The Linton in East Lothian

Stayed overnight for wedding at Whitekirk but had a meal before , very tasty and service was great room was clean and tidy just perfect for a place to lay your head , had the corner room so it was a bit neat to get in but that didn’t spoil my stay breakfast was lovely and all staff very welcoming especially the young boy maybe one day now I’ll get a bus and come back for pudding

Lovely meal and great service. Asked for favourite stir fry no longer on menu.Chef was able to supply it and it was delicious. My husband had the breaded haddock was also very good. Prices are favourable when looking at menus of nearby restaurants. Service is first class. Staff are are a credit to the owners.

Arrived 1830 ordered drinks, waiter banged drinks on table, ordered food asked if we could have macaroni side dishes and were told macaroni came with chips? Food arrived after 20 mins burgers steak pie and chicken pie all great, portion of kids macaroni we asked for as side arrived a few minutes later cold! When waiter reappeared returned it. After plates cleared that waiter piled up on table and nearly dropped on my wife he disappeared, 10 mins later he returned and asked if we wanted to see dessert menu, again disappeared, about 20 minutes later another waiter appears to see if all was ok!! Still no order for dessert! We asked for the bill to be informed that the drinks had been removed. I good let down by untrained waiter

Took my 6 year old and my mother here for my mothers birthday. I had a fillet steak, cooked to perfection with all the trimmings. Mum had the seabass, loved it. Very large portions too and a decent price to top it off

The chips were to salty and weren't crispy enough my mum wasn't keen in the bread but I liked it other than that nice place x

Sad to say we wont be back and hopefully neither will the grey prawns. Two scruffy, maskless cooks kept wandering through the dining room - maybe a dozen times each. Not impressive. We ordered a prawn risotto and a medium rib eye steak. The rice was overcooked and the large prawns were undercooked. The steak was medium but over seared and tough to eat. The front of house staff were friendly Disappointed to have to write this.

The steak pie was perfectly cooked and full of tender meat. Freshly cooked chips and peas washed down with a pint of Belhaven. Friendly staff and reasonably priced. Well worth getting off the A1 for!

A short menu but good range of choice. They do pub grub, served very pleasantly and good and honest. Pie, fish, Mac n Cheese, steak. Between 6 of us we had 5 different starters and mains and we all had good food, fresh cooked and hot. Nice, friendly mature waitress who “knew the ropes” and made our evening enjoyable. All clean and tidy, easy Streep parking.

Unsurprisingly the steak is the star of the show here (I believe that the owner is butcher) although the veggie haggis was also excellent and apparently homemade. The burgers are very traditional, no bacon, blue cheese or pulled pork type toppings just well seasoned meet with the traditional addition of tomato and lettuce. There is a good range of well kept ales and the beer garden out that back is a little green oasis.

Was disappointed with the limited menu and could only have sirloin or ribeye steak.....wouldn't call it a steakhouse !!! Steaks were expensive for what you get and medium rare or medium both came out well done. Sorry but would not recommend to friends.

Had an evening meal here, I had a steak which was perfectly cooked and friends had the steak pie which they said was delicious and a very generous helping.

Absolutely wonderful lunch. Never disappoints. Pat Cairney offers a warm welcome and terrific food. Our waitress was his daughter and she was fab! Could definitely tell she was smiling under her mask! We will go back again soon.

Had a nice two nights stay in The Linton Arms. Breakfast provided was fantastic and set us up for our golfing. We had an evening meal one of the nights which was terrific. There was a mix up on my behalf when getting the room as I needed a twin and I believe most rooms are set up as double. We got the smaller of the rooms which was good enough for our base but there wasn’t a mass of space. Very friendly staff and a really nice atmosphere. I would stay here again.

Absolutely fabulous meal. Service was incredible. Felt like private dining. Service was great! Friendly staff and Pat Cairney made us feel so welcome. Picked us up and dropped us back home. Took care with our friend who is in a wheelchair. Going back in March for my birthday and can't wait.

Fantastic food, we all had steak, all different cuts and were cooked to perfection with lovely sides , lovely atmosphere and nice friendly staff. We all had a super night and look forward to returning

We were taken out to the Linton for dinner by a family friend having not visited there for a few months. This was the friend’s first visit there. We opted not to have starters as the portions are generous and I wanted to be able to finish my main course. We were asked if we wanted to eat upstairs or downstairs. We opted for upstairs as there were already some people dining there. Service was quick. We were shown the board with specials and also had the main menu to choose from. Two of the party opted for meals from the Specials. My mixed fish in a pink sauce with spaghetti was absolutely delicious. It came with garlic bread which my partner help me with. He choose cattle and creel. This consisted of an 8oz rump steak, prawns, mushrooms and onions in a bbq sauce and chips. He said it was superb. Our friend chose the steak pie which he said was excellent. Lots of steak which was all very tender. This came with chips also and you had a choice of what kind you wanted. We also had a bottle of Rioja. Water was provided for the table. Staff were attentive but not overbearing. All in all this was a lovely meal and we will go back again soon. No pics although I really wish I’d taken one of my fish dish.

We are regular visitors to the Steak House. My wife and I went for a meal with our teenage granddaughter on 11/7/2019.I asked for a 10 oz fillet steak specifying a medium rare filet mignon cut. The Chef did not disappoint. It was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. So my thanks to chef and thanks to Pat for selecting the best local beef.We will return!

The best onion rings in Britain. On a par with Little Jack Horners in Cooker, Sydney Booking essential

Had lunch with friends, food was lovely and portions were large. Service was excellent, with a great atmosphere in the downstairs restaurant, I will certainly go back

Visited for lunch today. Hubby had garlic mushrooms followed by vegi bean and haggis burger. I had potted meat which was delicious, followed by what was supposed to be salmon with cajun spices and chips, salmon tasted like it was coated in b-b-que sauce and not spicy at all, and fries were served not chips, which I wdnt have ordered. Disappointing meal overall, shame because staff were lovely.

The Linton is easily the best bar/restaurant in the surrounding area, The Food is locally sourced and you’ll never leave hungry! My Girlfriend and I love it here, the steaks are Fab and at a very reasonable price, the bar still runs 35ml measures and has a good selection of rums, guns, whiskies and Beer.The best thing however is the staff! Friendly and welcoming is all you need in a wee bar like this. My Favourite.

Had a really nice lunch here today. Food served hot and nicely presented by a pleasant waitress. Good choice of wines to accompany the meal. Hotel is warm and very clean. Would recommend to others .

Spur of the moment lunch. Great service. Good menu selection and good food. Slightly expensive for lunch. Would be good option to do lunch deals.

Not a large eating area just off the main bar, there is a function room however upstairs. Food was well cooked, nicely presented and served up by friendly and pleasant staff. Menu is more than adequate and prices fair for style and location. I had the haddock, but unfortunately just slightly over cooked but this may have been due to the chef leaving the plate under a heated lamp while waiting for service. Chips - frozen, I do wish that restaurants would either make fresh or not bother having them on the menu at all. Mushy peas, not sure where these came from but best avoided.

As I was staying in the Hotel, it made sense to eat here, the restaurant is really small, but was good value with good service

I arrived to be greeted by Ann, who was extremely friendly and accommodating. Everyone was friendly & helpful. They really made you feel at home, as if you were a long standing customer. They couldn’t do enough to help. The owner Patrick even took me in his car to the train station in Dunbar 6 miles away. The food is absolutely delightful and the rooms comfortable and spotlessly clean.

I had the pleasure of spending 3 weeks at the Linton Hotel with work.

Visited recently for an early evening meal with high hopes but very disappointed as after waiting 40 mins for a main course each in a very quiet Restaurant our Steak was so overcooked to the point of being Dry ! Did bring to the attention of very friendly waitress ! Overall we felt overly priced for the quality of food received ! Wouldn't return .

Had a meal here yesterday evening and was very impressed. Staff were so nice very attentive nothing any trouble giving good information on food on menus. Food was excellent piping hot very tasty and well presented.. Really enjoyed our meal. We certainly will return soon. We'll done.

We had just arrived in Scotland and had toured nearby Preston Mill, and we felt need of some sort of sustenance. Linton Hotel & Steak House was right off the main road in the town, so we decided to give it a try.

We had a family dinner with a fantastic menu & drinks to choose from. Selections from the specials boards, various steaks, seafood & vegetarian options & everyone was very happy. Really nice place, well presented ,clean & welcoming with friendly helpful staff.

I wanted to eat here last month so I visited early evening for a steak

I have now been a few times to the Linton Hotel. The food is delicious, and we haven't as yet had anything that doesn't live up to expection. From entering this little establishment to leaving the staff are so friendly and nothing seems too much for them. The downstairs restaurant is lovely and cosy while upstairs is large and spacious. The food really is second to none, sourcing many of its ingredients from local suppliers. The meat is from Linton butchers ensuring the best quality is used in their delicious dishes.

Early tea was briliantcouncil and the couple who ran it has 2 westies we had ours with us who was quite welcome d by the staff

Booked for a last minute evening meal. Made very welcome on arrival. Very efficient waitress who catered for our every need in a most pleasant manner. The food arrived quickly and was of excellent quality. It was very tasty and served to look appealing.

We had a meal booked at very short notice. Straight away the service of the waiting staff was excellent and very attentive .then we had our meal which consisted of 3 ribeye steak all cooked perfectly as requested followed by superb sweets.All the staff are a credit to this fantastic establishment.We will be back very soon.

We were just out for a drive and stopped for a light lunch but we had a feast. The food was superbly cooked, tasty and a large plateful. The service was fast and friendly and the staff were all very helpful. The steaks were cooked perfectly and there were no complaints from any of us.

Nice pub staff are very welcoming and helpful. Went out of their way all the time, which is really good. There is a garden to sit out in and the pub welcomes dogs and their owners.

Booked a table for four to try somewhere local and different, was not disappointed, food was amazing and portions were more than ample , will definitely return

Lunch with friends, food and service excellent, also excellent bar service, very warm welcome, would definitely recommend,

I went with my girlfriend rhona as staying in local caravan . Rhona enjoys a good steak as do I. We googled near by restraunts and Linton steak house came up so.thought we would give a try. And omg what a steak and the service was next to none superb .steak was that big and juicy I couldn't finish all my meal. The staff are a credit to Linton hotel chef came out and met us too all local produce. Thank you for a warm cosy night and good food .

4 of us have just returned from having a meal at the Linton Steakhouse.

we have been visiting this pub and restaurant for a long time now and the food is first class and if you like a good scotch steak then this is the best selection of tender cut steak cooked to your prefrence by far tried many other dishes and they are all excellent to first class service with a good pint of tennents to wash it down john and wendy

Here with a group of good friends who we meet every year at this time for a meal. The wine was good, the company good but the food very disappointing. Some had steaks that were over cooked, some steaks undercooked. Everyone had loads of deep fried onion rings that must have been cooked hours before as they were tough. Don't really want onion rings with salmon!! Wont be going back.

My wife and I had a great lunch here. The burgers are big and the Cock and Bull meal (6oz steak with goujons and fries) is tasty and filling - wonderful value for money. Really friendly and helpful stuff in a homely restaurant. Great place for lunch.

fantastic food and service could not have asked for better steaks superb can highly recommend this restaurant.

We decided to have a meal whilst having an excellent pint of real ale. We had a cock and turf, which consisted of chicken, rib eye steak ,tomatoes ,onions and mushrooms. The food,beer and service was first class. We will return.

we have just had the most wonderful stay at this hotel, we were a party of nine ages from 3...

Have been many times to the Linton as we live locally and have always had a lovely meal. The steaks are second to none and always cooked to perfection. Staff all very attentive and Pat the owner always ensures that his guests are happy with their meal. Highly recommended

Visited early September for a Birthday Meal. The meal was excellent as was the service from very helpful and friendly staff. I have no hesitation in recommending these premises.

We thought we would try the Linton Steakhouse as it was somewhere different and had never been before. It was a 'birthday' meal so we did'nt mind paying that bit extra. 4 of us had steaks, and have to say we were not disappointed, absolutely delicious, best steak ive had thick, tender and juicy . The portion sizes are very generous, one of us opted for the steak pie and again rich and juicy. The service was fantastic, our waitress Laura was very welcoming and helpful. Sparked up great conversation, smiled all the time. All the girls made sure everything was allright throughout our meal. Would definetly recommend to everyone this little Steakhouse is one to try. We will certainly be back. There was one little minor issue we did'nt realise that it was upstairs, was quite a struggle for my mother but she made it.

Certainly by far the better place to eat of East Linton's two pubs at the present time. The upstairs restaurant probably has more ambience when it is busy and it was quite quiet last night but, that said, the food was tasty - it is basic, but good pub grub - their steak pie is great - and the wine list is excellent. Only negatives were that the condiment set needed freshening up and the portions were perhaps overly generous but, all in all, the Linton delivers what it promises and is good value for money.

Called in here on the off chance we could get a meal. Staff were very nice. Said they were fully booked but would check just in case. We were lucky they squeezed us in. We had 3 tasty meals. I had breaded fish with chips and Peas and salad. Very nice. Another had veggie burger which he said was the best hes tasted. The other chicken burger also declared very nice. Both were served with huge onion rings. A basket full of fries and relish. I could not eat another thing but the others had huge ice cream and fruit creations. The staff were very friendly and attentive. How nice to see staff seemingly enjoying their jobs. The hotel are lucky to have such staff

We had a very enjoyable family meal here after a day out. The lady that served us was so very kind and helpful- couldn't ask for better service ! Prepared to a high standard, we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Very clean restaurant with a lovely wee setting ! Highly recommend

Party of 12 for lunch. The service was absolutely fabulous, the food was amazing. The owner even came to our table for a chat. Would recommend this venue to anyone. Thanks a lot to the Linton Hotel and Steakhouse.

We found this wonderful restaurant in East Linton,with amazing food great service from a lovely girl Ciara so helpful ,as i wanted to change things with my meal this was not a problem she sorted it all. The meal we had was beautlfully cooked and well presented my Husbands steak was so good i had the fish it was very good our aunt had the pie she enjoyed it . This was home cooking for sure the veg was fab, all food served hot great value , with great drinks menu, would go back very relaxed.

Great steak, fabulous quick service considering the place was heaving and there were lots of groups in. Got slightly too drunk with friendly locals after the meal but it's a lovely friendly place to go to. Highly recommend.

We called in for lunch. There's a lovely cosy restaurant at the back or a public bar. Very varied menu plus a specials board. I had the burger and fries (well presented, delicious and very filling.) My mum opted for a 2 course small (wee) portion for £10. First course chicken Diane (large chicken breast) and then apple and blackberry crumble. There was nothing small about either course. Ann a member of staff was very friendly and chatty. All in all a great meal and a very warm welcome. Would definitely return if I'm back up this way

We stopped off on the way back from east fortune market on a rainy day. As we had a dog was nice to see them advertising they were welcome. We weren't massively hungry for a large meal so opted for the soup and sandwich/toastie as alternative. Soup was lovely , home made and tasty and all well presented on slate tiles. Staff were friendly and helpful and the place is nice both in bar and restaurant areas. Would definitely pop in anytime when we are up in that area.

Would just like to thankyou for a lovely meal. We were welcomed and sat promptly, drinks were taken ( nice cool perroni for a hot day) menu was explained( huge choice) I had a traditional prawn cocktail which is easy to get wrong however it was great with large succulent prawns followed by a mixed grill which was all cooked really well and the meat was obviously good quality. Everyone in our party of 8 enjoyed there meal so thankyou. And the only reason for a very good and not an excellent was there was to my young staff that had no direction. ( example we got our order taken by one for our meal then another came to take our sweet order. And we must have been table checked 20 times through our meal) just a slight criticism that can be easily sorted. Keep up the good food.

We had lunch here whilst staying in East Linton. The food was really good and our little dog was welcome in sections of the hotel. I understand he could stay there too. Staff really friendly and helpful, showed us the wonderful garden 'upstairs' and made us feel like old friends. Worth visiting.

Booked a table early Sunday evening really nice settings and good food to go with it. Definitely worth another visit and hopefully soon.

The Hotel is situated in the quiet East Lothian village of East Linton. Friendly atmosphere and great food. Staff are friendly and helpful. Decent craft beers available and prices are reasonable. Two minutes from the river with picturesque walks past the waterfall. Worth a visit

Travelled from Alyth with my granddaughter who is playing at Castle Park GC tomorrow. Great staff, excellent restaurant and delicious, well priced food and drink. Owner arranged early breakfast for us on Sunday morning for which we are extremely grateful. Lovely ambience in the lounge restaurant and bar. A very late booking at a wonderful venue. Thanks to all at The Linton Hotel.Garry and Amy.

Myself and my husband made a last minute decision to pop in for a much needed night off and our visit was everything that we needed. With fantastic food, a lovely quiet table and great host we will certainly be back. We felt very relaxed, not rushed at all and really enjoyed our night both in the restaurant and down in the bar for a couple of night caps.Well done to Pat and all his staff keep up the good work.

Difinately visit again and recommend to friends, would love to try the stay as staff and owner was friendly

Stopped in for dinner with a friend and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and service. The ribeye steak was beautifully cooked. Many thanks!

Came across this place by chance had a sandwich and coffees, service was amazing and staff very friendly showing us the rest of the hotel where we were excited to learn we can book to stay over. We will definately be back and thank you again for your hospitality

My wife & I dropped in in the spur of the moment after a late afternoon dog walk. Walked in to a busy bar with our dog to be greeted immediately and attentively by a chap who we presume was the owner or manager who was sitting chatting on the customer side of the bar. He offered us a table by the fire, water was supplied for the dog and drinks ordered. Despite it being a busy friendly bar, we were made to feel very welcome. Two delicious roast beef dinners were served, condiments requested and sought (love horseradish) accompanied by Northumbrian Ale. Nothing to fault.

my wives birthday today, we went to the linton hotel for lunch , it was fantastic, she had scampi and all the trimings and she enjoy every bite, I had the linton burger , o my you must try this, it is the tasties thing you can put in your mouth, it was lovely, will go again. staff wonderful and very good priced, made us very welcome

Out for a meal and the restaurant gas was off, so had to look elsewhere. Remembered seeing the Linton Hotel while working in East Linton and decided to give it a try. It was only 5 or 6 miles from our original choice. Didn't know what to expect. We were delighted with the restaurant, the food and also the staff. The starters were lovely and the steak was perfect for my liking. There was no room for afters. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the place was clean and tidy. Will return at some point.

I was with a group of 22 walkers. We had phoned and asked if we could have tea, coffee, bacon rolls and scones. We were served by very friendly staff who as well as what we'd requested had laid on pastries, home made carrot cake and other tasty treats. The home made scones were delicious. We were offered as much tea and coffee as we could drink and all this for £6 each! It was a great start to our day.

Our walking group called at the hotel for a pre-walk brunch of bacon rolls, scones and cakes, with tea and coffee. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and the food was excellent, in a comfortable private room.

Terible service will never be back, was in before a table off four, myself partner and child who is two, the table off 4 was on their mains after taking plenty off time with starter's, still only drinks at table, a hour past and I was so pissed as we were all hungry not least my two year old daughter Ava, who had to make do with her mumchables, we all left but not before my partner was handed our food to take away, thanks for nothing Linton stake house!How can you treat children hungry children like this??

Located in a small village with varied menu, choice of selection of beer, friendly staff, using local produce

Beer battered haddock was absolutely saturated in oily greasy undercooked batter. Kids and I didn't enjoy. Staff cooked another haddock and the fish was partly raw though chef was convinced it was cooked - white and soft flaky fish is cooked not what I had. Husband thought his chicken was awful. Used to serve excellent food here quite some time ago now and we used to visit regularly. Won't be returning. Staff were pleasant and refunded adult's fish. Left hungry.

Decided to have a very late lunch. Nothing seemed a problem for the staff. A very enjoyable lunch, great food relaxed and very friendly atmosphere.Loved the steak pie

If you want certainty booking a venue that when the big day arrives you wont be let down - if the answer is ye.......s don't book this venue. Let down four days before my 50th birthday party. We were promised a private room for my c.40 guests, four days before they told us they were putting people into our function room. We also arranged in advance that if we had a set menu and ordered in advance they would put a couple of bottles of wine on the table free. Yes they also let us down on this too. I believe the food is really good here so I was really disappointed at their sudden change in heart, Luckily for me the Tweedle in Gifford stepped in and provided an amazing evening with great food and outstanding hosting.

A party of four midweek looking for a hearty meal and we were not disappointed. Two of us had absolutely melt in the mouth Rack of Lamb in a gorgeous sauce cooked perfectly by the Chef. The Steak Pie was fabulous and the 8oz Rib Eye(looked far more generous) was also cooked to perfection and accompanied by amazing hand cut chips and lovely Veg. We had visited for a cup of coffee earlier in the week and really liked the place, met the Proprietor and had a chat about the menu so decided to go back with family for dinner. A lovely place with a nice local ambience and absolutely terrific food. Highly recommended.

Food was great, steak was lovely - asked for medium rare and it was a little more medium than I'd like but it was tasty and the home made onion rings were lovely. Good prices and friendly staff. Would come again if in the area.

As it says in the title, my second time to visit the Linton Arms and again a really enjoyable rib eye steak and trimmings. I would certainly visit more regularly if the atmosphere was somewhat more appealing! A good small public bar and coffee room but oh, the upper restaurant really does need 'lifting' to another level! Please sort out the lighting; dim it down a little. Buy a Sonos and lets have some background music and then lets see how much ambience a few candles will make to the whole eating experience? It will pay dividends!

Popped in for a last minute meal without a booking; the staff were very welcoming. The meal was most enjoyable.Certainly worth a try.

We have visited the hotel and eaten there twice and on each occasion the food and service was second to none. We preferred to eat in the comfy seats in the coffee lounge which we find to be unique. The food is reasonably priced and is of great quality. The staff are well trained and genuinely friendly and the hotel has a family feel to it. Highly recommended.

We came into this restaurant for an evening meal with our friends, they had told us a lot about it and so we were excited.The staff in here are friendly and welcoming. One of the bar staff was extremely helpful with advising on food and what she had eaten and enjoyed which was refreshing. Obviously this is known for its steaks so the majority of the group ordered steak. I had the burger and my friend had the pie. I have to say that my friend and I were very happy with our choices. The burger was beautiful as was the pie and the portions were generous. Unfortunately if you are going to advertise yourself as a steakhouse, then really the steaks should be cooked well. Also the produce needs to be respected as, for the price, I'm guessing they are local. It was unfortunate that the steaks were not cooked as people had requested. We didn't complain, mainly because we were hungry and the steaks didn't taste terrible but they were just overcooked. Please note that this restaurant still gets a 4 even though this happened, mainly because there were so many positives.I would come here again but I just wouldn't have the steak. This is maybe something which could be reconsidered in the name of the establishment.As for the drinks, there were some great ale and wine choices.

We visited with the intention of eating in the restaurant but found that the menu was not of our liking as the prices were too high with the fancy named steaks and sauces. It is a steak restaurant so pointless going if you don't want steak as that is all they serve. The bar however serves up hot pastry goods but it's not so where to take the wife out to eat.

Had family lunch here, expensive for what it was. Portions were reasonable, but food was average. Impressed they make their own ice cream, but was way too creamy and did not enjoy.

Great food and the friendliest most welcoming service we've experienced anywhere! And John McKirdy from Linton Butchers supplies the meat, fabby!

Visited on a Lovely Sunday afternoon and was delighted with the food quality. I had a lovely Chicken dish and the rest of the party had steak pie which they said was really good,the steak was tender and huge portion. The vegetables came in a separate bowl and were just perfect. Service was good.

Sometimes it's the out of the way places that shine above their competitors. We popped in last Sunday with our 4 yr old son for a quick sandwich and ended up enjoying a 2 course lunch. The staff ( including the chef) kept our boisterous boy engaged in conversation and coaxed him to eat all his lunch. The food was beautifully presented and tasted even better. Anyone heading along the east coast must try this fantastic family pub/restaurant

Took my Mum and Dad here for my Dads birthday. He had mussels and said they were the best he'd had in years. Then we had rib eye steaks. Bought from the local butcher they were awesome. Such a choice of size and cut. Cooked to perfection. Managed to squeeze in a dessert too. Staff were brilliant too.

I have been to this lovely restaurant a couple of times recently, both with family and friends and both times had a great evening with fabulous food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. There is a lovely selection of local produce, including fresh fish (sea bass and trout) and beef from the local farm. Outstanding! A little gem of a pub/restaurant/hotel in a gem of a village.

Had lunch here with my hungry teenage sons. I got a small bottle of Prosecco on the house as it was Mother's Day - nice!Lovely menu, we had fish and chips and a Linton butcher burger. Both delicious. Cleared the plates. Desserts were large and scrumptious. Good staff on duty, Meg and Matt, we were well looked after. Will be back!

Just had the best 10oz Fillet Steak. Cooked to perfection :-) My partner had the 16oz Fillet and we cannot fault our meal at all. Compliments go to the chef and the warm friendly staff. Will definately return next time I'm in the area

We came to this restaurant last year when they had changed management and things were not too great. Wow what a change...we had a great meal. Prompt service, fantastic meal, friendly staff, they could not have done more. Upstairs was busy and warm, clean and bright. Well done to you all.

I am a steak man but just for a change went for the fish and chipswas not disappointed best fish and chips in east lothian, my wife hadthe scampi which was excellent too.Staff were very helpfull.

My wife and myself had lunch there today, Friday 12th February. My wife had lamb which she thought was terrible, it tasted boiled and the vegetables were certainly boiled. She hated the food and really should have sent it back. I had fish and chips and the batter was very soggy on the inside and was completely inedible. I sent it back and they brought me another just the same which I also sent back. Even from tasting a few morsels the very strong taste of vegetable oil left a horrible taste in my mouth.We eat out a lot and these are the worst fish and chips in my experience.

Having heard of a recent change of management decided to try the Linton. Not disappointed. Both the goats cheese and salmon fish cakes starters were excellent. Main course was two fillet steaks both done to perfection (one medium to well done and a well done). The excellent meal was finished off with waffles and ice cream. Our son, who can be quite fussy scoffed the Linton Butcher Burger and finished all his chips - a rarity!!Excellent food served by a very polite and attentive staff. One very minor improvement could be to clear empty glasses from the table otherwise faultless. We will be back

This pub/hotel is in a lovely idyllic village setting. First impression wasn't great due to two kitchen staff who where in their uniform smoking outside - so unhygienic, unprofessional and an off putter straight away.Ales were lovely, food was poor and waited for over an hour . We don't mind waiting for food to be cooked fresh but our children's meals didn't come with ours so they had to wait another 30 mins by this time they had lost the will to live and so did we! My fish was lovely, my husband had ordered a fillet steak and was clearly a rump steak. At this point we didn't complain, the owner did come over to ask if everything was ok and we then stated my husband was eating a rump steak and not fillet. He took the steak off the bill and offered another fillet steak to be cooked but at that point the meal was already ruined. We didn't stay for dessert and will not be back to this establishment again

We had a family Dinner in the Linton Hotel and Steak House on Xmas Eve for 14 not everyone wanted the Xmas Dinner some had Steaks all different of course.The Service was excellent,the staff attentive and the food delicious , well done we will all be back.

Had lunch with good friend Very good food service 10 decor 10 well worth going back and will soon Highly recommended.
