TRGC has opened Forth & Main, a new Scottish-American diner concept created exclusively for Edinburgh Airport.
The restaurant opened to passengers on 30 June, bringing a new dining concept to Scotland’s busiest airport.
The concept takes its name from the coming together of two cultures. Forth is inspired by Scotland’s Firth of Forth, while Main is a nod to classic American Main Street.
Together, they represent the fusion of Scottish hospitality and Americana that sits at the heart of the brand.
Occupying the former BrewDog site, Forth & Main blends the nostalgia of the American diner with the warmth, wit and character of modern Scotland.
Open from breakfast through to the last flight of the day, the all-day diner and bar will serve comforting favourites, quality coffee, cocktails and locally inspired dishes in a vibrant setting.
The restaurant’s personality extends beyond the menu.
Inspired by vintage Americana and Edinburgh culture, the interiors feature playful design touches and a bespoke Collector’s Series of illustrations celebrating Scottish character with a contemporary twist.
The result is a dining experience designed to feel unique to Edinburgh Airport.
Created by TRGC, Forth & Main reflects the company’s ambition to develop original hospitality concepts inspired by the destinations they serve.
The opening marks a new chapter at Edinburgh Airport, giving travellers a dining experience shaped around place, character and memory.
Jonathan Knight, CEO of TRGC, said: “After a fantastic run with BrewDog, we saw an opportunity to create something completely new. Forth & Main is our take on the classic diner – inspired by Edinburgh, full of character and where vintage Americana meets modern Scotland.
“We wanted to build a place people would remember, not just somewhere to grab a quick bite before their flight. From the food and drinks to the interiors and artwork, every detail has been carefully considered to give the space its own personality. We can’t wait to welcome passengers through the doors and share Forth & Main with them.”
Stephanie Wear, Chief Commercial Officer at Edinburgh Airport, said: “Seeing a new brand join the airport is always exciting, and we know passengers will look forward to the range of food and drink on offer at Forth & Main.
“We always aim to offer choice, and this opening introduces a new dining concept to the airport – an all-day classic diner serving a blend of American and Scottish favourites from breakfast through to dinner. And that means big bites before flights.”
The opening strengthens Edinburgh Airport’s food and beverage offer while underlining the growing role of travel hub hospitality in creating distinctive, destination-led passenger experiences.
