About us

Whilst working at the bank hotel on the royal mile, peter knight of halkirk & john tindal of airlie came up with the concept of “a room in…” bistro. they envisioned a place serving fantastic food without the hindrance of paying a fortune for wine or exorbitant corkage. a place where people would feel instantly relaxed and at home, whatever the occasion.

and so they opened up the first venue in 1996, a room in marchmont. the small scottish bistro, seating only 25 people, soon became extremely popular. realising their vision was viable & 25 seats not enough, they established a room in town in august 1998.

When first pursuing their vision, peter’s brother told them: “but you’re just a couple of teuchters!” and as they both hail from the north, the name stuck.

The business went from strength to strength, so the two highland lads went on to open the two venues still running today: teuchters bar & a room in the west end on william street in 2001 and teuchters landing & a room in leith on dock place in 2008.

Both bars have a traditional highland pub feel containing an extensive whisky list, a cracking selection of mainly scottish bottled & cask or keg draught beer, plenty wine, cider, soft drinks & gin. the food menus suit the relaxed atmosphere: mugs of haggis, neeps & tatties, cullen skink or haggis stovies alongside pub staples like burgers, hot dogs & pies.

As of 2021, both a room in… restaurants closed permanently to further expand both bars, teuchters landing in leith and teuchters bar & bunker in the west end.

what an amazing place! teuchters landing is for sure a proper scottish pub. super cosy place, fun decor, friendly staff and a very good selection of local beers, some of them brewed next corner. this is not to be missed, my friends!

We hadn't booked anywhere to eat and was recommended to call in for a drink whilst we walked round Leith. We found a seat and ordered an incredible meal! The atmosphere was great there too! They also have a massive selection of pretty much anything to drink!

Best fresh fish in Leith and maybe Scotland! Great pub on the water with you choice of beer cider, whiskey or whatever you may fancy. Staff is excellent, helpful and willing to explain the menu to this American. I had the Calamari and it was just caught and the best I’ve ever had. 10 stars to this great place!!!

Came here on a sunny day and loved sitting outside for our lunch looking over the canals. We didn't reserve but the large outdoor seating area was busy. The inside is really nice too. Our lunch of olives, calamari and chips was great. We especially loved the olives. The calamari was a little chewy but overall good. Service was efficient and friendly.

Great venue to celebrate a significant birthday. Lovely venue with nooks and crannies - there is a second building if the main one is full and lots of outdoor space. I would loved to have been there in the sun to see over the river. Food was really good and well priced for big portions. I'm not 100% into the order by App system: It's difficult to ask questions about the food. However, food came quickly and it was really nice. You can order drinks either by App or in person at the bars. Fish board and oysters shared between 2 is my recommendation.
