Brasserie at the Maitlandfield House in East Lothian

Meet my friend here regularly for coffee. We are always made welcome and they serve lovely coffee. All covid restrictions adhered to

Lovely hotel, with plenty of car parking. Coffe lounge spacious and comfortable, with helpful Owner and staff. Worth a visit!

Probably good. Don't know. Never went.

I had the fish and chips with peas And salad was amazing so good I would recommend this place inside has a rustic look

My husband and I had a gorgeous meal. It was very tasty and perfectly cooked. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I would thoroughly recommend eating here.

I've been here a few times and it's always been a real pleasure. I had one of the nicest steak pies when I was last there. Time to go again. :-)

Friendly staff. Comfortable surroundings. Excellent food.

Fabulous for meals, cream teas of even just coffees, welcoming staff

Really nice place and friendly staff will definitely recommend

I like a good Scottish pie and this one was lovely. The meat was tender and it had the right amount gravy too. I really enjoyed it. The choice of wines but the glass was good too. The dessert was average but the pie was so good I’ll be back again.

The food we ordered wasn’t what was on the menu, one poached instead of two, portobello mushrooms were small sliced salty we think from a tin never portobello mushrooms. Baggle was so hard I couldn’t eat it, i had to remove the filling and eat it on it’s own. The service was very slow. Definately wouldn’t return or recommend this Brasserie.

Dinner was lovely, food was piping hot and very well presented. We will be back soon to sample more delicious dishes.

My friend and I pre booked afternoon tea in the brassiere. Our table was beautifully set and awaiting our arrival . We were handed a menu and asked to make our selection of sandwich fillings and bread. (Gluten free included) . The staff were friendly and very attentive and the place was fairly busy for a Tuesday afternoon. Wow! We were not disappointed.The afternoon tea was beautifully presented . Full selection of very freshly made sandwiches, chocolate brownie, lemon drizzle,shortbread topped with fresh fruit and to top it off huge fruit scones with lashings of chant illy cream. Tea or coffee was also topped up by the lovely Paula. The Maitlandfield house hotel has been around for a long time but under this new ownership... things are looking good . A fantastic relaxing afternoon was had.

After a long absence we had an excellent meal at the Brasserie. Vegetarian choices available and the best Sticky Toffee ever!! Will definitely be back.

Vegetarian and allergies very well catered for. Not a lot of staff around. Nice comfy sofas to relax on before hand.

Reservado aquí para un almuerzo sorpresa y qué gran decisión. Encantadora bienvenida por el personal recién y servicial. Recomiendo empezar eran muy buenas croquetas de salmón tan bueno! Platos principales fueron carne escocesa con toda la guarnición y pescado eglefino y patatas fritas. Los peces se evapora muy agradable. Por supuesto, las chicas y luego tuvimos los budines. Volveríamos en un santiamén

Food and service were exceptional . Would recommend a visit and will definately return .

Our large group enjoyed a delicious pre-Christmas lunch in the Brasserie. A good variety of tasty dishes, including gluten free options, lovely table decorations, friendly service and excellent value for money. We'll be back next year!

Been there SOOOOO much with family and always get good food, service and atmosphere. Love the fish and chips, steak and chips and veggie burger and chips. So yeh, would reccomend.

Hi went Maitland field brasserie and was warmly welcomed by nico, we found the food and the service by the two young waiters first class will definitely be back well done guys

Visitamos el restaurante Brasserie por primera vez para el almuerzo. Un entorno agradable, deliciosa comida y buen servicio amable.

Tipici piatti locali e buona birra caratterizzano questo ristorante, che è la scelta più comoda se alloggiate nell'hotel annesso. Personale gentile e prezzi nella norma.

Otro magnífico Domingo almuerzo en nuestro restaurante favorito Lothian del este. Menú pequeño pero perfectamente formada, hace que sea difícil elegir pero lo que recogida sabes que se cocinaba productos locales. El chef es un Rising Star. Y todo con un precio muy muy razonable...

8 oz Steak se convirtió en un pequeño pedazo de carne de pollo asado £22,50 por cama de repollo asiático era comestible, pero sólo. Nada notable. El desayuno era bueno, estilo buffet.

We visited Maitlandfield House Hotel to have a meal as a family, an annual tradition after Christmas. We checked the menu before booking and as there are 3 vegetarians in the family we had to be assured that there was a reasonable choice of food for them.When we arrived there was a nice welcoming fire blazing in the hall which we enjoyed before going through to the restaurant. We were surprised to find that there was only one couple dining there , which seemed a bit odd for a Saturday evening. When we received the menu we found that there was not a great deal of choice, especially for the vegetarians. The waiter did ask what we would like,but it seemed that it was a choice of burgers or macaroni cheese. Two of the group had steak,but there was no sauce. The fish and chips were nice and the chips were crisp and not greasy. There was a very poor choice of wine.and when the waiter brought the bottle it had been opened before checking that it was the correct one.The puddings were quite ordinary but the cheese board was good. The waiter was very nice and very helpful, but as an overall experience it was disappointing, especially it was an expensive meal for what we had

When we turned up for lunch we stood and waited for someone to confirm our booking. We waited. Two ladies got up to cancel their order because they had waited over 30 minutes for soup and sandwiches. Still we waited. The two ladies complained to the manager (He was having his lunch in the restaurant – but not waiting) he condescendingly waved off their protests. We cancelled.Another couple on their way out said that this would be their last visit. The poor young waiter was doing his best running the whole front of house by himself (and for all we know, cooking the food!) but this kind of service from a hotel brassiere just isn’t good enough. Perhaps the manager could have taken a more hands-on role given the situation, like stop eating lunch and start serving!

We booked this restaurant for Sunday lunch -family celebration, trying to escape from the busy festival atmosphere in Edinburgh for a change.The food was delicious, nice traditional dishes, game, locally sourced ingredients... everybody enjoyed it, specially the desserts. The restaurant has big windows overlooking the front garden of the hotel, very nice surroundings. The service was correct, but not very friendly. The place was practically empty and there was no background music, so the atmosphere was not great but despite all we really liked this place.

Just back from a meal at this restaurant.Hadn't been before and chosen on the strength of their Sunday lunch menu which includes a roast.The menu had something for everyone with starters including,unusually,pigeon.The roast beef didn't disappoint and the sticky toffee pudding was excellent.Service was friendly and price reasonable.

had a meal here last night, was really good! Very impressed at menu, from bar classics to posh nosh. Good quality filling meal, excellent presentation and a great friendly service from staff. My 3 year old son also enjoyed children's menu. Defiantly try this place out

Visited for a special family meal on the 18th December. The restaurant was very quite which was a shame as the food was so good, the place deserves to be packed.The food was beautifully presented, well cooked and delicious. The duck was especially good! If I had to be really picky the one fault which is a bug bear of mine was that not all our starters came out at the same time and there was quite a delay BUT it was handled very well and we were offered a complimentary drink as an apology.Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgable about the wines etc on offer and the Whiskies that the bar stocked and made our evening even more pleasant with his great manner and service. We will most definitely be back!!!

Quiet day when we were in restaurant. Lovely meal and service, good prices, and wine not too expensive. Lovely setting.

Three hungry golfers in Haddington. We had dinner here and were not disappointed. I had a generous helping of mussels: delicious. And the main course of sea bream was very tasty. But what really impressed was the polite, professional service. When we ordered a bottle of wine (good wine list) the waiter returned to apologise that our choice was not available. He offered, instead, more expensive wines at the same price as the one we had chosen. Nice touch.

we were visiting Scotland last year and we stayed in Haddington since I have relatives there. We tried most of the eateries in Haddington in the 3 weeks we were visiting. We liked the Maitlandfield which is set in a lovely grounds with nice gardens. The food was very enjoyable as I remember and the whole place had a friendly feeling. So much so the my fiancé and I will be married there this coming August in 2014. So my next review will much more extensive.

Went for lunch on Sunday, but we didn't have the set Sunday roast menu. Food was excellent, staff pleasant, and the dining room modern and clean.

The food was absolutely lovely and so were the staff, but they forgot my daughter's starter, and were very distracted by a big party in at the same time as us which meant that it took almost 2 hours for our meal to be served. We had ordered ice cream for our daughter's pudding but eventually we had to cancel because it was past her bed time and we had to go home. Although the staff were really apologetic and took off the cost of our drinks from our meal the length of time to serve 2 courses was a bit much. Having said that the food, when it did appear, was amazing. One of the best burgers I have ever eaten.

We did not want a large lunch so the Brasserie was the perfect. The staff were very friendly and helpful The tables were not too close together and the seating comfortable. The menu offered a good selection of bar food and when it was served it was excellent. The prices were very reasonable. We will be back

We just popped in here for a quick light lunch and thats exactly what we got. The selection was superb, the staff were very attentive and the ambience was perfect for a light lunch. The prices were extremely reasonable and the restaurant was immaculate.

An unexpected pleasure on the drive home from a day out on the coast roads. Great service. Great food. Cozy fire. And a very good booze and snooze deal for when you eat or drink too much. If you dine in the braserie, you can sleep it off in their lovely rooms from £30 per person.

table service in the evening and service was excellent. hot buffet for breakfast and a variety of cereals with fruit juice and hot drinks. no complaints and will definitely return

We have enjoyed dinner here and found the ingredients to be locally sourced of very good quality and cooked with care and attention. It was also very good value for money and served by helpful staff who were very attentive without being intrusive. We have already recommended it to friends and family. This is a family run hotel/restaurant who care about what they do and the service they provide. Something you don't find in many establishments these days.

From soup to sandwiches to a full 3 course dinner, we kept coming back for more. Every dish was excellent, even a 'simple' sandwich was made with tasty, quality ingredients and the care taken by the chef showed. Highly recommended.

Service is prompt and polite, the food is good but not brilliant, but is good value. Breakfast is a good hot buffet, but ask and they will cook fresh eggs for you

I booked afternoon tea here, prior to a funeral. We booked it, and arrived the next day.Staff were very nice, so helpful, and the selection of sandwiches, cakes, scones etc etc were superb.Surroundings were lovely and comfortable, with big armchairs and sofas.Thank you

We ate in the brasserie one evening whilst staying at the hotel. I had a garlic bread starter and a salmon and prawn main dish. Both were decent if unspectacular. The restaurant was almost empty and cold when we visited. The staff however were excellent.

I had one night's stay here. Late night dinner was very nice, even though the menu was somewhat limited; and breakfast was a dream.

Been in here for tea and scones plenty of times, friendly staff and great decor. The brasserie is nice too.

can thoroughly recommend the chicken dish with blaggis which I had, and my husband had the steak and ale pie, which he raved about. Both dishes were served hot and stayed warm througout as the plates had been heated.Cannot comment on the desserts, as we were full up after our main course.Served with very attentive staff, who were more than willing to go the exctra mile for you.

Didnt have a lot of choice on the menu, especially being a non meat eater. My sister ordered fish and chips and was given fish and potatoes. My other sister ordered a burger and it had mayonnaise on it (she doesn't like mayonnaise) however they were happy to take It back and replace with another one. Service was Friendly

We ate there on a voucher which meant steaks were on the list of available dishes and they were good, although served with Macdonalds type skinny chips.. I had fish and chips which was OK. Sweets, my companions had, were fine but I made the mistake of ordering a cheese board. One small piece of brie, a small melting blue cheese which had seen better days and a sliver of cheddar with four biscuits didn't hit the spot.The waitress was foreign and struggled with the drinks order, alleging beer was lager and that "Heavy" wasn't a term for dark beer! She did have "Best" she said which was, of course Belhaven lol She was pleasant enough though as was the chap who offered us coffee in the lounge. Not many customers there for a Saturday night and no atmosphere. All in all a pleasant place in nice surroundings but nothing to write home about.

What excellent value for lunch! Where else can you have lunch, from great home made soup and fresh sandwiches (beautifully presented too) to fish and chips and many other choices and including a soft drink FOR ONLY £5.00!!!Lovely surroundings, an oasis of calm in busy lives, this must be THE place to go - far superior to buying takeaways (and probably cheaper too!)Staff are always very friendly and efficient as well5 *

i cant agree with everyone here but i had the most delightful meal with all my family. the staff were freindly and the food was spectacular! 5 stars for me and would definetaly recomend!

My husband and I go to Maitlandfield House for a meal when we are celebrating special occasions. The restaurant is spotless, staff are wonderful and the food is out of this world. This restaurant needs a lot more recognition. We love it so much, we had our wedding reception here in June 2009.

Have been many times and with all our family where we've been given use of a private room. Everytime we've had excellent food and service at a very reasonable price.Definitely deserves the best hotel meal award that they won.Exceptional food and the best in Haddington by far.You will not be dissapointed by the high standards.

I attended this restaurant in August with a group of friends 3 of which had children with them. No problem with the service, although some of the steakas ordered were sent back due to not being cooked correctly, but we did receive an apology. Nice setting and staff were accomodating. The food was not good at all. I ordered soup which had 3 lumps of carrot, a lump of potato and stock. It was horrid, and when I left it due to it being inedible I was not asked why or if there was anything wrong. The food my friends had was not good either, cold and not cooked properly. This restaurant is trying way too hard and it has lost the basic principles of good food and local produce. Very dissapointing, and the menu is grossly overpriced and not good selection for the amount they charge.

This is a hotel trying to be a gastro-pub. The portions were mean and the food overpriced. My wife had the seafood linguine which had hardly any seafood in it. My 'steak' burger was similar to the hamburgers you get from transport cafes, the bun was a 10 pence job form tesco and the salad was meagre. About a £1.50 of ingredients for almost £11.00. And the chips came served in a stylish mug type contianer to hide the fact there were only a handful.The desert was advertised on the 'specials board at once price and for £2.00 more on the menu. Needless to say the bill arrived with the menu price. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and light. The staff were ok. We won't be going back, it felt like a rip-off and the quality is poor even for pub food.
