Excellent place to have a Sunday roast. We had beef and pheasant both great. Also, we had salmon and a couple of desserts. Apple crumble was really good.
Cosy, relaxed pub. Lots of students and locals enjoying a pint. Good service, friendly staff.
Possibly one of the best club sandwiches I’ve ever had, staff are so friendly, the pub is also dog friendly and my pup felt incredibly welcome! Wonderful stop!
The balmoral pheasant Sunday roast was absolutely delicious and a very generous serving too. Service was great as well, though we did ask to change to a table that would be more comfortable to have lunch at.
Not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best pubs I’ve ever visited. Had the special roast, roast Pheasant stuffed with Haggis, was incredible. Good recommendations from the bar staff on drinks. Proper glasses for the drinks, including a half pint glass for the half-Guinness which is hard to come by nowadays and is a nice touch. Big TV’s for the football and nice atmosphere inside. Toilets very clean also
Always a winner for a Sunday roast of seasonal game. Portions are beyond generous with homemade Yorkshire puddings and tons of accurately cooked vegetables. Their cow pie special was superb. It was packed with venison and crispy pasty with tons of gravy inside and lovely rustic chips. Good craft beer offering and one of the few decent places to watch live sport in Edinburgh
Such a nice place to have beers with friends. There are several rooms so you can find both noisy and chill spaces depending on your mood. Lovely quotes in the walls. Lots of taps so you can be 100% sure you'll find the beer you need. I recommend it. Never tried the food but I will try it as soon as I come back. Menu seems affordable, and the dishes that I saw served looked delicious.
A cute place, much bigger than visible to the eye from the outside, with a relaxed and cozy atmosphere, and a fresh and light take on local favorites. For starters, we had the soup of the day, a vegetable and tomato option that tasted as if it of your grandma's kitchen. I also had the wings, we'll seasoned, crisp and with a fresh side salad. For main course we had a venison pie and fish and chips, substituting salad for chips, with a side of perfectly cooked, vibrant green peas. Price for food and drinks was around £60. Is gladly come back for seconds.
Fantastic hidden gem with a great cosy atmosphere, friendly welcoming staff and great food. The bar itself is decorated in a cosy traditional style and host quiz nights on Wednesday and Sundays. There are pub games in the back corner to entertain you while enjoy a drink. Moving on to the food it is fantastic especially for the price. I had the MacDillon burger, it was cooked beautifully and the burger was a proper burger patty rather than a frozen mass produced one. Can't wait to go back.
Came here one night to grab a fast, comfort-food-type dinner. Didn't disappoint; The "3 pigs" with roasted veg was excellent, and the rest of the family had the beef and the venison pies, and both were proclaimed to be very good.
