Sitting directly opposite St Giles' Cathedral on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, Angels with Bagpipes has been one of the city's most quietly assured restaurants since opening in 2010. Its name comes from a wooden carving in the nearby Thistle Chapel — and that same sense of Old Town character runs through everything. Inside a beautifully preserved 17th-century building, stone walls and soft contemporary lighting frame a menu built entirely around Scotland's natural larder: hand-dived scallops, venison loin, North Sea halibut, and the much-loved haggis bon bons with whisky sauce. Head Chef Fraser, who appeared on Great British Menu, brings a modern precision to ingredients that speak for themselves. Intimate, independent, and thoroughly Edinburgh.

Shrewsbury
I’d never done the tour before and I’m so glad I finally did! It was such a fun and delicious way to spend the day. I loved trying new dishes and exploring different types of cuisine — each of the six venues offered something unique, and every stop came with a perfectly paired drink, which added to the experience. Being in Shrewsbury made it even better. The time to walk between venues gave us a chance to chat, enjoy the surroundings, and really savour the day. It felt relaxed, friendly, and full of flavour. Overall, it was a lovely day — fun, tasty, and a great way to discover new spots. Highly recommended for any foodie looking for a good time!
Bristol
Very nice to do on a Sunday afternoon. Nice to get to know new restaurants. All participants did their very best to serve us delicious dishes. All dishes were tasty and particularly innovative.
Birmingham
It was a great experience and took us to us places we would never normally have visited. We are new in the city and it is a great way to discover Milton Keynes
Liverpool
All enthusiastic entrepreneurs with a passion for wine and food! It's nice to give as a gift and it's really fun. The service at 1 restaurant was not quite great, so that was a bit of a shame, but the other 5 were perfect.
