Holyrood 9A

A pleasantly cerebral pub-and-grub joint with chucklesome quotes from Voltaire and Alexander Pope adorning the walls and menu, Holyrood 9A reaches for similarly erudite standards in its food and drink offerings. A fantastic venue for trying out rare brews from all over the world, the pub has over twenty such nectars available from the pumps, as well as a hearty wine, spirit and cocktail selection. While the menu specialises in traditional stomach liners such as gourmet burgers and grilled sandwiches, there are also various lighter options (the halloumi salad and the sweet-chilli dipped salmon sticks are particular winners) worth getting your teeth into.
