The best restaurants serving British food in East Lothian Edinburgh and Lothian

Lovely hotel, the heart of North Berwick!

Booking for 10 and the service was great. Lovely food with a friendly server. We will most definitely be back.

Fantastic local pub. Very welcoming. Great atmosphere.

Craigielaw Golf Club has an excellent restaurant, with a great menu. Best of all, it's open to non-members, and hungry travellers such as myself. Service is friendly and welcoming, and the food, although a touch higher than average pricing, is well prepared and presented, and very tasty too. The restaurant looks out towards the sea over the golf course, and has panoramic views. An enhancement to any meal.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Staff were very friendly and service quick. It’s a nice pub with a decent amount of character. The food was pretty good and reasonably priced.

The cafe was lovely but I'd like to particularly say thank you to the garden centre staff who were all lovely and very helpful (and my dog is fine:) )

This was a family trip to North Berwick. We stayed at the Old Aberlady Inn. The rooms were very comfortable. We had drinks in the evening and the staff did everything to make us welcome. They were friendly and efficient with great local knowledge. We had the ‘small breakfast ‘. This was excellent freshly cooked and delicious and the bacon was to die for. We would love to go back for longer.

A last minute trip to East Lothian resulted in us finding this lovely pub/bistro/hotel. A traditional venue from the outside with a bar the locals can drink at and a restating side for a more formal sit down meal. We had one night here and would highly recommend the friendliness of everyone we encountered. The evening meal was stunning with generous portions. I had Scampi that was delicious. The jewel in the crown was definitely breakfast. The fact it was hot and not tepid like some places. A really enjoyable stay and we will return when in this area.

Large cafe with good brunch menu. Plenty parking. Quick counter service. Nice stop after the nearby Lochend Woods Park Run.

Pretty disappointing dinner here. Came and ordered two steak baguettes, each costing almost £20. They came covered in a caremelised onion chutney and so much melted cheese and yet, were still so bland. Bad bread, bad steak, bad cheese. It came with a watery chimichurri sauce for dipping, which didn't really feel thought through with the rest of the dish. Won't be back.

Our first family visit to a Thai restaurant, the food was fantastic, very authentic. We shared a starter platter and then had main meals. All delicious. Service was friendly but as it was getting busy with walk ins and take aways they were often a little distracted. The garden area was beautiful and would definitely recommend booking a table out there for the evening. Remember in Thai time food is not a fast experience, one to relax and enjoy!

I am so disappointed in our visit as we were really looking forward to a nice lunch and a catch up. We arrived to be presented with the Grotto Christmas menu, not what we were expecting, and at no time was I informed this is what the menu would be!! I asked if this was all that was available, and was told yes. We were hoping for a sandwich and on a website menu noticed Croque Monsieur, Eggs Royale or Eggs Woodland was offered, which we were looking forward to. Instead we ended up with Chicken terrine which arrived with limp rocket and a very small piece of toasted bread. We were asked if we wanted sauces, with hindsight a drop of something might have helped. This was quite tasteless, and in no way looked appetising. Fortunately we ordered curly fries which kept us going. My booking form has a spot for menu, which when you look at only takes you to customer reviews. If I had been aware this menu was what we would have been offered, I would not have booked. We have visited twice before, once for lunch, which we have a favorable memory of, and last year for afternoon tea at Christmas so we had a reasonable idea of what to expect. Needless to say we did not stay for coffee or dessert. And at 4p short of £20.00 it was an expensive disaster.

Called in for lunch but was quickly told hot drinks and cake only. Was told they close at 2.45 even though the sign on the door says 3. At 2.43 the door was snibbed, to ensure no one else came in. Coffee was meh.....cakes were delicious. Service was dire and delivered by unwelcoming staff, albeit locals seemed to garner a smile from the head honcho. If you don't mind an extremely poor welcome and service, head here. Reading the previous reviews, it would appear this business doesn't care about negative reviews.

Family lunch for 12 people reserved weeks before and were told we could eat upstairs in The Avenue at the time we made the booking. On arrival we were informed that the upstairs was being redecorated and that we'd have to eat in the bar. Had we been warned we would have changed our reservation. Food was a mixed bag: my calamares were not properly cooked - some were practically raw. My brother had patatas bravas which were also hard and undercooked. My sister in law's salad was apparently thrown together with the most basic and cheapest ingredients. The general consensus amongst the rest of the family was just OK and average, rather than anything more positive. Such a pity as we have eaten here 7 or 8 times and the quality has always been good. I hope things improve soon.

Lovely food and scones were a treat. It was a bit of a squeeze as one of our party was in a wheelchair but the staff were very helpful moving tables around to make room.
