Roderick Holly

Journalist — Edinburgh food and drink businesses, reported from the trade side: anniversaries, openings, expansions, price news.

Listed with the critics and writers in Edinburgh.

Roderick Holly reports under his own byline for the Edinburgh Evening News, National World's Edinburgh daily. His Oink pieces of May 2025 are the only place the business's own numbers are on the record with a reporter's name attached: the 1999 pig price crash it was founded off, the homemade roasting oven, the 14-hour roast, the shop-opening years and the 30 staff.

No reviews or picks captured yet.

Nothing here yet where they gave a verdict of their own — anything below is coverage they wrote, not an endorsement.

Pieces they wrote about these places.

Reporting, openings and roundups. Kept for the trail, and not read as their endorsement — a writer relaying someone else's award is not recommending it.
