A popular food influencer who made a stop off in Edinburgh was left 'lost for words' after sampling a city centre spot.

Matt, who runs Food Review Club, made a visit to Mr Boney at Edinburgh Street Food (ESF). The eatery specialises in slow cooked beef served on the bone in a sandwich.

He branded the spot a 'giant', adding that he had 'waited all his life to eat it'. Mr Boney opened in December 2023 at ESF and has been a firm favourite since.
