    Not the first time we’ve been but it definitely won’t be our last! Staff are very friendly and service is great. As a family of 5 with 3 grown boys, there is plenty of choice on the menu and portion sizes are good. A winner in our book!

    Food, service and atmosphere were great. Can’t beat a poutine & a Moosehead! Delicious food, quick and friendly service without feeling rushed. A great place!

    Never had a bad experience, the food perfection, the staff friendly and welcoming, I asked about your special imported soft drinks I ended up drinking big red with my meal and took the Hawaiian punch away with me , one of the gentlemen was very enthusiastic to show me the "ranch drink "

    Great venue and vibes, especially if you like North American sports. Food was great as well - always love a poutine and it’s hard to find them here. Slightly expensive for what it was burger/sandos-wise; neither came with sides or fries that had to be ordered on top of, for a burger that was already £13… Mac of the Moment was reasonable though. Good sized portion especially for the price

    Took my daughter as we both love down the hatch, it's also kids eat free during school holidays ! I had the New York pastrami sandwich which was incredible!! My daughter had the kids burger and chips which i would have been happy with ! Might have helped her with the chips. Love Down the Hatch in both edinburgh and Queensferry. Highly recommended.

    We enjoyed a delicious meal and we were able to watch a live hockey game at the same time, which was great.l. Dairy allergies were well catered for, and the nut free establishment was reassuring for the one of us who has a nut allergy. We will be back! Thank you.

    Best poutine since I went to Vancouver! And best mac and cheese ever! The food was insanely good. And the playlist was perfect! The staff were super lovely. So worth coming out in the rain and treking to the other side of town for! Would recommend 🖤
