Kilted Pig

Went here after playing at the meggetland sports complex across the road, they hand all the drinks me and my friends wanted to order which is always a good start! Staff were very polite and more then happy to serve you even though it was fairly busy, even the toilets were clean and of good standard.
The only reason not the full 5 stars was because they stopped serving food at 9 which really was our fault but as it was busy would have expected to maybe extend the kitchen hours.
All in all a good place to visit if you are near.

A pub in my time of need. I was looking for a place to watch some Friday night football and the Kilted Pig performed admirably. It’s a suburban place and from what I could see (when not enjoying an entertaining 2 – 2 draw) it has a loyal clientele. Regular drinking buddies meeting up, blokes clustered round high tables, couples meeting up with other couples. The staff are attentive, buzzing about the place in a higher ratio to customers than many a bar in Edinburgh.
I had a bite to eat too, taking the bar tender’s recommendation. He recommended the blue cheese burger, which isn’t on the menu, but it was duly served up and went down a treat. The usual array of chips, salad and sauces were par for the course and saw me well supped by full time. Now, I’d eaten in here many years earlier and been heartily disappointed by the thin patty of meat that was served up luke warm… the time’s they appear to have been a’changed however and I’d be happy to return for more.
Why no more stars? It’s a fairly standard place that does what it does well with few bells or whistles.

well I think this place is ok. I come here every year for christmas eve and get drunk with my crazy family, the jacksons are somewhat famous in this place. the food is quite good! its a shame Nel J had such a bad experience! drinks are too expensive though!

Came here with some work colleagues for a quick lunch. I’ve been for drinks a few times and I find it a reasonable local pub but wondered how it would be for lunch.
The Kilted Pig do a reasonable lunch menu of light bites (I think priced between £3.50 and £8) and includes soup, sandwiches, baked potatoes, fish pie, risotto and stovies. Plus you are still able to order off the normal menu.
We all ate off the lunch menu and although nothing fancy, everyone was impressed with their portions and enjoyed the food. We were just over the £50 for 6 lunches, a bottle of wine and 3 soft drinks so we couldn’t complain.
I had booked a table a couple of days before. After explaining we needed a quick turnaround, I was given menu’s away with me so we could phone in a pre-​order before heading down so good service too.

The Kilted Pig is near my workplace so sadly we sometimes go for drinks or lunch (no longer) with colleagues. I say sadly because I’d rather avoid the place.
The food. Or rather what they call food. Best avoided. For instance, I had the worst Ceasar salad ever (I mean, how difficult is it to make a Ceasar salad?). The burger appears to be only safe option. So if you happen to be there for food, stick to that.
It’s quite a gathering for sports watching, so best avoided when there’s football on. Because there is far too much furniture is this bar, it makes it difficult to get to the bar or to the toilets.
The drinks are city centre prices. And no, I don’t want to pay £4 for a G&T in that part of town, sorry!
The only upside in summer is the outside sitting, a very sunny spot at 5.00pm, don’t forget the sunglasses!

I’d been wanting to go to the Kilted Pig for ages, simply because I think it has the coolest name for a pub, ever.
I finally had my chance last week when a few people from work headed there for Friday beers.
I was surprised when I walked in because it has the feeling of being too bright and cluttered with tables, while not terribly busy. I think they tried to fit in too many tables without considering people moving between them — I noticed the wait staff struggling to get around to pick up glasses.
I don’t really have much to say as a pro or con about the place other than I didn’t feel comfortable or enjoy the vibe. It didn’t make me want to stay and have another pint, which I would have thought would be the goal of a pub, no?

Have been here a few times when it was formerly the Park Bar, which was ok, it is a sports bar but they held a Ladies night on a Thursday which I went to to get BOGOF desserts and a glass of bubbly when you arrived… Now it is The kilted pig, so when it opened I went in and it was a nice touch/​novelty getting a little plate of pigs in blanket before your meal. I went in again a few weeks back for lunch which was standard pub grub, nothing to write home about, I had the beef salad which was covered in a sticky sauce. I was disappointed at the coffee as I ordered a cappucino which had no froth, basically a latte with chocolate sprinkled on it.
This aside I was in for christmas dinner with my family tonight as we will not be together for christmas day and wanted to get together for the festive season and we were REALLY disappointed. We felt like a complete hassle to the staff. Upon arrival we were told there was no choice of food as we hadn’t pre-​ordered. My Mum had booked it and apologised, advising that she was told that as there were just 6 of us we did not have to. My husband and I are not big Turkey fans so asked if there was even a veggie option we could take? The waitress sighed, rolled her eyes and said she supposed we she could see if we could get something of the normal menu. We felt quite embaressed and said turkey would be fine. So the options were, soup or pâté then turkey or turkey and then chocolate cake or xmas pudding… at £19.00 per head I would have thought a little bit more effort could have been made. We ordered our drinks and then received our starters which were good, very tasty and everyone enjoyed, then we got the turkey, served on cold plates with cold veg and watery gravy… but again the pudding was good… We ordered coffee again and I learned my lesson and opted for a black coffee which was fine, however my husband asked for an espresso and received half a cup of black coffee.
We paid our £165 bill and left, don’t think we’ll return again.
I would understand if the chef was run off his feet but we were the only xmas group in. There were just 2 other tables of 2 eating, one had nachos and the other had fajitas… I wish I could have ordered them… I am not going here again… Shame, it used to be good.

Nice trendy bar which is frequented by locals and students alike, good food at reasonable prices, students get good deals, loads of plasma tv’s showing sport all day.
