Located in the Grassmarket, Oink offers delicious hog roast rolls without a wait – or indeed an arduous hack to the Edinburgh Farmers Market, where they have been a fixture since 2001.
 
The rolls are filled to bursting point and served with a choice of stuffing and sauces, with crackling as an optional extra. The generous portions provide a thoroughly satisfying lunch or snack, with the pork sourced entirely from pigs reared locally on natural foodstuffs. There is also a small selection of drinks and snacks on offer.
 
Not for the faint-hearted, with the roasted pig sitting in the window to be carved. There's also limited seating, with most customers buying a roll to take away. Still, a must for true hog-roast fans.
