Holyrood 9A

A pleasantly cerebral pub-and-grub joint with chucklesome quotes from Voltaire and Alexander Pope adorning the walls and menu, Holyrood 9A reaches for similarly erudite standards in its food and drink offerings. A fantastic venue for trying out rare brews from all over the world, the pub has over twenty such nectars available from the pumps, as well as a hearty wine, spirit and cocktail selection. While the menu specialises in traditional stomach liners such as gourmet burgers and grilled sandwiches, there are also various lighter options (the halloumi salad and the sweet-chilli dipped salmon sticks are particular winners) worth getting your teeth into.

I've been to the tavern several times. I found the food to be particularly delicious. There is also a great selection of beer. However, lately, the service there has been terrible. The waitresses act like they are doing me a favour by serving me and it almost ruins the experience for me. I will go again, but if this continues more (it's been four times), I will go elsewhere.

Love coming here often for a bite to eat. Surprisingly large inside, it has been recently been taken over by new management who have much improved the site.
Good atmosphere- busy, but not so much so that its uncomfortable or too loud. Staff are very friendly and attentive.
The menu offers a range of inventive gourmet burgers (i love the chilli burger- which comes with jalapenos, chili cheese, sour cream and a rich spicy sauce), as well as salads and sides. The burgers are generous in size and presented nicely, on wooden boards with a pot of coleslaw and string fries. Deserts are lovely too- try the toffee sundae...if you any room left!!
Fantastic range of drinks, including many beer choices and cocktails for under a fiver. Wine is jokely listed under "cheap", "good" and "great" - meaning there is various price ranges. The beer and burger deal for under a tenner should not be missed!h
Would definitely recommend a visit :)h
