The Best Weekend Escape from Edinburgh: Why Cooking at Yarrow Is the Ultimate Day Out
🎬 As Seen on Robson Green’s Weekend Escapes
We were absolutely thrilled to welcome Robson Green and the BBC crew to Yarrow this month as part of the upcoming series of Weekend Escapes, airing on BBC Two in January 2026.
Filming with Robson (and the brilliant Mark, who’s been part of every series) was such a buzz—and a true testament to what makes this place special. They came for a taste of what we do—and left with full bellies, new skills, and lots of laughs.
