Home Kitchen in Midlothian

Spent over £30 and didn't even get free prawn crackers. Service is pretty poor. Every other chinese I have been to you at least get free crackers with it. Waited over an hour on delivery also. Very much disappointed

So disappointed. my enthusiastic son, Ibrahim raj suggested we try this place out and the food took atleast 50 minutes to arrive. On top of that he was almost certain an employees hair was inside of his pizza. Service was great but my devastated son was extremely tearful on his way home. Sad to say we won’t be back.

We've had a few visits to Elginhaugh, this time was for mum's birthday. Mum likes the carvery, I had Gammon steak, the others all had something different, everything was enjoyable with empty plates all round. Mum got some Carrot cake, for some reason Elginhaugh give XXXXL sized slices of cake, which is like a wee lottery win for mum, a wee slice for the next few days 👍. Elginhaugh isn't high dining, it's good food at a reasonable price. Could I get picky with some of the food,yeah probably, but mum enjoyed hers, and it was her birthday so all good 👍. Mum sometimes needs her wheelchair, which isn't a problem as everything is on the ground floor with easy access. I've no doubt we'll be back again. 4/5 🖖

There have been many changes since we last visited Whitmuir pre-pandemic. The farm food shop has gone and has been replaced by Junkshop Antiques (which used to operate from smaller premises on the site); The Dancing Light gallery apparently moved online some time ago and the vacant unit they previously occupied was due to be re-launched as a (Christmas) shop when we were there in November 2022. The café looks the same as before (minus the gallery’s paintings) but opened again under new ownership in September 2022 and now trades simply as Whitmuir Cafe. I’m glad to see the log burner remains in place as it is needed to try to keep this cavernous place warm at this time of year. Quercus Garden Plants still operate on the site however when we visited garden plants were not something we were looking to explore. At the time of our lunch visit there was a slow, steady flow of customers but these are large premises to fill so it lacked atmosphere. The menu choice is modest and we ordered up their Toastie of the Day, which was ham and cheese, served with house salad and dressing £6.95). My wife’s request to replace the sourdough bread with brown bread was met. I ordered a Bagel with chicken & lemon mayonnaise, also served with house salad and dressing (£6.25). We both enjoyed our lunch - the chicken was plentiful and tasty with the mayo, the toastie filling good quality and we both rated the house salad and dressing very highly. The only criticism was that the cutlery knives seemed blunt. The coffee we had along with the food was very good - Flat white (£2.95) and Americano (£2.60) - so we ordered another to go along with the home bakes both of which happened to be gluten free. My wife requested the smaller of the large looking slices of Treacle and Lemon tart on display, which turned out to be wise since she was unable to finish it; and I had an Almond slice which I too was unable to finish. Verdict on the cakes was “okay” however we have only rarely found a gluten free cake which we could say we really enjoyed so that is probably just our taste. Overall cost of lunch was just over £29 which we thought was good value. Staff were friendly and efficient. It’s early days for the revised format and not as attractive an overall destination for us however we wish them well. Check opening hours if travelling - seems to be Wednesday to Sunday, 10.00am until 4.00pm at present.
