The Cumberland is one of our favourite pubs in Edinburgh! The food is fantastic and the service is always friendly and accommodating. The ambience of the pub is nice and traditional as they do not have television screens so it does not become loud and rowdy during sporting events. If I could rate the Cumberland higher than five stars, I would! Highly recommend!

Very welcoming and lovely bar with a beer garden, located in a quiet area to recharge after a busy time in town. Amazing!

Outstanding service in this lovely traditional boozer. Food is good pub grub, and came quickly even though we were a large group. Staff so helpful. We were there lunchtime on a Saturday and it was quiet, though we still had a semi private space which fitted our birthday celebration perfectly.

Staff tried to remove us from our booked table before we even ate because they were short of space. Half of the cask beers were unavailable. Many items on the menu were unavailable. Would never recommend this place.

Popped in on the off chance of getting something to eat and got a table for two. Great beer on barman's recommendation. Food was the usual pub food but great quality. We always visit Edinburgh in late April so will definitely be going back to this great pub next year

Hosted a regular meetup for 15 folks (booked via OpenTable). As ever, fast and friendly service. Plenty of space and relatively quiet during the day, but I do recommend booking if more than 4 folks. Many of us ate too, and it has reasonable pub food for the price. It’s also pet friendly: one of our guests brought their cat!
