Bringing People Together Through Art and Experience


Meet Craig Thom

Hey there, I’m Craig, the guy behind Faffless. After spending years sharpening my skills in some of Scotland’s top kitchens, I decided it was time to bring my own vision to life here in Aberdeen. Cooking has always been my passion, but I’ve also got a deep love for art and community. That’s why Faffless isn’t just about the food – it’s about creating a space where everyone feels welcome and inspired.

I like to mix things up in the kitchen, breaking the rules and playing with flavors to make every meal something special. This place is all about sharing that creativity with you, whether you’re here for a bite to eat, to enjoy some art, or to take part in one of our events. Faffless is my way of bringing together the things I love, and I hope you feel that every time you walk through the door.
