Villager

There is a time for fancy pants ingredients and fantoosh cooking techniques but winter ain’t it.

When the wind is wailing and the temperature dropping this is a time for comforting, familiar foods shared with a friend or your other half.

We’re talking fish ‘n’ chips. Preferably served with something which has a warming kick.

If you can stop your teeth chattering long enough, say ‘Howdie’ to today’s Big Deal on fish ‘n’ chips plus a drink for two at Villager.

Lovably eccentric

Bars come and bars go but Villager has been keeping it fresh on George IV Bridge since 2003.

The award-winning, Old Town cocktail bar and restaurant is lovably eccentric.

Great for people watching, it has two rooms decked out with a quirky mix of chandeliers, gilt-edged mirrors and hip hop/graffiti-inspired wall markings.

DJs and open mics keep the bar buzzing at the weekends.

Line-caught haddock

Available noon ‘til 8pm seven days a week, the offer is for two people to have fish ‘n’ chips plus a drink at Villager.

The fish is the finest line-caught haddock, dipped in the house beer batter and accompanied by thick-cut chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce.

For a drink, each guest is welcome to choose between a pint of Tennent’s, a small glass of house wine, a soft drink or one of the house cocktails.

Happy guests

Plenty of people have reviewed Villager on TripAdvisor. This recent review says it all:

‘Really nice place. Went here last week for dinner and drinks and was overall very impressed! Staff were friendly and helpful when it came to recommending a good cocktail… Food was well priced for portion size… Service was quick and attentive throughout and a good mix of locals and tourists from what we could see so overall a really nice atmosphere. Would definitely go back!’

Winter warmer

Will there be more snow bombs? Have we heard the last thunder snow? When can we pack the woollens away?

We know the answer to none of these questions.

But we do know how to bring light and cheer to a wintry week.

Book a date for fish ‘n’ chips plus a drink with today’s big Deal from Villager.

Take a friend. Take your other half. You could even throw caution to the wind and take a family member.

This is the tastiest way to make it through to spring.
