Breakfast in Edinburgh?

I’m playing in a croquet competition in Balgreen in Edinburgh on Sunday. Where should I breakfast? I’m staying in the Holiday Inn on Corstorphine Road nearby.

Do feel free to come and laugh at how inept I am.

Be sure you sample the haggis, black pudding, and kippers. :cool:

There’s a bit of a dearth of Sunday morning cafes and coffee shops in that area, in my experience.

I fear I’d either eat at the hotel or take a 10 minute bus ride into Haymarket (Nomad opposite the station possibly) , or maybe the West End (Ryan’s Bar right on the junction or Maxime’s 50 yards down Queensferry Street), and then take a tram from either West End or Haymarket tram stops a couple of stops to the Balgreen stop and walk the 400 yards or so to your match…
There are heaps of other places near my suggestions if you don’t fancy them.

I’m prepping to move house, so I’m afraid I can’t come to laugh at you.

And of course porridge (note that the Scots eat it with salt :eek: )

Doesn’t the hotel itself serve breakfast?

Well yes, but I’m hoping to do better.

:slight_smile:

For a treat, fry a slice of haggis (or cook a haggis and cut a slice), place a poached egg on the slice, and dress with Hollandaise sauce. This also works with black pudding and you can have a little fun by having one egg with black pudding and the other with black haggis.

With bacon, of course! :o

You might think so, but both work very well without. Unless you mean bacon on the side, in which case you are a Doper of resplendent taste.

“**Ayrshire **bacon, no less!” he said, chowing down on a British full breakfast. :cool:

You missed many opportunities. I played dreadfully. Shots went left and right but seldom centre; shots went long and short but seldom the right distance.
