Review: Fiver Pizza, a pizza takeaway on Easter Road

February 25, 2024 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Fiver Pizza is a relaunched takeaway on Easter Road, which really does sell pizzas to walk-in customers for £5, and they’re good!

Review: The Bullfinch, a beer garden pub, Leith

October 22, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Okay, hands up! I’m terribly late with my review of The Bullfinch, a pub in Leith. In a previous life, it was The Pond, but it has had new owners for two years now. I’ve been popping in since it became The Bullfinch, and despite not drinking as much as I used to, I really […]
