As Coldingham's premier bar and restaurant, the only competition coming from the mediocre-looking…read moreAnchor Inn across the road, it would be difficult to come to this little getaway town and NOT pay the New Inn a visit. Situated right in the heart of this blink-and-you'll-miss-it township, this sturdy old town house offers a very warm and homely welcome. The staff and locals that dine here both willing and eager to engage in conversation with someone new. In truth I dragged Jennie here in the hope we could catch the Premiership games on their TV. One problem: no TV. In fact no media of any kind, the bar being devoid of even a musical ambience. So we sat down for dinner, as we had been prior advised this was the better of the two Coldingham Inns for food, with an eye to catching the footy at the Anchor after. We started with the home made garlic bread with cheese, very lovely, the bread very rustic and just the right amount of crisp. For mains, Jennie chose the Haggis, Neeps and Tatties while I opted for one of the specials, Pork Medallions, Black Pudding, Red Onion Mash and Rosemary Gravy with veg. The haggis, although plentiful, seemed to be standard fare with nothing outstanding to comment on. Very middle of the road. The pork was only slightly better, but the medallions were not medallions, more aptly described as tough cutlets. The saving graces of the dish were the black pudding and the mash, which combined with the gravy made me wish I'd just ordered that as a side and got some bread to dip. So two average meals but what really let them down were the prices, most notably my special which cost a very over-priced £15. Nowehere near worth it, but given the competition is nigh on non-existent, the New Inn can charge what they like. So no atmosphere, average food, saved only by the warmth of the staff. We made a quick exit to the Anchor for footy. At least they had TV. One problem... they're watching Beechgrove Garden...!

Great surprise find in Eyemouth…read more We were visiting Lindisfarne a few days ago when the oncoming tide laid our 'on island' lunch plans to rest. So as we headed north toward Edinburgh we were on the hunt for a likely spot. Eyemouth caught our eye and we found Oblo next to the harbor. We ate upstairs on the deck in the Bar/cafe area and had a nice view to go with our great meal. I went for the open faced steak sandwich and my daughter got the haddock goujons (aka fish and chips) and both of us were very pleased. My wife ordered the langoustines which were quite good. But the big surprise (to me at least) was my son's pizza with chicken and parma ham. The ham was just delicious and the pieces of chicken were not the dry and tasteless chunks I had feared. Lastly, tasty drinks were had by all - ale and cider for the parents and juice for the kids. The service was good and it was really nice to be able to enjoy a sunny day in Scotland by eating outdoors. We were very happy to have found Eyemouth...and Oblo.

Both dishes were cooked perfectly, with a nice combination of flavors and textures.

My other half went for a vegetarian option from the Daily Specials board - wild mushroom, spinach, and caramelised onion crepe, with ratatouille and fondant potato. This was presented beautifully and was so tasty. Definitely one of the best vegetarian options I have tried in a while. As for desserts, I would have liked to have seen a lighter, fruit-based option, so decided against a dessert. However, my dining companions all ordered desserts and were suitably impressed.

We tried on our first week in Edinburgh and failed, but were able to make reservations 3 weeks out for our last night in Scotland, and we are glad we did.

For mains we enjoyed the poached Cod, and the Pork with Barley. Service was very good, and wine selection was extensive. Atmosphere was loud with music and locals' chatter in the bar below, but dark tables and heavy wood panels made it a perfect place for a couple celebrating 3 weeks of travel.

But they call these lessons, "character building," apparently. No matter, the Devil's Advocate is worth the search. Located in an old Victorian pump house halfway up (or down) Advocate's Close, the Devil's Advocate is known for a killer whisky shelf of more than 300 different bottles from various distilleries across the Highlands, Lowlands, Speyside, Campbelltown, the Islands, and Islay. I finally sipped on a 15-year Tamdu that has convinced me to keep a bottle at home. Then there's the Clydeside 2024 Limited Edition Cask Strength that was wicked impressive. The bartenders are class at making and serving seasonal and regular cocktails that have their spin and character. My wife enjoyed gin-based cocktails such as the Clean Slate (with St-Germain, citrus, and sugar), Rose Garden (with Yellow Chartreuse, Cocchi Rosa, apple, lemon, and mint), and Bee's Knees (honey and lemon). I went full speed ahead with the scotch cocktails, which are essentially classics with a scotch-substituted twist. The Double Shot is an Espresso Martini with Dalmore 12 in addition to Kahlua, espresso, and demerara -- quite smooth without being too sweet. The Scotzia is a Negroni with Fettercairn 12, while the Boxcar is a Sidecar only with Aberfeldy 12. We enjoyed the bar for a few hours, watching the bartenders make magic while sipping on cocktails, while listening to 80s pop tunes. A great evening indeed.
