Had a great time at Cold Town House. I ordered a pizza, cider, and ice cream for dessert, and everything was delicious. The food arrived relatively quickly, and I appreciated that you can order online. The system even lets you know if the kitchen is backed up or if there will be a longer wait, which is a nice touch. One minor annoyance was that the pizza comes uncut, so you’ll need to slice it yourself at the table. The location is fantastic, right next to Edinburgh Castle, making it a great place to stop while exploring the city. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and it was the perfect spot to catch up with friends over good food and drinks. Overall, a great experience with tasty food, convenient ordering, and an unbeatable location.
We had a great time here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was quick for both food and drinks. We had a table reserved upstairs on the roof terrace, with a fab view of Edinburgh Castle. There was a great buzz in here. Highly recommend a visit.
Gotta say not great! Was excited to come here for some light snacks and a casual dinner, and it was such a miss! The ambiance is great, good music, cute decor, but the rest is just underwhelming. We got the salted pretzel, but it was not salty. At all, no salt to be found!! And the cheese sauce was very gritty and flavorless, which is a bummer because beer cheese is not rocket science especially for a brewery type place. The corn ribs were dry and flavorless, and the sticky jack chicken bites were actually okay but needed some kind of dip to feel complete. We sat with dirty plates on the table and empty drinks for over 30 minutes while the wait staff walked by multiple times and glanced at our table and walked on by. We tried to use the QR code on the table to order more drinks and more food but the items we wanted were not on the menu online. Decided after near 40 minutes we’d to try to flag down a staff member but they were nowhere to be seen which is frustrating. When they finally came over they left the dirty plates that were now neatly stacked at the end of the table. The cocktails were too sugary and were filled halfway which is mental for a 12£ drink. Finished it in three SMALL sips. Taste was fine but overall would pick somewhere else if you’re a foodie. Can’t comment on the view because we were on the first floor but I’m sure it’s lovely based on photos.
We had an absolute blast as a table of 9 with 5 kids. Jordan on the bar was super sweet and gave the girls some chocolate. He also understood the need for spice on the pizza! The flights of beer for 9 quid were great value, and it being home brewed is a great plus. All the food was excellent and as you cam see their stone base pizza oven was a highlight. So welcoming and accomodating on our visit and I could not reccomend them more highly. Great food, ale and excellent service that is a rare treat.
Forgettable experience. We heard good things about Cold Town House and were excited to have a reservation for dinner on our first night staying in Edinburgh. The food was disappointing - the pizza had no flavor and was half crust. It was beautiful day to be on the rooftop but the music was not the vibe - club/house music for dinner hour. Their live acoustic music was much better. Each time we tried to remember where we ate this night, we couldn’t remember it was Cold Town House.
