The Pear Tree

This is a great place to watch sport if the weather is good; large beer garden at the front of the entrance to the pub with a giant TV and nice atmosphere when busy, as it usually is when the weather is good. The beer on offer is decent, with plenty of non-alcoholic drinks available too. The fish and chips is superb. One of the best I’ve had in Edinburgh. The rest of the items on the menu is what you would expect from a pub. Personally didn’t think anything looked as good as the fish and chips but may be wrong here. If you fancy a ‘chippy’ while basking in the sun and watching sport then this is the place for you. Even if sport and sun isn’t your thing, I’d say it’s worth it just for the fish and chips.

A lovely pub that was recommended by a friend. We were a family of 4 including a 15 year old and 7 year old and we wanted somewhere for a bite to eat and drinks, watch some football and play some competative Uno. The Pear Tree was ideal, the food was great and generous portions, the drinks reasonable and Daisy was well impressed with the homemade J20's (Passion Fruit Juice and Orange Juice!). The only small drawback was one member of staff who was very rude to a family that were sat near to us outside, and then also very rude to my Wife when ordering food, shrugging her shoulders and refusing to answer a query - hahaha! Suppose we can all have bad days though, or even worse end up in a job we hate!!

Great place, recommended for families. Drinks were lovely, food beautiful. One staff member was very miserable and commented on a dog nearby that shouldn’t be in the pub beer garden. The dog was no bother. The way she spoke to the people wasn’t the best, she was also very miserable when serving. Apart from that everything was great!

Drank here to watch England beat Australia in the world cup semi-final. Too few staff behind the bar making the queue massive, often out of the door. This just meant we drank less as it put you off joining the end and having to wait so long to get served. But the venue was awesome. Huge screen. Excellent atmosphere.
