Exciting changes are on the horizon for food lovers in Inverness, as Cru Hospitality prepares to take over the management of the food court at Eastgate Shopping Centre. With a planned launch in June 2025, this new chapter promises to bring fresh energy, exceptional service, and a high-quality dining experience to one of the city’s key retail destinations.
A Proven Track Record of Excellence
Part of the award-winning Cru Holdings family, Cru Hospitality is no stranger to delivering outstanding food and drink experiences. With a portfolio that includes some of the Highlands’ most celebrated venues—such as the vibrant Whitehouse, the effortlessly cool Scotch & Rye, and the refined Prime Steak & Seafood—Cru has built a reputation for innovation, quality, and customer focus. This latest venture at Eastgate represents a natural progression in their mission to redefine hospitality in the region.
Bringing Fresh Ideas to a Central Inverness Hub
With a wealth of industry experience, the team at Cru Hospitality is set to introduce a dynamic approach to the food court, ensuring it becomes a go-to dining destination for both shoppers and the wider Inverness community. Expect an emphasis on quality, variety, and an inviting atmosphere—elements that have been the hallmark of Cru’s success across its venues.
“We’re thrilled to be bringing our expertise to Eastgate Shopping Centre,” said Scott Murray, CEO of Cru Hospitality. “We see a huge opportunity to create a modern, welcoming space where people can enjoy great food, fantastic service, a cheeky tipple, and a real sense of community. Our goal is to make the food court a destination in its own right, rather than just a stop along the way.”
Looking Ahead to June 2025
With operations set to commence in June this year, Cru Hospitality is already working behind the scenes to curate a diverse selection of food options that will appeal to a broad range of tastes. By combining local expertise, a commitment to excellence, and an understanding of what customers truly want, the food court at Eastgate is poised for an exciting transformation.
This move underscores Cru Hospitality’s dedication to elevating dining standards in the Highlands, and visitors to Eastgate Shopping Centre can look forward to a fresh, vibrant, and customer-focused experience in the near future.
