Review: Red Squirrel, a gastropub on Lothian Road

October 12, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Looking for a quick pre-show meal near Edinburgh’s West End theatres? The Red Squirrel pairs hearty Campervan steak pie with swift, friendly service. It delivers a solid, comforting plate right when you need honest food served on the clock.

Review: The Brunswick Book Club, a gastropub on Leith Walk

November 3, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A 5-star review of Leith’s Brunswick Book Club. It’s a well-run, casual pub and restaurant with “absolutely fantastic” food. Great for solo diners, groups, and terrace-lovers. A remarkable discovery that’s great value for money.

Review: The Basement, Mexican Food and Cocktails

November 2, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Basement is an atmospheric Mexican restaurant on Broughton Street. With its Day of the Dead decor, it’s a perfect date spot. We love the tacos (Taco Tuesday!), drunken beans, and churros. Staff are superb, but it gets busy, so book ahead!
