Bar & grill · Edinburgh
Handy for families who want a proper sit-down meal without a trek into the centre — it's on a busy Edinburgh road about ten minutes from the airport, with buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, plus a few outdoor tables when the weather plays along. The grill is the draw, but the midweek deals are what people rave about: fish and chips for a tenner on Tuesdays, described as fresh rather than frozen, and drinks priced kindly for the city. Portions are generous and food arrives steadily even when it's busy, which matters with a hungry toddler. Service can be hit and miss depending on the night — some families find the team can't do enough, others have found them stretched. Vegan options are available. It's a pub setting, so expect a hum of noise at weekends.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
