Oink was pig-a-licious. Good place for a quick and tasty lunch. I needed a protein heavy-meal, and this did the trick.

A delish pulled pork sandwich! We had no idea what to do...but the folks behind the counter walked us through building our sandwich. (Seinfeld Soup-Nazi-like, but nicer :)) It's truly a hole in the wall and we recommend it! read more

Not at all worth the hype. I don't get why there's a line out the door. There's also nowhere to eat... one table inside. The people serving were very nice though. read more

I heard about Oink on the Metflix show, Somebody Feed Phil, and immediately added it to my research for our trip. We stopped by for lunch one day and we each enjoyed a delicious sammich. The sammiches come on a big, soft, delicious roll. And they're filled with a generous portion of pulled pork. You get to customize them a little bit by selecting your bread, the size of the sammich, the stuffing (sage and onion or the homemade haggis), and a variety of spreads (apple, homemade mustard mayo, homemade chili cheese, and homemade chili jam). My wife got the sage & onion, and I opted for a haggis filling. We both very much enjoyed our rolls. They were very filling, and the staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. The haggis was unique, but we are very familiar with pulled pork sammiches back home. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend Oink to any hungry travelers in Edinburgh. read more

I stopped here shortly before leaving Edinburgh on the train. This was my last meal in Edinburgh and very delicious. There is usually a line outside this simple restaurant but possibly due to the light rain, the line was fairly short when I went. I only waited for like 5 minutes. The menu is simple as the roasted hog/pig is the only thing on the menu. You can choose a few things to customize the sandwich or even order it in a box. I ordered the Oink size (medium) on wheat bread and chose sage and onion for my topping and then the Homemade Mustard Mayo for the sauce. They make it in front of you and it is fresh and very tasty. Unfortunately when I went they were out of cracklings. They wrap it in foil and hand it to you. Pretty simple and efficient. I love that the outside of the building is painted pink like a pig (coincidence? Probably not). This is a good place to try for a quick, cheap and yummy sandwich. They do this one thing very well. Please open more of these! read more

Would give 10 stars if I could. Small place basically take out. Best pulled pork ever. You pick a bread(white or brown) a spread(sage and onion or haggis) and then a sauce. They have three different sizes. The servers are friendly and walk you through if it's your first time. The pulled pork is tender, juicy and cooked just right. read more

With all the sit down restaurants some times a good BBQ sandwich is perfect. Oink made me squeal. The roll was very fresh and the pork meat tender and flavorful. Oink added something like a spread to the pork (which is not common in the US) but it seemed to add flavor. The joint gets crowded but service is fast. The pig decor added to the ambiance. read more

I like when restaurants focus on doing just one thing really well. Limited seating, but it's a quick meal, so you should be able find space. No public restroom, so be sure to grab a lot of napkins because it's gonna get messy. Grunter on Brown Bread with Sage and Onion Stuffing and Apple Sauce: Well, the Grunter is definitely a huge portion. So much pork, sometimes you don't even get bread in the bite. Really liked the tenderness of the pork. Seemed fresh, since I saw the worker scooping from the whole roast hog behind the counter. I especially like the little bit of crispy skin that was placed on top the bun. The sage and onion stuffing was mild, but added some flavor. The apple sauce might not have been a strong enough pairing. Maybe mustard would have stood up to all that pork. read more

For being a steak lover, my bf made a shocking declaration -- good pork is superior to good beef; though the latter is easier to find, in his experience. He was all *heart eyes emoji* at the giant roast pig in Oink's window. Similar to Filipino lechon, American South pulled pork, & Hawaiian kalua pig, Scottish hog roast draws large crowds because it is tender & flavorful. We ordered the smallest sandwich on the menu -- the Piglet size for £5.95 on a white roll -- & for toppings, chose sage & onion stuffing, apple sauce, & extra crackling (55p more.) I have no doubt I'd be dragged back to Oink if I were to drag my bf back to Edinburgh. Cashiers get you in & out as quickly as they can but the store is small & absolutely jam packed. We ate right outside on Victoria St. which is a great memory from our trip! read more

A highly recommended sandwich shop we were told to try. I tried the Oink with white bread stuffing was a homemade haggis with homemade mustard mayo and adding crackling. Meat was very tender and the crackling was perfect contrast to the melt in your mouth pork and bread. Wife had the Oink with brown bread with Sage and Onion and homemade chili cheese adding crackling also. The service is fast and staff is helpful in choosing what you want in your sandwich. The store itself is small and limited seating if it was not raining at the time we would have just taken it to go and eat it while working. read more

Located on one of Edinburgh's prettiest, most picturesque streets in Old Town, Oink simply can't be missed! Farmers Adam and Sandy wanted to bring their natural products from the farm to the city. Passionate about good honest food, they introduced Edinburgh to their deliciously fresh Scottish hog roasts at the local Farmers Market which turned out to be a huge success. In 2008, Oink was born and they have been serving Edinburgh's locals and visitors alike along Victoria Street and the Royal Mile ever since. If the large, chopped up roast in the window doesn't catch your eye, the bright pink signage surely will! Who can resist delicious pulled pork on freshly baked bread rolls? I know I couldn't. Head inside and you'll find their menu explaining how to order the Hog Roast Rolls. The freshly carved hog roast is served in a white or brown roll with a choice of sage & onion, apple sauce, chilli relish or haggis and topped with crispy crackling. I can't remember which stuffing and sauce I got exactly, but I do remember it was quite tasty! Oink was a really convenient, fast-casual meal and it was also one of the more affordable meals we had in Old Town. They wrap your sandwich up in foil so we were also able to easily bring it along with us and eat it on the way to our next destination. We visited in May of 2022, but I imagine (and hope) not much has changed. Overall, definitely recommend a stop here! read more

Found this place off of a social media video. There was a line outside, but it moved pretty quickly. There is also seating inside, but was a little tighter so we had to stand outside to eat. The food was delicious. We're from the U.S. & it tasted better in my opinion than of the pulled pork we have. Definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

After seeing this place featured on Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix, we kept it in mind for our trip to Edinburgh. Well, I can assure you it doesn't disappoint. My husband wasn't thrilled with the bread options, but he liked the pork. Later I went back and picked up "the whole hog" in a box and that was fantastic! Very tender and not dry. I took it back to our flat and made it Hawaiian style with rice and a salad. Very good!! This is a very small place so it's more of a grab and go. Staff is very nice and welcoming. read more

It's a fast food restaurant served pulled pork. They have 2 locations in Edinburgh, we went to the one on Victoria street while we were in the area. They have a very tiny dining area. It's very crowded inside so I noticed people didn't really sit down to eat. The line was very long but it moved pretty quickly. They have menu on the wall in English, French, Spanish and Italian showing how to order food here. Basically, you can order Hog in a box ( 250gm meat without bread) OR with freshly baked roll comes in 3 size - piglet (80gm small), Oink (160gm medium) and grunter (250gm large). Both options come with 1 stuffing and sauce. Besides that you can also get their combo with crips or drink. Service was fast and super friendly. We ordered the hog in the box with apple sauce, haggis, and a Grunter with homemade BBQ sauce. I honestly didn't get the hype of this place. Pull pork was dry and not flavorful. Apple sauce and haggis made the taste a bit different/unique. I had pull pork better else, especially in Asia. Overall, good portion for under 10 GBP but I wouldn't return. read more

Piggybacking off of Ricardo J.'s review, yes this did hit the spot. While taking a stroll through Victoria Street, I noticed a line coming out of this fast-casual spot. Of course, it piqued my curiosity and I found myself waiting in line like a lemming. They focus on their pork sandwiches. The menu is not big but works for them. Choose from several different combinations and sizes. There's a small area to sit down to take a quick bite. Grunter- Brown bread, pulled pork, haggis, with homemade chili jam. This was the largest size. They toast bread, so it's nice, warm, and fluffy. The pork was juicy. And the creamy haggis with the tang from the chili jam paired perfectly with the pork. There's just a lot of comforting savoriness in each bite. Overall Service: Even though there was a line, it moves quickly. Everyone here was jovial and helpful. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Thank you, Rosie Q., for putting this place on my list of places to eat in Edinburgh. It definitely hit the spot when it was needed. We came here late in the day and, like a good Texas BBQ place, it sells meat until they run out most days and not when they are slated to close. I still managed to get an "Oinker" size sandwich with the pork, chili sauce, and sage and onion mix. Think of it as roast pork with some spicy sauce and stuffing flavor. Yet the tenderness of the pork and the quality of ingredients elevated it to something much more. The staff was friendly enough and answered all the questions some other customers had - such as - "is this pork?" Here's your sign. The two young men hustled and helped us get a great sandwich at a great price. This was the perfect spot for a quick warm bite on a cold day. Seating is limited, though, so be prepared to eat on the street. Enjoy the view of Victoria Street, then, and good luck trying to take your time eating a masterpiece from here. read more

Delicious Fresh whole roasted pig, American Style/Island style in the heart of the Royal Mile in historic Edinburgh! Such a surprise to find a big delicious hot bbq sandwich on a cold Scotland evening after site seeing. Very reasonably price, casual eatery in the perfect spot. When I dream, I dream of everything Edinburgh, and I will eat here again! I love you Edinburgh, must be my Campbell Clan roots calling me back! read more

I love Oink! All three Edinburgh locations. Small inside and often with a line, it is still worth a visit. What's not to like about a place with a whole roasted pig in the window every day. My go to is the Oink sandwich with mustard/mayo and haggis. Absolutely delicious. Their shortbread (shaped like a pig, of course) is also amazing. I am simply incapable of visiting Edinburgh without at least one stop at Oink. And often that leads to more. I love this place. read more

The roasted pig head (lechon) in the window will get your attention on Victoria Street. It's very very cozy inside with limited seats and a line that's long, but it goes quick if you know what you want. You order your size, white/brown bread, choice of sage and stuffing or haggis spread, then choice of homemade sauce. I ordered the Oink Meal with the stuffing and chili sauce. Loved the small piece of crunchy skin on top of the bun. The pork was moist and filling. It was really good! read more

This spot is not for you if you are not willing to stand in a line and be in a crowd while getting your food--it's very popular. They only make pulled pork, and when it runs out, it runs out. We had the pork sandwich with the haggis which gave a wonderful seasoning and spice to the sandwich. It's a great value, and really, really delicious. (Note, I didn't like the crackling, but others seemed to. A bit too hard for me.) Don't miss this place, even for a snack! read more

Conveniently located on the bustling Victoria street. Right in the center of everything and it's easy to find (look for the bright pink). Could get pretty crowded during the peak times as this was featured on a lot of films. You first pick your size , then if you want onions or haggis, and then you choose one sauce. Anything more are additional charges. Everything is wrapped in foil for "to-go" but there are 1 or 2 seats inside if you want to eat there. They have a glass window right in the front so you can see all of the pulled meat and them making it. Anything smaller than the largest grunter size is pretty small and not filling, but the largest size is about 10 euros (which I find kind of expensive for what you are getting). The size all depends on the amount of grams of meat you are getting. I went with the twist with haggis inside of it which gave it a very interesting after taste. It wasn't my favorite, but when in Scotland right? It had flavor but it honestly wasn't my favorite sandwhich I've ever had. Interesting to try once to say you've had it in your travels, but probably wouldn't return just from the taste (it could be a personal preference). read more

Great food, bad customer service. Today I went in for the first time (I am a resident here) saw it in passing and somebody feed Phil. Was super excited the food was lush and moist and beautiful. The guy behind the counter in Hanover street? Absolute waste of space, no customer skill whatsoever obviously doesn't want to be there. I watched the women's interactions she was smiling and happy to help. Give her a raise get rid of him. Will try the other one as long as they don't rotate staff. 9/10 for food, 1/10 for that moody, unfriendly guy where tourists expect our best. read more

Small shop on Victoria Street - great lunch option if you like pulled pork sandwiches! Walk in, order a sandwich off of a straightforward menu and either take it to-go or grab one of their few seats to eat. I tried the: Oink sandwich with white bread, sage & onion and homemade chili jam / Oink sandwich with brown bun, haggis and homemade chili cheese. Oink is the medium size. The pork was super flavorful and I loved the crunchy pieces, and the flavor combos were unexpectedly amazing! read more

As featured on the Edinburgh episode of "Somebody Feed Phil", this smaller, colourful, and vibrant roast pork sandwich spot is located on the famous Victoria street (which was the inspiration for Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter books.). We were a family of four, and ordered two Oink and two Grunter sized sandwiches. You can choose your roast pork to come with either sage & onion or haggis, and a choice of five different sauces. I'd recommend: - Oink side. Grunter size didn't look like that much more meat. - We enjoyed the Haggis more than the Sage & Onion. - I thought the BBQ sauce was the best, but my son liked the chilli cheese sauce the most. The hotter sauces are not super hot. A good spot. Not a lot of places to sit inside, we got lucky sitting at the one table. Recommended to try but read more

Sandwich was very satisfying. Good amount of pork and nice flavor. The apple topping was a nice addition.

The Sandwiches were really good!!! Hard to pick which sandwich to pick I would go there again read more

I'm not much of a pork eater. But. when near an Oink - I am definitely stopping in. Fantastic experience and food

I really wanted to like this place since it's such a popular spot. While I would return again since it's such a simple bite to eat, it was not anything special to my taste buds. The concept is simple: choose your size, bread, stuffing, and sauce. I chose the Oink (£5.40 for 160g --this is their medium size and most popular option) on white bread with sage and onion stuffing and homemade chili cheese sauce. Make sure you get the crackling (roasted pork skin) in your sandwich though; this is the best part of it! The shredded pull pork is tender and moist, but a bit bland. I don't think there was enough stuffing and sauce to give it enough flavor. If there was more flavor, this would be an amazing sandwich. For now, it's the crackling that makes this sandwich completely worthwhile --so crispy and crunchy, yum! I also added a cup of soup for the oink and soup combo for an extra £1. The soup was a broccoli chedder, which was good but I wish it was more chunky than blended. Either way, good bite for those on the go but nothing too special in my book. read more

No complaints about the service- the employees answered any questions I had. The space is quite small but that's not a big deal as people are in and out of the joint quick. Pro tip: get the crackling, it will make your amazing sandwich a thousand times better! read more

This place is amazing. An unexpected favorite/treasure on the Royal Mile. Service was fantastic and quick. Food was amazing. By the time we were done ordering, there was a table available (DON'T BE SCARED AWAY BY THE SMALL SPACE! It's worth the wait for a table or even sitting on the sidewalk. It's that good.) It's hard to choose between the sauces and spreads for your sandwich but you can't go wrong. Prices were great. Would love to have one of these near us. read more

I love the gimmick this place has. Every morning they get a full roasted pig and make their sandwiches, but once it's done, they close for the day. It's especially cool because they display the pig so you can see the progress. I would walk by at different times on different days and it was fascinating. When I ordered one for myself I got the small with mustard mayo and onion sage stuffing. It was delicious! The meat is tender and juicy, with seasoning not too strong. Worth going back a few times to try the different mixes they offer. I only had it once but had I had more time, you bet i'd be spending it here. read more

I literally cannot rate this place high enough. It's been months since I've left Scotland and I still wake up thinking about this place's crackling and delicious sandwiches... We ate here twice and the sandwich was great both times. I recommend the smallest size--it's a lot bigger than you might think! If I'm ever back in this neck of the woods, I'm going to be first in line at Oink. read more

It was a bit dry on the edge but on the other edge it was very saucy. Its a cheap fulfilling food though. For fast food, its a really good quality and value. But it didnt reach my expectation of a good pulled pork sandwich because it was a bit dry. Recommendation is to put more sauce to be more saucy. Cheers! read more
