Beetroot Bar & Grill in Midlothian

Well, I couldn't have imagined last years Christmas lunch could have been beaten but WOW....had the most fabulous meal from the Christmas set menu this week and it truly was exceptional! Presentation and flavours were beautiful. As always the service and atmosphere were also superb👌

We had a lovely lunch at Beetroot, the food was delicious and the staff were very polite, attentive and accommodating. I would highly recommend and look forward to returning in the near future.

Excellent meal. Menu is good and the staff are friendly, polite and knowledgeable. On a side note why do the staff not have a uniform (polo shirt) where the pub logo could be displayed. Scottish Gastro Pub 2024.

We had not been to Beetroot for some time but we like the fish and chips so went for lunch a few weeks ago. We were pretty disappointed with the food. We ordered a garlic bread with rocket and parmesan shavings, but it came with no rocket and the parmesan was like the type you get out one of those shakers - it wasn't fresh. The spring rolls were ok. The biggest disappointment was the haddock and chips. The fish was cooked badly. Oil too hot so the batter was overdone but inside it was spongy. The fish itself was fine but I left most of the batter and no one even asked if the food was okay. We didn't complain and should have but we just won't go back. It was £55 for lunch and we didn't have any alcohol so an expensive lunch for the quality.

Ok for families and casual snacks. Man in charge has no people skills. 13th August, early evening. Would not recommend for anyone wanting a special time.

Great bar/restaurant, visited the Beetroot a few times over the last month as had relatives over from Australia. Food was excellent and always hot, we were a large party and everything came out together and hot. Staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is a bother. Reasonably priced as well. Good menu which caters for all tastes and good drinks selection. Would definitely recommend.

Having successfully completed a major project I took my team out as a small thank you. There were 5 of us and we arrived around 1030h for breakfast. We were greeted by the very .lovely Amy, who promptly seated us. She was polite, friendly and attentive. She took our drinks orders, then our breakfasts. We all opetd for the full Scottish at under a tenner each. The meal was fabulous, well cooked, piping hot and presented on high quality flatware with good cutlery. The sausages had a delicious crisp outer, the bacon was well done but not hard, the mushrooms were served in a wee bowl with chilli oil. The eggs were perfect, accompanied by a slice of chunky bread, haggis and black pudding. Beans finished it off brilliantly. The teapot was quirky and delightful. Alison, the owner was not only beautiful but very charming with it. She was involved in the serving of our meals and chatted to us as she served us, making us feel more than welcome. Five breakfasts with assorted lattes, cappuccinos and teas was under £70 so very reasonably priced too. I left a well deserved tip and Alison kindly let me know that the full tip always went to the serving staff, so very ethical too. My colleagues were all as suitably impressed as I was. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and the only shame is that my time in Bonnyrigg is over, and I dearly wished I'd found The Beetroot sooner.

I visited the beetroot and ordered the fish&chips when it came the fish was very well done.my friend ordered the veggie burger and wasn’t happy either.we sat for 30 mins didn’t even get asked how the food was or if we wanted another drink.I didn’t want to complain but I didn’t even want to pay for my food it was that bad that I had to get food later on to eat. Will definitely not be back i used to go there a lot but it’s definitely changed now. I hope this could be fix as it’s a shame. Thanks

Visited with a good friend and was certainly looked after. Staff could not do enough to help you. Food was delicious and great value for money. Coffee went down well too. Looking forward to going back with my family to sample the selection of beers.

Great food and service. 12 of us thoroughly enjoyed it and then had drinks with entertainment in their bar after. Brilliant!

Really lovely restaurant , I come here often for breakfast or dinner food is always 10/10. big portions and good priced. Staff are always lovely and very attentive

Food was fantastic. Staff were very friendly and catered to our needs. Food was served quick and hot. Traditional haggis meals available. Very clean and welcoming. Would highly recommend and will definitely return again.

Food was lovely nice place to eat and catch up . Went at the back off 6 for meal and drinks and catch up with friends. Staff member came up to us and another couple that was in and said that last orders as were shutting early . We were taken aback as we’re up for a good catch up and had only been in a couple off hours .Was disappointing as we as a good couple off hours than was due to close .

Been several times and service is always amazing and the food is fantastic, dont normally do reviews but totally warrants one, thank you again and see you soon, cullen skink soup omg out of this world

Outstanding! We went here for my wife's surprise 40th with family. I cant get across how helpful the staff and owners were. They even went as far as putting up banners and balloons for our arrival to save me the trouble. It's a very nice relaxed atmosphere and very stylish inside and lovely seating arrangements from booths, tables and even couches if your just in for a cuppa and a catch up. The food is absolutely amazing,well priced and what you get on your plate you are not disappointed. The chicken wings need a shout out for themselves they are class👌

im going to be honest i dont remember a thing from when i went except the chicken wings are amazing 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Just visited Beetroot for a Christmas lunch. Wow!! Hard to describe what an utterly outstanding meal we were served by friendly, professional and just generally lovely staff. The 3 course Christmas meal was so so deicious. Undoubtedly the tastiest traditional turkey main course we have ever tasted. Fabulous surroundings and a real festive atmosphere. Thank you 😊

Excellent early Christmas meal tonight with my Mum and 2 friends. The service from start to finish was excellent - always checking if we needed anything else and if the food was as expected. The food was fabulous. Fresh, hot and really lovely. Had a burger, 2 steak pies and a fish and chips and all were great. Desserts were also really lovely. So good having a lovely, welcoming restaurant so close by. Looking forward to our next trip to Beetroot. The staff were also great at telling us what was on at Bannoc too in terms of bands playing etc which was good to know for upcoming nights out we're planning. Great job Beetroot ❤️

I was taken for afternoon tea for my 83rd birthday on Wednesday 29th November and was very disappointed the one in th e picture looks lovely the sandwiches in our were ham which was hanging over the side of your sandwiches and my friend and I had no idea what was in the others I tried one and print know if there is was egg in it all.I could taste was salad cream The scones were lovely but the cakes were out of packets nothing like on your display. I have had many lovely meals in the beetroot a wee bit finesse in the serving of our afternoon tea would have been appreciated

Great service staff so friendly, made very welcome , had chicken burger was delicious big portions with chips and salad .My friend had steak and ale pie such good portions My first time time visit definitely be going back soon

Our walking of 16 people turned up announced at Beetroot and were met by two very pleasant members of staff who were able to accommodate us and moved tables together. They were very efficient and in no time we had our hot drinks (a couple had a beer) cakes and scones. Being a wet afternoon we were very pleased to be indoors for a break. It will be on our list again when we finish a walk in Bonnyrigg.

Superb friendly, efficient and quick service for a large group of 16 who walked in unexpectedly on a damp, cold day. Service couldn't have been better and we were made to feel so welcome. Would definitely return when back in the area.

This place is local for me but we tried it for the first time yesterday evening. Excellent food and very friendly staff. We will return.

Excellent meal, food really delicious and good value. Friendly and efficient service. Relaxed atmosphere. Most enjoyable.

Service and food was excellent would recommend in will definitely be back. Had the belly pork and my partner had the steak in the both where great 👍

Fantastic food. I’d prefer a smaller portion myself (as you just can’t leave half on the plate as it’s just too tasty :-), but you certainly get plenty of food for the price. Chicken and leek pie was particularly tasty this trip.

Had a fabulous meal with my partner at the weekend, lovely atmosphere and great service. Finished our night of next door in the bar bannoc, definitely be back.

Had a few meals at Beetroot and they have all been lovely. The staff are very friendly and helpful too.

Cullen Skink was absolutely the best I've had & told them so! Had some friendly banter with our server about available gin and "rated" the cranachan--told him it didn't have as much whisky as mine did!

Stopped by for a pint and stayed for three and some lunch. Good selection of drinks and an interesting food offering. I didn't want a full meal but a nice bowl of mushroom soup and a dish of rather nice haggis fritters hit the mark....

Very nice food and staff are very accommodating. A lot of options to chose from. Highly recommend a trip to beetroot.

Food, staff and atmosphere all 10/10. Lost for choice on menu so will need to return to try everything that I missed lol. Will be back. Thanks again.

I just googled where is good for vegan food in Midlothian - Beetroot came in the top 10. I strongly disagree. I met a friend for brunch & ordered the vegan burger with fries & salad. First I was told the coleslaw isn’t vegan -...

Great food, friendly service and atmosphere. They also have Menebrea on draught here so that’s a win for me on a personal note. Recommend you give it a try.

Highly recommend this amazing place. Always have the freshest of food and nothing is a problem service wise to the staff, always friendly. Very child friendly. Advise everyone to try here, my family always come here.

Very disappointing. Slow service. Dry burgers. Burnt chicken goujons and pre-made mojito. Even the caramelised onions were cold and from a jar I think. Not encouraged to go back at all. Surprising after reading such positive reviews

The best burger I have had in years. Absolutely incredible. Amazing friendly staff. What a place. Will be back for sure 2

Stopped in for a late lunch today randomly and really glad to have stumbled upon this place. Had the steak ciabtta along with the skin on fries and beetroot coleslaw, my mate had the haggis burger...both couldn't rate the food any higher. Friendly staff too!

I was here for the first time for my Niece birthday and couldn't fault it they even dressed the place for her and the food was lovely and very reasonably priced and the female waitress was very accommodating finding another seat for us as a...

Visited for lunch and a pint before the football. Lovely friendly atmosphere in a comfortable layout, a good selection of food and very helpful service. Staff were great. Additional bonus was that the toilets were spotlessly clean. Can't fault it, and will certainly return.

Service was shocking, Beetroot was not busy and it took forever for a drinks order to be taken and finally once it was they were poured and sat on the bar for a good 5 minutes while the staff walked past them multiple times.

We enjoyed a great lunch with super service from Lindsay and would return next time we visit Scotland. Portions were healty tasty.

Popped in to this restaurant for some dinner pleasantly met by a female staff member who guided us through the food and drinks menu Food from start to finish was excellent good pub grub as I would call it and we weren’t disappointed Great food...

Had dinner and drinks for 3 adults and one child. Service was excellent, food very good and the children's menu was just right. The cost was also very reasonable. Very nice atmosphere and clean. Will definitely be back.

Booked dinner for 4 adults 2 teenagers - could not fault the food. Service is slow. Waitress was ignorant, unhappy and didn’t pay attention to anything. Asked one of the teenagers for ID for a blackcurrant and lemonade. After serving food, 1 bottle of wine,...

Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Food was as usual superb. Great service and not expensive. Will be back.
