Bridging past
& present
The name The Postbox bridges the gap between past and present. It represents the evolution of a building that has served as both a cherished historical landmark and a place of learning — now reborn as a modern culinary destination for Perth. Every dish we serve is an extension of this rich history, as well as a reflection of the mentorship and guidance received within these very walls. We are not simply opening a restaurant; we are continuing the legacy of a space that has always stood for creativity, growth, and connection.

Executive Chef
Andrew Spence
At the heart of this vision is Executive Chef Andrew Spence, born and bred in the Shetland Islands, a place close to his heart, whose career has been shaped by exceptional training and experience. Andrew learned his craft directly from the former head chef of The Postbox, before his sad passing, and also trained under the late Alan Gibb at the world-renowned Gleneagles Hotel. He spent several years in St. Anton, Austria, serving as Head Chef at the prestigious Raffles Hotel, and built his reputation firmly within the Scottish food scene when he helped launch The Boar's Head in Auchtermuchty. There, his work earned the venue Restaurant of the Year 2024, while Andrew himself was named a finalist for Scottish Chef of the Year in both 2023 and 2025.
Cooking for guests and celebrities including Ewan McGregor, Isy Suttie, Chris van der Kuyl, and Bill Murray. Most recently, in a highlight of his career, Andrew had the honour of cooking for legendary 3-Michelin-starred chef Thomas Keller (of The French Laundry, USA).
His career has taken him across Europe — working in France (specifically the South of France), Austria (in the Alps region), and Spain — where he delivered Michelin-standard high-end catering for luxury chalets and private villas, meeting the most amazing people and enjoying incredible experiences along the way; his work is now deeply influenced by the precision, accuracy, and exceptional flavours he encountered throughout this journey.
Now, Andrew brings all of this knowledge, travel, and passion back home to create something special: a small, intimate restaurant where guests can step away from the outside world for a few hours. Here, the focus is entirely on you — to relax, enjoy, and truly savour every bite, tasting the quality, care, and dedication poured into every single dish.
Cooked with passion
Andrew's philosophy is to utilise every single part of the animal, and he has a particular passion for working with wild game and the most sustainable fish available as local as possible. He carefully selects each of his suppliers in Scotland and in Europe to ensure he not only sources the very best quality produce, but also keeps food miles as low as possible — all with the aim of promoting a more eco-friendly approach to dining.
