I’ve been to the Whyte Melville on several occasions and have always had an enjoyable time - now I know that this is because I have never had the displeasure of bumping into the manager. Last week, a friend and I wanted to go just for a couple of drinks. We rang and booked a table (bearing in mind I had visited just a few weeks prior for a drink and was allowed to sit at a table). Shortly after we arrived, the manager came over (all pleasant) with a menu; we explained that we weren’t eating and were only here for some drinks. With that, his demeanour suddenly changed and he shouted that we weren’t allowed to sit at the table if we didn’t eat anything. He proclaimed ‘THIS IS THE BUSIEST SATURDAY OF THE YEAR!!!’ We said ah ok so sorry about that, we’ll order some food then. ‘What, a burger?!’ he scoffed. He then snatched the menus from our hands and shouted ‘I’m going to get your bill and you’re going to pay it now and get off the table.’ There was no need for him to be so loud and so rude towards us, we were polite and didn’t argue back, yet he insisted on making a scene in front of the other guests and embarrassing us. We then had to stand pretty much next to the table whilst it was completely empty for the next 2 hours?! I don’t think he cares about his customers, only about money. Will not be going back again.

Excellent Burns supper by Andy the friendly Scottish chef who came out to greet us. All 10 of us very much enjoyed the food we ordered including Cullen skink, haggis pakora, balmoral chicken, haggis main course and Cranachan. Every single course was delicious! Well done Andy!

Wouldn’t go again .. first and last time today . Very disappointing food .. very very basic .. small portions , presentation poor .. I could produce better meals and I’m no chef . Dirty crockery piled high in sink , grubby kitchen . Children weren’t even offered a glass with their cans of drink . Not even a straw Observed lady in charge was microwave heating a pouch of rice then used fingers to decant ( no gloves in sight ) . Young employee also putting hands into a container of grated cheese straight after using till without washing hands or wearing gloves .. very disappointing
