Imma's Artisan Gelato in East Lothian

We turned up for our booking and they didn’t have a table available. “You must have booked the beer garden, we can set up a heater” they offered. It’s December 29th and we don’t book the beer garden No apology, We went to Zitti next door and had a lovely lunch.

Oil and balsamic vinegar bottles just plonked on table should be served in dip bowls - I asked waiter if dish I wanted would be covered in a sauce - he convinced me it would’t but it was completed drowned in sauce - not happy!!

Can't say enough good things about this hotel. Room was nigh on spotless and very fresh looking so I'm guessing was refurbed quite recently - I hadn't looked at photos before booking so I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. The bed was really comfy and the shower was great. The temperature of the was perfect too despite it being a cold night. I didn't have dinner but the cooked breakfast was really good and the portions were generous. I couldn't think of a way to improve it. The man with grey hair I spoke to on the phone and on reception was very pleasant. I don't know if he's the owner or a member of staff, but if he's staff then the owners should know how good he is. Location is good as is only a 5 minute walk from the train station, has a car park and is right on a main road so easy to find (but not noisy). Price was reasonable, too. All in all, 10/10.

We went to the Prestonpans shop today for a few baguettes before we started wrapping christmas presents. We always buy BLT baguettes and a Mexican burger or similar and a few scones. Apparently they don’t sell hot food anymore or so we were told and we ended up with cold bacon strips. It was disgusting. Never thought I’d say this about the filling station as I’ve always gave it as a recommendation and held it in high regard in the past. I cooked my own bacon to put on the baguettes in the end but at £4.80 a time I was rather disappointed. No scones left but I could accept that. I am not sure of the reasons for the no hot food thing, is it to do with a licence or what? Just doesn’t have the same feel to it either. Maybe it’s changed hands? Anyway, we are from further up the country and sadly we won’t make the trip again.

Quite honestly this is the best pizza I’ve had in years! Our first visit and so glad we live locally as will be back many times I’m sure. Can’t fault the pizza - lovely thin crispy base, very generous toppings, perfectly seasoned and quite simply delicious. And very reasonably priced too. Only a few tables if you want to eat in so probably best to book, especially for larger groups.
