My absolute favourite eating spot and the best pulled pork sandwich in the world! yes I said it, in the world! Each day they cook a pig, and yep its perched right out the front to see. You get three sizes, depending on your hunger, starting 2.95£ to 4.95£ - so price is incredible for what you get! The bun - yep, then either haggis (come on you're in scotland!) or sage stuffing then the sauce apple or a chilli sauce then the pulled pork and ask for the crackling - OMG yum. Seriously was in edinburgh for 6 days, almost ate one of these a day! so good, good value. If you're lucky will get a seat, but generally its eat on the go or pray its not raining (unlikely, you are in scotland) and you can head ot the grassmarket and sit and eat outside. Overall, this is a must stop when in edinburgh! read more

With apple sauce and haggis, this was a very good sandwich. I only wish I could have sat somewhere to eat it! I will certainly go back next time I am in town :) read more

Descent food - descent prices. Not much sitting room - be careful the sandwiches are drippy. The chili jam is not spicy.

A must when you're in Edinburgh! The pork is so juicy and flavorful. My hubby and I shared the Grunter and a bag of chips - it was plenty. Reasonably priced, too! We will be back. read more

Oink had me at whole-roasted Scottish hog. The menu is simple: pick a size, a brown or white soft roll, a filling (stuffing or haggis), and a sauce. We got a piglet with stuffing and apple and an oink with haggis and homemade BBQ sauce. Of the two, I highly recommend the haggis and BBQ sauce combo. It was really flavorful and complemented the pork. The stuffing/apple combo was a little bland by comparison, although still good. A great place to grab a quick, affordable and tasty lunch! read more

Oink - Whole roasted pig. Yum! - Fast Food Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

See all

Really enjoyed this place. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. My wife and I enjoyed our sandwiches and had no trouble finding a place to sit even though it can be quite busy. The pork was excellent and the haggis was the best I had tasted on our trip around Scotland. I had the crackling with my sandwich and it was delicious, just like we used to have when we baked a ham in the US. read more

Stopped by during the late May bank holiday off Rick Steve recommendation and loved it. Being an American Southern gal I'm a little uptight on my pork reviews but this hit the spot. It was a little dry but was sooo close. I enjoyed an Oink with sage & onion stuffing and BBQ sauce. The husband had haggis and apple sauce on his. Should have read the reviews here as I would have mixed that up and tried with the chilli cheese sauce and crackling. We had 3 sandwiches (2 for the husband, 1 for me) and 2 bottles of water for under £15. This was the perfect quick, cheap, and delicious stop for lunch and very close to all the top tourist attractions. As a side note, The coffee machine was broken and they take cash only. Also very limited seating so be prepared to scarf down on the sidewalk. read more

Good roasted pork. Simple & straightforward. Not a lot of seasoning, although you have a choice of sage & onion or haggis stuffing & then a sauce. I opted for the sage & onion "stuffing". It's really more the consistency of creamed potatoes and they do a small swipe of it on the bread, then the pork and a squeeze of sauce. It's good. The "oink" portion is plenty unless you're starving! I had wished I had ordered the "piglet" size because it's a hearty sandwich. Definitely worth trying. read more

Great, lean pork sandwiches with a variety of sauces to choose from. Not many seats, but, if you're lucky enough to find somewhere to sit, it's a good lunch spot. Ideal for quick service. It seems like most people grab a sandwich and keep walking down Victoria street. read more

It was with great excitement and anticipation I went for my first "oink"... but then I consumed the offerings and the meat with buckets of water to make it appear 'juicy and tender' turned the experience into a bit of a let down - the lack of flavour in the meat bringing back not to fond memories of school dinners 30 years ago. The selection of sauces were great though so a plus for that. read more

I like pork a lot, so I guess it makes sense that I'd like A LOT of pork. Situated on Victoria St. right off of the grassmarket, Oink is an honest, unassuming eatery specializing in pulled-pork sandwiches. Did I say specializing? Is there a word for "it's the only thing on the menu"? There isn't? Well alright then. If you do not like pork: first of all, what the hell man? Second of all, this isn't the place for you. In fact, you probably should have been warned off by the roast pig carcass in the window. Yes, they have one of those. You walk up to the counter in what is a rather small looking space, with seating for about 5-6 people. There you can order one of three things.... ALL OF THEM ARE A PULLED PORK SANDWICH! Just differing sizes of such. You have the choice of the roll (white or brown), the choice of topping (haggis or sage and onion stuffing or both) and the choice of relish (apple or chili). This may seem like a difficult decision, but let me assure you: THERE ARE NO WRONG ANSWERS. Any and every combination will be no more or less mouth-watering and delicious as any other. The person working there (always nice) will then proceed to scrape a generous portion of pig (as in directly from the pig) onto your roll, wrap it some plastic and deliver it to your trembling hands. This will set you back between 3 and 5 quid, depending on the size. Now there's not a huge amount of seating, so if you go on a weekend, you may find it difficult to find a place to sit. This is ok, however, because there are no end to the benches down on Grassmarket. Plus, several of them have a view of that castle-y thingamajig everybody seems to rave about. **Hint, if you leave make sure to grab a fork and a napkin (pulled pork has a tendency to fall out of things...) I hope I have conveyed (without actually saying so) that Oink is awesome and you should never eat anywhere else and you should give me all of your money. But in case I haven't made that clear... GO TO OINK, you won't regret it. I accept most major credit cards. read more

Really tasty. Deducting a star because they wouldn't take my cash. They decided not to accept 5 pound notes and charged me to use a card. Pro tip: If you decide not to take cash, don't charge to use a card. read more

Hog roast!!! Slow roast pork, haggis and crispy pig skin in one bite. What more does one need. Oh, it's also cheap at £6 for a sandwich. I would come back religiously for this place. read more

Taste is fine. Always a long queue there. If u here have a try. Good choice for eating and walking~

Convenient and small looking place for a quick bite. Come in hungry and leave satisfied. Great place for meat lovers. Highly recommended if your walking around Edinburg castle. read more

Oink - Gruntter sand. (Medium) - Fast Food Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Oink was great. Nestled between quaint shops up the hill from the grass market, it is the perfect place to get a quick bite for lunch if you are on the go. Their simple menu lacks variety, but more than makes up for it in quality. You can make your own sandwich- size, bread, meat/topping, and sauce selections. I was really hungry after going on a long walking for of Edinburgh, and I needed something quick. Oink was perfect for that. I ordered my sandwich and had it in my hand in less than 5 minutes. Recommend for lunch in a busy day. You won't regret going to this great sandwich joint read more

Wonderful! I got the small with applesauce on my way to Hollyrood Palace and it was a great walking snack.

Loved this place! Quick service, good value, and delicious sandwiches! Ate so quickly, I forgot to take a picture! Wish this chain would come to the US! read more

Oink is something else! Tiny little place just up from the grassmarket, you'd walk by it a million times and then notice the ENTIRE pig they have in the window! nothing better than pulled pork on a roll with bacon and cheese and some classic sauce! i wish i hadnt eaten before we had come here to pick up a light snack as the sandwiches are very generously portioned and taste amazing! read more

Traveling from London to Edinburgh to Dublin and no joke... this is the best food I had the entire time and I had some good s**t. Highly recommend the haggis stuffing and the homemade chili jam. You made my trip worthwhile Oink. Damn you smoke a good pig. read more

Stop by for a snack midday and you'll be quite satisfied with a tasty pork sandwich. Definitely recommend the onion stuffing and BBQ sauce on the sandwich. Well worth the few pounds but probably not a proper lunch spot read more

Oink - Fast Food Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Terrific pork sandwiches. Menu is simple -- pick size (we got pink, which is the medium...though grunter--the large is the same size bread only with more meat), white or brown bread, stuffing, and sauce. We got sage and onion stuffing with apple sauce. A great snack for 5ish pounds. Lines get long around lunch. read more

I stumbled on this eatery as I wandered the Royal Mile. It was delicious! I had the oink with sage and onions. My mouth did a happy dance from the first bite to the last. Highly recommend! read more

Oink makes me happy. Its that simple. I live in Los Angeles and I would be willing to take the 11 hour plane flight for a sandwich at Oink. Basically what you get is pork. Slow cooked, displayed for all, sweet juicy cracklin, and some nice local toppings. If your looking for variety, look somewhere else. If you want an amazing inexpensive pork sandwich that will knock your socks off, look no further. read more

Fabulously honest, nourishing, hunger-beating and simple good food. Eat it! The Oink shop on Victoria Street is a sight to behold, with resplendant porker on show, but you need to be swift and fortunate to score a pew inside. They are quickly devoured if you are remotely hungry however, so no problem with taking too long to trade seats! Looking forward to sampling as outside catering at a special event soon too! read more

I had a white roll w/ onion stuffing and apple sauce. Personally not a huge fan of that sweet sauce which did not pair up well with the pork. The meat was tender though. I also asked for cracklings, but the guy obviously forgot. Bottom line: a cheap place to get a decent pork roll if you happen to walk by, but does not worth a trip specifically for that. read more

What drew me into Oink? The full roasted pig sitting in the window display! Go in, pick the size of your sandwich (the "oink" medium size was a perfect snack/small meal portion), pick your bread, your stuffing flavor (I went with sage and onion), and your sauce (spicy chili cheese). The meat is super flavorful and juicy. The amount of sauce was minimal and not spicy at all, and I think having the bread toasted would've made it perfect. But I was really happy with my meal, and the worker even gave us a few pieces of cracklin to try out (salty and delicious)! If you're tired of pub grub, give Oink a try! read more

I had a sandwich at Oink during my 2-days trip in Edinburgh and I loved it. If you are looking for a cheap and quality fast food in the city center I highly recommend it. Its offer is really easy and well explained: choose your size, your bread, your stuffing, your sauce and... enjoy it! The meat is really tender and tasty and the stuffing includes the traditional Scottish haggis. read more

My husband insists on a stop here every time we are in town! Since I'm pregnant and not trying to be healthy like usual, I indulged in the delicious pulled pork (literally straight from the roasted pig in the window) on a brown roll with sage/onion stuffing and applesauce - divine! Would highly recommend that combo, although my husband would say he likes it with haggis and hot chili sauce, but that's the best bit - there's something for everyone. Sandwiches come in different sizes so you can stuff yourself or just have a bit of lunch. It's cheap, the meat is delicious and juicy, and the condiment choices are simple but brilliant. It's an Edinburgh staple and a must-try if you're in town! read more

First time I ever had a British hog roast sandwich was here and I was never more glad I braved going in despite the harrowing image of the whole pig roast in the window. Soft, tender, juicy, and full of flavour! Now I make sure I take my visiting friends from other countries so they can get an amazing food experience. read more

Ein absoluter Pflichtbesuch bei jeder Schottland-Reise! So so so so super lecker. Jede Stadt sollte ein Oink haben. Bitte macht einen Laden in Hamburg oder Berlin auf. Bei unserer nächsten Schottland-Reise kommen wir 100%ig wieder. read more

I had a friend in town and we found Oink while doing the Royal Mile. We saw the roasted pig in the window and thought we had to try it. The sandwiches were great! Really tender pork and a good deal for the size we got. I had the sage sauce which was good and different. read more

Came in after a very long Sunday walk, and came away completely satisfied. My girlfriend and I split two sandwiches - one with haggis and mustard mayo, and one with sage and onion and apples. Both offer something a little different and are equally excellent. The sage/onion/apple pairing is probably the better overall, as it mixes some good sweetness to counterbalance the richness of the pork. That's not to say that the haggis and mustard isn't good, it's just richer. I'd happily have again either in the future. read more

Delicious pork here. You see the roasted pig in the window as you walk by. Ordering is a snap, you can get sandwiches or meat in a box. We had the meat in the box and the haggis spread and spicy bbq sauce. Delicious. read more

Awesome hole in the wall shop. The meat was delicious. I had it with the apple sauce and it was really yummy. Super filling!

Great food to go. Filling and cheap. I which they extended a bit their hours as the do during the festival.

I don't think I've ever seen a menu this simple, but yeah basically it's what you see roasting by the window. If you're at all squeamish about seeing what meat looks like before it becomes meat, you might not want to pop in for a visit, but otherwise I can't think of many other places that can fill you up with a nice hearty lunch without draining the wallet. The pulled pork I found to be a bit bland, but maybe that sort of plain-ness is normal. It is, however, supplemented by incredibly flavorful fillings and toppings, and the meat is basically just a medium for all that goodness. Definitely ask for some crackling if you're a fan. read more

BEST pulled pork I've ever had in my life. If you're in Edinburgh, you have to go here!! Great place to go if you're looking to try haggis as well. I thought it added a lot to the pulled pork sandwich and was delicious! read more

Amazing pork roll! Perfect after hiking Arthur's Seat. Ask for the crackling--it's worth it. The apple sauce and BBQ sauce compliment the pork perfectly. Dreaming about this sandwich from California read more

If pigs could fly they'd all taste like this. Since they don't you'll have to visit Oink to try heavenly roast pig here on earth. There's only one thing on the menu: a roast pig roll. If you're from USA like I am, you might think you'll miss the smoke flavor in what looks a bit like pulled pork. Trust me, you won't. This whole pig is lovingly roasted for 12-14 hours and then carved into sandwiches, served on a soft white or wheat roll with either rosemary onion relish or haggis (trust me, get the haggis) and sweet chili sauce or apple sauce. The haggis provides just the right level of earthiness to cut through the salty fat of the port. And don't forget to ask for cracklin, a square of crispy skin cut with kitchen shears and placed on the roll. Get there early as they make one hog a day, and they sell out. read more
