Review: A Game of Crones

April 4, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Braving Storm Dave for Game of Crones at the Traverse was well worth the effort. A&E Comedy offers a madcap, surreal defiance of ageing that is as visually striking as it is ferociously funny. A chaotic but charismatic 3.5 star odyssey.

Review: Fired Dough Pizzas, a city centre pizzeria

March 15, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Fired Dough Pizzas delivers an impressive Neapolitan crust in the heart of the West End. Perfect for a quick bite between films at the reopened Filmhouse, the speciality truffle and pistachio pizzas offer a creative twist on Italian classics. Quality meets efficiency.

Review: Dough Pizza, a city centre pizzeria

March 15, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dough on Rose Street is a New Town gem for those who value quality over fuss. With San Marzano bases and inventive toppings like marinated figs, it offers a sophisticated takeaway experience that remains reliable even during the festival madness.

Review: Ocean in Concert

March 12, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

From the beauty of the deep to the bleak reality of dredging, Ocean in Concert is a symphonic triumph. It is a rare, emotional look at our marine world that proves we have not yet passed the point of no return. Essential viewing.

Review: Treatz Edinburgh – A Dessert Parlour on Lothian Road

February 16, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A shiny and romantic dessert parlour that stands out from fading competitors. Treatz serves massive portions of sweet treats at good value. While the venue is impressive, the service pace is leisurely and can be awkward for first-timers. Ideal for couples seeking a quiet sugar fix.
