The Sweet Boutique in East Lothian

I've tried many fish and chips including some of the best in the UK and i can safely say East Coast is not one of them. First off £18.50 is on the expensive side for fish and chips. The haddock wasn't very fresh (6 out of 10) and the batter is crispy but super oily and absorbs all the oil. The chips were not bad but i'd say there wasn't enough to justify the price. On the plus side, the atmosphere and the service was good. The fishmarket, Berties, and Landy's are all far better in terms of freshness of the fish and the batter they use for their fish. Portion size, quality and also pricing is also more reasonable too.

This is one of those wee shops in a wee place that is just phenomenal!! I drive from Edinburgh to this shop because is it second to none!! Always stocked, delicious cakes aswell. I don’t often leave reviews because I’m really hard to please when it comes to service lol, the filling station deserve every word they are fantastic!! The ladies that work there are always banter too which makes it always a pleasure to go in.

I hadn’t been here for over a year and we returned for a family birthday as it’s fairly local for my parents. The menu had changed a bit since we were last here but some of the old favourites were still there. We had a range of food and most were pretty good - the Nachos went down well and the Haggis Cigar was brilliant as usual with a very good sauce. Most of the meals were good. The steak burger however was poor - overcooked and dry - the worst of the 5 meals we had and a disappointment as the others were good. It wqs a birthday for my elderly mum and we had brought a cake and we appreciate that they brought plates for the cake.

On Saturday we had a fantastic relaxing evening with the family at the restaurant in Dunmuir hotel. So far I believe is the best place for food in town While waiting for our food we got a dominoes set from the shelves( which is decorated with lots of interesting stuff, from old books to some unique pieces from local artists) We played and spent some quality time all together My meal was a delicious Cod and mussels curry served with fragrant rice, my husband got a Venison Burger ( that evening special) that was insanely good. My son had fish and chips from the kids menu, that honestly looks like a normal adult portion, freshly made with a choice of wedges chips ( sorry not picture- he messed the dish straight away 😛) The top ten was our Haggis Bits served with a spicy sauce ( I don’t normally have Haggis isn’t my favourite thing) but this time I give the chance to try and they were so good. Definitely a must if you come in Dunbar For dessert we shared a selection of cheeses to finish the lovely wine and carrying on playing with dominoes The staff was very friendly and helpful, always ready to anticipate our needs taking our jackets away and asking for any assistance This Hotel and restaurant is dog friendly 😍

Introduced my brother in law and his wife who were visiting from Essex, to the Black Agnes. Both were blown away with the quality of the food, and the price, so much to say he would happily come back to Scotland for the Black Agnes food.
