MUMS actually began life back in July 2003 as the Monster Mash Café but in July 2010 we said goodbye to our old protégé and became MUMS Great Comfort Food. We’ve come a long way since our beginnings in 2003, but the original ethos of MMC still applies, top nosh at half the cost, it just got better.
At MUMS we believe ‘gourmet’ can and should be for everyone, it doesn’t have to be all ‘poncey’ and value prices should never be an excuse to use inferior ingredients or to serve up microscopic portions, we know you know better and so do we.
We go to great lengths to source some of the best producers this country has to offer. We start locally and if we can’t find a local supplier we throw our net further until we find what we are looking for.
Yes, ‘gourmet’ should be accessible to everyone, in fact we feel it’s each individuals right to experience great, well made food, at great, non-bankrupting prices and it’s your right to have great service too!
They say, you can’t have your cake and eat it – we disagree, at MUMS you can have it all.

To reserve or not to reserve, that is the question? Well, for some things the answer is simple, MUMS does not take reservations.
We do cater for large groups on a regular basis and if you would like further information on a group booking at MUMS please contact our team in advance on 0131 260 9806 or email us mum@mumsgreatcomfortfood.com
Please note that during August and New Years Eve/Day we are also unable to accept group reservations.
Please note that MUMS unable to accept reservations during August or on New Years Eve/Day, we do appreciate this can be frustrating, however we felt this was the fairest option for everyone to get a chance to enjoy MUMS, because for those people who are upset that we don’t take reservations, there are an equal number that get upset because we do, (which goes to show you can never win!).
