The Sir Walter Scott - J D Wetherspoon in Edinburgh, City of

It was reasonable for a bar meal. Busy enough and full of tourists.

Great place to grab breakfast or lunch Friendly staff great service Good food for the cost

I recommend the wings, I chose the bbq. The pizza is also edible. The beer, too bad the selection of "local" beers is poor. Overall, a good waiting room. Prices, unfortunately, are an airport.

The most expensive Wetherspoons in Scotland

Everything you would expect from a wetherspoons. Wide range of drinks & food and good hours. Plenty of seating and efficient service. Much more expensive than your standard 'spoons but that is to be expected in an airport. Ordered using the app. Had the sticky Korean fried chicken bowl, it was pretty good.

It's your typical Wetherspoons pub. Usual grub and drinks are available. Either order at the bar or use your app on your phone for table service. Drinks and food here are at airport prices, although if you get coffee or tea, you can refill as much as you like. The server in our area was polite, prompt and well presented. She even came over a few minutes after the food was brought to our table and asked if everything was OK. Great service from this server.

This is a really good airport restaurant. Gave it a four compared to other restaurants, but it is a five when you compare it to other Airport restaurants. The menu is huge. The pizzas were awesome with really fresh ingredients, the Buffalo burger and the chicken sandwich were amazing. I’m estimating that 150 people could eat here. It’s very large. You order from the table and it seems like you can lawyer here for a while if you need to.

We tried their drinks Hawaiian cocktail Sombucha Must visit very good drinks are served. And at very good prices.

Serious fly infestation. Easily solved if you can be bothered dealing with it. Ruined our otherwise bang average meal and premium beer you chose to pour in a vase instead of branded glassware like the brewer intended.

The best time to see how good a company is is when something goes wrong. They have new coffee machines that were playing up, but the staff made a great effort to keep customers happy.

Extortionate prices, regardless of it being in the airport there is no way £6.20 for a portion of fruit, or a breakfast role for £6.50 is justified. Everything on the menu seems to have significantly increased since COVID. All Bar One around the corner is a better establishment, better food, similar price.

Very busy airport Weatherspoons. Prices are about the same as in the middle of Edinburgh. You can, however get a pint of Stella at 0700 with your full Scottish before you head off to sunny shores..

Refuses Scottish £50 Notes as too many "Fakes" . A Resturant / Bar in the Capital City of Scotland Refusing Legal Scottish Tender

Quick and a nice enough meal , great choices to suit everyone

What you would expect from a Weatherspoons, at double the price. Plenty of seating in the venue or externally, with quick service. Personally I think there are better options available in the airport.

The place to have a drink before flying out from Edinburgh Airport. As a Wetherspoons you know you are gonna get value for money.

Easy and tasty enough for airport food. Extensive menu

This place is committing crime against the entire burger kind. Dry and cold burger, sad bun, and the cheese looked like it was doing time for a crime it didn’t commit.

We only had drinks. Can be ordered online, delivered within minutes. You will always find a place, it is a really big space.

La relación entre la comida de adultos y la de niños es una locura. La familia pagó 3 libras extra: 80 por carne de res en los nachos y apenas se le fue ninguna No volveré aquí lo siento x

Expensive food for what it was, breakfast for 4 with coffee £56

Ideal for a quick drink before a Holiday Flight 😉

Just had a small veggie breakfast. Excellent value for Airport food, well-cooked, washed down with free coffee top-ups. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Well worth visiting.

Good average overpriced waiting staff never wipe a table while clearing them not acceptable

Visitó el Sir Walter Scott cuando volaba desde Edimburgo. Gran cola para entrar en un vuelo temprano, pero mucho espacio para sentarse. Nuestra orden llegó rápido. Protocolo Wetherspoons bastante estándar. Los precios eran astronómicos en comparación con sus Wetherspoons regulares.

Rápido, eficiente y todo a la altura - dada la ubicación del aeropuerto, no demasiado caro. Nunca antes había visto/oído hablar de un benedicto minero, pero el benedicto de huevos con pudín negro funcionó bien. La única gripe sería agua del grifo @ £ 2. 20 .

What happened to the good menu Wetherspoon use to have? Although burger it would be an alternative but choked when arrived to the table this mini burger with refried chips and onion rings . Been a customer for many years years but will never come back

Because it's at the airport it's horrendously expensive. The staff work hard though and are really friendly.

Very good price I recommend the buffalo burger

El desayuno completo café y OJ servido en excelente tiempo, calidad y servicio fue excelente incluso a £ 26 Muy recomendable y una necesidad

Excessive price. Food was ok, but took 15 minutes to find a table and 20 minutes to get food. This is not viable for airport. Needs someone to manage the table situation rather than allowing people to just walk about. A simple wait here to be seated system is really needed. Atmosphere is as expected, around 80% of the people just looking for a pint at 6am

Decent Wetherspoons. Quick service. Airport prices a bit of a sting.

Service was good,all good ordered on app. Staff were friendly and happy to help.

Servicio siempre rápido y amable en este 'Cucharas. Licenciado con algunos ales reales decentes, refrescos y bebidas calientes (recargables) disponibles. Menú lo suficientemente variado, hay algo para todos (a menos que seas celíaco, cuando la única opción GF disponible es a base de arroz, a menos que tengas una opción de desayuno sin tostadas). Pizza mejor relación calidad-precio que mi pasta Alfredo ayer, la pasta estaba deliciosa, pero los ‘4 rashers extra de arce - tocino curado’ se parecían a 2 , 1/2 rodajas. ¡Un poco flaco! Dicho esto, realmente no se puede superar ‘Cucharas por valor : - )

Este es un Wetherspoons estándar y fue como esperaba. En un aeropuerto la elección no siempre es buena y los precios de las plazas pueden ser un poco altos. Con cucharas sabes lo que vas a conseguir. Una pizza bastante decente que no sabía congelada y una pinta por un precio razonable en el aeropuerto. Barato y alegre.

Usual Wetherspoon, but with raised prices (due Airport location)! Food was ok and staff look very operative.

We have been here before a number of times, and it has been really very good/excellent. This visit (16th December 2024) was awful. I have never encountered a ruder staff member anywhere in my life and when I asked to speak to a manager I might as well not have bothered, I even doubt he was a manager!!! I ordered a pint of Corona, a pint of diet coke, and a pint of water. The coke glass was filled with so much ice you would have barely got a 1/2 pint of coke and when I asked for some ice to be taken out she just threw all the ice into a sink. I was given an empty glass for the water and told that the tap was at the end of the bar. I asked which end of the bar and she just screamed and pointed “that way”. Not a “Thankyou” anywhere in sight either!!! The manager eventually came over and was bullish and interrupted me as I spoke to him. His response “we are all under pressure and I’ll have a word with her”, no apology of any sort. If this is the standard of the staff they are now using I’d just avoid and go elsewhere

Ample seating for pre flight drinks and food.

Pedimos pasta Alfredo y cuando finalmente llegó, había estado sentado debajo de la lámpara durante mucho tiempo y se secó. ¡Medio tazón de horrible pasta salada! Por 11 libras. 35

La peor hamburguesa de búfalo de la historia. Apenas caliente, bollito barato, unas patatas fritas de horno apenas calientes y un trozo seco de pollo. La pizza pepperoni estaba casi desprovista de queso y el papel base delgado. Burger King la próxima vez.

problems filling a glass of beer... only foam came out... beer not cold, not fresh but at room temperature... undrinkable!!! I asked the barman he told me it should be drunk like this👎

Just ate there today paid €27 for 2 pastas the food was not even edible,

Terrible service, rude big guy behind the bar took my payment then barked at me when my choice of beer went off. No apology, no option ect an inferior beer. Didn't even acknowledge me plonked the pint on the bar.

Parece muy acogedor, pero no tuvo una experiencia maravillosa mientras estaba allí. La cerveza (IPA) se servía a temperatura ambiente, pero me explicaron que esa era una diferencia cultural con los Países Bajos. Lo acepto, aunque creo que la parte de temperatura ambiente en el tanque y la temperatura de servicio deberían ser cosas separadas. Lo más extraño fue la percepción de dos cervezas belgas paradas en el mostrador durante veinte minutos que luego se rellenaron para servir a los huéspedes. Esto es para ser honesto bastante asqueroso y no una manera aceptable de tratar una Stella Artois normalmente deliciosa. El personal era bastante agradable, pero la recarga de tazas parecía bastante normalizado incluso con el gerente.

No hay nada especial en esto Wetherspoons. No tiene un menú normal: no hizo halloumi, cántaro de lluvia morado, curry normal que es un shock. Estoy seguro de que hay una razón para esto, pero no exactamente genial tener uno de sus restaurantes con menú limitado. La mujer de la parte exterior de la zona de estar era miserable. No sonrió, no habló, simplemente no parecía que quisiera estar allí. No es exactamente lo que quieres ver al comenzar tus vacaciones. Los precios son extremadamente altos y para las porciones pobres que obtiene - no vale la pena en absoluto. ¡El pan de ajo con queso era decente! En general, sería muy recomendable para Wetherspoon realmente cuidar de su personal y elevar su moral en este restaurante

Place to go when you're about to fly

Good choice of drinks plenty of places to sit not stupidly priced like airport places can be!

Freya was our server and she was absolutely amazing. One of our children wanted to exchange the food and she made it possible in no time. Thank you very much Freya! You made the best start to our holiday and one boy very very happy. Gracia was her manager and she confirmed how amazing Freya was!!!! Thank you! Xxx

Pricey, limited menu, but airport and expected.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my disappointment with the service I received at your Wetherspoons branch in Edinburgh Airport on .09/10/24. I ordered a pizza, but when it was served, I found it was unsliced. I politely asked a member of your serving staff to slice it for me, but I was surprised to be informed that there would be a £1 charge for slicing the pizza. I cannot believe it’s even something someone has to ask for when ordering a pizza!? To add to my concern, the staff member insisted that this charge must be paid in cash, and card payments were not accepted for this particular request. This seemed highly irregular, especially in an environment where card payments are typically encouraged, particularly at an airport. I found the situation both frustrating and unprofessional, as I would expect such a basic request to be part of the service, especially in a restaurant. Furthermore, the insistence on cash payment raises concerns regarding the legitimacy of this charge. I would appreciate it if you could investigate this matter and provide clarification on your policy regarding food service and charges. I trust that you will take this issue seriously, as it does not reflect well on the high standards Wetherspoons is known for. I look forward to hearing from you.

8 beer handpumps but only 3 working giving a very limited choice of beers. Very poor

Fine for a drink before your flight.

The staff couldn't be more unmotivated. The table we sat at was dirty. We asked an employee, of whom there were more than enough, to clean the table, without answering she carelessly cleaned the table and left out the sticky spots. You still have to be grateful to be able to order. The food also waits under the heat lamp for 10 minutes until someone feels like bringing it to the table. Food was ok

Beans on toast .. inedible. Couldn’t even eat them and sent them back. No refund. Food quality terrible and poor service.

4am start, queue from one side of seating area to the other but staff got through it quickly, food was ok, not the best but enough to see us through to getting on holiday. Place was jumping at 4am, long day for the staff, the do a good job, treat them well.

Was great to get breakfast before flight. I only had the toast.

Truly awful. Stowed out because staff there never ask those who occupy tables while waiting for their flights, to move on and let someone else have a chance. And their prices are extortionate when compared with what they serve up

Grabbed a quick pre-boarding cuppa. It's always sad when you're given an empty mug and have to go make your own brew! They boast free unlimited refills, but realistically who wants a full bladder before a flight when you have to disrupt two strangers next to you every time you need the loo.

Excellent service within Edinburgh airport while I was waiting for my flight back to Stansted Airport earlier today thanks

So here i am setting off on holiday, stopped here for food and drink. I ordered a pizza for g/f and a burger for myself. It came within 10 minutes. Pizza looked ok, i seen the burger coming from 20 yards away , i said food is coming, burger looks crap. I was right. Pathetic excuse for a burger. 2 dry burgers, very very little salad. I will not be back here to order food !!!! My advice ----- if you want a burger here go to burger king , at least you know what to expect !!! POP. pissed off passenger

Fast & friendly service in here, it does get quite busy. 👍

1 person taking orders & serving drinks & just served customers in a random order....waited 15 minutes to be served as he served at least 4 or 5 people who arrived after myself & the man next to me. Even when I asked politely if we could be served as we had arrived before the others I got ignored & he carried on serving others who had arrived later

Cheap for an airport and fast - prices are cheaper than other options at the airport - food is very tasty (I had a Ramon noodle 🍜) - service was very fast - toilet available

Still a good Wetherspoon but so expensive ! Bloody airports!

The food is overpriced and not good. The only positive thing I can say is that the waitress helped us nicely when our order didn't go through the app. The fact that the order didn't even go through is of course also rather negative. I think we got to the worst restaurant in the airport

Cold food ! OLD 😡😡 They bring very cold and very old food ( heated in the microwave )

Food was decent although even by airport standards it was extortionate. Scary thing is this is meant to be the cheapest restaurant at he airport. Restaurant itself was like a cattle market and far too hot, quite an uncomfortable environment and not one to relax before your holiday, especially when you have spent all your spending money here before you have even flown out because of the prices. Staff were decent and service really quick, I don't envy them working here every day.

Don’t waste your money here on the food. Tastes like as if they purchased it straight from the ready to eat section from grocery store and reheated it. We ordered chicken tikka curry and the katsu grilled chicken.

Mi primera hamburguesa sin aderezo. Sólo pan, carne, un poco de ensalada y una rodaja de tomate. Eso es todo. Seco... Tal vez sea mejor parar a tomar unas copas (al menos no están secas)

Got some drinks and bites to fill a hole wasn't to bad apart from the Nachos don't bother you might as well get a packet of crisps its a shocking bowl have a look at the pictures

Buen lugar para comida barata antes del vuelo. El personal era amable y resolvió un pequeño problema con el orden. Las patatas fritas eran preciosas, los niños disfrutaban de pepitas. El vino era agradable y en general familiar.

Sad burger. Dry doughy pizza. Would have chosen Burger King instead.

I enjoyed it for what it was, a Airport Wetherspoons. Much higher prices, but it was still the cheapest and best place to be before boarding our plane. Service was pleasant enough and fast. The atmosphere amazingly good considering your only squeezed in a small unit at a busy Airport . Food looked fine.

Not too bad!! Coffee comes from the self service automated machines, which isn't great as you can imagine. The porridge and fruit was very very good. 😀

The staff on duty today 19th of July were unhelpful. I have never been compelled to drop a bad review till I ate there. No one wanted to help with enquiries until I choose a very bad meal. I am gutted

Don't eat here...Woeful food with charming descriptions, stone cold after a half hour wait...on the plus side the beer is decent

Excellent service in this Wetherspoons today. Really quick delivery of our food and drink and staff were attentive and polite.

Pretty good spicy ramen! Affordable for airport food and chill space to hang out during a delayed flight.

Rude staff, dirty tables, served a bottle of water without a glass and was ignored when I asked for one.

Very nice and well run pub. Quick and lovely food, would go there every time

The worst experience ever. DO NOT GO THERE. I arrived at 9pm at this pub intending to have dinner as my flight was delayed for + 2 hours. I was sat there for 20 minutes, no one came. When I tried to order food they told me I had to use a QR CODE instead or registering my order. After 10 minutes trying to make it work and they told me the kitchen was closed. CONCLUSION: THEY JUST WANTED ME TO GO AWAY AND NOT SERVE ME FOOD. WHAT DOES A SERVICE AT THE AIRPORT DEPARTURING GATE SERVE FOR IF NOT TO FEED CUSTOMERS. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!

Just had one of the worst fish and chips I have ever had in the UK here. And I paid £16 for the (dis)pleasure.

En route to Berlin, this was a quick stop to grab some breakfast. We managed to find a table (with an element of luck). We ordered three small breakfasts and some hot drinks - no delay with the service, the food was cooked fine and the free refills on the hot drinks were good value for money. It was exciting to be part of the atmosphere pre-Euro 2024, as there were a lot of us Germany bound for the first game!

Crazy French man serves me but he is cool 😎 lol

We came, sat down, and ordered drinks, but they were incredibly slow. The waitress came to our table several times, asking us to leave as instructed by the manager, even though our drinks were supposedly on the way. I explained this to her, yet five minutes later, we were still waiting for our drinks, and she continued to ask us to leave. This was beyond rude and unprofessional. I then asked for a refund, but they finally brought a drink after that. The staff was extremely rude, and the service was the worst I've ever experienced. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

I had the bacon cob with haggis and I have to say that it was delicious. Although the prices were quite expensive, seems to be around the same price as other close by restaurants so please don’t go to sound thinking you’ll get a cheap meal!

Virtually no service, employees unmotivated and unfriendly, tbh I don't know what so many people actually have to do here? No orders are taken at the table, only food is delivered after ordering at the bar or via the app. The food is outrageously expensive and the portions are tiny. The only positive thing is the beer, but that can only wash down the bitter aftertaste to a limited extent.

Honestly, one of the worst airport restaurants on the globe. It's dirty, the staff are rude and on their phones. They overcharge for garbage product. Save your money and walk a away to somewhere else. You will have a better experience steps away at burgerking then this horrible place.

Pizza --> underbaked Chips --> Crispy from the outside but raw from the inside... disgusting 🤮 Chicken wings --> overfried Overall --> Never again.

Lunch before my holiday. Staff were happy to clean the table for us. Food was okay and came really quickly. Leah on the bar was lovely !

Came here about 0900 for a breakfast, went for the small breakfast and glass of orange juice. £9.60 for the small breakfast (paid extra £2.20 for black pudding as that was not included) £2.20 for a glass of orange juice. Price are expected to be a bit more as it’s the airport. Was not busy and was served within 10 minutes to my table after ordering at the table. Staff seem friendly enough. Large area for seating, expect it can get really busy here

Did come for a glass of wine and nibble before flight. My teenager son wanted a Burger King and I wanted company having wine. He was asked to leave. He was about to finish his burger. Politely has left but I won’t be back again. It is not we took place without ordering anything. Just poor management.

Actually horrible. The chicken burger was almost inedible. I wish I would have just gone to Pret.

Very friendly restaurant even when very busy

Typical airport prices! Had a small breakfast here, the food was very tasty but could have been a lot warmer!

If you get an item with more than one component, there’s a good chance the “chef” will forget at least one or two while he’s microwaving it up.

I was served by 2 very pleasant ladies at the bar. The outstanding member of staff was the chap who brought my food. His approach to service was leagues ahead of what you normal get on the UK. He was American and treated me like I was royalty. He was extremely polite and puts to shame the normal standard of service you get on the UK.

Worst food ever. The burger was the size of a kids burger and the taste was horrible. Don’t go here for food.

We had breakfast as a couple here. Typical airport prices - expensive. Service was fast and friendly. Breakfast was really tasty but could have been warmer.

Always very busy at the Airport. Staff good consistent food and coffee.
