After sight-seeing around Edinburgh Castle, we headed over to Grassmarket to try a roasted pulled pork sandwich at Oink. This is one of the top-rated affordable eats in the city so this is definitely a must-try for student tourists!
Every morning, Oink roasts an entire pig and once the meat is gone, they close up shop for the rest of the day!
What We Ordered
The way to order at Oink is very simple:
- Choose one of three sizes (The Piglet, The Oink, and The Grunter) on a white or brown roll
- Pick a sauce: sage & onion, applesauce, cheese, chili relish
- And ask for toppings: haggis, crackling pork skin
This is a “piglet” pulled pork sandwich on a white roll with sage & onion sauce. It was delicious!
I think this pulled pork sandwich is exactly what we were looking for in Edinburgh. After eating at a lot of sit-in restaurants, sometimes it is very refreshing to finally find a cheap and good dive to just casually enjoy a meal.
