Whilst I'm not really a fan of the company, The Macbeth Moir in Musselburgh was a welcome break for breakfast. The staff were rushed but very friendly. The food was good and exceptionally cheap. I don't know how they do that. Breakfast rolls and coffee for 5 people was £21. The coffee albeit from a machine which is never great, was ok and £1.04 for multiple refills. The place is starting to look a bit tired but is far better than it was 20 years ago, the last time I visited. If you want a decent breakfast and all you can drink coffee. It's great.

Having been to David Macbeth Moir a number of times this year, I have been disappointed with the staff. There have been a number of occasions when they have been of them chatting while several customers were waiting to be served while one of their colleagues was serving. This included members of the management staff. Having worked behind bars, I know that the customers should always take priority, and the management team should always promote this even if it means they have to serve.

Great food, great prices. We usually go on Friday evenings so it can be busy, but if there's 2 folk at a tabe for 4, they're likely to move to a table for 2 for us when asked politely.

This used to be the place to meet when I lived in Wallyford a few years ago. Myself and some old friends have all moved about since , so we all thought it would be good to go there for old time's sake and catch up. It was awful. - Smell of dirty grease and bad language from the open kitchen. - Disinterested bar staff. - Loud lecherous old drunks - who could do with a good scrub - pestering us with their dirty talk. - Girls snorting drugs in the upstairs toilet - Younger drunks having heating arguments on the stairs After less than 30 minutes we decided we'd had enough and went along the Courtyard @ The Ship Inn, which was lovely. I don't know if this place is under different management now or what - but I can safely say that we will never be back.

It was a quiet Thursday evening when we popped in for a drink. There were tables free however they were all either dirty or full of empty plates and glasses. There were staff available and we were served in good time. We cleared a table and sat down opposite the bar. I was dismayed to see no attempts to clear the tables despite there being at least 3 sometimes 4 staff members in the bar area . One member of staff was continually looking at her phone . There was no urgency to get the place looking presentable. The only person working around the bar area who seemed to have pace was a young male. Only when the lady on the phone left did the other staff seem to "up their game". It was a really disappointing visit with the exception of the good value for money.

One of many Wetherspoon locations. A big plus for the interesting decor - it is a characteristic feature of this chain. Great idea! :) Unfortunately, the atmosphere is spoiled by dirty, sticky tables and seats. It's a pity that this is the case. I visited many Wetherspoon stores across the UK, some of them were clean and well-kept. (So you can...) I come back to them with pleasure. Unfortunately, "The David MacBeth Moir" cannot currently be included among them. It's a pity because the food was tasty and fresh. Attractive prices. Nice service. I do not agree with people's opinions that since it is cheap here, we should take this state of affairs into account. Places where food is served should be clean and well-kept - regardless of the prices! That's my opinion. I hope that the owner will take care of the cleanliness, which will encourage many people to visit this place repeatedly. Maybe more people should be hired? Regards

I like the fact that you can think and chat without straining to hear cos theres no music being played. Like all spooneys there a decent menu. I had a chicken jafrezzi naan n poppadoms n a pint Guiness £10.04pence - bargain. It can get very busy be warned - great place though.

Standard Wetherspoons fare in a nice setting. On a warm day it's worth seeing if you can sit outside in the small garden area. I've been here several times and although it can get very busy, the staff are incredibly hardworking and pleasant.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Me and my family came here for a meal. We ordered a gammon steak, a mixed grill and a chicken boneless basket. The mixed grill was missing a sausage and the chips were burnt on the outside and hard in the middle. The gammon steak was undercooked and the chips were also burnt on the outside and hard in the middle. The chicken bites were also undercooked and very squishy. Soon after arriving home my brother who had ate the chicken bites was feeling very poorly and then vomited. Please fix this guys!

Popped in as we were in Musselburgh for day. We chose to go to Wetherspoons and was not disappointed which I have been few years ago. Although short of staff they were extremely efficient and pleasant. Food was served at clean table too. Would definitely return. I noticed a bad review about drunks but this is a pub/restaurant so understandable. Staff an asset.

When i went over to ask for blue roll she was still laughing and spoke to me in a condescending manner. When she later came over to give us our drinks, my pal asked her is she say him spill the drink and said yeah she laughed about it. Not really good customer service, if that was me at my job I would have went over with blue roll instantly to help the customer.

Shocking experience. Came here for a couple of pints and some food after a long day at work. It Was fairly busy with the table I chose not yet cleared from its previous occupants. Dirty and full of dirty plates and glasses etc This was absolutely fine as they weee busy and perhaps hadn’t noticed the table needed cleared. So I ordered my drink to the table from the online app. When The barmaid arrived at my table with my drink i asked her if the table could get cleared please She said rather abruptly and like it was a nuisance to her, need to get someone else to do it as I’m serving drinks only, to which I replied ok can you get someone to do it please. She didn’t answer. I waited and waited very patiently and I’m now really hungry but not wanting to order food and eat from a dirty table amongst all the clutter. So I ordered another drink hoping the table would be cleared the next time a staff member served me my drink. Same barmaid came to the table with my drink this time not speaking at all and you guessed it just walked off leaving not clearing anything again. I proceeded to drink my 2nd drink still hopeful I was going to eat some food on a cleared, clean table but after 1 hour I gave up hope and left hungry, bemused and feeling rather perplexed about the whole experience. With this establishment being a Wetherspoons I’m not expecting 5 star service etc but surely a very minimum level of service and cleanliness can be expected and attained. ☹️

Dear oh dear what has happened to this pub? We have been here many times and enjoyed great food and drink but on this occasion were shocked by the state of the place. Dishes were piled high on more than a few tables and we had to clear a table onto another one already creaking with soiled dishes and clean our table with spray we found lying on a seat and a serviette. We did stay for some food and drink but when approaching the bar to place our order and awaiting our turn to be served, the barmaid just randomly served the first person she spotted, obviously no queuing system is in force. We watched the progress of the clearing of the tables and after approximately 30 minutes the clearing began. Our food although hot was of mediocre quality. There did appear to be a shortage of staff but this should not affect customer experience or the cleanliness of the premises. We travelled a long way to visit this pub but will have to think twice about returning.

Don't know what's happened here since my review last October we had the mixed grill again, the steak had a huge chunk of gristle which I cut off then it bled onto the plate I had asked for it pink! My husbands was the same so sent them back, when the meals were returned the steak was the same one that I had cut which is fair enough but it, along with all the other meat had been almost cremated & was tough & dry & both meals were the same absolutely awful. We have been staying in the area for 3 weeks & haven't been back & I doubt we will next time we're here.

We’ve been many times as a family but I’m guilty of not ever having left a review. There’s nothing I can negatively criticise. Location atmosphere staff friendliness and knowledge all excellent. The food was excellent from the veggie options to the rest. I had the best breaded haddock ever and I’ve eaten a lot of fish in my time. All 6 of us were very very happy. The chef mingles and Ann was on top form being her usual friendly but professional self. The other staff were very attentive and friendly too.

Where to start. First the elderly lady behind the counter didn't won't to serve us or anyone for that matter, so a man took over. The large breakfast my husband ordered was no bigger than my small one, both breakfast were luke warm, and the drinks barely hot. Apparently they aren't allowed to sell the meals to hot? if this is right they should install a microwave somewhere so the customer can heat there own own meals.
