Cockatoo, 22 Millerhill, EH22 1RZ, Edinburgh

We stopped here for a pub lunch on Saturday. It looked like it might provide a cheap and cheerful meal. Unfortunately, it wasn't very much of either.

I wasn't very hungry so ordered one of the cheapest things they had on the menu - a baked potato with tuna and sweetcorn. But they had no tuna, so I chose a quarter pounder and chips instead for the same price (£6.95). My girlfriend had a half pound "homemade" cheese burger with chips as she was starving. It was only about a pound more, and was infintely better value for money. My quarter pounder was a thin, bland piece of meat (had been frozen presumably) in a cheap burger bun whereas the half pound burger looked amazing - big and chunky, definitely homemade and in a soft ciabatta bun. Unfortunately it didn't taste great - too oniony. I don't know why they bother having the rubbish quarter pounder burgers on the menu.

Overall, the menu was far too extensive - I reckon pubs should have no more than a dozen mains on the menu - a homemade burger, sausage and mash, steak pie, fish and chips, lasagne etc. Do a few things and do them right - don't try and please everyone only to leave everyone disappointed!

Good points - the service was very efficient and friendly and they have a big car park.

I heard so much great things about the Cockatoo and when I got there I realised everyone was right. It was lovely. The meal was gorgeous, I had the half chicken, very large potion. It is very friendly and the price is fine. I had no complaints so don't listen to these people who just aren't happy with anything in life!!!
