  “I went in around 3pm and it wasn’t very busy then. I had the scotch egg and sticky toffee pudding, which was pretty delicious! I also did a beer flight and enjoyed all 3 beers. I highly recommend!”

  “Had a lovely lunch here with my husband today. The three waitresses working were all very friendly and recommended some local beers for us to try! Despite not having a reservation, the young woman managing the restaurant was able to find us a seat quickly and gave us some great tips on where to visit during our trip. Will definitely be back next time we are in Edinburgh”

  “Our hostel recommended this restaurant and told us we could get a discount. However, when it came time to pay, the manager staff refused to honor it, claiming that we should have shown the discount card before ordering. They blamed it on their system, which sounded like a very unreasonable excuse. Even if that were genuinely the case, there were many better ways to handle the situation. They could have displayed a clear notice informing customers of this requirement, or offered some form of compensation or goodwill gesture. If a business chooses to run a promotion, it should be prepared to honor it and budget for it. Instead, they simply shifted the responsibility onto the customer, which felt both unprofessional and disappointing. This is not the level of customer service I would expect from a business in a modern, well-managed society. The food itself was very average, making the overall experience even more disappointing. If you can’t reliably honor your promotions, it’s better not to offer them in the first place.”

  “Came here for a Sunday Roast and it was very good! We were seated quickly just as the dinner rush was beginning but the place never seemed overly crowded or too loud. Everything was seasoned perfectly and the Yorkshire puddings were perfectly flaky.”

  “This is an incredible place that we will definitely visit again on our next trips to Edinburgh. The venue has a wonderful atmosphere, attentive staff, and absolutely delicious food. We especially loved the traditional dishes such as haggis and the delicate creamy soup with smoked salmon. The beer was excellent as well. Thank you!”

  “Fabulous authentic pub! What an absolutely lovely pub with nice decor. The staff were very friendly and the food was so good! I can highly recommend the fish&chips, for £18 you get such a large portion and the fish is perfectly crispy. They equally have lots of options for draft beers! We were staying at the High Street Hostel so we got 20% off which was fab! Would definitely come back 🤩”

  “Visiting from Dublin..Really lovely spot. Seated 6 of us. We stopped into to have a small bite for a break. Nice staff and lovely place. Also very clean toilets which is the mark of any pub/restaurant. Everyone happy with their food. Massive fish n chips. I advise any beer drinkers to try the Innis & Gun local Lager. I stayed on it for the weekend. Really nice.”

  “Great experience all around. The young ladies managing and serving were super nice, food was really good, a good number of beer choices and fun live music. We were very happy with our choice. I really enjoyed my Bangers and Mash and my wife her fish and chips. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was a great dessert option to finish out with. Highly recommend all.”

  “The food was excellent. We got the namesake burgers. One complaint was that they were so massive we had to deconstruct them to be able to fit them in our mouths. The fries were great, the salad and coleslaw were good too. We got a cocktail, and espresso, and a Guinness which were all perfect. Overall great food and service.”
