"The perfect stopover! I commute across the M4 frequently, and was forever fed up with the noisy services at Membury and Chieveley. Just 5-8 minutes from Junction 13, I can guarantee it's an infinitely, nicer, quieter and more tasty stopover! The staff are absolutely delightful, (as well as being situated in the beautiful village of Yattendon, if you fancy a walk around), deliciously well made coffee, cakes, sandwiches and cooked breakfasts, and plenty of easy parking. It's also dog friendly, vegan and gluten free friendly, and provides all alternative milks. Highly recommend!!!"

"The sandwich cookie delights of Cutter Squidge are a right showstopper. Heads were turned. I was glad I gave it a go and it was tasty enough, but at £3.90 it’s a little outrageously priced. I went with the raspberry s’more which features a vanilla cookie (or should that be two? , raspberry and marshmallow. And everything tastes great. The marshmallow is homemade and a pillowy fluffiness. The touch of toasting brings out the royal marshmallow flavour. The raspberry cream is tasty without being overpowering and the vanilla cookie holds up well enough. So no real complaints other than the price. I liked it enough but not enough to want to buy another in a hurry. The cakes looked awesome, so that’s probably my go to for a return visit."

"I went last night with my other half to his birthday and my newly diagnosed gf/df 9 yr old. oh my word, how nice to eat everything on the menu without worrying! probably best menu I have seen that allergens show. schirr for gf, df, paleo, vegan and children menu also, no complicated tabal calculations here (I look at them cafe rouge! eating was excellent, we shared garnel with smoked garlauch mayo to start, steak and poussin for net and mini-Rindburger and chickenburger for my daughter with sweet potatoes. the free filtered on-site stanch or foam water, the organic prosecco, which gave me no headaches, and the alcohol-free drinks without added sugar, sweeteners, preservatives or other additives. my daughter would put sugar on the ground if she could, but she loved her, and my partner was very pleased with the ice-cream glasses; one of his bugbears are bars/restaurants that serve cold drinks in warm glasses. for dessert were the vegan 'cheese cake' from this world, can not wait to taste all the aromen amazing food, friendly staff, beautiful decor. would recommend a visit whether they have special nutritional needs or not."

"Went for a late lunch on Saturday so was happy that they were still serving lunch at 3pm. Very welcoming staff and atmosphere, with classical music in the background. Place was clean but, although it wasn't busy, I was surprised that staff were not wearing masks. Main dishes were at £13.95 and the portions were of reasonable size, big enough I took half home with me. I had the mushroom stew with pasta and sour cream on the side, the dish was very tasty, even the pasta I normally don't order pasta when eating out as it's so easy to make at home. Would highly recommend and would go back when I get the chance."

"Centrally located and easy to find the small cafe was a delight. It's in the non busy side street which makes it more like a relaxed place to enjoy your breakfast. The cafe was modestly designed and has a home like feeling. Small space well utilized. If You are lucky you might get the comfort corner in the Edinburgh Larder near the window. Again the staff was friendly and it felt like home talking to them. (I must admit staff everywhere we went in Edinburgh was friendly shopping malls, restaurants, cafe's, hotel). We ordered sausage roll in brown bread with fresh juice and cappuccino. Our order was simple and had no complex culinary skill's to do, it was as I expected. Service was quick and it didn't take me long to devour the whole thing. Price which I feel is the most important thing was right up my street. Inexpensive breakfast good ambiance good rating I do recommend this cafe. Plus, I'd recommend you to be more adventurous with your breakfast and go for a full Scottish breakkie."

"November 7, 2011 Halloween bonfire night are traditionally associated with being a whole lot of fun for kids. For me, however, it’s the perfect excuse for some food indulgence (like I need an excuse… Although I have been known to dress up in some weird and wonderful costumes and go out on the hunt for sweeties, this year my Halloween was a much more grown up affair as I celebrated Dia De Los Muertos with my good friend Sarah at Birmingham’s own little slice of South America, Bodega . Their event included a pop-up shop, a special cocktail and a healthy dose of delicious food. Whenever I frequent Bodega (and it happens a lot it takes me an age to decide what to eat. Do I play it safe with a tried and tested Burrito or do I dare try something new? This time, however, greed got the better of both of us, as we opted for the Bodega Selection platter with a selection of some of their best dishes, like Pork Carnitas Tacos, Patatas Bravas, Frijoles, Nachos, Albondigas Cubanas and Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas. Plus we got a side of sweet potato fries! I tucked into the Albondigas Cubanas first of all, tender and juicy beef meatballs in a deliciously rich red wine and tomato sauce, which were a flavour explosion in the mouth. Definitely gives Italian meatballs a run for their money! The patatas bravas in the same sauce were equally as impressive. Next up I tucked into the quesadillas which had the tiniest hint of spice, delicious flavour and stayed crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Just the right amount of cheese complimented the chicken and made the quesadillas surprisingly light. The nachos were a surefire winner, smothered in tomato salsa, fresh guacamole and sour cream topped with melted cheese. You can’t go wrong with that combination and these were definitely right. The Pork Carnitas Tacos were also really good, with succulent, spicy shredded pork in a soft shell taco. The biggest surprise for me though, were the Frijoles. Call me uncultured, but on paper"

"The QCH was recommended to me by a friend so I went ahead and booked. To be honest, I’m not sure why they recommended it and I will struggle to recommend it to others at the moment. I might have to have another visit then decide. The menu changes daily and whilst the one on the day wasn’t what I’d expected for a chop house, it certainly had some items you’d expect, plus some you wouldn’t. Neither myself or my dining partner were up for a 400g chop (or 800g bone in steak), nor the 40 60 min wait that came with them so we opted for “Yorkshire game, trimmings Pheasant £28 Mallard £34”. I opted for pheasant whilst my friend chose the duck. The menu was short on the description of them so we asked the waitress if they came with something. What she described sounded good, although she did say there were 3 sides with the dish, which seemed a bit much but we went with it. We didn’t order starters, which was a good decision. We consumed some tasty red wine whilst catching up on what has been going on in our lives so I’m really not sure how long our mains took to arrive but they looked slightly odd when they did. Presentation was unpretentious but also a bit confused. The pheasant (or Duck) were simply laid on the plate, another 1/3 was occupied by a jam like substance (can’t remember what it was nor what it tasted of), and the other 1/3 was occupied by something else I can’t remember! On the side was a watercress and onion salad, what looked like a mini shepherd’s pie (served in a mini saucepan), and a plate of warm bread sauce with salty crisps to dip in them. I have to say the little mini pie (it wasn’t a shepherd’s pie) was good, as was the bread sauce. The main plate of food was underwhelming though. I don’t think it helped that the steak knives we had were blunt well I hope they were but the pheasant was hard to cut through. It was at least cooked though. My friend’s duck was just about dead. She flipped it over and the underside was very red **** red and cold. We asked the staff to cook it more thoroughly. They took it back and brought it back around 5 mins later but for 5 extra mins of cooking, it was barely warmer and still quite pink. Trying not to be one of ‘those people’ my friend lived with it, but it was still tough to cut through. When the plates were cleared, my friend fed back on the duck, which the waitress was very apologetic for. A couple of minutes later the presumably manager came over and apologised and asked what the issue had been. My friend explained again, which was again met by an apology and an offer to right the problem. We ordered dessert, a tasty pear tart, that went down very well at the end of the meal. When the bill came we thought the desserts may have been free of charge but they’d actually taken the more expensive duck option off the total. We were both unsure on what to take away from the evening. The service was excellent throughout. Dessert was good too. I think perhaps the main courses were just dishes that didn’t really come off in reality. The chef probably thought it all looked good on paper but the presentation was odd. The whole course was confused; almost trying too hard. I think I might go back in a few months and try something from the more traditional chop house options and then decide."

"The Detox kitchen is a rip off. I found the Detox kitchen quite pricey for the amount of food you get but I thought lets give it a chance as we are all a bit tired of Pret which we east for lunches pretty much every day. So I went to Detox quite a number of times to try out the different salad combinations and some other stuff they offer. A couple of them were ok but nothing over the top which would excite to pay the price they ask. Today I went there and asked for the usual '2 salad ' box and once again I watched them grabbing the salad with the serving tongs trying to grab as much AIR as possible fluffing the salad so it looks bigger in the box. The second salad was LITERALLY a trim of carrot so thin that I could see though it and 2 little pieces of Chinese cabbage of some sort and that 's IT! I was a bit offended thinking that I am paying £6.30 for this joke salad box so I asked to add a bit more salad... The girl said that 'it is the portion ' with the smile and won 't add even a gram more. I am not a fussy person and do not usually ask for anything extra or any special treatment but this time I felt like I got ripped off with the smile like never before. Will not be coming back there ever again!"

"The dining experience was excellent. Although I'm not Persian, I have good friends who are, and I can confidently say that this restaurant rivals some of the best Persian establishments in London. I would even go so far as to say that some of the dishes I had were among the most beautiful and authentic I've ever tried. The "coresh" was particularly remarkable, and the meat was juicy and flavorful. You can always tell a good Iranian restaurant by the tenderness and moisture of the "huhn kebab," and this place did not disappoint. We had a large group of 16, and everyone was satisfied with their meals. To be honest, it was slightly more expensive than I expected for a local restaurant, but I believe it was worth it. It's a bit of a shame that it isn't always busy, as they truly deserve the patronage—this place is a hidden gem."

"I went for the braised steak sandwich, and while the combination of sweet fried onions, creamy mushrooms, and tender, juicy steak was spot on, the ciabatta was sadly soggy from all the sauce. I yearned for a crispy crunch with each bite. On the bright side, the sandwich was meatier than a Highland cow, and the service was as warm and welcoming as a cozy fireplace on a cold Scottish night. The only hiccup was the price, which felt a wee bit steeper than some other bistro options in the area. Now, for dessert, I indulged in a heavenly slice of pumpkin pie adorned with toasted almonds, an orange caramel drizzle, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was like a sweet symphony for the taste buds, a delightful ending to the meal. In all, a lovely bistro experience, despite the minor ciabatta hiccup. If you're not penny-pinching, the dessert alone is worth the visit."

"I went into this cafe, I didn’t read the sign saying vegan as we were in a rush and dying for some coffee after a bike ride. The initial welcoming was nice and the man at the till asked if oat milk would be okay....Like I said I didn’t realise it was vegan so I asked for ‘normal milk’. To which I got some lady on a table rudely say to me ‘it’s cow juice’ not normal milk, to which the staff all joined in. I wasn’t there to get a judgement of my life choices. I immediately felt uncomfortable and left. On my way out, I’m assuming the lady on the table was a regular said ‘you’d think they sell breast milk to huh’. I couldn’t believe my ears. I know people have strong feelings about the vegan lifestyle but I made a mistake going in this coffee shop. To all NORMAL MILK DRINKERS, you’ll be harassed by vegan activists in here, would avoid at all cost! I’d of be up for trying an oat milk latè, if the atmosphere wasn’t so appalling. Considering you are in a part of the world where farming has been a big part of history and culture, you deserve the reputation that people give you as being ‘vegan’. Up tight and just rude."

"Visited with my husband and daughter for an early dinner. The waiting staff were warm, friendly and knowledgeable. Service was well timed and the food brilliant. I had kedgeree which was rich and tasty followed by the caramelised cream which was, no exaggeration, the best pudding I think I've ever had! My daughter (5) had a burger and chips which she demolished followed by chocolate ice cream again disappeared (she can be a dawdler over food) and my husband had sea trout followed by cheesecake both of which he loved. Having previously visited the Kitchin for my husbands 40th (4 years ago) we had wanted to come to scran and scallie for ages and it did not disappoint."

"The service was fantastic, a very nice welcome and an attentive waitress (Heidi) throughout. They brought over a complimentary prosecco and decorative dessert plate as it was my partner's birthday, which was a lovely touch. The only downside was that there was quite a limited menu as they were only offering the set menu that evening as opposed to a set menu offering with the availability of their main menu. The food was still great, but it would have been nice to have more choice. The dessert I had was great a hazelnut chux bun with salted caramel ice cream quite like a large ferrero rocher!"

"If you're in search of a spot to find super healthy, organic, and vegan food, then this little café is the place to be. Located in the Grassmarket, directly under the DanceBase, the refrigerators are stocked with salads, quinoa, sweet bowls, smoothies, health dishes, juices, and more. The space is small with only 3 tables that can accommodate up to 10 people, but it's popular for midday takeaways. I initially stopped in for a coffee with almond milk, soy, or coconut milk alternative, but I overheard that they were serving a peanut curry for lunch. I must say, the peanut curry with brown rice was fantastic. It was filling, hearty, and healthy. The carrots and chickpeas in the curry were flavorful, and the rice had a rich nutty taste. It was the perfect meal for a rainy day in Edinburgh. While it may be a bit pricey, the quality of the food makes it worth it."
