The Beaten Docket in Edinburgh, City of

Rude owner Lesley I believe her name to be complained about having lipstick on my glass she wasn't happy dirty toilets and the barmaid who looks like Meg griffin from family guy looks like she's on the game such a horrible and dirty pub rude staff

Will never go back to this Pub. The toilets were a mess. The owner was rude and unhelpful, and the staff were and not very friendly swept off the feet. Compare to the other pubs in Portobello, this one is ranked at the bottom.

Shocked to see conspiracy theory nonsense displayed in the window. The pub is not great anyway, but this is unacceptable

Bar clean enough Drinks/prices were reasonable/staff friendly Visited twice in different months Ladies toilets were a let down/put off! Although appeared clean enough with soaps, sanitizer, towels etc toilet seats were neither on nor off and could have caused someone a bad experience/accident. Seats were of cheap material and damaged to the effect it made the toilets look very unclean. Very off putting to anyone having to use them!! Therefore off putting on any return visits to the establishment.

Gran pub con buena comida a un precio razonable. Super amable y agradable personal y encantador ambiente hogareño. Bueno, comida fresca, buen ambiente y gente amable. Mi almuerzo fue encantador. Bien vale la pena una visita.

Just had fantastic food cooked by m.i.l.f. Really imaginative and tasty pub food, well worth a visit

Tasty food at amazing prices. Drinks also very reasonable. Great jukebox and dog friendly. Always a warm welcome.

Doesn't look too great from outside, but nice enough decor. Clean, and quick service, always a plus with kids! Went in for lunch with and thoroughly enjoyed it. Fish and chips was excellent, and the kids loved the mac cheese, and burger. Will go back.

Byone of the best places for a great fish & chips well worth the money lovely wee quiet place during day to eat & enjoy sharing your experiences, you're helping travellers make better choices and plan their dream trips. Thank you!

This is a wonderful place to eat. The food is plentiful & very tasty. If you are on a budget this is the place to eat. The staff are very friendly.

The Beaten Docket is in the middle of Portobello on the High Street and can't be missed, as it is opposite Bath Lane and Greggs that leads on to the promenade and beach. The tenants have a 15 year lease on this pub, which is owned by a gentleman from Belfast who is keen on horse racing and this is evidenced by various pictures around the pub. I believe that he owns race horses and the pub is named after so many lost bets (beaten dockets!). The menu has the usual favourites on it and I opted for a 6oz steak cheese burger with chips, salad and salsa at £5.95 which didn't disappoint. The chips are cut with the skins on, were very good and complimented the burger which hit the spot. It's a friendly, clean, well maintained pub that is popular with locals and it deserves to be ranked higher than it is on Tripadvisor. I would recommend it to anyone and would happily visit again.

Yet again a lovely tasty lunch ! Fish in batter fresh from the exceptional fish monger across the road. Never disappointed with the food and great service, love the chat!please do try if you're in the area. See you soon guys

Passed this pub often on the way to the beach/promenade etc but this was the first time we ventured in. Went in for Sunday Lunch and were impressed by the helpful and attentive staff looking after their various customers. Food was good too, nothing fancy just good honest plain fare........

Been here a few times now&hits good to see the quality is just as good as it was before,atmosphere in the place was very relaxed&felt comfortable too,didn't wait to long for orders to b taken&food arrived promptly&well presented,really enjoyed the food& good honest home cooked food,keep up the good work&don't change a thing,things are great as they are

Had an extremely tasty lunch today .Starters were haggis fritters in peppercorn sauce and a bruschetta. Followed by tasty , hot chicken curry. Great value and super service , attentive and fast. Lovely to se a pub selling such good quality food. Was impressed to see a couple of single ladies quite happily sitting having a quiet drink on their own. A shelf of books was there if you fancied a bit of a read with your meal. Not been before but heard good things and will so be back ! Thank you and see you soon.
