We don't even know where to begin with this place. Easy one of the best places we have ever eaten. We walked in and were pre-warned that there was a group of 30 guests so we may be waiting which wasn't a problem to us and turns out there wasn't a wait either. It seemed like there was only two waiters working but the customer service was still great. Nothing to complain about from the minute we sat down. Everything from the menu & prices, to the decor & music was right!
I went with the Raspberry Beret to drink which was a cocktail that sounded completely up my street from the first word - Vodka, Triple Sec, Raspberries, Cloudy Lemonade & Lemon Juice. Say. No. More.
I went for the classic Steak & Kidney pie because you can't go wrong with it and boy, was I right. The pastry was cooked perfect, almost like a cross between flaky & shortcrust - I don't know what it was but it was right. Paired with mash & peas, it was just everything right with a pie and mash shop.
Jed went for one of the Christmas pie's - the Mistlemoo pie: Beef Steak, Bacon & Port. Whilst it's not too dissimilar to a steak and kidney pie, you could really tell the difference in flavours. The Mistlemoo was rich compared to the Kate & Sidney and just gave that little bit more. Jed also went for The Mothership meaning his pie came with mash and topped with minty mushy peas, cheddar & shallots and it just made his dinner even more indulgent.
I'm going to say it again... everything was right!
We can't rate this place high enough and we're very excited to go back!

We Quit

-
Well, long time, no see! You read it - we quit. After months and months of deliberation, we finally did it. We’re spending the next 7 months travelling round Asia and then we’re moving to CANADA! At this moment in time we’re gearing up for the adventure of a lifetime and we’re excited to take you with us! We’ve created an entire Instagram that is going to be dedicated to our travels and you can follow it on @otterstravels. We’ve been thinking long and hard about what we want our travel vlogs and IG to consist of and we think it’s worth getting excited about! We would love to hear from you guys about what you would be interested to see while we’re out and about too. Otters Kitchen will remain fully in tact and we will be incorporating that into our videos along side our everyday adventures. Edinburgh is going to be our first stop. We have a whole 6 days to make the most out of Fringe 2019 and this is where our vlog adventure will begin (if we remember and get use to picking a camer...

Our Order River Phoenix £9.50 (Double cheeseburger, bacon, shoestrings onions, Frazzles, red chilies, Redneck BBQ, Bacon Bacon mayo, Smoky Bacon Ketchup) DTF £10 (Extra thick juicy patty, double American cheese, bacon, wonder onions, smoky bacon ketchup, dijon mustard, peppered mayo, pickles) Chilli Cheese Tots £5.50 (Tots, cheese, beef chilli, hot sauce, sour cream, jalapeno, onion) £25 8/10 After struggling to find Almost Famous on the Saturday, we were sure to find the place on Sunday. We had checked the menu on the Saturday and we were really excited to jump into it, especially after feeling the vibes as soon as we walked through the door. It wasn't too busy but you could feel the buzz. We struggled to settle on something for a while but my heart was telling me to go for the River Phoenix immediately purely for the Frazzles - I really wanted something different. The frazzles added a great texture to the burger, I just wanted more. It sounded like it was almost going to...

Our Order: Thighs, Blue Cheese Sauce, Salt & Pepper Chips £12.50 Double Mac £16 ( Two buttermilk chicken breasts, sandwiched with mac n cheese, crispy bacon, Dr Pepper BBQ and cheese sauces. Topped with two Dr Pepper BBQ wings.) Extra Buffalo Sauce £1 £29.50 9/10 After wandering round for about half an hour, looking for Almost Famous, we had no luck so we headed into Yard & Coop instead.  The place was filled to the brim and had a great atmosphere (and an ever better drinks menu). The variety of beers they offer is something and there was also a good few options for cocktails too. Both had nothing on the food menu though. Making a decision of something to eat was so hard as we both wanted everything on the menu, especially after seeing the food coming out of the kitchen. I was torn between trying the Dr Pepper sauce and the buffalo sauce so decided to go with the Double Mac with a side of buffalo because I'm greedy and refuse to regret not eating something. It was s...
