Polton Inn in Midlothian

Was once awesome .... but gone down hill since I last reviewed 4 years ago

Not a bad place however the bar lady did decide it's extremely neccessary to ring the last round bell extremely loud which really made the experience quite sour. Fully understand you need to make sure everyone hears it but hell it was a bit over the top.

Was just passing, went in for a drink, good selection of lager and ciders and a great outside area.

Ordered food and drinks. Drinks arrived quickly. When food arrived shortly afterwards it was piping hot , good portions and we'll presented. Good value for money. Hopefully, the lunch menu is available soon. Not very busy , so not much of an atmosphere.

There last Friday with 4 friends, first time but will certainly go back. Lovely hot food, we all had different meals, all were delicious, very reasonable prices and staff couldn't be more helpful. Nice clean surroundings as well.

Food very fresh and piping hot unlike most places you go to now. Good selection of beers and wines.

Great night out with great people

Love this place, food is amazing and the staff are so friendly 👍

Excellent food (excellent veggie burger & skin-on fries), friendly staff. I'm just not a fan of the sound of small kids on iPads without headphones. Nice place for locals to socialise.

Good local pub Keep things simple Don’t try to be too posh !!!!!

Just moved to the area and The polton is the new local. Had our first meal and cannot compliment the 2 young lads that were working that nice. Super friendly and attentive. Dog friendly. I’ll defo be back.

great night watching Scotland win in the rugby great food excellent service good ciders great crack

Great food and staff make you feel welcome lovely log fire nice and warm

Good food, nice atmosphere and reasonable prices

friendly place... Bit pricey on the alcohol

Lovely place great good and great staff

The food is awesome here, dirty steak fries and stick toffee pudding were unbelievably good! Really nice atmosphere to eat and drink.

Nice wee place, quiet but the folk there were lovely! Even the dogs were well received. Going back one day for food!

Monday and Wednesday bingo great laugh and great bingo caller ,very friendly pub staff great love the banter

Amazing pub, good food and atmosphere. Glad local is back open again

Great food, good atmosphere family friendly

First time here ,warm friendly welcome as we came in ,food excellent and good value ,burger and home made chips so nice and nachos too ,will be back again

Lovely wee pub with bar lounge and conservatorie for serving meals that are well price and we'll portioned and a small park for the kids

Have been in there many times over the years with no problems, went out for the 1st time in 2 years and was left very disappointed, food was no more than adequate, small portions, but the main thing was small children running riot most of the whole hour we spent there, we could not hold a conversation over the noise, neither the parents or staff nipped it in the bud, Won't be back

New owners trying to make it work doing great food amazing too

Very family friendly place, great hosts and the food is good although didn't rate the steak pie but everything else was perfect. The decor and lounge layout has been renewed and its looking really good. Happy to see this place open again and wish the new team all the success.

Very welcoming hosts. Good food although steak pie wasn't the best, short crust pastry which was quite hard however the filling was tasty enough. Very child friendly. We will be back again though

Excellent food friendly staff and atmosphere

Wedding lunch bride never got food till at least 30 minutes after guests, chocolate fudge cake dry and tasteless worst I've ever had

Nice pub and food Good area for functions

Nice friendly wee pub with good food

Just back from The Polton Inn for tea with hubby!! Had a starter each, main meal each and cappuccino each and all for under £35. Food was lovely, well worth a wee visit. Staff are very nice and friendly. Would recommend!! 😁😁👍👍

Meh! Average food but no a bad pint. Not a frequent enough visitor to comment on atmosphere.

Great night had step daughters 28th. Superb. Bar staff were tremendous

Yum. Really fabulous. Will be back.

Great food large servings. Little bit of a waiting time though.

Went for a meal Saturday 7/9/19 food was amazing as was the service first time being here in a long time and will certainly be back. Thanks guys keep up the good work.

Great food lovely atmosphere and excellent service

Staff are fab and the food is fab and cocktails are the best

Stopped for a couple of drinks on the way home. The staff are very helpful and friendly and there is good music on the telly. The prices are really fair....

Great night at the 80s night lovely staff

Friendly staff, good service reasonable prices.

We were at a wedding reception here recently! Oh my God it was brilliant!!! All the staff are sooo sound and friendly and just so accommodating! Food was gorgeous! Prices so good!!We will definitely be back.xx

Fantastic organisation by Carol and team. Had a 50th party in the lounge and I can't fault anything apart from.... The chap that spoilt things at the latter end! You know who you are! Your customers happened to be my family and friends, get over yourselves!

Good food good service and when entertainment on good night out

Had a lovely meal with the family food very nice and the staff were very attentive and friendly

Meal was very nice, very quiet but lovely surroundings in lounge bar. Would certainly recommend for some nice drinks among friends but not necessarily a night on the lash

Good service and excellent food

Christmas party was awful!! Worst DJ ever!! Definitely not worth the money. If you have your Xmas party booked here I’d suggest you try and get your money back and go somewhere else.

1st time in since the refurbishment. Wow food was awesome will definitely be back and soon . Highly recommend

Lovely wee meal, and good value for money. Bar staff are really nice too.

Good Food, friendly staff. Pub Quiz bi-weekly, alternating with Bingo.

I had to watch the football with some foul mouthed dude who was only in a foul mood cause he couldn't bring his child into the pub, then proceeded to complain how marijuana is illegal and how much he needed to smoke a bong.

Just been recently refurbished and wasn't expecting much when we decided to head there. Arrived and hit the bar area, place looked great, bar staff very friendly and helpful. Great setup for watching the football with a big TV. Restaurant area looks great as well, haven't sampled the food just yet but it's on the cards.

Not been to this establishment for a few years and was delighted at the changes, food was excellent, staff extremely friendly, even stayed for the bingo, would recommend this place to anyone

Excellent food and first class service. Burgers were delicious. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely shocking Burger was raw, roast dinner was dry and came with 2 potatoes 2 slices of carrot and microwaved mash, and dunken doughnuts were so hard u could smash a window will never eat there again totally shocking

Great venue, friendly staff, efficient, highly recommended...

A lovely place under new management, has enormous potential

Bloody great atmosphere. You have to see it to believe it on a Sunday afternoon asbsalutly fantastic. You will be shocked
