Food Style? Scottish Pub

The Scottish weather is meeting all expectation at the moment - it's pouring with rain and it's the middle of summer. On the way back to my accommodation from the Edinburgh Castle is this gastro pub. With a warm, cosy atmosphere and classic 80s beats, let's see how their food fares.

Mains


Bacon, BBQ, applewood and red onion beef burger
The burger looks quite basic without any greens. The patty is over done but the bacon and barbecue sauce are excellent, as are the red onions. The bun should have been toasted to bring out that beautiful aroma of nuts embedded in the dough. It annoys me when buns are too large for the party. It's not too bad, but far from perfection. They get points for giving me a bottle of sriracha for my fries.
