Foil, Arms and Hog: Oink: 4 star review by Rick Willis

Irish sketch trio and social media sensations Foil, Arms and Hog are back at the Fringe after selling out shows for the last eight, (yes you read that right, eight), years.

A bare stage adorned only by Foil, Arms and Hog’s trademark cymbal served well as both prison and jungle.

Foil, Arms and Hog’s particular brand of sketch show works so well because it is simple and yet wonderfully original; a fusion of hilarious characters, word play and physical comedy with a glorious pinch of silliness.

All three performers ooze charisma as they treat us to a memorable interaction with an embarrassed latecomer which they call back to in great style throughout the show.

Great writing and silly characters vie for center stage in a show of big laughs.

Edinburgh - REVIEW – Oink, Victoria Street | Edinburgh Spotlight

If pig is not your meal of choice, then Oink is not for you.

There is only two choices on the menu – a roll stuffed with slow roast pork with / without crackling !

More information about where the pigs are roasted can be found here.

There’s only a few seats in the restaurant to perch on and eat your roll, but a lot of people take out and sit in the nearby Grassmarket.

Around £4.50 for a roll (December 2009).

It was a sort of Scottish Breakfast/French petit dejeuner that started with yogurts, homemade stewed prunes, grapefruit slices, nuts and porridge, and finished with eggs, homemade sausage, back bacon, haggis (a lovely version created specially for the inn by a local butcher), roasted tomatoes and mushrooms.

(Found using TripAdvisor) -- Heatherfield House is run by Gary and Sue, a very nice British couple.

So, after a fantastic night’s sleep in the extremely comfortable beds and a shower in the nicest bathroom we saw in Scotland, we sat down to a full Scottish breakfast.

(Found using TripAdvisor) -- A small hotel run by the same family for the last couple of hundred years, this inn is nicely updated and has the quintessential Scottish pub on the main floor.

The full Scottish breakfast the next morning, which is included with a night's stay, wasn’t nearly in the same league as Barley Bree or Heatherfield House, but I think at that point we were spoiled.

Oink Hog Roast Reviews - Edinburgh, United Kingdom - Skyscanner

Freshly roasted pork heaped onto a bread roll, with a choice of sage and onion, apple sauce, chilli relish or haggis on top.

From £2.95 for a small ‘piglet’ roll to £4.95 for a large ‘grunter’, it's great value for the budget conscious.

Chef-owner Richard Alexander is clearly a stickler - from the smallest details (Tyrell's crisps; good beers; a slightly sweet, but deliciously fiery homemade ginger beer, £2.10) to the relatively ambitious specials, such as boudin noir with glazed carrots and potatoes (£6.95), everything smacks of quality.

The components are good: creamy mozzarella; sweet, well-seasoned tomato sauce; nicely fatty, dry sausage; and the pizza bases are exemplarily - crisp, fresh, paper thin in the middle and well-charred.

The menu continues the theme, offering comfort food classics: macaroni cheese, shepherd's pie and, hence the name, a variety of mix 'n' match sausage, mash and gravy options.

This Swedish bakery-cafe - the Peter in question is Peter Ljungquist, who, back home, runs high-end artisan bakery brand, Olof Viktors - serves Scandinavian takes on the staples: soups, open sandwiches, salads, but local foodies love it for its breads and cakes.

Expect zingy salads, great soups (say, a gutsy roasted red pepper and tomato with good croutons and thin homemade oatcakes) and interesting mains, such as cheese and herb fritters with apple mango chutney (£6.25).

Lip-smacking and nostril-tingling arrangements of pork from hog roasts to pulled pork Victoria Street is a treat for the nostrils.

Oink - about halfway down on the right hand side - is a tiny shop, serving hog roasts, and you will probably smell it before you see it.

Set up by two farmers from the Scottish Borders and selling fluffy morning rolls with moreish roast pork (or pulled pork, to give it its more hipster name), with crackling and a choice of sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce, chilli relish or haggis.

The Piglet (£2.95) suits a smaller stomach, the Oink is somewhere in the middle (£3.95), and the Grunter (£4.95) is better for bigger appetites.

Oink does an outside catering service too - not one for the vegetarians for sure, but if it would be just the thing to lay on at your wedding/christening/medieval ‘Live Action Role Playing’ weekend, they can bring along a rotating whole pig on a spit, or a smaller hog roast leg if you so desire.
