent in your seat. It’s the catch-up with friends, the discussion about the starting line-ups and the anticipation as kick-off approaches.
Start your day by arranging to meet at The Murrayfield Bar & Dining. Enjoy food and drinks together, soak up the atmosphere and make the pub part of your pre-match plans.
Our location on Roseburn Terrace makes us a convenient option for supporters looking for food near Murrayfield Stadium. You can build a meal into your day without making a separate trip into Edinburgh’s city centre.
We cannot reserve tables on rugby match days, so please arrive early if you’re hoping to eat before the game. Seating is subject to availability, and arriving early does not guarantee a table.
Explore our latest menu on the website before visiting. If anyone in your group has an allergy or dietary requirement, contact our team ahead of time so we can discuss your needs.
Leave a comfortable gap before kick-off. You’ll want enough time to find a table, order, enjoy your food, walk to your designated stadium entrance and complete the entry checks without rushing.
Discover Our Newly Refurbished Pub
The Scotland v New Zealand fixture arrives just two days after our public reopening, making it a chance to experience the refreshed Murrayfield Bar & Dining during our opening weekend.
Our major refurbishment brings a new look to the venue, alongside a brand-new menu. Whether you’ve visited the pub before or are discovering us for the first time, we’re excited to welcome you through the doors.
For local supporters, it’s an opportunity to get reacquainted with a neighbourhood pub. For those travelling into Edinburgh, it’s somewhere to meet and enjoy the start of your visit.
Come with your usual rugby-going friends, bring someone attending their first international or arrange a reunion with supporters you only see on match days. We’ll be delighted to be part of the occasion.
A Meeting Point for Scotland and All Blacks Supporters
Getting a group together on a busy rugby day is easier when everyone knows where they’re going.
Make The Murrayfield Bar & Dining your meeting point and share the address with your party in advance: 57–59 Roseburn Terrace, Edinburgh, EH12 5NQ.
If your friends are arriving at different times, agree a meeting time beforehand and allow some flexibility. Match days can be busy, so give yourselves plenty of time to enjoy your visit before heading to the stadium.
Travelling supporters are welcome too. Whether you’re visiting Edinburgh for the weekend or making a day trip, we’d love to see fans from both sides enjoying the occasion together.
For larger groups, please bear in mind that we cannot reserve tables or guarantee that everyone can be seated together on rugby match days.
Plan Your Pre-Match Visit
With a 2:10pm kick-off, it’s worth organising your meal and journey before the day itself.
Start by checking your match ticket for the correct entrance and any arrival guidance. The time needed to reach your seat will depend on your route, the entrance you’re using and the crowds around the stadium.
Allow time for the whole experience. Finding a table, ordering, eating, walking to the ground and getting through entry checks all need a place in your schedule. Food service may take longer during busy periods, so avoid leaving your meal until close to kick-off.
If you’re travelling by public transport, check current service information before setting off. Major events can affect journeys around Murrayfield, so allow some flexibility.
You’re welcome to contact our team with questions about the menu or food service before your visit. Please remember that we cannot take table bookings for match day.
Meet Up After the Match
Once the final whistle has gone, there’s usually plenty left to discuss.
Whether it’s a standout performance, a crucial decision or a moment you’ll remember for years, the conversation rarely ends when you leave the stadium.
If you’re planning to meet friends afterwards, consider returning to The Murrayfield Bar & Dining. It’s a chance to catch up with people seated elsewhere in the ground and continue your afternoon together.
If you’re hoping to eat after the game, check kitchen service times with our team. Our no-bookings policy applies throughout rugby match days, with tables subject to availability.
