Sister address of The Kitchin and The Castle Terrace Restaurant, this Scottish gastro pub is a credit to Stockbridge and confirms the district's trendy culinary identity. Burgers, fish & chips, steak pie, fish pie, risotto: the choice is quite traditional and the recipes are carefully prepared. The plates, carefully presented, are served in a pleasant room mixing rustic and modern. There are several craft beers and cask ales that change regularly.

The table was booked online and card details required. The booking portal asked where we'd like to be seated but upon arrival we were not were we asked to be seated. The menu online was very simple but online lots of information was omitted. I ordered a pint of Edinburgh Gold which was £6.50 and this was not to my taste at all but at that price I wasn't going to let it go to waste ☺️. The cheapest glass of wine on the menu was nearly £14 which was nice but nothing to write home about.
Now the food- personally I had the steak pie which was very tasty but for a dish that cost £20 it came with no veg or side it was the pie only in a modest size dish. I ordered the mash with it which was an extra £6!! It was very ordinary mash and certainly not worth the cost. My partner had the fish pie which had a measley amount of fish inside and really was more egg.
Service - I don't even know how to rate this as we barely received any at all!!! The bald fella (like myself) didn't interact with us at all, he literally said as few words as possible. He reached over without saying excuse me and at the end of our mains brought us dessert menus without asking. We'd decided early on to end the experience as early as possible.
To summarise the food was tasty but portions are honestly small!!!
Prices are outrageous our total was £65 for 2 mains a side and 2 drinks!!!
Service was non existent!!! Was it because we were 2 blokes and our waiter isn't a tolerant person? Had he a bad day and brought his problems to work? Lord knows but save your money there are much better restaurants than this one at a fraction of the price.
