Pork with haggis and chili relish on a brown roll; it was heaven on a bun. The staff were friendly, the place was clean and they clearly care about their food. I would travel back to Edinburgh just to eat there again! We walked past OINK last Saturday at lunchtime and stopped in for a sandwich.

I doubt he has ever even been to Oink, I certainly have been to Oink many times and I have never ever experienced what he claims to have. You will not find a better place in terms of customer service, and as for the food. Its PORKTASTIC. I once went to a farm in the borders with my pal Douglas and I tasted organically hand reared pork done on a spit and it was comparible to Oink. Oink off Brian. xx I DISAGREE, I DISAGREE with Brian Johnsons comments above thats what I disagree with.

Poor quality of food, poor service. I won't be going back. I disagree, i think the ‘customer service’ is rubbish and that adam and sandy are talking rubbish. Poor quality of food, poor service.

We planned our day, including meals, OINK was the only place we considered for lunch after reading about it in a Sunday paper (The Times, I think). We're due to have a return trip at Easter and can't wait to taste the most delicious Roast Pork sandwich to grace the plant. Everyone should try it on a visit.

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.
