Dinnae get a taxi up there billy, it’s a nightmare to try and stop on the handbrake. I had a guy accuse me of trying to kill his wife when my handbrake failed. It’s best to just get off in the Cowgate and walk up :greengrin. Trying to do a u turn up there is horrendous it feels like your going to roll over,Quote:

Worth checking out
I'll keep that in mind. :aok:Quote:

If quantity over quality is your bag then the chanter on bread street (student pub) do 25p per wing on Wednesday. They're small but at 4 for £1 you probably end up with a decent amount of chicken out of it. £3 pints midweek too.
Thought wings was decent when I went ages ago. It really is an in and out place as PB said though.
Anyone tried six by nicos home cooking kit? Can’t say I’m going to get it but would be interested to hear how others have got on with it!
Edit: it actually appears it’s just the food cooked and delivered.
I'm pretty sure The Doghouse pub on Clerk Street have a partnership with Wings and you can get them in the pub. At least you used to be able to, not been for a few years.
I seen that but they only do it for 4 people at the moment and didn't overly fancy it. I know they need to make it worthwhile but I would guess groups of 4 limit their customers significantly. The only groups of 4 I could imagine being together are those with kids and I can't imagine they're looking at fine(ish) dining options.Quote:

That's going above and beyond any expectations I could have of a business. :aok:
Missing my bi-weekly El Cartel visits so got Cochinita Pibil in the go tonight and also got masa harina flour to make home made tacos.
Could go an El Cartel Margarita now like 🤤Quote:

Only criticism are delivery charges (I picked up as i live close by) they charged delivery on each 3 course order.
Anyone else used a restaurant delivery recently? I see Stac Polly do it as are L’escargot Bleu.
Used Chinese Manor House & Eastern Pavilion a few times if they count. 😁Quote:

Their food's fabulous, and we're now likely to use them once lockdown is finished (Route 36 in Lanark).
We’re doing this tonight for the wedding anniversary. I’ve never eaten there but the menu looks great.Quote:

Sounds decent, would you recommend?Quote:

This week's menu is a bit veggie/salady for me, but will be looking out for the next one.

We got takeaway tapas from Malvarose in Portobello last week. We eat there quite often as it's a 15 minute walk from us.
Really good. Their homemade bread is exceptional and the pollo al ajillo was a huge hit with my 2 year old.
The Torfin in Corstorphine have now opened a hatch for takeaway draught beer, cocktails and a chip shop style menu.
I'm curious as to where they are getting their beer from. As of a week or so back very few major breweries were kegging at any kind of volume. We're probably at the absolute maximum time that any existing stock would still be usable. There has been a slight increase in production for kegs in anticipation of pubs reopening but it hasn't really ramped up yet.Quote:

I'm still buying cask beer (they also sell keg) from the Stockbridge Tap on a Sunday (they've started opening on a Wednesday too). They seem to be doing a decent trade. I get the impression they're supporting small, independent breweries, so perhaps not reliant on a return to mass production?Quote:
