PULLED PORK lovers across Edinburgh are in for a treat as one of the capital's most beloved lunch spots celebrates a quarter century of roasting with its cheapest ever price. On Saturday May 31, the team behind Oink will be rolling back the years with regular-sized hog roast rolls for just £2.50, a price lower than when the business began at Edinburgh farmer's market in the early 2000s - and a roughly 70% discount on the standard price.

Co-founders Sandy Pate and Adam Marshall The much-loved Edinburgh institution, which earlier this month marked 25 years in business, is giving fans old and new a chance to join the celebrations in the tastiest way possible. Co-founder Adam Marshall, whose family farm in Berwickshire still supplies the business, said: 'This is our way of saying thank you, to the locals, students, office workers, and tourists who've queued at our counters, rain or shine, for the best part of two and a half decades. 'We thought long and hard about how to celebrate turning 25, and what better way than to serve our signature rolls at a price that gives everyone a bite of the nostalgia?' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Oink's famously simple offering, pulled pork rolls served hot with optional haggis, stuffing, crackling and sauces, has seen it become a cult hit. The shops serve thousands of customers each week, with visitors from across the globe making the pilgrimage to try the city's most photographed pork offering. Oink is celebrating 25 years by slashing its prices by almost 70% Co-founder Sandy Pate, who still farms just a few miles from Adam, added: 'We've been blown away by the reaction to our 25th year, and we know that in today's cost-of-living crunch, a roll for £2.50 feels like a proper treat. 'We can't wait to see the queues and the smiles, it's going to be a busy day, so we're urging people to come early, come hungry, and bring their piggy banks.' From humble beginnings at the Edinburgh Farmers Market, Oink's signature rolls quickly developed a following. Their first permanent shop opened in 2008 and has since expanded to three locations in the capital – becoming a must-visit for foodies and fans alike. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Oink roll has even earned international recognition, featured on the hit Netflix food show Somebody Feed Phil, and championed by stars including Radio 1's Greg James and foodie and comedian Ed Gamble. Despite the attention, the business remains fiercely independent and family-run, with Adam and Sandy still hands-on and proudly sourcing all pork from their own farms in the Borders. The one-day £2.50 roll deal is expected to generate huge interest, and with the rolls sold until they're gone, fans are advised to plan ahead. For those wanting to make the most of the deal, Oink's shops will open at 11am sharp on Saturday 31st May and will keep serving until the pigs run out – which, given past form, could be fast.

My Aberdeen: Foodie Julia Bryce shares her favourite city restaurants and memories of Tiger Tiger bus
Content creator and journalist Julia Bryce is well known as an Aberdeen foodie. Here are her top picks and favourite memories in the Granite City. I guess what makes Aberdeen so special is the access to nature. We have an incredible offering with both the beach and the Cairngorms on our doorstep. And not far from the city, there's the Newburgh Seal Beach where you can see puffins, whales go by as well as dolphins pods at the harbour. That's the part that I love the most about it – it's the nature and wildlife. It would have to be my Tiger Tiger, Pearl Lounge, Espionage days with my uni girls. We used to go out all the time. The Tiger Tiger bus was a moment – you had to be there to believe it. You would get on a bus outside of what is Jam Jar now, but it was Tonic then. And you would get a big bus down to Tiger Tiger. You'd be there with your long vodkas, then jump on the bus and be in Tiger Tiger till early morning. Then go to the casino for breakfast. It's so hard. My absolute be all and end all if anybody comes to visit is Maggie's Grill . This is the one place that to me is home. The owners and the team are so lovely. And I've never heard anyone say a bad thing about it. The food is just incredible, and the chicken tenders and St Louis ribs are amazing. It's the quality of the meat, the time that they take to smoke everything, and the passion that they all have which makes it one of my favourites. I love walking around and seeing all the Nuart. The street art tour is just wonderful in terms of getting you to think about lots of things at once. I'm quite a creative person so I love stuff like that. But I also love Johnston Gardens. Spring or autumn are my favourite times to go there because it is alive with colour. I've seen herons and a kingfisher there. I don't drink coffee – me and coffee don't agree with each other. So I usually go for a hot chocolate or a chai latte now that I'm being a bit more adventurous. I love Parx Cafe – that's my go-to in the city for meetings or grabbing a hot drink. It's my first year working for myself freelance, so I'm still trying to figure everything out. I've got a good feeling about 2025. 2024 was a big year for me: I won an award and I was on Netflix. So it's a hard act to follow. I've got some really exciting projects going on. I've been working with Shop Aberdeen and I'm an Aberdeen Restaurant Week ambassador. And there are some really lovely projects bubbling away. It's a mysterious, wonderful and exciting year ahead – but who knows, really!
