Many locals in Edinburgh know that Swanston golf club offers fantastic food in a lovely environment for walkers over the Pentland Hills
City centre golf club, Prestonfield has recently upped its game and is now serving food from 8am to 8pm
The porridge station for the early morning sofa is an absolute must at 8am.
With all the usual accoutrements of fresh berries yoghurts, apricots, jams, honey and the like your £2 goes a long way.
While a wee Scottish breakfast will only set you back £4.
Some golf clubs are certainly from another century and these Prestonfield prices are, but the attitude from the happy staff was very much 21st-century courteous service.
The golf course is magnificent and in pristine condition. This tough tree lined track applauds every birdie and they're there along with peacocks, pheasants and deer as you stroll in the shadow of Edinburgh's iconic volcano, Arthur's seat. The basalt columns of Samson's ribs tower over the par 5 third, a 550 yard dog leg along the edge of the Queen's Park while the cherry blossom provides a colourful canopy.
The evening bistro menu was quite simply off the clock
I know where I'll watch the Open championship at Royal Portrush, the July promotional Bistro menu has a varied selection for every palate. For Gluten free me, chicken fajitas and the chilli con Carne served in a GF tortilla basket with vegan cheese and sour cream hit the mark. Both plates were £5 proving a visitor to Edinburgh needn't lose their shirt every time they want a meal. Golf clubs are notoriously cheap but rarely accessible.
Prestonfield is friendly, the views are outstanding and it's only 10 minutes to walk to @Summerhall or the @thePleasance.
I know where I'll be dining during the Edinburgh Festival fringe 2019
