Best Fast Food Restaurants in Gladhouse Reservoir

"My favourite lunch spot in Edinburgh is Oink, I was in the city for a weekend last year and went there twice it was so delicious. They specialise in pulled pork sandwiches, and have managed to make the best damn pulled damn pulled pork sarmie that I’ve ever had. Their menu is simple: choose your size (Piglet, Oink or Grunter), choose your bread (white or brown), choose a stuffing (sage and onion or homemade haggis), and choose a sauce (mayo, BBQ, chilli cheese, or chilli jam)."

"Oink has been roasting pig since the turn of the millennium, and what began as a small street food hog roast has now bloomed into several Edinburgh sites, each touting deliciously loaded pork rolls. Check out its location on gorgeous Victoria Street, where every day a new roast sits proudly displayed in the window. The menu is small but simple with hog roast sandwiches on soft white baps in small, medium or large sizes."

"Devotees of the pork sandwich will flock to Edinburgh’s Oink; although the menu may not be especially broad, they’re exceptionally good at what they do. A hog roast on a roll, (small, medium or large), with a choice of stuffings and toppings, and with a drink on the side, will cost you 9 USD at the most. The optional stuffings are either classic Sage and Onion or, for a more Scottish taste, you can add haggis."

"The almost constant queue at Oink’s Victoria Street shop speaks for itself – the fresh hog roast rolls here are not only tasty, but also great value. Perfect for a meal on the go or a lunch at your desk, the rolls come in a small, medium and large sizes, with a topping choice of sage and onion, apple sauce, chilli relish or haggis. Simple but satisfying, even the biggest sandwich option here (affectionately known as The Grunter) will only set you back £4.95."

"This popular tex-mex restaurant does serve meat (sorry) but they’re also famed for their vegan pulled jackfruit burrito, made with slow-roasted, barbequed jackfruit: a sort of tropical fruit that takes on the consistency of pulled pork when cooked. The burrito also comes with spicy salsa, either black beans or pinto beans, and vegan cheese. If you don’t fancy jackfruit you can opt for a true taste of Scotland instead and try a veggie haggis burrito!"

"The Tex-Mex fast food trend was slow to arrive in Edinburgh but there are now two excellent rivals – Illegal Jack's in the south of the city and Los Cardos in the north. Illegal Jack's is a slick branded operation with the product to match. While the menu carries fajitas, nachos and tacos, it's really all about the burritos."

"Mighty and flavoursome burritos, tacos and quesadillas dominate the menu at Illegal Jack’s, which you can choose to stuff with locally-sourced haggis alongside the more traditional chicken and steak options. Cult Scottish beer brand Brewdogs washes it all down."

"Another food place just off the Royal Mile, hidden down one of its closes, Wings offers exactly what you’d expect: chicken wings. While this might not be quirky in itself, it’s full of fun pop culture references, including a Jurassic Park table, Star Trek quotes, and a wall full of characters to find. It’s also fantastic for some cheap eats in the city centre, as each set of 3 wings will cost you £4.50 – I recommend ordering two lots, and definitely not three as we found out the hard way, unless you’re really hungry!"

"Specialising in budget-friendly chicken wings, Wings has over 50 different kinds on the menu. Each bowl comes with six wings topped with your choice of sauces and seasonings, from spicy pineapple jerk rub to maple barbecue sauce. Visit: 5/7 Old Fishmarket Close, EH1 1RW - wingsedinburgh.com"

"Wings is Edinburgh’s first and only restaurant dedicated to chicken wings. Every bowl comes with six wings, topped with a choice of seasonings and sauces. The venue ranks the spice of its options in ascending order from zero to five."

"With three restaurants in Edinburgh, Five Guys is well-known and loved for it's burgers and fries. Made with the toppings of your choice, the diner style eatery is has been racking in the orders from locals in recent weeks. According to Deliveroo, the 'Bacon Cheeseburger' is the most popular dish."

"Lush have made a name for themselves with unique, handmade, ethically sourced health and beauty products. Now they have taken the next step an offer spa treatments from their Edinburgh store.

"Dating back to 1726—although arguably operating since 1505—Edinburgh University’s medical school is the oldest in Britain, and one of the oldest in the Western world. The Surgeons' Hall Museums offer a particularly fascinating, if macabre, slice of the city's history. Particular oddities include a pocketbook made from the skin of William Burke, one half of the infamous Burke and Hare duo who, in the early 19th century, murdered some 16 people in order to reap the monetary rewards of delivering a cadaver to Edinburgh University for dissection."

"Getting to Surgeons Hall Museum : Located on Nicolson Street, the museum is a 9 minute walk from St Christopher’s Inns Edinburgh. The Surgeon’s Hall Museums are three museums rolled into one: the History of Surgery Museum, the Wohl Pathology Museum and the Dental Collection. The oldest artefacts inside these museums date back to 1699, however the building didn't open to the public until 1832 making this one of the oldest museums in Scotland."

The Edinburgh Playhouse has been host to the likes of Amy Schumer, Louis CK, Jack Whitehall, Jimmy Carr, and Catherine Tate, to name just a few. This former cinema, which was built in the style of The Roxy cinema in New York, has been around since 1929 and makes for the most brilliant of comedy venues due to its sheer size and acoustics."

"EdinburghThe Edinburgh Playhouse has some great shows throughout the year including a great Panto. There are also childrens events in the school holidays and youth drama activities"

"Perhaps one of the most-adored venues of the Fringe, The Pleasance Courtyard can be considered the heart and soul of Edinburgh’s comedy scene.
