I became a "regular" at Oink during my first visit to Edinburgh for the Fringe this summer, and I found the customer service friendly and efficient at every visit. As an American who is very familiar with Southern-style pulled pork sandwiches, I have to say that your version is without a doubt the best I have ever had. I will be consuming mass quantities of Oink sandwiches when I return to the Fringe next summer! Dear Adam & Sandy,

You can get a cold one for £2.30, but it's yesterday pig, and has loads of fat on it. Also, the last time I went in there, the woman who runs the place was really rude to me, for literally no reason at all. Even the other girl who works there was uncomfortable with it. So I won't be going back now unfortunately. It doesn't take much effort to be pleasant; it actually takes effort to be rude. Shame. I'll stick to 'Hula' down the road now - tastier, and healthier too. Pretty tasty, but pretty expensive too - it’s up to £4.60 now, and was way cheaper when it opened.

It's the most delicious sandwich I have ever had, and personally I think that the crackling is essential and no other topping is needed. The meat is beautifully seasoned and aromatic and the crackling gives it essential crunch. I’ve had the hog roast roll from Oink’s van at the Castle Terrace farmers’ market.

I actually like the cracklings quite a bit, although I agree that they can be somewhat hard to get through. I love restaurants that do one thing and do it very well. This place is great.
