The Inn on the Mile combines a boutique hotel with a public pub and kitchen at 82 High Street on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. The building was constructed as a British Linen Bank in 1923 and retains the scale and detail of a historic city landmark. Its central position attracts hotel guests, local drinkers and visitors exploring the Old Town.
Breakfast begins with cooked Scottish plates and lighter choices before the main menu moves into traditional pub food. Cullen skink, haggis, fish and chips, steak pie, Chicken Balmoral and changing seasonal dishes place Scottish flavours at the centre. Sandwiches, salads and sharing plates provide practical alternatives when a full main course is not needed.
Vegetarian and vegan dishes include adaptable nachos, salads and a barley and root vegetable risotto, with current allergen information available from the venue. The kitchen uses shared preparation areas, so diners with serious allergies should speak with staff. Daily food service and space for walk ins make the pub flexible, although busy Royal Mile periods can reward booking ahead.
Local beer and whisky sit beside wine, spirits and signature cocktails, allowing the drinks list to work with both a quick snack and a complete dinner. Live music and televised sport give the bar a livelier evening identity than the bedrooms above might suggest. The Inn on the Mile offers a convenient way to combine hearty Scottish cooking with the social atmosphere of a Royal Mile pub.
Address: 82 High Street, Royal Mile, Edinburgh EH1 1LL, United Kingdom
