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.

We booked a table for Sunday lunch but there was no need as this new Marston's pub was very quiet on arrival. We ordered a starter and Roast beef lunch. Food came quickly. Good quantities but wasn't particularly flavoursome. Piped music a little on the loud side for us. Pleasant staff who regularly checked all was well. Good value at under £50 including two coffees and two alcohol free drinks.

Great service, best food place in dalkeith very friendly staff well worth a munch there

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.

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.
