Little Rascal in Corstorphine, Edinburgh, can be hired exclusively for up to 25 guests. It is a neighborhood wine bar and bottle shop, and private hire covers small wedding receptions, christenings, birthdays and team gatherings, for a few hours or for the day.
Seminars and company events
The official site lists team gatherings among the events it has hosted. For a small company, this works as an informal after-work evening, a client tasting or a team celebration built around wine, rather than as a meeting with presentations. The site describes no meeting equipment, so plan around drinks and sharing plates.
Tasting events are also run on a ticketed basis, with wine producers and importers presenting regions such as Piedmont and Spain. These are public events, but they show the format the team is comfortable running if you want a guided tasting for your group. Ask whether a private tasting can be arranged.
Weddings and receptions
Small wedding receptions are named as something the venue has hosted. With a limit of 25 guests, it suits an intimate reception after a civil ceremony elsewhere. Separately, the team offers wine packages for weddings and events held at other venues: free tastings guided by the staff, free delivery to your venue, and a sale or return option under which unopened, undamaged bottles are refunded.
Rooms and capacities
The space is the wine bar and shop itself, taken over in full when you book private hire. The site gives one figure: up to 25 guests. It does not name separate rooms. Private hire is available throughout the week, and the length of the booking can run from a few hours to the whole day.
Catering
The bar serves small plates meant for sharing: snacks, a cheese selection and a charcuterie selection, supplied by independent producers from across Scotland. The shop's wines are all available to drink in or take away, with a focus on low-intervention, organic and biodynamic bottles. The official site does not describe a full catering service, so ask about food for a longer event.
History and setting
