Cuddie Brae - Pub & Grill in Edinburgh, City of

Lunchtime menu was well priced with a good variety of options. Staff were friendly and helpful.

To the lady who said she arrived after a long haul flight and was told to leave with kids at 9 the reason you were treated in such away is because you have to be friends with the managers up stairs to be welcome they will happily welcome drug users as they are friends and sit drinking with them or party with them unfortunately it’s been that way many years and will never change

Not impressed at all. Came of a longhaul flight and met my relatives here at premier inn and went to the pub. As soon as i walked in at 8.15 they said no food is serving. No hi or anything. Advised dont want food just a quick soft drink. Thet first said last order is at 10. We sat in corner far from everyone as they made us feel awkward. They then said last order at 9.30pm. We only been here 10 minutes. Then a male worker came and said all kids need be out by 9! When we left at 9. There was another family still there with children and no where near looking to finish so felt really disappointed and discriminated against with the family. So will not be going for bfast or again here as do not give my services to people who are rude and disengaging and never felt like that before

We went for Christmas dinner which had been reordered a few wee prior to Christmas. The lunch was not described as in the menu, pig in blanket and cranberry sauce were missing. Was a bit cold and felt like a meal at a beefeater (mass produced and precooked items). Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Didn't seem very good value for money, would have expected higher standards considering the price.

We were quite disappointed with our visit this year compared to last Christmas. The quality of food was considerably poorer. Charged for pan fried mushrooms that I ordered but never received. Rump steak was very chewy and sinuey. Brown lettuce in the prawn cocktail with sliced sandwich bread from a bag. Seating was hard with a rocking unsteady table. Vegetables with Turkey dinner were not fresh and gravy and stuffing were from a packet. We were not expecting 5 star but we expected more than the equivalent of a frozen TV dinner. Staff however were very helpful.

Absolutely great atmosphere and couldn't ask for a better service from staff ..... food was piping hot and fresh 😋

Just has Christmas meal today. Top marks for presentation. Food was superb as was the very attentive staff. Would definitely recommend. Well worth a visit.

Four of us had a great meal here today food was delicious and our waitress Vonnie was lovely ,nothing was to much trouble, you can tell she enjoys her job she's a star 🌟

We had our McIntyre family Xmas Lunch were allocated an area where we were all (20) seated together Amy and the other staff were excellent nothing was too much bother, I would certainly recommend.

Thanks to Natalie, Helen and all the amazing staff and chefs. Festive menu for 30 people. Food and atmosphere was terrific. Table and chairs beautifully set. Looking forward to next year. Thanks a million xxx

We had a pre Christmas dinner for 15 of the family as we can't all be together on Christmas day. It was on Saturday 14th December, everyone really enjoyed our day. Food and staff were excellent.

food was decent as was the the look of the pub itself, and the prices, but the main barman was both rude, and very slow (the ladies bringing out the food were lovely though), so a bit of a mixed experience

We were staying at the Premier Inn next door and used the Cuddie as our meeting point before heading into Edinburgh. Also for a night cap on our return. Staff were friendly and helpful and the range of drinks excellent

Booked a table prior to attending an event nearby. Seated and served quickly. Restaurant was busy but didn't have a long wait for courses to be brought out and staff were very attentive. Food was lovely, had a few bad experiences with similar chain pubs but would definitely return here.

I love the Cuddiebrae, it's staff are so friendly and accommodating! It has an amazing atmosphere and the food first class favourite the steak pie!! Well recommended 👌

Food not the best, full breakfast - grilled Lorne sausage was dry, tattie scone was soaked in oil, barely a spoonful of baked beans, haggis was stodgy and scrambled egg was tasteless. Spent a fortune on family breakfast before my son went back home and was sorely disappointed.

Great food very helpful friendly staff really xmassy with trees and decorations up been loads of times deff recommend 👌

We were sat next to the Christmas tree which was very festive. We were served really quickly and our server was very friendly. We ordered the vegetarian Sunday roast; mushroom, Stilton and spinach, which came with roast potatoes, veggies & a huge Yorkshire pudding, we also ordered a side of cauliflower cheese - it came quickly and tasted amazing; delicious and filling and the gravy topped it off nicely. We always enjoy the food here, good vegetarian choices, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

I went here for breakfast with my daughter and grandson. I had the scottish breakfast. My daughter had eggs benedict, and my one and half Yr old grandson had pancakes 🥞 😋. It was all lovely 😍 I ate quite a bit of it, which is unusual for me,bit I just couldn't stop eating it(although they do put tattie scones on the plate which I don't like,just give me toast with butter I'll be happy) anyway I would definitely recommend Cuddie Brae for breakfast,I've not been for lunch or dinner yet so I can't comment,but if they are as nice as the breakfast then great. 😀

Very friendly staff, quick service, good food

Very nice place, food was nice.

Its a nice place and the staff are great 👍

Really good meal for a chain pub. Staff are great. Friendly and very helpful.

A great menu with lovely staff.

Great local, great staff, great food, great prices

One of the servers was sneezing - a lot! Hope they washed their hands before bringing food out to customers. Breakfast food was good though and plenty of choice on the menu and the prices were reasonable.

Friendly host explains everything well and clearly. Food is delicious would definitely recommend! I'll definitely go back.

We arrived and hadn't booked it was REALLY BUSY. Staff cleared a table and we were seated quickly. Drinks served swiftly. Great food and great prices. We will return but we will book prior.

First time in no places for hot food long time being served at bar won’t be back

Keep removing the true reviews about the managers drug using friends it will keep getting put back up I know of at least 2 still in most weekends at the clique table but the ones that weren’t there friends all got barred that’s just tells you everything you need to know

Nice meal, decent pub grub, plenty of choice.

Dig friendly 👌 just a nice place to go eat and enjoy, staff ard lovely to .

Apparently you can’t have a good night with a friends had about 4 pints and then my friends wife tipped up and then cut off apparently had to much to drink after 4 pints and the ladies had one drink totally destroyed by the way I was treated and being a veteran with a leg missing through war defending this country am sorry I may walk funny and to some people they may think am drunk and it’s a drivers me crazy I would like to see these jobs worths do the job I did but that’s the that’s you get STAY AWAY FEOM THE PLACE

No point goin to this place .. I have had more bad experiences here than good. You think if you give it time things will change they don't. Don't go there on a sun at 10.45 because they areaking up there tables for 12 oclock and you need to make a booking for breakfast. Have you heard anything like this??

Good atmosphere, good service and good food. No need to say anything else 👍

Having not visited in a while due to illness it took me by surprise that some of the staff had changed. Waiting for my son to arrive my anxiety got the better of me, however leanne calmed me down and seated me in a quieter part of the restaurant checking on me from time to time. My son arrived as did a very tasty pink gin - medicinal of course!! As always our food was delicious as was the drinks from the bar. I am loving the new food and drink deals on offer too. Special thanks definitely goes to Kayden and leanne for looking after us, nothing was too much bother and kaydens cheery smile brightened up our day. He really is a credit so don't hide him away in the dungeon 😋 He is amazingly friendly and lovely to chat to!

Lovely place with an amazing menu. Something for every member of the family.

Nathan was a great waiter I loved beer he brought me He was attentive and gave us time

The waiter was lovely from outer hebrides .. then there was the other unhappy looking guy , what can I say but came over and gave us the you need to turn noise down we where loud for 2 seconds .. lied about people being upstairs ? . Slight sour taste on a other wise good night .. but there us always one

Excellent service and great food at good prices ty for a good night

Great atmosphere, high customer service and delicious food.

I went in to get a full English breakfast not very filling at all you could count the beans they give you 1 small tiny pease of tost. No tomatoes. No black pudding.

The new £20 meal menu was brilliant. Rump steak and fish & chips were both really good. The food here is a level above most other eateries associated with the premier inns, such as a Toby carvery. Very impressed. Also, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again with work if I'm in the area

Lesley was able to fit me in last minute on my birthday! The staff was lovely, the food was INCREDIBLE, and Lesley was able to put a spin on an Old Fashioned for me despite not having all the ingredients. I can't recommend this place enough. I had the T-Bone, and the folks next to me got the Roast (looked like it was sculpted for an advert! You simply cannot go wrong at Cuddie Brae!

Nice breakfast served by lovely staff,

The first time I have been, it was lovely. Staff lovely, quick service and lovely food. What a fantastic choice on menu and reasonably priced.

Lovely atmosphere Great selection/choice on menu Staff were attentive Food freshly made and decent portions Very happy Plus dogs are allowed

Food was delicious.. Service out standing and friendly

Great service and fantastic food.

The food and service is always fantastic. I've never had a bad meal from them yet

Good pub grub. Prices average. Nothing special though.

Customer service here was done properly. The staff were lovely and served us well all night. The food was nice for us all, personally I had the burger which was good. The onion rings on the side seem pointless. However, only getting 2 and they were very soggy, as the only criticism. The coleslaw was a memorable highlight as it was very tasty, which is usually a suprise for when it comes to pubs. We always stay at the premier inn next door and this is a reliable place where we go every year. I cannot wait to revisit next year.

We stopped off for breakfast before heading into Edinburgh. I had a wonderful Scottish breakfast and particularly enjoyed the haggis and potato scone. I would recommend the Cuddie Brae for breakfast.

Great pub for food, must book a table as they are very busy. Service was excellent from our waitress. All the dishes were fantastic full of flavour and good prices. I even asked to try some haggis which they provided as part of my sides which was nice.

Very clean and staff were welcoming. Food was good. Easy location.

Brilliant food and service will definitely go back

Just went for a quick dinner on our way home but was surprised how quick we were served waitress was very good and friendly food was good

Absolutely disgusted with the full experience, firstly crammed into a seat with a shelf running along the side, which I hit my shoulder off, the starter of Nachos, well less said the better, then my steak which was supposed to be rare to medium was cooked through, it was sent back and a replacement hadn’t been issued by the time the rest of the party had finished their mains. The manageress asked if she could do anything to make up for it, so we all had a free dessert, I chose the cappuccino and traybake, it arrived on a massive plate and the raspberry and white chocolate blondie was about the size of a 50 pence piece. So cardboard Nachos, no steak and a miniature cake was my experience, needless to say I won’t be back !!!

The Sunday roast was awful nothing like what was advertised. The roast beef was covered in blood and grave.had to send it back as I can't stand blood in my food ..they then give me turkey .roast potatoes where burnt .2 small pieces of broccoli and carrot where cold . .never again couldn't eat it .

Very nice Sunday roast 4 very good meals and discount for Blue Light Card 👍😋

A pleasant enough visit, staff were clearly over ran but friendly and helpful when available, food was okay, probably wouldn't go back. A shame because a good location and plenty of parking.

We came here just for a wee drink and something to eat for our son,we where put in a little bit by ourselves and it was brilliant our wee boy could run about without annoying others and he absolutely loved flirting with the staff that was on. He enjoyed his fish fingers chips and corn on the cob,I enjoyed the soup and the husband had the cheesy bacon fries,needless to say we will be back,the staff here are amazing as is the service and food.

Only went in to get drinks 🍸 nice place people were very nice 👌

Friendly staff. Lovely food Couldn't fault it

Had a great burger, wife had the ciabiatti both very tasty. Service first class thanks.

First and last time service wasn't good waiter had attitude when asked a question bill delivered before we asked wont be back steak pie bland peas and chips cold

We visited for a birthday celebration and had prebooked due to being a group of 7 people! Warm welcome from the host who seated us promptly! Great service from every member of the team we met, with regular check backs to ensure food and drinks were good! Food was fantastic and tasted delicious! We will definitely be back in the future!

Exceptional service got there twenty minutes early was shown to table straight away. Food was outstanding. Leeanne our waitress was very helpful and talked through the menu. Definitely going back.

Nothing particularly wrong with this place but nothing particularly great either. Seated at table and forgotten about. My aperol spritz tasted like water. And my onion omission request was ignored. I probably wouldn’t go back.

Was a great place for lunch staff freindly nice place overall

Very helpful and friendly staff. Good atmosphere and clean.

After booking a table was given the worse table in the place poor choice of menu horrible meat

The atmosphere was a fun yet calm place to watch a futbol game. Families, young singles, and probably long-time regulars all came and stayed for a while. It’s a place where all sorts of folks find a place for themselves. The menu is diverse; the calorie count helped us all make better choices; everyone was pleased.

We had a lovely dinner here. I had the double burger, which is reasonable money wise and was delicious. Very nicely cooked abd presented. Fries were hot, which is a miracle these days. The service was excellent. My husband had the fish and chips, which he was lovely. Very happy party. Nicely done guys.

Had a really good pub meal for 2 of us . Staff were lovely and Denise was super

Nice Greeneking pub, we had Sunday lunch and it was ok. £16.99 so a bit over priced and the coke was flat. But I wouldn't let this put me off going again.

Great stop off point in Edinburgh just off A1. Food is excellent and very well presented. Nice traditional pub atmosphere. Good menu and prices in '24 are sustainable.

Wouldn’t go back ordered fish and chips and peas fish was half a fish burnt dry and a funny colour peas were like dry bullets waited over 40 mins for drink then over hour for food which was disgusting wouldn’t go back place has went right downhill

Lovley staff, nice breakfast and dog friendly 👌 🙂

Absolutely incredible food & staff ! Was served by the lovely Phoenix who was a delight from start to finish and especially lovely and accommodating to our little boy! Would 110% recommend and return x

Beautiful place to have a fab lunch with family. Food was outstanding and staff are amazing 👏

We have been here very often for breakfast. I would always recommend it.

We've been a couple of times and it's been great but our visit last night was very disappointing and there was big lack of food still available to order, also the lack of understanding of our dietary requirements we should've been able to order food without the side sauces(which contained milk) but they weren't very accommodating at all

We had such an amazing afternoon! Thank you. The food was great, would go back anytime. People were friendly.

Went with a work group that ordered everything ahead of time. Still waited 45m. But the food was delicious and worth the wait! The hostesses were extremely helpful and polite.

Love this place was will definitely be back

Lovely place to eat steaks amazing staff very helpful and not too expensive

3 out of 4 main courses should never have been brought to the table. Chicken was inedible in 2 dishes and the steak panini was tough and fatty.

A lovely relaxed place for dinner. Staff were very friendly and allergy aware.

Toilets are dated needing improvement

Recently stayed at the Premier Inn, regular,y ate at Cuddy Brae. Good food selection, and very attentive and pleasant staf thoroughly enjoyed the experience ce. Specia,,y commend Lesley Denise, Alistair a d Charlie

Easter sunday roast was sparce and so disappointed. We got 2 small slithers of roast beef, chunks of soggy roast potatoes, 1 small bit of broccoli, overcooked soggy carrots and a hard over done Yorkshire pudding. Won't hurry back 😕😕😕

Absolutely the worse meals we have had in a long time. We booked a table for three at 3:30 ordered 3 roast dinners one GF. The trio I had beef, turkey and pork stacked on top of each other, very very thin gravy. Could not identify what meat was what. Roast pots were very dry. Veg cold, broccoli uncooked. So not good. It was for my mother in law.

Yvonne was very pleasant. Service with a smile. Thank you

Cool little pub, with good atmosphere, service was quick even though it was very busy. Staff friendly and pleasant, well done guys.

Great place to eat. Good food and staff polite and efficient.

Meal was delicious and not overpriced. Service was very good and staff friendly

Called in for Sunday lunch and had a very enjoyable meal, the staff were all attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend the pub.

Food was excellent and staff were friendly, only gripe is the place could do with a refresh as its starting to look tired inside.

I take last Saturday some Family coming from abroad. use to be a lovely food pub but I can confirm in my second visit I found a preheat food not fresh food how use to be before. The service fantastic like always the place is nice but need to improve the food how use to be in the past, use to be a big a nice portion and fresh food. In my few last visit for breakfast and dinner i found cold food and not fresh at all. My husband burger was cold and chips was cold and not fresh chips in comparation with the other plates. very disappointed we use to go very often because is closed to our house but let us down on food quality in the last few visit. And also want to order chicken fajitas and on Saturday night run out of this plate but we didn't know until I order not one advice you before give you the menu, so need to hurry and order beef sandwich tasty but wasn't thing pieces of beef how told to us .
