    I heard about Oink on the Metflix show, Somebody Feed Phil, and immediately added it to my research for our trip. We stopped by for lunch one day and we each enjoyed a delicious sammich. The sammiches come on a big, soft, delicious roll. And they're filled with a generous portion of pulled pork. You get to customize them a little bit by selecting your bread, the size of the sammich, the stuffing (sage and onion or the homemade haggis), and a variety of spreads (apple, homemade mustard mayo, homemade chili cheese, and homemade chili jam). My wife got the sage & onion, and I opted for a haggis filling. We both very much enjoyed our rolls. They were very filling, and the staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. The haggis was unique, but we are very familiar with pulled pork sammiches back home. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend Oink to any hungry travelers in Edinburgh.

    I stopped here shortly before leaving Edinburgh on the train. This was my last meal in Edinburgh and very delicious. There is usually a line outside this simple restaurant but possibly due to the light rain, the line was fairly short when I went. I only waited for like 5 minutes. The menu is simple as the roasted hog/pig is the only thing on the menu. You can choose a few things to customize the sandwich or even order it in a box. I ordered the Oink size (medium) on wheat bread and chose sage and onion for my topping and then the Homemade Mustard Mayo for the sauce. They make it in front of you and it is fresh and very tasty. Unfortunately when I went they were out of cracklings. They wrap it in foil and hand it to you. Pretty simple and efficient. I love that the outside of the building is painted pink like a pig (coincidence? Probably not). This is a good place to try for a quick, cheap and yummy sandwich. They do this one thing very well. Please open more of these!

    Pulled pork

    Would give 10 stars if I could. Small place basically take out. Best pulled pork ever. You pick a bread(white or brown) a spread(sage and onion or haggis) and then a sauce. They have three different sizes. The servers are friendly and walk you through if it's your first time. The pulled pork is tender, juicy and cooked just right.

    With all the sit down restaurants some times a good BBQ sandwich is perfect. Oink made me squeal. The roll was very fresh and the pork meat tender and flavorful. Oink added something like a spread to the pork (which is not common in the US) but it seemed to add flavor. The joint gets crowded but service is fast. The pig decor added to the ambiance.

    I like when restaurants focus on doing just one thing really well. Limited seating, but it's a quick meal, so you should be able find space. No public restroom, so be sure to grab a lot of napkins because it's gonna get messy. Grunter on Brown Bread with Sage and Onion Stuffing and Apple Sauce: Well, the Grunter is definitely a huge portion. So much pork, sometimes you don't even get bread in the bite. Really liked the tenderness of the pork. Seemed fresh, since I saw the worker scooping from the whole roast hog behind the counter. I especially like the little bit of crispy skin that was placed on top the bun. The sage and onion stuffing was mild, but added some flavor. The apple sauce might not have been a strong enough pairing. Maybe mustard would have stood up to all that pork.

    For being a steak lover, my bf made a shocking declaration -- good pork is superior to good beef; though the latter is easier to find, in his experience. He was all *heart eyes emoji* at the giant roast pig in Oink's window. Similar to Filipino lechon, American South pulled pork, & Hawaiian kalua pig, Scottish hog roast draws large crowds because it is tender & flavorful. We ordered the smallest sandwich on the menu -- the Piglet size for £5.95 on a white roll -- & for toppings, chose sage & onion stuffing, apple sauce, & extra crackling (55p more.) I have no doubt I'd be dragged back to Oink if I were to drag my bf back to Edinburgh. Cashiers get you in & out as quickly as they can but the store is small & absolutely jam packed. We ate right outside on Victoria St. which is a great memory from our trip!

    A highly recommended sandwich shop we were told to try. I tried the Oink with white bread stuffing was a homemade haggis with homemade mustard mayo and adding crackling. Meat was very tender and the crackling was perfect contrast to the melt in your mouth pork and bread. Wife had the Oink with brown bread with Sage and Onion and homemade chili cheese adding crackling also. The service is fast and staff is helpful in choosing what you want in your sandwich. The store itself is small and limited seating if it was not raining at the time we would have just taken it to go and eat it while working.

    Located on one of Edinburgh's prettiest, most picturesque streets in Old Town, Oink simply can't be missed! Farmers Adam and Sandy wanted to bring their natural products from the farm to the city. Passionate about good honest food, they introduced Edinburgh to their deliciously fresh Scottish hog roasts at the local Farmers Market which turned out to be a huge success. In 2008, Oink was born and they have been serving Edinburgh's locals and visitors alike along Victoria Street and the Royal Mile ever since. If the large, chopped up roast in the window doesn't catch your eye, the bright pink signage surely will! Who can resist delicious pulled pork on freshly baked bread rolls? I know I couldn't. Head inside and you'll find their menu explaining how to order the Hog Roast Rolls. The freshly carved hog roast is served in a white or brown roll with a choice of sage & onion, apple sauce, chilli relish or haggis and topped with crispy crackling. I can't remember which stuffing and sauce I got exactly, but I do remember it was quite tasty! Oink was a really convenient, fast-casual meal and it was also one of the more affordable meals we had in Old Town. They wrap your sandwich up in foil so we were also able to easily bring it along with us and eat it on the way to our next destination. We visited in May of 2022, but I imagine (and hope) not much has changed. Overall, definitely recommend a stop here!

    Amazing pig roast. Highly recommend for lunch after walking and shopping along Victoria Street. Would for sure get it stuffed with haggis and the apple sauce topping.

    It's a fast food restaurant served pulled pork. They have 2 locations in Edinburgh, we went to the one on Victoria street while we were in the area. They have a very tiny dining area. It's very crowded inside so I noticed people didn't really sit down to eat. The line was very long but it moved pretty quickly. They have menu on the wall in English, French, Spanish and Italian showing how to order food here. Basically, you can order Hog in a box ( 250gm meat without bread) OR with freshly baked roll comes in 3 size - piglet (80gm small), Oink (160gm medium) and grunter (250gm large). Both options come with 1 stuffing and sauce. Besides that you can also get their combo with crips or drink. Service was fast and super friendly. We ordered the hog in the box with apple sauce, haggis, and a Grunter with homemade BBQ sauce. I honestly didn't get the hype of this place. Pull pork was dry and not flavorful. Apple sauce and haggis made the taste a bit different/unique. I had pull pork better else, especially in Asia. Overall, good portion for under 10 GBP but I wouldn't return.

    Piggybacking off of Ricardo J.'s review, yes this did hit the spot. While taking a stroll through Victoria Street, I noticed a line coming out of this fast-casual spot. Of course, it piqued my curiosity and I found myself waiting in line like a lemming. They focus on their pork sandwiches. The menu is not big but works for them. Choose from several different combinations and sizes. There's a small area to sit down to take a quick bite. Grunter- Brown bread, pulled pork, haggis, with homemade chili jam. This was the largest size. They toast bread, so it's nice, warm, and fluffy. The pork was juicy. And the creamy haggis with the tang from the chili jam paired perfectly with the pork. There's just a lot of comforting savoriness in each bite. Overall Service: Even though there was a line, it moves quickly. Everyone here was jovial and helpful. Highly recommend this spot.

    Thank you, Rosie Q., for putting this place on my list of places to eat in Edinburgh. It definitely hit the spot when it was needed. We came here late in the day and, like a good Texas BBQ place, it sells meat until they run out most days and not when they are slated to close. I still managed to get an "Oinker" size sandwich with the pork, chili sauce, and sage and onion mix. Think of it as roast pork with some spicy sauce and stuffing flavor. Yet the tenderness of the pork and the quality of ingredients elevated it to something much more. The staff was friendly enough and answered all the questions some other customers had - such as - "is this pork?" Here's your sign. The two young men hustled and helped us get a great sandwich at a great price. This was the perfect spot for a quick warm bite on a cold day. Seating is limited, though, so be prepared to eat on the street. Enjoy the view of Victoria Street, then, and good luck trying to take your time eating a masterpiece from here.

    The roasted pig head (lechon) in the window will get your attention on Victoria Street. It's very very cozy inside with limited seats and a line that's long, but it goes quick if you know what you want. You order your size, white/brown bread, choice of sage and stuffing or haggis spread, then choice of homemade sauce. I ordered the Oink Meal with the stuffing and chili sauce. Loved the small piece of crunchy skin on top of the bun. The pork was moist and filling. It was really good!

    Oink was pig-a-licious. Good place for a quick and tasty lunch. I needed a protein heavy-meal, and this did the trick.

These pies are a great light lunch or snack when consumed by themselves. Or one can get a variety of them and make it a meal. The pies are made fresh daily and displayed in the glass case at the counter along with other British style fried foods such as Tattie Dogs, Sausage Rolls, etc. There are a variety of the infamous pies offered. We tried a Steak and Ale pie and an Original Scotch Pie with brown sauce packet for the pour over. I enjoyed mine (Scotch Pie) and could've eaten a couple more God willing. Along with an Irn Bru, this was a satisfying and affodable meal. Definitely give this place a try when in the area.

They make perfect snack sized pastries that let you try a variety without getting too full. Compared to other local pasty shops their baked pastries use better ingredients and are better cooked. I love how flaky and golden colored the pasties were. You'll find a variety of traditional pasties here as well as some unique creations worth checking out. My kids loved the hasbrowns wrapped around a sausage so much we ordered an extra one even though they said they weren't hungry before. This is located in a busy area and there are a small amount of seats inside against the window and a small table next to the drinks. There isn't any seating or place to sit outside so I wouldn't plan on eating here.

    One evening in Berkeley, California, out to dinner with some friends at a Korean restaurant, I…read moreshared that I was heading to Scotland in July of 2019 and asked if anybody had been and had any recommendations for places to go. Probing why I was going a little, they got out of me I am of the Gordon Clan of Aberdeenshire, a Scotland of Old clan. One of my friends exclaimed, "Gordon!" He paused, looked me directly in the eyes and said, "You know we're rivals right?!" He is Nate James Lindsey. A member of the Lindsey Clan, one of the Gordon Clan's rival clans in Scotland of Old. Once we addressed our rival ancestries, he recommended to me The Baked Potato Shop in Edinburgh, the city I was flying into/out of for my first trip not only to Scotland, but to Europe as well. Well, I might as well go I thought, how bad can a rival clan recommendation be. The night I arrived in Edinburgh, 5 July 2019, I entered The Baked Potato Shop and was greeted by a friendly worker. After looking over the menu, I went with a baked potato loaded with vegan chilli and vegan Macsween haggis. After placing my order, paying, and getting the baked potato I thought the only thing missing from my first ever evening in Scotland was bagpipe music. No sooner had I thought that than I heard the sounds of bagpipes wafting across the cobbled lane out front of the Shop. Across the cobbled lane I went, lured by the wail of the bagpipes. After listening for a bit and providing a tip I returned to the guest house I was staying the night at. The food was delicious and filled my travel-tired belly. The haggis was the first I had of any kind, vegan or non-vegan, and it was an immediate favorite. Offset from my departure time zone by 8 hours, I went to sleep soon after eating. I woke up early the next morning ready to go. Turns out the baked potato and toppings cured my jet lag in less than 24 hours, quite remarkable. What a way to end my first day in Scotland, a recommendation from a member of a rival Scotland of Old clan yields tasty food. I will however note that I am also of Irish descent, so I am still not sure what to make of the recommendation in light of the Irish Potato Famine... Ahhh, Scotland of Old lives on.
