The Sheep Heid Inn is a historic pub and restaurant in the village of Duddingston, a short distance from central Edinburgh. Traditional rooms and a courtyard give it the settled character of a country inn while keeping it within the city. Its long association with the area makes the building part of the experience as much as the food and drink.
The all day menu follows the generous style of a premium British pub, moving from starters and sharing plates to steaks, fish and hearty mains. Ingredients and accompaniments change with the season, and vegetarian and vegan choices provide alternatives to the meat and seafood dishes. Desserts keep to the comforting mood with baked and cream based favourites.
Sunday roasts are an important part of the week, with beef, chicken, pork and a meat free roast served with potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Children’s menus and group options help the inn accommodate family lunches and celebrations. Its skittle alley can also form part of a private gathering, giving groups an unusual activity within the venue.
Cask and draught beer, wine, spirits and cocktails support both a meal and a visit centred on the pub. The courtyard is particularly appealing in suitable weather, while the interior provides a warm retreat after exploring Duddingston or nearby Holyrood Park. The Sheep Heid Inn brings traditional hospitality and substantial food together in one of Edinburgh’s most distinctive village settings.
