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.

    We had the sharing beef Sunday roast which was 10/10! Served on a sharing board and it was the perfect amount of food, it was delicious! I noticed from other review photo that the beef is quite pink in the middle which personally isn’t my favourite but I asked for the beef to be a bit tougher and it was perfect. The atmosphere was great and the decor was very cosy! I would definitely recommend. Will be visiting again for sure.

    My husband and I came here for an early lunch and had reservations for 11:45. We arrived at 11:30 when they opened, and after waiting for the people in front of us were seated immediately. This pub is incredibly cute. It wasn’t that crowded yet and was relatively quiet. I ordered the Sunday roast and my husband had the fish and chips. Both were excellent. I ordered the Royal macaroni and cheese to go for dinner and it was also excellent. Will definitely be back here again.

    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!
