Tanners - Edinburgh, City of

Lovely friendly staff and ambiance in Tanners here for my sons birthday family get together lovely time had by all food was great as usual 3 courses had by most of us all of us had a dessert as can’t resist it as too many too choose from highly recommend definitely be back again.

We now live locally and have been looking for a nice local restaurant and we have definitely found it. The food was impeccable and we enjoyed the comfort surrounding us 10/10 a first time today for us today and certainly not a last!

Arrived and was shown to table by friendly Barman, ordered soup and husband ordered haggis fritters the I ordered steak pie and husband had scampi. The food was delicious and absolutely piping hot! Sou very tasty and husbands enjoyed the haggis, the steak pie was one of the nicest iv had in a long long time, meat just melted in my mouth, scampi was love and fresh. Definitely will go back. Just real hearty homemade pub food with decent portions

The food was lovely but took ages to come. We had to wait one hour from arriving to receiving our food. The staff were pleasant and attentive. The surroundings were quite plain rather than a restaurant or traditional pub.

Went for a quick bite to eat as was passing through the area. All the lights were off (1pm in the afternoon) and we were greeted by a woman behind the bar. The way she spoke to us it was like they were hoping for no customers. Anyway, got told to sit anywhere and we were given dirty table mats and a sticky menu. I had the soup which was cold and my friend asked for the chicken balmoral with chips. When it came there were no chips but we made no fuss. The soup had obviously been sitting around a while before being served which led to it being very cold. Would I go back? Never.
