I'd say we over ordered and should have given the sides a miss. The waitress upsold me on needing those. They were good but could have easily done without. That aside, very good food and place was full. Hate an empty and quiet restaurant. Link to comment

Ive done it a fuckload of times working away from home but it still always feels a bit weird. Link to comment

Well I'd suggest either taking her with you or going here after you've done the business because I am still tasting it! More importantly, how did you get in tow with an Edinburgh lass for a ride? Long trip. Link to comment

She's from up here but moved down to Edinburgh a while ago. Mid 20s and a Ferrari chassis. I stayed down in Edinburgh for about 5 years so doubling it up with meeting mates from down there for a tear up. Terrific. Link to comment

The ginger gives it a really interesting flavour. Will be making it again. Doesn’t sound authentic, but decent effort. Photos next time. Link to comment
