The best restaurants in Penicuik Midlothian Edinburgh and Lothian

Absolutely hands down the best curry you will get!

Lovely wee place. My partner opted for the ommlette and chips which was lovely. I myself had the panini which was also just as nice. Wide variety on the menu, Smoothies were decent and the service was quick and very friendly. Will definitely be back!!

Lively bar on the main drag with friendly and helpful staff and a great range of drinks on offer. Prices were fair too.

Went for the buffet today tbh it was disgusting chicken was like jelly there was hardly any food not a great choice and it was only open 1 hour expected everything to be fresh think it was the left overs from the day before will not be back been feeling not well since I ate it

Had the most amazing milkshake here .

Reform are holding meetings here so if you are a band or potential patron don’t go near it until they stop hosting right wing hate.

I volunteer here once a week but also go to the Wednesday community lunch where a set 3 course meal is served at 12.30. Open to all, you pay by donation but there is no obligation. Lentil soup with sourdough bread, vegetarian lasagne with garlic toast , coffee and chocolate hazelnut cake was yesterday's delicious meal. There's a friendly atmosphere and willing service. The Storehouse also supports several young vulnerable adults who help to serve and to clear tables - always with a smile. I feel really lucky and proud to have the Storehouse in my town. I hesitated to write this review because I volunteer in the shop but I am also a café customer.

I’m an American living in penicuik looking for a place that has good flavor. This place is so yummy- would recommend to anyone stopping through.

There have been many changes since we last visited Whitmuir pre-pandemic. The farm food shop has gone and has been replaced by Junkshop Antiques (which used to operate from smaller premises on the site); The Dancing Light gallery apparently moved online some time ago and the vacant unit they previously occupied was due to be re-launched as a (Christmas) shop when we were there in November 2022. The café looks the same as before (minus the gallery’s paintings) but opened again under new ownership in September 2022 and now trades simply as Whitmuir Cafe. I’m glad to see the log burner remains in place as it is needed to try to keep this cavernous place warm at this time of year. Quercus Garden Plants still operate on the site however when we visited garden plants were not something we were looking to explore. At the time of our lunch visit there was a slow, steady flow of customers but these are large premises to fill so it lacked atmosphere. The menu choice is modest and we ordered up their Toastie of the Day, which was ham and cheese, served with house salad and dressing £6.95). My wife’s request to replace the sourdough bread with brown bread was met. I ordered a Bagel with chicken & lemon mayonnaise, also served with house salad and dressing (£6.25). We both enjoyed our lunch - the chicken was plentiful and tasty with the mayo, the toastie filling good quality and we both rated the house salad and dressing very highly. The only criticism was that the cutlery knives seemed blunt. The coffee we had along with the food was very good - Flat white (£2.95) and Americano (£2.60) - so we ordered another to go along with the home bakes both of which happened to be gluten free. My wife requested the smaller of the large looking slices of Treacle and Lemon tart on display, which turned out to be wise since she was unable to finish it; and I had an Almond slice which I too was unable to finish. Verdict on the cakes was “okay” however we have only rarely found a gluten free cake which we could say we really enjoyed so that is probably just our taste. Overall cost of lunch was just over £29 which we thought was good value. Staff were friendly and efficient. It’s early days for the revised format and not as attractive an overall destination for us however we wish them well. Check opening hours if travelling - seems to be Wednesday to Sunday, 10.00am until 4.00pm at present.

I love the food here but the woman who takes the orders is so rude and unfriendly I’ve stopped going.

We just recently had a birthday party with 23 people within Craigie’s gin pod and was given an amazing buffet and supply of drinks. The business was also very accommodating giving vegan and veggie plates to those with the dietary requirements. Only comment to make was that most drinks had to come from inside but it was amazing and quick service! We will be coming back! Book this space if you are interested in having a large get-together!

Easy to order online or in the shop, friendly service, good food and and free prawn crackers again. Definitely recommend!

Was " ok " but these establishment's / Takeaways need to up their game . Thought I would try this place in first time in a while . Was not bad , but wouldn't be in a hurry to go again

Friends were staying at The Craigiebield, and were very happy with their room, we decided to have Sunday dinner, sadly roast beef was tough, it had been sliced in very thick slices which didn’t help, I’m sure if it had been sliced thinly they would have got away with the meat being tough. Food was served on cold plates not good when hot food is being served. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Refurb of the hotel has made a great difference.

Kebabs are great. Delivery fast and staff friendly.
