The best restaurants serving British food in Midlothian Edinburgh and Lothian

First visit to Bruntons restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Excellent food, service from Emily was first class, priced very reasonable too. We all enjoyed our meals and will certainly return. Can’t leave this without mention of the seafood spaghetti dish. Wow, just wow.

Always great food, and friendly welcome.

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

What a wonderful experience at the Dean Tavern. The venue itself is lovely, and the staff are truly fantastic. We worked closely with Ellie, who was very welcoming and helpful. The show went smoothly, and the support from the team made all the difference. Would definitely recommended for any event! We very much look forward to returning.

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.

Had an amazing meal, would recommend the Chicken and Haggis Pie, we were served by a lovely young man called Andrew, we stayed in our caravan just across the road so the location was perfect for us

Four of us just had a lovely meal tonight .The food was delicious and the service we received was excellent.

Celebramos nuestro 32 aniversario de boda aquí. Menú único, bien preparado, gran servicio... y el entorno hace de la experiencia una noche de 5 estrellas! ¡Gracias por crear un recuerdo que conservaremos durante mucho tiempo!

Very good service and delicious food

So much potential but sadly the Laird is no longer getting looked after, th current morning host seems to have an attitude towards the guests. Overall sad to see.

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.

No matter what time of day we come in we enjoy it each time. Food here is great sometimes it’s just what you need. We have came here when it’s quiet and busy. We always know the staff are trying their best and shout out to Shannon who always looks after us and will go above and beyond for you.

We had a great experience at the Melville Inn Lasswade. This was our second visit and we'll definitely be back again. We booked online on the day and we were seated quickly on arrival. The surroundings are lovely, and we received fast, attentive service from Loren, who was pleasant and couldn't do enough for us. The food was very good, everything ran smoothly. A quick tip: don't follow your satnav just head into the Dobbie's Garden Centre entrance and turn left and you'll find it easily.

Great pub,very nice staff too. Went here for dinner Friday & Saturday,the food was delicious,being veggie I always worry what's going to be set down in front of me but I have no complaints whatsoever. Young staff but very attentive and polite,always good when you receive great customer care. We also had our two little dogs with us but no issues at all. We will definitely be back next time we go to the caravan site,so handy just being a 5 minute walk away.
