Rugby-mad proprietor and former club rugby prop Graham Blaikie has been trying his best to cover the Six Nations at his Mercat Bar and Restaurant in Edinburgh’s Haymarket. ”We’ve shown all the matches live, rucked every maul, kicked every ball,” he proudly claims. Now he’s getting ready to scrum down for the climax – Super Saturday 16 March 2013.
”We’re planning a big fan finale all-day blow out for the finale,” he says. ”All the rugby, food and fine ale you could want.” On offer are all three matches, three courses of dining – one course per match – and two pints of cask ale – all for £20.
Graham intends that fans sit down to their starters with Italy-Ireland in the afternoon, have their second course with Wales-England in the evening and finalise the fayre with France against Scotland at night to round it all out. Graham invites you to join him at the Mercat Bar for a day of ales, great food, and rugby.
Booking is necessary on 0131 225 8716, or email info@mercatbar.com.
