I had a fantastic lunch here! Dave was wonderful and the staff was attentive and kind. The restaurant is very pretty and cozy. The food was amazing. I hope to return next time I'm back in Edinburgh!
It was our last night in Edinburgh and we picked the Sheep Heid Inn for our last meal, it was a bit our of our way but worth the drive. The location feels like you’re in a rural village, the pub and local area has some great history. The service and the food was excellent, we were well looked after, by all the staff. If we were locals I would eat here all time, it was that good. I highly recommend a visit, it's well worth it, thanks guys big thumbs up 👍👍
A chap we met near Arthur’s Seat told us about the Sheep Heid Inn. Having made our way to the picturesque Duddingston Village where the Inn has nested for nearly 900 years, we were lucky enough to score a table there. For a main course my partner chose fish & fries and I chose slow roasted pork belly with scallops and vegetables. We both ordered local lagers. All the food was memorable, with perfect seasoning, accompaniments and sauces. We particularly valued the simplicity of presentation, which was unfussy. The whole experience was satisfying and mellow.
Out of the way, but good to reach. Good atmosphere although the pictures on the website are a bit over the top. Good service and good quality food, although we found the proportions of Sunday roast to potato to be a bit off. Good selection of drinks and desserts. Parking at the rear can have you practice your parking skills when busy.
I have recently visited the Sheep Heid Inn for some food and drinks and I totally loved it. I ordered pizza with a side salad and it was delicious - well done to Chef Thomas as I happened to know that he prepared it! The pizza was beautiful and so tasty, lots of ingredients on it and very unique taste. Salad and drinks were also fabulous. Many thanks will be back!
We visited the Sheep Heid Inn for a family meal. The location of the Inn feels like you’re in a rural village, even though you’re a stone’s throw from Edinburgh. The pub itself is really old but very well kept inside and has an amazing traditional pub feel.
The service was excellent, friendly, welcoming and they made our children feel really welcome by providing colouring books for my youngest.
When the food came out it was fantastic. We had a three course dinner and an each meal that was brought out was excellent.
We were here on holiday and would highly recommend visiting this restaurant. If we lived nearer we would certainly come back.

Can not recommend this one enough!
The food, the service and the atmosphere in here is beyond stunning!
I can recommend the sticky chicken starters, the pan fried lamb rump, the sticky toffee was also beyond good.
The drinks are superb and the wine they got is really really good.
11/10!
