Mums is the spiritual home of the Clootie Dumpling in Edinburgh. While many places treat it as a seasonal novelty, Mums serves it with a year-round dedication to the 'granny's kitchen' style. The texture is famously dense and moist, avoiding the dryness often found in mass-produced versions.

Under the guidance of Michelin-starred chefs Tom Kitchin and Dominic Jack, this version elevates the humble pudding into a gourmet experience. The spice profile is sophisticated, featuring deep notes of nutmeg and cinnamon that are perfectly balanced by the clean, cold milk ice cream.

Located on one of the most photographed streets in the world, Howies delivers a consistent and high-quality Clootie Dumpling that serves as the perfect introduction for visitors. It is reliably spiced and served at the perfect temperature to let the dried fruits shine.
