Big Slope is in a kind of funny place, stuck right between the West End and town, but this doesn't stop it from being pretty busy most of the time.

It's a great place to come for a drink any time of year - on sunny days the beer garden catches many hours of sunshine; in the winter there's a lovely fire to crowd round. However, the main reason I usually come here is the food. It's really, really good. The menu's not huge, but there's something for everyone on it, and notably quite a few veggie dishes. The super-thin based pizzas, grilled halloumi in a burger bun and butternut squash curry are worth mentioning, and the salad is always drizzled with the most beautiful tasting balsamic vinegar. And don't get me started on the puddings... rich, huge portions, brilliant comfort food.

For me, the only downside to this bar is the taxidermy... but the rest of the decor is lovely and it's easy to avoid looking at the dead stuff when the handsome James McAvoy lookalike is working! Mmmmm.
