Bridge & Castle Bar in Edinburgh, City of

Ivan is very attentive and fast!

I had some time to kill and was hungry, so I decided to eat here. First of all, the self-ordering system didn’t work. When I went to the desk where the bartender was standing, he said that the chef was on a break and would be back in 30 minutes. So, I waited, but nothing happened. The chef was basically just standing at the bar, talking on the phone, and occasionally doing some cleaning during that time. After about 45 minutes, the bartender and chef took all the menus from the tables without saying anything. There were also a couple of other people who had been waiting for quite a while. After an hour, I went to ask if the chef was ready to cook. The bartender looked at the chef, who was standing near him, and he just shook his head. So, they made us wait and didn’t even bother to say that no food would be served anymore! Very unprofessional and ignorant staff.

Ivan was a delight as a waiter. Very kind, efficient and easy to accommodate any requests given to him.

I didn’t eat here, but my service at the bar was fantastic. I was served by Kenneth who was very polite and chatty. I am not the most comfortable flying and he put me right at ease. Will definitely be looking out for him the next time I fly from Edinburgh. Thanks K Teigan

Ivan was friendly, professional and answer to all my request. Thank you V

We chose Bridge & castle bar because it is clean and bright, very spacious for 3 luggages next to seats. Is a scan and order service but we are very happy to have Ally offer his service while we are submitting our orders. He is very friendly and attentive Thank you Ally. Each table is nicely spaced and some tables have 3 pins charging ports. Food and beverages are served hot and quick. Highly recommended especially if you are early for your flight.

There is no way this is a double of Baileys. They shortchange you and charge an exorbitant amount.

Food was hot and delicious. Staff polite.

Tried the haggis cheese burger and fries. It was really good!

Pretty good for an airport restaurant. Really gets the job done when you have to wait for your plane. Very friendly service.

Pleasant atmosphere, clean and surprisingly quiet for the location. You can order via qr code, which was easy. Food and drink arrived quickly and was simply delicious! Very friendly staff who make you feel welcome. Thanks!

Lovely friendly staff, very helpful & the Scottish breakfast went down nicely. Thank you 👍

Solid scran. Quick service. Nice atmosphere.

Great service and chat from Ivan great guy

Thank you for having me! Friendly staff and perfect spot to grab food or a drink before your flight!

I arrived Edinburgh Airport early so i had to look for something to eat. There are few coffee shops, restaurants but Bridge & Castle Bar caught my attention. It was the best decision that i chose Bridge and Castle bar👍. The Cheese & Bacon Chicken Burger was tasty. Their service was awesome. No difficulty in ordering. Atmosphere was pleasant. The place is not crowded. I enjoyed chilling while waiting for my flight. Recommendable!

Oluwayemisi is an outstanding customer representative, very attentive, patient and cheerful.

Oluwayemisi customer's service is outstanding, she has a receptive attitude and her level of patience is worth emulating.

Yemi, very courteous, kind and friendly, excellent service

Yemi was very engaging and helpful during my visit

Vist on 16/10/24 at 14.30 member of staff (oluwayem) was very rude. When starting to order my meal and drinks. I was told to wait so she could a tell other member of staff who was at the otherside of the bar that he needs to go faster. When ordering they was no eye contact from her at all. After I order my meal I was told the total price without any politeness at all. The total was £30.67 so I handed £41.00 , Oluwayem then look at the money i gave her and try to give me back my £1 and said that I would be getting coins back anyway I try to explain i gave her £41 so I could have a ten pound note back and the rest of my cash back. Oluwayem then that a annoy look on her face and roll her eyes . At this point a other member of staff who overhear came by to help. Oluwayem then handed me a £10 note rest of cash back. Oluwayem then said" I told him that he would get coins back" before walking away. I was shock she just walk away. The other member of staff try her best to apologise and told me she would speak to oluwayem. I really hope oluwayem gets more customer service training as she really needs it.

Delicious Scottish Salmon and Eggs, Americano, and kind service: simple and lovely

Nicer option to dine in the Edinburgh airport

Amazing only stoped for a coffee the staff were amazing and had the best laugh ever

Served by Iyan. He saw my uniform and checked if I knew about offers for fellow airport workers. I did not know so thank you to him. Coffee also very good.

Perfectly adequate in the context of airport catering, and probably as good as Edinburgh can offer for a cooked meal. Wine was good.

Great place , great staff . Fraser is terrified of Australia already 😍

Nice place for a quick lunch before departure.

The staffs are friendly and it’s very near to departure gate. We ordered a vegan nachos and it tasted surprisingly delicious!

We did enjoy the food here while waiting for our flight! Especially the nacho, good taste! Thanks Shawn for the help!

Pleasant place to get a bite before security! Staff was very nice and food came out fast.

Great food and a fresh cold pint

Kenneth is such a friendly guy, great service with the Kenny Smile! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁

Temi as excellent, super service

4 hours to spend at the airport and this place drew me in with it’s welcoming space with a surprisingly snug feeling despite busyness and noise everywhere else. Friendly staff. Shaun in particular was very approachable, chatty and kind. I just had a latte (sadly no decaf from the espresso machine).

Kenneth was amazing, friendly and very polite

Just what we needed after a long flight. Will be back again. Crisp pints of iced water and enough brown sauce to make any Scot proud, flowed like a Highland stream. Good burger. Good spot for people watching.

Lovely meal at the Bridge & Castle Bar and Kitchen. Quick service and the food was delicious.

Yemi is fantastic. She has good customer care. I enjoyed my Time at Edinburgh airport when i was in transit

Yemi- very good customer centric, friendly. Charming. Very prompt in serving customers

Food was lovely, very filling. Only thing we weren’t to keen on was using the app to pay. It took to much time and couldn’t am mend anything that we needed.

Had food here with my family before our flight. There was a load of little flies flying around, the barman was a helpful as a toaster in the bath. And the food ok at best and given the price we paid I’d of expected a little better service and better quality food I won’t eat or drink here again!!!!

Friendly helpful staff. Food lovely

Very fast service with courteous, friendly staff. Food was excellent, and good value for money.

Yemi was super kind and efficient in rendering her duty. Absolute pleasure to be served in Edinburgh Airport.

Yemi was very kind. Thank you YEMI!!

Great service, with a smile. Yemi is a credit to the bar

Wonderful service from Tiago. Made our wait at the airport bar a pleasure :)

Mena was a blast!! Lovely heart on top of the Guinness ans started the holiday right - even guessed what I do for a living!! True genius

♥️♥️♥️🙏 Something special and nice yemi

It was very wonderful and nice service. Thank you, Yemi

Yemi, thank you very much for your service and those beautiful smile. It really made my day. You are good at what you do

Yemi was a pleasent Server thanks

Such a poor breakfast. £43 for 1 bacon roll, 1 poached egg with avo on toast (toast was so soggy I couldn’t eat it), Bloody Mary the worst I’ve ever had. Simply vodka and tomato juice. No flavouring, spice, garnish. I did raise our disappointment but simply got more of the same.

An early start meant I was famished, so a bacon roll prepared by Alex was just the job! It arrived promptly and was very tasty. I was served by a cheerful, pleasant young woman. Not a bad start to my journey!

Very nice place. Yemi was very Kind.

Need to be able to order using cash and EFTPOS

Veeeeery unfriendly!!!!!! Never again... The “nice” man behind the counter (dyed blonde hair) snapped at us and ran away during the conversation!! Never again!

I give 5 stars for the service because of Shaun. He is the most caring staff in this restaurant.

Didnt have food, had a few drinks and the bar man Kenneth couldnt have been more chatty and helpful. Asking us about where we were flying too and giving us tips for when we are there. A man who truly loves his job! Thank you

Had 2 pints of Guiness while waiting for my friends to arrive. Everything was perfect and the staff was very professional

We (Mr & Mrs Smith) were welcomed by Kenneth who went the extra mile to get us the two full breakfasts we had been looking forward to after a long early morning drive to the airport (despite the fact that they were only serving breakfast rolls officially ;). Kenneth was a great front of house person… welcoming, friendly, effectively helpful and just the right of personal. Good start to our trip.

Yemi is a great and lovely waitress! I had a great experience at the Bridge & Castle.

Excellent service, delicious beer! Great experience before our flight at Edinburgh airport

Breakfast in lovely surroundings Excellent food Amazing friendly but professional staff Would certainly recommend Frances & Andy

Yemi was very friendly and helped us with our order and to get the food fast. Thanks!

Yemi Absolutely amazing service

Yeti is great give her a raise!!

Served by a lovley young lady Lemi

Very nice service, thanks to Yemi !!

Yemi is great, she deserves a lot of credit for the work she does!

Great service and a really nice full Scottish breakfast with the optional haggis.

Brilliant service from Kenneth, very polite and welcoming.

The waiter was really friendly and made sure we didn't miss anything. Great calm and relaxing atmosphere

Struggled to find the veggie option, staff very helpful, friendly and assistto order.

Perfect Yemi very dedicated and competent

Yemi was very prompt, kind, friendly and courteous! A great experience!

A pint served with a smile from Yemi made my travelling all the worth while. 😊

Nice place to eat and kill time before a flight. The music was a bit loud and not great though. Delicious chicken tikka though!!

Caesar salad was delicious with bacon and chicken very tender and light croutons. The latte a pleasant artistic finish to the meal. Menna being absolutely amazingly helpful . Highly recommend.

Menna is such a friendly and welcoming member of staff! She kept busy tidying tables inbetween serving customers. I'd definitely visit The Bridge and Castle again on my next visit to Edinburgh Airport! Thank you, Menna!

Menna served us very well, we had a nice conversation about our first time visit to Scotland! Thank you very much for that.

Nice place at Edinburgh airport

Morgan & Mena were very helpful and went above and beyond! smiling away as happy as can be which is enough to brighten up anyone’s day departing or arriving. Service was exceptional

Thanks for the lovely and quick service Shaun!

This is a good example of managers who decide to not pay for human waiters. As in any economy class they will teach you that humans are costs and who needs good service anyway when you can pocket the difference? This is an airport so not much choice anyway and they know it. Eat lunch at home before you fly.

Great service and a good breakfast!

Excellent restaurant, brilliant service from yemi

Yemi was very professional and polite

Verry, verry BAD Dont go here 🙈😱

Found a little green insect on food 30/08/24 which was still alive. Unfortunately noticed it at end of meal on a popadom. Husband pointed out to waiter and showed him. The waiter grudgingly apologised and said there wasn’t much he can do about it and after telling him we weren’t happy he said he would pass in to manager who would speak to us. No manager appeared. Poor service.

No many food options and nothing for gluten intolerance. But the staff is awesome, pleasant and very attentive

After a long flight we were looking forward to a nice meal before onward travel home. No menus, had to scan and order online, which said network error. Went to the bar to ask and it took a while for the only staff member to come across, he said online ordering wasn't working, so I asked for a menu. He then replied the kitchen was having a break! He was not friendly or communicative so we decided to abandon the place. The positive outcome is, I'm glad we didn't eat here having now read some of the reviews!

Outrageous, we asked for paper to clean our table after paying £83.33 on 10/7/23 at 6:48 p.m.!! Tbl46/1 Terrible service, cutlery thrown on the table, staff bordering on correction (cash register and service) except the young lady who wanted to listen to my remarks when we left. Flee this place, go next door.... Some 12 months later I notice that some comments are similar to mine.... Go elsewhere especially

Saturday and back home in Sweden! We just read a reply and thank you for refunding the money and it came into the account today. We ordered burgers and after 30 minutes I asked where the food was. It takes 45 minutes, I was then told. When I ordered and paid, no one said anything about this waiting time. We didn't have that time and when two girls at our table got their food I asked, again, where our food was. Now 40 minutes had passed. That lady was just rude. I went to the till and explained again that we would not have ordered if we had known about this waiting time. She then said they are paying back and she took my card and actually apologized. In the same vein, the food arrived and she apologized again and said the money would be returned. I haven't received them yet but it will take a while. We were in a hurry and just ate the hamburger itself, the meat. It was not nice to throw up the food. My burger was also burnt. No rating for the food as there are no minuses. It just feels sad... Imagine how easy it would be to have a sign showing that there is a long wait. Now that we've checked in, we have to find a better place.

The latte was very very very tasty! And the service was super nice! Thanks to Yemi <3

We went there for breakfast and the bar code on a table don't work. now we go to the bar and they said they don't do breakfast in 10 am on Friday. Take the menu down then don't waste our time

Initially had problems ordering using QR scanner as I wanted brown toast but it only listed white. A very helpful young lady called Yemi was able to assist me and managed to get me brown toast. She was a very pleasant young lady.

Terribly expensive and £17.99 for a tiny burger.....shocking.!!!!!!

Only bacon rolls on sale @ £7.49 each. Apparently it was out of their control that a full menu wasn't available. In my opinion the cost of the roll should have been reduced as good customer service. No pepper in the pot, no napkin with the roll & no spoon for the tea bag removal & to top it off no saucer for the coffee cup ! I can't recommend anything as only bacon rolls were available! £22.16 for two bacon rolls, one tea & one coffee !
