The Waterside Bistro

Reviewed By Rebecca H

Recommended highly by a friend and was not disappointed. The bar was dog friendly and we were treated to a lovely plate of food, big portions too! Bar and waiting staff were very friendly and attentive. Great to see The Findlay’s running the place like old times, will be back!

Brasserie at the Maitlandfield House

Reviewed By TheDuchess - Northumberland, United Kingdom

Yet another superb Sunday lunch at our favourite East Lothian restaurant . Small but perfectly formed menu, makes it difficult to choose but whatever you pick you know it will be freshly cooked locally sourced produce. The chef is a rising star .
And all priced very very reasonably
Thank you to all the team at this family run hotel and brasserie
Ps thanks for the recipe for the strawberry pannacotta , it was delicious !!!!

China Garden

Reviewed By Olivia C

My family and I have used the Delivery service many times, and have sat in for a meal a few times. We always receive great service and lovely meals. Takeaway orders arrive within reasonable time and are always lovely and hot. Often we order and then go to collect it at the restaurant which they are always happy to do. When sitting in staff are always very attentive and our meals are always lovely. We will continue to keep coming back!

Eastern Eye

Reviewed By Alison0706 - East Lothian

Booked a table in advance as the Indian restaurant we normally go to was fully booked. We have eaten at The Eastern Eye once before a few years ago, didn't rate it then but thought we would give it another go. Restaurant was fairly quiet but still had to wait to be shown to our table. No table clothes and paper napkins on the tables, decor more akin to a cafe than a restaurant. Ordered poppadoms which came quickly along with our drinks, took a while for them to return to take our order. When the mains arrived the onion bhajis were barely warm with no salad, my curry arrived after the rest of the food and it was tasteless (chilli garlic chicken). Not a patch on the Grace of India in Aberlady, suffice to say I will not be going back to the Eastern Eye.

Visited here for a mid morning coffee and snack, the coffee was lovely and so was the cake. The cafe was clean, bright and had a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. I felt fine just sitting for a while Reading my paper and enjoying my coffee. The staff were polite and friendly, would definitely visit again.

Hilarys Deli

Reviewed By profjoypc - Alnwick, United Kingdom

This is an excellent combination of deli shop and cafe. It serves excellent coffee plus a range of other drinks such as hot chocolate in cosy, clean, welcoming surroundings. Baking is home made and the cakes look extremely good. Various casual food items can be purchased on a take out basis and they all look delicious. The shop has some good quality deli produce along the lines you would anticipate including oatcakes, chutneys, cheeses, condiments etc etc. This shop is definitely worth calling in if you are passing through Haddington.

Sung Sing Restaurant

Reviewed By alandsueSunderland - Sunderland

a nice big restaurant lots of room, a bit too open, and voices echoed a lot and got louder , not good if you want a quite night, it sounded more like a pub . It needs a bit carpet and a few booth type seats for privacy, It does not feel like your typical indian restaurant with a bit indian wall art etc Anyway the butter chicken and veg pillau were lovely.

Reviewed By Clare S

We had heard via friends that Charlie the chef was back working with Paul so we decided to give the Tyneside another go.
We weren't disappointed. Food and service were excellent. The chicken, stuffed with black pudding, wrapped in Parma ham with a chorizo and mushroom sauce was amazing. Veg was cooked to perfection.
We will be back soon.

The Coffe Pot

Reviewed By perfectholidays_1 - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Chips were overcooked, also feel the service could be better. We had a panini which was also overcooked and a baked potato which was burnt. Would not return in a hurry.
