I've eaten here in the recent past too and can safely say that the food is of a standard to match the gastro-feel of the bar interior. Whether due to the tax on the price of a pint or down to what brewers charge you're not paying markedly less than in the centre of Edinburgh seven miles to the East, unlike you might expect from it's more rural location. A round in a smilar establishment in the West of Scotland or in the North East of England would be a different ballgame. It is though well stocked and so you enjoy a great deal of choice for your money.

The Kinleith Mill is immediately visible as one steps off the riverside path, and it was great to see people enjoying a cider in the sun. We decided to sit inside as we wanted to eat as well as drink. We were a group of four friends, and were quickly attended to by the friendly bartender. We all ordered a sandwich with chips, and a selection of pints to wash it down. Pints were cold and refreshing, really nice, if a little expensive. Sandwiches all tasted good too. High quality ingredients, good value, and a nice atmosphere in which to enjoy them. The place was busy on this Saturday afternoon, with plenty of regulars sitting at the bar with their drinks, but also plenty of people in for lunch. It's easy to see why, with the friendly atmosphere and the nice food on offer. I'm not sure how often I'll be out this way, but I'll definitely pop in again if I'm around. Recommended.

The bar has a good selection of beer and ales, and they do champagne by the glass served with a juicy strawberry for £4.95 (part of the reason why my mum is a fan!). The bar staff are friendly and professional, and the atmosphere is welcoming. The last time I was in there was football playing on some big screens at one end of the bar, not being a football fan, I sat at the other end of the pub and it was hard to tell that a game was on - this isn't the kind of place that tolerates rowdy sports fans. Although I wouldn't travel all the way out to Juniper Green especially to visit this pub, if you're in the area or live nearby it's a good place to go for a civilised drink.

The staff are friendly and professional, I'm always greeted with a smile and they're usually up for a chat and a bit of banter.

The atmosphere is best described as quiet, friendly and local. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come here, but it's a decent enough wee pub.

I took a walk along here one sunny Sunday after my other half, always on the lookout for craft beer bars for me, found that the Colinton Inn had started selling bottles of craft beer. Doing so in a very humorous way, Colinton Inn have dubbed themselves the "heart of craft beer within Colinton". The Colinton Inn being 1 of 2 pubs in Colinton, I found this funny and thought that I should pop along. Upon entering I noticed that this local had had some serious work done to it as well as keeping the old school feel about the place. A few TV's were dotted about, showing whatever sporting events happened to be on. A half decent selection of beers. Flying Scotsman, McEwan's Red on tap and beers like Iron Maiden's Trooper, Hobgoblin, Punk IPA and Innis & Gunn plus a few more in bottles were all available at a very reasonable price. 1 pint of Strongbow and 1 pint of Flying Scotsman came to £6.70 which I was very pleased with. Full bar is also available. Live music and other random events are also hosted. Worth a visit.

Once doubling back I found a decent enough local pub with its own little dining section in the back. I was here for a colleagues leaving do but I didn't eat here so can't comment on that. I get the impression that it would be homely, pub grub served, but there is nothing wrong with that. The pub itself, looks just like a local pub - bar and lounge area at the side, nothing fancy but homely on a wet and windy Friday night. Drinks are reasonably priced - £3.60 for a small glass sauvignon blanc and around £2.80 for gin and mixer. Wine sometimes is something that traditional pubs struggle with (another glass of vinegar, eh, no thanks!) but this wasn't the case as the sauvignon blanc had just the right amount of zesty, refreshing bite and there were several choices for non sauv blanc drinkers on offer. Pub munchies with post work drinks are another danger, but a good range of crisps and nuts on offer and not weighed down by a huge markup. All in all a fairly decent local pub and I probably will return, given its proximity to work.

So definitely a proper thumbs up for the logistics of catering for a group of hungry and muddy cyclists. I ordered the mac and cheese and when it arrived the entire table leaned over to look at its sheer heft and comment on whether I would finish it. I could only eat half and it was less than £9. It was good mac and cheese, but the addition of sweetcorn, peas, carrots and chips made it a bit of a struggle! I would kill the fourth star though at the pub looked a bit tired. It didn't have that warm, cozy traditional feel inside and neither a modern look. From the outside it looks like a proper lovely local, but as soon as I came through the door I felt a bit let down. But hey, some folk will like the decor I'm sure.
