The Old Post Office in West Lothian

Great pub, great food, brilliant music venue and staff superb! Amazing value as well.

We've only been here twice, so far. But it's easily becoming our favourite spot for any early dinner with a toddler. Very family friendly, fast drinks, and we absolutely love their burgers. It's also worth getting the rosemary chips.

A shabby shabby pub with the most wonderful food. Everything we ordered was very good.

Quality of the food is excellent (tasty and piping hot ) well priced . Well done Katie ! The bar staff are friendly , welcoming and very efficient. 😊

I always visit here when I come to Linlithgow. A nice place to sit and chill with food and drink. The food has always been lovely!

Disappointing as food not hot and a very long wait even although it was very quiet, food sent back to reheat but fresh and hot evenually arrived, wont be back! Waitress apologetic and pleasant.

Great food and great service ,the steak pie is out of this world ,the chef tiz put a twist on my steak pie ( I asked if the chef could do that for me ) fries with steak pie mozzarella cheese gravy topped with puffed pastry ,it was amazing, thank you again for modifying my meal

Only went because it was on the pub trail. Staff were ignorant, toilets were minging, folk out their faces on drugs. Such a shame because all the other pubs on the trail are great this one let's it down.

Very friendly and welcoming front of house staff. The food prepared by head chef Tiziana is absolutely 💯 👌 beautifully presented and delicious 😋

Very friendly pub ,you are always welcome, great food and the chicken wings are really tasty so it's the steak ciabatta Andrew is a credit to this establishment ,and tiz is the best chef in town

Had a great night in here. The staff are great fun, especially Steph what a character!!! Would recommend to anybody looking for a fun night out

Gid fid n atmosphere, nice pint eh

In the heart of Linlithgow, nestled within the storied walls of The Old Post Office, stands a man whose craft transcends mere bartending—James Kerr, a virtuoso of the pour, a maestro of mixology, and a custodian of conviviality. To call him a bartender would be akin to calling Michelangelo a mere painter; James is nothing less than an alchemist, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary with a flick of the wrist and a knowing smile. From the moment one steps into his hallowed domain, the world outside dissolves into irrelevance. The air hums with the low murmur of contented patrons, the clink of ice against crystal, and the hypnotic swirl of liquid gold cascading from bottle to glass. It is in this theatre of spirits that James performs his nightly symphony, orchestrating each drink with a precision that borders on the divine. Whether he is conjuring a perfectly balanced Old Fashioned, its rich notes of caramel and oak enveloping the senses, or deftly crafting a gin and tonic so crisp and effervescent it could revive the weariest of souls, each creation is a testament to his unparalleled mastery. Yet it is not just his skill behind the bar that elevates James to legendary status—it is the experience he bestows upon each and every patron. To be served by James is to be welcomed not merely as a customer, but as an honoured guest in a sacred ritual of indulgence. His effortless charm, razor-sharp wit, and preternatural ability to anticipate one’s desires before they are even uttered make every visit an affair to be savoured. He possesses the rare gift of making strangers feel like old friends and old friends feel like royalty. In an age where the art of hospitality is so often reduced to a transaction, James Kerr stands as a beacon of what true service should be—elevated, personal, and utterly unforgettable. He is not simply a bartender; he is the guardian of good times, the architect of revelry, and the very soul of The Old Post Office. To witness him in his element is to witness perfection poured into a glass.

I had come here for a quick meal when visiting Linlithgow to see friends. The old post office is definitely interesting being that it’s inside an old post office. The staff were very pleasant seated us and had food and drinks orders sorted quickly. Overall good value for money and services is good definitely would return

Staff are friendly and offer fast and great service. Had a great meal of the lasagne which arrived hot and tasty within 15 minutes. The atmosphere throughout the week is busy but joyful. 5/5 Stevens team is great

Just in for drinks. Excellent service and choice, staff friendly, nice visit

We spent the morning here at their Breakfast with Santa and it was fabulous! The friendliness and effort by the staff is some of the best I have experienced in a long time. We were welcomed into the bar as a family and the kids were given reindeer antlers, Santa hats and colouring in sheets. The Grinch was then put on the TV above our table like a private screening which kept the kids entertained. The food was amazing value for money and warm coffees all round helped heat our bones. We were then taken through to see Santa which my boys were speechless about. They got a great chat and a small present each. I honestly cannot recommend or rate this experience highly enough. We travelled from Glasgow for this and over the years I have paid far far more for extremely disappointing experiences. This was beyond our expectations and massively to do with the staff. Thank you all so much for making our day x

Went for quiz and Christmas dinner. Brilliant food, really fresh and cooked wonderfully. Turkey was incredibly soft and gravy was lovely. Staff are always amazing in here too - thank you!

Had a great time doing the pub quiz. The food was very tasty and arrived quickly. Staff were great, good prices and Steven, Luke and Andrew were the best staff!

Having gone to Linlithgow for a few hours, we selected The Old Post Office for lunch. (on a previous visit to Linlithgow we had a bitter disappointment in another establishment). When we arrived (unreserved), it appeared to be heavily reserved on most tables, (a very good sign) the bar staff advised us to check for tables, or vacate before the other party arrives, we found a vacant unreserved table. After looking at the menu we ordered food and drinks at the bar, drinks arrived promptly, followed by our food order. Both dishes arrived, piping hot and absolutely delicious, staff checked if everything was ok shortly after. I would recommend you visit for lunch, you wont be disappointed. We will when next in Linlithgow return!

We attended the ABBA tribute night, the team were all very polite and friendly, great food and great service. The atmosphere was brilliant. Well done to all and thanks for a fab night.

Super staff and lovely atmosphere. Let down by the environment- could be amazing with a bit of investment

Nice place. I’m on a diet and usually struggle to find suitable meals, but the lady at the bar was amazing! She was so patient and helped me choose a perfect selection of dishes according to my needs. And of course many thanks to the chef. Delicious food and exceptional service. Highly recommend! 🤘

Popped in for a quick spot of lunch,staff very helpful and friendly,sophie and tiz are a credit to the place will definitely be back

Estrella Galicia on draught. Always a positive.

Visited the old post office yesterday afternoon for a catch up with friends, the staff were very welcoming & helpful. I had heard the food had really turned around since the head chef tiz had taken over so it was a must for us to go try it out and the food did not disappoint I will definitely be back!

magic shots, steven was exceptional

Service was first class! Food was great value, and reasonable drinks prices. Shots, cocktails and good craic from the staff.

friendly staff, great service and fantastic range of drinks

Amazing!! Fantastic range of drinks!

Awful. My seat was stained in urine

Excellent and quick service as per usual, always look forward to coming here as the presentation and flavour of the food is immaculate making for a great experience, forgot to take a photo again as it was too mouthwateringly beautiful for both me and my partner.

Great place for night out whether looking for quieter night during the week or social night at the weekend. Great staff as well always friendly and welcoming.

Great friendly service, great food, haggis fritters are to die for, lovely atmosphere. Great wee place for a pint. Great choice of pints on tap. also an extensive cocktail menu which has something for everyone

Family dinner. Table of 6. Absolutely brilliant bar and dining. Service was fast l, food cooked to perfection. Everyone cleared there plate and bar staff made us all laugh. Definitely be back.

My food was not fresh, the presentation was not clean and there was a hair in the middle of the meat

Quiet night but staff were friendly and good for a conversation. Went for drinks only so can't grade food but menu looks good with reasonable prices

The pub is looking very tired these days. There are holes in the carpet and a broken wash hand basin in the Gent's toilet that has been broken for over a year now. I had heard over a year or so ago that there were plans to refurbish but obviously it hasn't happened. Also the floor at the bar area was sticky and in need of a decent clean.

Pretty dam good value. Our whole lunch was around £23 for both of us. Are light but excellent food quality! KJ, from the kitchen was fantastic! There was a football (soccer) game in and we loved every minute. While my wife was writing postcards to the kids lol! I was catching up on some work stuff but great spot.

Had a lovely meal. Food was cooked to a perfect standard. Service was as exceptional, special mention to the staff: Steven, James and Jack

Old school pub perfect for drinks with mates, loads of choice and plenty of venoms. Pub is old and tired but great for a catch up. Pool table is an added bonus. Heading back for the game Saturday.

A lovely little place to visit for some food. I’ve been twice now and the food has been great! The barmaid is lovely and polite :) Affordable prices.

It's a bar with very good vibes. It's suitable for sitting and drinking, chilling, and talking with friends. There are a variety of beers to choose from. #TravellingAsACouple

We had visited Linlithgow to go to a few bars and the Old Post Office was number 2 on our list. In fairness the staff were great and the beer was good but that's where it stops. Torn seat covers, tatty decor and a carpet which you literally stuck to make this a pub I am not visiting again. It genuinely felt filthy. Given this is owned by Grene King (who suck the life out of any local pub ) there is no excuse to have allowed the venue to descend into this state.

Bar was smelly and furnishings ripped and in poor condition. Staff friendly but place needs a spruce up. Did not eat because of smell.

The best cocktails that weren’t even on the menu !! And just overall fantastic service and good atmosphere

The staff were lovely, the pub was very clean. But, the food was dreadful. Certainly not value for money. Shame

Popped in for lunch, the food was excellent as per usual. The katsu chicken and the salt and pepper chicken were fab. Would recommend for a bite to eat and nice atmosphere. Jack and Tiz were superb as well.

Love the new items on the menu, loaded fries are exceptional. Good pub for a quick bite, lots of TVs and staff decent. Pop in when I’m in the area seeing friends.

We found this little gem through a Google search. We had a warm and friendly greeting by the barman. We initially just went in for a drink and stayed for something to eat. The food was excellent both in price and quality. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommend a visit.

The food was good and the service was excellent. Bar man was really friendly and went out of his way to check we were satisfied and having a good time. If I didn't live 200 miles away I would definitely come again!

Fantastic friendly staff and service, went the extra mile. Great food, great value too. Highly recommended, sad we’re only visiting and can’t come again!

The food I'd lovely, the prices for drink is a bit much, service is always given with a smile but not much of an atmosphere any time I've been in..very quite quiet.

Visited midweek early evening as we were hungry, not really our sort of place to eat or drink but the service was good and the staff friendly. Reminded us of Wetherspoons food wise and trek for the loos! Excellent choice of drinks including Bellhaven Black.

Food was nice. Service was friendly. Let down by shabby seating,that wet my clothes due to rips/slashes, retaining something wet.

Great food, service and atmosphere cheers

Price of food was excellent although it had clearly been cooked on a dirty griddle tasted great but the residue on the plate told a different story

Not impressed. We dropped by for a drink late afternoon. Quite a few customers were in but gradually we were the only ones left. Suddenly all bar staff left to go outside, I’m assuming for a cigarette break, but without asking us beforehand if we wanted anything!! So we were on our own, with the staff all outside. Not a great way to run a bar ☹️ don’t think we will be back. Disappointing as the place does have potential but lacks any motivated staff,

Not my sort of place ... but we enjoyed it. I don't normally warm to somewhere that is full of sports TV screens and where I can feel my shoes sticking to the floor. In fact I would run a mile. However, we needed a quick bite and only had an hour on the parking. We tried it and were overwhelmed by the friendliness of the service and we both enjoyed our food plus my first Guinness Zero%. Also nice to see an old building being repurposed. ... And the Grand Prix was on.

Excellent, good food and people.

Katsu curry is best here by far ,always friendly welcome too

Cheap beer and food, starting to look a little worse for wear. Okay for a beer before moving on.

Top Tier Pub Best pub i have ever been to, great staff team and excellent service. Always service with a smile and the food was phenomenal every time.

Decent place for a drink and food

I was at the old post office at the weekend, we met Steven the manager and all I can say isSteven and all his staff were great, very helpfu, friendly & professional, they made our day out even better 5*

The ambience is exactly what you want from a local, high street pub. The food is spot on & just what you need when you’re enjoying a good, casual day out. Staff are friendly and always quick to get you served. Can’t fault the place. Always a stop off for when we’re out in Linlithgow.

The pub's ambiance is rather ordinary, lacking any standout features, and its culinary offerings certainly don't warrant any accolades. The chicken and leek pie failed to impress, lacking flavor and tenderness, while the blue burger arrived disappointingly dry. Even the accompanying chips and onion rings were overly crispy, almost to the point of being hard, and the churros suffered from being burnt. However, amidst these culinary shortcomings, the redeeming factor was the amiable and accommodating staff.

I really enjoyed their meals. The ambience was serene. Great place. Amazing staff

Don't know whether Sunday menu is off permanently but it may well be worth taking it down off the website.

Very small so gets busy quickly to the point of being uncomfortable. Not many tables so, generally stand in other peoples way

Like Wetherspoons, but not as cheap for drink. Good for sports- plenty screens. Food is fine, if you're hungry - bar food.

Good friendly locals and reasonable grub

Standard high street sports bar. Good pint of West lager.

Was in on Xmas day.seats ripped.tables sticky.feet sticking to the floor.carpets filthy.badly needing a clean up.

Brothers 40th (15.12.23) was absolutely amazing. Outstanding food. Great service. We had kids in the group who got spoilt. Cannot recommend OPOB enough. Chef Tiz is the best in the business, she could not do enough for our party. Manager Steven is an absolute legend, bringing the birthday boys cake up and making sure we were all well fed and watered.

On a cold wet winters day inside was not overly warm, in fact I was chilly by the end of my meal. I was not sitting near a door. It's quite a loud pub, football was on with people watching on several tvs, a good buzz about the place and music on too. Maybe not the best choice for us having a quiet catch up but great food and i cannot fault the service.

Absolutely lovely fresh fish chips and mushy peas 🫛 😋 staff were attentive and nice atmosphere

Always a great experience.food is always amazing, can’t fault the service either

The food was lovely, and the staff were really nice, it was just a shame the food came out very randomly. 2 of us got our starters when 2 of us got mains, then there was a fairly long wait, and then another 2 starters came out with another main, they finished their meals, more waiting and another 2 meals came out and so on. There seemed to be no order to things coming out of the kitchen. I suppose it might not have helped that we ordered separately, but I would have thought an establishment like this would be able to cater to a group at one table ordering separately. The guy did apologise for the wait, though it did put a bit of a damper on the evening.

Great place for a pint and for a bit of banter.

Amazing staff that are attentive and and take great pride in their jobs. Nothing is ever a bother and the vibes the team give off are addictive. A smashing, and underrated, venue.

5star great food and fab night out

First class service. I always enjoy the Live Music nights as it's always a wide range of different acts. It's great to see the bar staff enjoying the tunes while serving too.

Nice pub , very good atmosphere

Went here for lunch and it was lovely, food was yummy, atmosphere was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a visit here!

Surprisingly large, very nice pub.

Thankfully the company was great, drinks were good. Food - sadly never again 🤑

Had a great meal here with my in laws tonight, manager was very accommodating and the drink selection was fantastic

Came here to watch my beloved rangurs in Europe, a horrific experience made unforgettable by the attentive bar staff and sensational food!

Fantastic food and drinks range, great and attentive service from the team. The live music offerings on a Friday coupled with the DJ on a Saturday make a great weekend visit, but the midweek sport and atmosphere is also great. Well worth the visit and highly recommended venue if you're in the area.

Fantastic service, great atmosphere. Marc and Steven really looked after us, great staff!

First time here and it was so good! Food was absolutely amazing. Prices are really reasonable too. Will definitely be back!

Good service brilliant drinks good atmosphere

Food and service were excellent got table service because we were a large party and staff couldn't have been nicer although they weren't expecting us despite having booked well ahead. Fortunately it was a very quiet Sunday

Good food and the bar staff were very friendly, visited 14.07.2023.

Absolutely wonderful place. Wide selection of drinks. Plenty of seating options. Pool tables. Live music. Quiz night. Really wonderful

Have been going to the Lithgae Marches for over a decade and the Old post office is right in the centre of the town. Always make a bee line for the place as Great service and a great range of drinks. Last year the place was looking a little tired .....This year the place has been totally neglected by the owners. The place was absolutely filthy..Tables and flooring were actually sticky to the touch. The seats are tired with most do worn that the wood is showing through the fabric. The ladies and gents toiletsvare up a filthy dark stairwell and are absolutely disgusting. I really urge Greene King to bring this great pub up to date. Staff and service were excellent..

Class service, drink range and staff.

Visited a few weeks ago and took part in the pub quiz, was very enjoyable. Staff were also friendly and added to the experience of the night

Great atmosphere, good food, fast service. Seem to have a mini event every night
