Newtonmore & Kingussie, Scotland — December 04, 2025
The Lunchbox Boys have been officially crowned Scotland’s Best Wedding Caterers, taking home the top honour at Your Scottish Wedding Awards, held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central.
Co-founders Sam Cairns and Dougal Cameron, proud Cairngorms locals and long-time friends, accepted the award amongst an impressive line-up of finalists from across the country.
“An incredible event — thank you to every single person who has been part of our journey to this point, the list is endless and we are so grateful!” the pair shared following the win. They also congratulated fellow nominees across all categories for raising the bar in Scotland’s wedding industry.
From humble lunch drops to Scotland’s best
What began in 2018 as a handful of healthy lunch deliveries soon gathered pace — and a loyal following. By 2022, The Lunchbox Boys Ltd was officially incorporated, built on the belief that great food and great people make the best events.
Fast forward to today, and the business has grown into a 70-strong team of chefs, servers, and event specialists bringing decades of experience in private dining, fine dining, and large-scale catering.
“We’ve built a brilliant team around us, all united by a shared passion for exceptional food and standout service,” said Dougal.
“From intimate dinners to multi-course wedding feasts, we thrive on creating fresh, creative, locally inspired food — always with quality, care, and a smile.”
Why the judges took notice
The Lunchbox Boys’ commitment to seasonal, locally sourced Scottish produce is at the heart of everything they do. Their menus are designed to feel both elevated and approachable, combining restaurant-level cooking with warmth, personality, and a focus on unforgettable guest experiences.
From large weddings and corporate events to small garden gatherings, the team prides itself on delivering fantastic food and genuine hospitality — something the awards panel clearly recognised.
Another chapter in the story…
Reflecting on the milestone, Sam said:
“Winning this award is huge for us — but it’s only one chapter. We’re excited for what’s next and incredibly proud of the team who make all this possible.”
The Lunchbox Boys continue to cater weddings and events across Scotland and the Highlands, bringing their signature blend of creativity, flavour, and friendly service to couples and clients far and wide.
