Review: Tram Trail 2026, a West End to Leith pub crawl

October 23, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Bellfield Brewery’s Tram Trail 2026 links seven Edinburgh pubs across the city tram line, rewarding drinkers who complete the coaster mosaic with a commemorative t-shirt.

Review: Cafe Piccante, a chippy in the city centre

October 22, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Known for its purple boxes and smiley face logo, Cafe Piccante serves Edinburgh revellers until 3 am. The chippy food is fair rather than gourmet, but the welcoming vibe and iconic deep-fried Mars bars make it a reliable Broughton institution.

Review: Do Not Pass Go @ Studio Theatre, Potterrow

October 21, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You know Monopoly as the classic Christmas argument, but its real inventor was completely erased. Jordan & Skinner bring the true story of Lizzie Magie to Edinburgh with physical comedy, oversized props, and sharp political wit.

Review: Manni’s, a halal smash burger and fried chicken joint on Elm Row

October 18, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Run by two teenage brothers, Manni’s lights up Leith Walk with crunchy buttermilk tenders, creeping chilli dust, and loaded fries. It is an unpretentious, high-value late-night haunt that punches well above its price tag on taste and size.

October 17, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Girdy & Birdy review Gio’s on Slateford Road. Discover standout fresh pasta, rich lobster ravioli, and why this buzzing Edinburgh Italian earns a 5/5 rating.

October 17, 2026 by Kirsten McLeod Leave a Comment

Remy and I headed along to Edinburgh’s Ultimate Halloween Pumpkin Festival at Conifox Adventure Park for some Halloween fun, and we had such a brilliant time! If you’re looking for something to do with the kids this autumn, this is definitely one to add to your list.
