The best restaurants serving British food in Midlothian Edinburgh and Lothian

First time visiting and will absolutely be back. Staff were lovely and welcoming, food was exceptional. Everything was tasty and delicious

Food amazing, staff very friendly would definately go back

This is the best pub ever . The atmosphere at the weekend is fabulous. Food is not cheap but is usually excellent. The array of beers and spirits is the best ever. The staff work there socks off and the place has so much history behind it . Also this is a non profit making establishment giving back to the local community. As the saying goes if carlsberg made pubs they would all be like the Dean

Before we arrived had speedy replies ro any questions, owner called us on the day to check when we would be arriving as he had to pop out and didn't want to miss us. On arrival we were met by Emma who was just so friendly helpful and smiley we booked breakfast for the next day for £8 each. We went to the bistro for tea prices of drinks reasonable and for the size of the portions of food the price reasonable again we were served well by Emma. The room was fairly clean and comfortable peeling borders on the walls weren't great and folder on window ledge was quite dusty but otherwise room spot on. Loved the history of the navaar and how they tried to incorporate within the decorations in the room. Was very shocked to arrive back after a day in Edinburgh to find the room had been service and supplies restocked really nice touch. Could hear the bus going passed quite early in the morning but I'm a very light sleeper.

On Friday night I made an online order of 5 items through Just Eat to collect. On getting home I discovered only 3 of the 5 items were in the bag. Called to try and sort out and was promised a call back in a few seconds. Got the call back in 30 minutes. Didn’t offer to deliver but offered a refund on missing items which I refused and said I thought a full refund would be more in order. Was told only Nico could authorise but he wasn’t in and would call me next day. Nico didn’t call on the Saturday so I phoned to be told he’d been in but had now left and would call me on Sunday. No call back on Sunday. What a poor way to run a business. Won’t be using this place again and neither will anyone I’ve told.

Not a big place, but lovely choice of genuine homemade soups and bakes. Toasties made to order, also paninis. We'll worth a visit.

Beef was like leather. Described as being slow cooked overnight, which is hilarious. Potatoes were hard in the middle. Veg was watery. Gravy was tasteless. Disgusting to charge almost £19 especially when lookwarm and having been seated next to a kids christmas karaoke party... Judging by the sarcastic responses from the business to previous bad reviews I doubt mine will make much of a difference. Refunded for one meal because it was 'hardly touched' then offered complimentary coffee.

Excellent service The staff seem really well trained. Food good big portions Cocktail disappointing I’d go back

Celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary here. Unique menu, well prepared, great service…and the setting makes the experience a 5 star night! Thank you for creating a memory we’ll hold onto for a long time!

Had a beautiful Christmas meal Great service and very tasty food for such a good price and lots for the wee ones to keep them happy with crafts and entertainment. Alex was so warm and welcoming

Best fish supper for miles . Quick service.

Family get together for nice meal on Christmas Eve coming from different areas so not too far for us all Great choice of food from youngsters to oldies and all in between

Fanta drinks appeared to be diluted, very much weaker than that bought at supermarket. Small portions of food. Not value for money. Chicken water drenched.

Had a beautiful Christmas lunch at the sun inn on Christmas Day with my family,food and service was outstanding,highly recommend

From the moment we walked in we were warmly welcomed. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff all in great spirits that was radiating through to the diners. We came for the Xmas day dinner and I'm so glad we did. Our booking was 12.15 and we had my 2 granddaughters, one who has sensory issues and got a little overwhelmed but we weren't made feel awkward. Lauren looked after us and she is amazing. Made sure we wanted for nothing and very friendly. A wee gem. Food was outstanding and came out all freshly prepared. Can't fault anything at all. The manager as well was so lovely. Just want to say thank you to everyone for making our first xmas out a memorable one and we have booked to come back on xmas day next year. We will deffo be back before then though.
