The best restaurants serving British food in Dalkeith Midlothian Edinburgh and Lothian

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.

Simple pub grub type place over a large site. Lots of pub regular dishes on offer. All that we ordered was served in good time and tasted as it should. Decent enough pub option comparable to Elginhaugh nearby

Can highly recommend Francos ...I'm a regular customer ,food is always tasty and of a consistantly high standard .Staff are friendly ,welcoming and efficient .Great menu and competitively priced .Always a pleasure to visit ....many thanks to all at Francos

Worst experience we have encountered. shabby establishment. Dirty tables and floor. Standard of food the lowest we have encountered ever. Carvery very limited and quite frankly disgusting.

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.
