Cramond Inn

The Cramond Inn is ideally placed for folk who are waiting for the tide to allow a wander over to Cramond Island (which apparently is only an island for part of the time). It’s an ‘old man’s’ type bar with a good selection of ales and pub fare menu. On a chilly day it’s also amazing to get by one of the four wood fires and get toasty!
The only problem with the Cramond Inn is its rather peculiar times for serving food. As I mentioned, it sits by a place that walkers will frequently use so what would be better than something warm as you arrive back from a walk across the causeway, that’s fine if the walk finishes after 1pm but if you’d like an early lunch then it’s a no go! There is a captive market being the only place for miles so it seems quite silly not to capitalise on it.

There was another review that almost steered me away from coming here. The brewery sponsoring The Cramond Inn is Samuel Smiths. They are not unheard of, and the beer was quite nice. This pub is very cozy and patrons friendly. We ate the sticky toffee pudding and raspberry crumble. Both delicious.
The staff were patient and friendly. I’m glad for going there.

On seeing the old Cramond Inn sign outside I was looking forward to an old style bar but instead the old character that was once there, now gone & replaced by a chain pub.
I can honestly say that I’ve never been in a place where there was so many dogs, ever!
The drinks selection was very poor I fact l did not recognise any of the draught beers or ciders even the back fridge, it was as if they where offering cheap brands that no one had ever heard of.
We just had one beer each and this was our last here and headed else where instead, the beer tasted cheap and had more of a chemical after taste to it.
From where we where standing at the bar l could see a constant stream of customers coming to the bar as the service was slow some complaining that they had waited an hour for their main courses after having their starters.
Not one member of staff was welcoming in fact they where giving a cold reception, never seen so many un happy staff in one place.
One of the guys that was in our group who was local said that this bad was more for tourists and locals didn’t even come here any more.

An olde world pub in a lovely setting — Julia S described it beautifully in her previous review over two years ago & it seems that (in a good way) not much has changed. Friendly clientele, a roaring fire & the wheat beer is lovely.

The Cramond Inn isn’t quite loyal to its namesake. By that I mean it’s no longer an inn. I was told it was back in the day (this place is over a hundred years old), but that now it’s just kept the name for the sake of it. Another bit of info I got from the bartender (who’s been working there with her husband for 7 years) is that the outside hasn’t changed since the olden days.
There are relics of its old age in photos around the pub. These photos sport push-​bikes, horse-​drawn carriages and then some of those sweet old cars from the automobile’s toddler years.
The inside’s huge and painted a deep reddish brownish colour. There might be a name for this colour. Maroon, possibly? It’s the same colour as my kitchen. It’s a colour that brings me warmth and comfort. But what really really brings me warmth and comfort is the fact that it’s a Sammy Smith’s pub. For all y’all who don’t know what that means: it’s very simple, really. All their beer on tap is by the Yorkshire based brewery, Samuel Smith’s. To all ye beer aficionados out there: they sell it cheap! And there’s one helluva range.
I took my family there and so we decided to get a range of beers. Six pints at the bartender’s recommendation: we got a wheat beer, a stout, a dark ale, a lager, a cider and probably something else I can’t quite recall. It was real delicious.
The Cramond Inn might be a bit out of the way (ok, so it’s really outta the way), but you’ll get your moneys worth there. Just hop on the 41 to Cramond and get off at the second to last stop. Go for a wee wander around the village and then go grab some grub at the Inn.

What a lovely pub. Old, quaint and cosy. I’ll admit the food is nothing special, but for pub grub it ain’t bad and the prices are reasonable. You could tell this place is really popular– it was packed with families young and old– this is the sort of place you could bring your granny as well as a baby. The perfect Sunday afternoon = lunch at the Crammond Inn with a leisurely walk along the waterfront. Nice.

Popped in to the Crammond Inn for a pint after a walk along the Almond, The beer prices are excellent as with all Sam Smith Pub, there is also a great selection, the only down side being the lack of handpump beer. But then again at the prices they charge I can just about cope with that. The food menu looked to be the traditional grub, but we didn’t try anything. Overall a nice little pub with great location, which is well worth a visit.

The Crammond Inn is a pub that sells well priced meals to suit all tastes. The pub is situated up from the little harbour and is a mere five minutes from Crammond itself.
The drinks are supplied by a little brewery called Samuel Smiths, and even though it’s not a well known brand the drinks taste as good as the leading brands, as verified by my father in law who has a liking for the dark bitter.
The food is prepared for you, which does mean a slightly longer wait than you would have at your local Wetherspoons, however the Crammond inn is far better in comparison.
Due to the popularity of the pub meals, I would advise to book in advance by phone.

The Cramond Inn is a traditional pub situated in the village of Cramond, to the north of Edinburgh.
Cramond is on the shoreline of the Firth of Forth and the pub is very old and is filled with locals and people who drive here on a fine day.
The pub is traditional and has a large bar and two main dining areas with smaller areas more suited for drinkers.
The pub sells a traditional Sunday lunch which is quite expensive and sadly was not to my taste when I tried it due to the roast beef being very tough. Perhaps I had a bad day however!
The pub sells Samuel Smith ales so you may not instantly find a brew you like but the informative staff will help you find the ale you are after.
The pub has a pretty garden you can sit in on fine days and enjoy the view over the Firth of Forth. There is also a large car park.
If you want to get out of the city centre of Edinburgh, this pub is definitely worth a visit and the views you get on a fine day are fantastic.
It is also a very child friendly pub so don’t worry about bringing all the family here.
