Ye Olde Inn is a community bar and restaurant at 25 Main Street in Davidson’s Mains. It has served the neighbourhood for more than a century and offers several distinct spaces, including a lounge, public bar, bright conservatory and large beer garden.
The menu gives Scottish pub food a prominent place, with haggis spring rolls and haggis topped dirty fries among the starters and sharing dishes. Homemade fishcakes, chicken wings and nachos provide alternatives for a table ordering several plates.
Larger choices include fish and chips, wraps and warm ciabatta sandwiches, supported by chips, onion rings and other sides. Vegetarian adaptations are available for some haggis dishes, helping mixed groups navigate the selection.
A wide drinks range complements food served throughout the day, while the conservatory and garden suit different seasons. The relaxed setting works for a quick lunch, family dinner, private function or an evening following the pub quiz.
