The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, delicious food, and prompt, friendly service. Battered haddock: Easily the best fish & chips I've ever eaten, beating out places I've tried in both London and Australia. The batter was super crispy and non-greasy, the fish was thick and meaty, and the chips were cut to perfection. Mushy peas: not quite steamed peas, but not quite pea soup either. I liked them, though they felt a bit heavy for May and seem better suited for winter. Haggis: If you're sensitive to gamey flavors, run away from it. It was rich and deeply gamey, coated in a light batter. It came with homemade beetroot ketchup, apparently a UK staple, which complemented it nicely. Pickled onions: The only letdown of the meal. You just get two small, un-sliced onions that barely tasted pickled. All in all, definitely worth a visit if in Edinburgh.

We recently spent two weeks in the UK, and by the time our final full day had arrived, I still…read morehadn't tried vegan fish and chips, so when I saw Bertie's was nearby, I decided that's what I wanted. It was super busy and full, but we were seated at a table in the corner rather quickly, and since we already knew what we wanted (vegan fish and chips for me, a veggie burger for my son), we ordered, and the food came relatively quickly. My son liked his burger, but the fish and chips? A total disappointment. The "fish" was clearly a premade option from the store, and it was so dense and hard that I could barely finish it. The chips were fine but no flavor so I needed to add salt. The plus was the vegan tartar, which tasted quite good. And of course, I added vinegar. But I was bummed that the ketchup and mayo was in little Heinz packets instead of bottles. This is so unnecessarily wasteful and also kind of a pain to constantly be opening and squeezing them. Our service was friendly and quick, so that's great, but everything else was pretty meh, and to be honest, I don't think I'd come back here.

One item that's not listed on their menu, although it really ought to be, is the deep-fried Mars bar. According to MyFitnessPal, this tiny snack will tax your body a whopping 600 calories! Worth only £2.50 a piece, it probably deserves a medal for such a stellar calorie-to-price ratio.

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.

I asked for a large fish & chips. The portion was ample, breading, crispy without being overly greasy. The mushy peas were respectfully electric-green and though a bit dry were some of the better mushy peas I've had with F&C. The inn appears to have a large number of locals and the wait-staff seems a bit undermanned and inattentive. (I didn't feel particularly welcome nor did there seem to be any rush to fill my glass.) In all fairness I didn't see anyone in the back room get any attention, so it wasn't just me. Might come back just to have a proper look at the menu--I'll make sure to come early, say about 6PM--I figure that should be enough time to get a meal and two drinks.

They also have a small, free parking lot (car park for the Brits) by the door which isn't obvious from the street. You can pretend that's the outdoor seating.

The fish supper usually has two pieces of fish, so you could get one fish supper between two people pretty much. The fritters are also really good and worth trying.

It is hard to park outside during the day but at night it is no wonder that the place is always packed. One never has to wait long in the queue as the staff have an excellent system which has each customer dealt with speedily. The prices are reasonable and there is always a good selection. Unlike most other chip shops one never has to wait on anything. I would recommend caution very late at night as there is a high level of delinquents hanging around, as they generally do around the Drum Brae area. Ps. take a look at their specials as there is always something interesting.
