The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

My wife and I ate in restaurant on Saturday night, the food was amazing, and we both really enjoyed the food, BUT and there is a huge but, we were very disappointed and underwhelmed with the service and ambiance throughout the evening. Firstly, I phoned on Thursday 1st December to book a table for the 10th December at 6.30 pm, I received a phone call on Friday 2nd dec at 7pm saying that we hadn’t turned up for our booking and we were 30 minutes late. After I explained that wasn’t the date we had booked a table for they apologized and would get it sorted. We arrived Saturday at 6.25pm and was shown to our table and asked what we would like to drink. We looked at the drinks menu and I asked for a cider and my Wife asked for a brandy and Diet Coke. Only for the waiter to come back and say “sorry we don’t have any brandy” he then handed over the drinks menu again so my wife then asked for a Captain Morgan’s, only for the waiter to come back to our table to be told “sorry we don’t have that either”. She then ordered a Prosecco Rose, which was ok. We ordered our meal and as I said the food was totally amazing. We ordered our desserts, one for me & one for my wife and a cheese board to share. When the desserts came the waiter said, “ sorry to say but your table is booked for a reset at 8pm, it’s now 8.05, so could you please hurry up and eat your desserts because we need your table it’s our fault but we need the table back”. We were both left shocked and disgusted, never had we been asked this ever in any restaurant. Even though there were free tables across from us. The couple next to us asked, “Did we hear that right? They are asking you to eat up because they need your table? “ My Wife even offered to have the cheese board in the bar area if that would help but I wasn’t happy with this. After hurriedly eating our dessert the waiter came back with the cheeseboard and said “it’s ok we have jiggled the tables around and we don’t need your table now”. Your restaurant is beautifully decorated and food amazing but I have never in my life been so disheartened, angry and left speechless in my life, I would even say I will never tell anyone to book at Orrin because the service is terrible and I for one will not be back. I always leave a large tip when dinning out but, on this instance, I refused to leave a tip because of the poor service we endured. My wife sent a private message to Orrin pointing out the fact the service we were provided was shocking, but they haven’t responded.

Waling round the old naval base we came here to find the temporary exhibition as the visitors centre is shut this season. What is a pub doing shut on a July afternoon?

We visited this place as we had been disappointed by the poor service elsewhere and they certainly righted a wrong. We had home made pies and a cake each with coffee. It was delicious and we will certainly visit this place again.

Solely disappointing food along with rather unsatisfactory hygiene standards. Went here today with my partner for the first time - To start of our experience at Sally's we were pretty unenthusiastic after placing our order due to the sheer state of the prep table, bread crumbs and food littered along the back station which certainly as you can imagine is not appealing to the eye - it was exceptionally grim. The woman who was running the station looked scunnered with her job as she wore this unwelcoming scowl across her face in the midst of her messy unclean station to top it all off she began smoking a vape In front of us! and over the food ! This was a sight for sore eyes! Totally repulsive and exceedingly unappealing! Couldn't even eat the food went in the bin which was indeed the best place for it - entirely poor performance. I hope this review is taken constructively and measures can be put in place to rectify this behaviour and unsanitary conduct. Deep clean needed and clean as you go process should be implemented. Furthermore here's something else to consider Smile! It's more inviting Having said this, to Conclude.. We won't be back ( can't say we would recommend. agreeably inadvisable )

a quaint little cafe attached to a lovely, though expensive, gift shop. The food is very good and always made freshly once ordered. It's a tad pricey but no different tio the average decent cafe these days.

Ha sido muchas veces, siempre es agradable volver cuando vengo aquí para mis vacaciones. Cervezas frías y el servicio es bueno

Great spoons for visiting surrounding area. Great food and service

Was charged 3times on my card for our meal after returning back to my table and asked to re present my card 5 times as transaction had not gone through! We were a table of 4 and when our food arrived I had ordered a PLAIN half roast chicken with chips and found that the chicken was infused with lemon and herbs and was curtly told that all the their chicken dishes were lemon infused. I am allergic and therefore couldn't eat it and was then told by the shift leader that I "couldn't read a menu properly" after more ranting from her I was eventually offered fish & chips which I accepted. Another at our table ordered a mixed grill which arrived with unidentifiable items on the plate. These items were so burnt and on complaining it was taken back to the kitchen and returned with 3 complimentary sausages on top and offer of a free cookie which was declined. On moving the sausages out of the way it was found that the rest of "the grill" had been even more incinerated and was now just carbon. We then asked a refund and did without this meal! The shift leader at this time was extremely rude and very condescending to me especially and I had to get up again to get the refund on to my card. By this time I had been up from our table 6 times and used 5 different card machines. In the past I have dined and had drinks there and had no problems and this review is highly edited but this visit was a nightmare!!!! I would tell everyone to run in opposite direction. The empty tables around us were by this time not bring cleared after 1hour and 30 mins. Disgraceful!!

Friendly staff, excellent food and service

Brilliant pace for cheap and great food and drinks. Always brilliant place to catch up with friends or even a quick bite to ready solo

Been visiting for years but my last visit I was extremely impressed with the standards of the food. Myself and two of my friends ordered different meals. We were all impressed and happy with our dishes.

Went with family to celebrate a birthday they were very accommodating

This place has some of the best food in east Lothian. The currys are always good and the desserts are so yummy. I recommend going.
