Tempus @ Grand Central

Marilyn Monroe once said that ‘Fame is like caviar. Good to have but not at every meal’.

We know how the Blonde Bombshell felt. The autograph hunters, the paparazzi – it can all become wearing.

However, hang fire on the bodyguards.

You can enjoy the exclusivity of private dining for ten people with today’s Big Deal at Glasgow’s gorgeous Grand Central Hotel.

Landmark building

Beautifully renovated and re-opened in 2010, the Grand Central is one of Glasgow’s landmark hotels and it has welcomed everyone from Churchill to Frank Sinatra.

At last years Scottish Hotel Awards, it scooped a tremendous seven titles including the Scottish Hotel of the Year.

Private dining

With today’s Big Deal, you and nine friends, family or colleagues can enjoy a luxurious private dining experience in the Scottish Hotel of the Year.

The experience begins with canapés on arrival in your stylish private dining room.

Each guest will be served a three course dinner from the luxury market menu, freshly prepared by the chefs of the award-winning Tempus restaurant.

The offer includes a half bottle of wine per person with tea, coffee and tablet to finish.

Seasonal ingredients

By their very nature, market menus change regularly but the dishes will feature locally sourced, seasonal ingredients.

Typical main courses might be the seared chicken supreme with cherry tomatoes and grilled courgettes, spring onion mash, smoked garlic and a red wine chicken gravy or perhaps the fish of the day with roasted fennel, a fennel purée and tarragon beurre blanc.
