Head down the quaint, cobbled lane of Frederick Street, where you’ll find The Queens Arms, a traditional Scottish pub serving a hearty Sunday Roast.

A feast for all the family, The Queens Arms is a kid-friendly gastropub perfect for cosying up in an antique armchair or around a huge dining table.

Sunday’s here are all about gathering the troops and tucking into hearty meats with all the trimmings, choose from the single beef roast, the roasted pumpkin and beetroot wellington as a vegan option, or the sharing roast with 14oz roast beef, all the trimmings and a sharing dessert.

The Queens Arms is nestled in the heart of Edinburgh, just off Princes Street and conveniently located near Edinburgh Waverley.

    Really enjoyed the visit. Friendly and attentive staff. Food was very good and pretty reasonably priced given the location. Great selection of beers. Didn't need a reservation but we also had dinner a little early and on a Tuesday. Would definitely come back next time I'm in the city!

    I would go as far to say this is some of the BEST pub food I’ve ever had. Between my group we had the loaded fries, fried chicken skewers, mac&cheese, onion rings, and a steak meal. It was so so tasty and the chips seemed home made which was even better. Would 100% recommend and would return if I ever got the chance. Staff were lovely too, fast service and good atmosphere. My ONLY negative, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, was that it was very loud in there if you prefer a more peaceful meal, however is it a sports bar so this is to be expected and I did enjoy the atmosphere regardless.

    While planning our trip to the UK, we knew we had to experience a proper Sunday roast—and after reading countless glowing reviews, we made a reservation at The Queen’s Arms in Edinburgh weeks in advance. It did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was absolutely stellar—friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. The food? Fantastic. The Sunday roast lived up to all the hype—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and satisfying in every way. This was exactly the kind of meal we were hoping to have in the UK, and it more than delivered. We can officially check this one off the bucket list, and we highly recommend The Queen’s Arms to anyone looking for a great meal and authentic experience in Edinburgh!
