Operator response
Dear Peter, Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry for the disappointment and disruption caused by the cancellation of your experience. We want to provide you with some important context. The host, Fiona, had to cancel the event due to an emergency surgery. The operation took place on May 18th, and she was released from the hospital on May 21st — just two days before your scheduled class. At the time, she was still unable to speak and was not physically able to host or communicate directly. To make matters more difficult, the phone number listed in the booking appeared to be incorrect, which prevented her from reaching out personally. Fiona deeply regrets the cancellation, as well as not being able to provide more explanation at the time. She’s always committed to creating meaningful experiences for her guests and was heartbroken not to be able to welcome you. We understand your frustration and hope you’ll accept our sincere apologies. Warm regards, The Eatwith Team

Perfect Scottish meal
Fiona was a perfect hostess! The Moore family welcomed us into their home and shared the experience of cooking a healthy whiskey infused Scottish meal fit to celebrate 30 years together. Come experience Fiona’s library of recipes and they may share other literary stories of the area. We had a blast; MUST DO EXPERIENCE!!! ❤️ Thomas & Stacy
