The Riccarton Inn Pub and Dining

Sunday lunch with the teens. I just love the place, it’s cozy (especially in winter when the fire is going) the staff are lovely, it wasn’t noisy,and the food is fantastic (the portions are very generous!) My daughter had the fish and chips, the fish was as big as her head and so fresh and tasty and crispy. Me and the boy had the steak burger which was juicy and cooked perfectly on a brioche bun. I had flourless chocolate torte and it was not only beautiful to look at, it was to die for! Never change Riccarton 😊

It was very early in the evening so the restaurant was still very quiet

A Great pub, great food, and a great vibe !!!

Food was good, service very quick and staff friendly and helpful.

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely flavours in the Seabass dish. Prompt service from staff.

Great food and service. The only criticism is the prosecco is very expensive. You dont expect to drink in a local pub and pay more than some places in town!

Very good for dinner - enjoyed our evening. Good food, good service.

Great service with lovely food and a very nice atmosphere

Very good service and atmosphere as always. I love it when the fire is on

Lovely relaxing atmosphere with Good food & great service. Cheers

Fantastic food and great staff. Good choice of food and very short wait. Will be back soon!

Staff were all lovely and very accommodating of a breastfeeding Mum in our group. Food was great and decent value for money.

food was ‘pub grub’ as was expected. Staff polite and very attentive. Lovely cozy atmosphere

Very happy with our service and also our lunch today - CB

Great food and atmosphere will be back for the catch of the day

A fantastic local pub. We enjoyed our food and the service was excellent.

Excellent service, good food freshly cooked and real ales. Gets busy so booking recommended.

Brilliant food, super service and cheery atmosphere -can't ask for more !

Staff very friendly. Food was good quality and tasty. The atmosphere was lively. We really enjoyed our visit.

Very Good Food with prompt table service, classic Scottish style country pub, menu with Scottish dishes and a good range of beers, spirits and wines.

My son is at Herriot Watt ,when we come to visit him we have enjoy a family meal here .The food and service is very good .The pub/Restuarant has a cosy and friendly atmosphere .This was our 3rd visit since September and look forward to fitting in a few more before he finishes Uni .#greatfind

We had a great meal, great service and was reasonably priced. We will definitely return if in the area again. Well worth a visit. 😊

A delightful lunch with an ex-colleague in a bar with a cosy and friendly atmosphere - good food and service as ever Looking forward to returning very soon

Booked a group at very short notice - delighted to get the table so near to Christmas Lovely lunch which we pre-booked - very good indeed thank you

Good pub food served by friendly, efficient staff in a traditional inn. Extensive menu. Good selection of beers on tap. Make sure you book in advance at weekends.

Good food, atmosphere and a nice selections of drinks. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable on current food and drink selection. Service is quick and with a smile. Very happy with my second visit. My wife had the breaded Camembert to start which was lovely. I had the chicken and black pudding terrine which was nice but a bit cold and hard, still nice once eaten! For main course I had the small fish and chips as I wasn't sure of sizes but would definitely go for the large the next time. I think small is probably fine for a light bite and possibly a hungry child. Fish was well cooked and batter not too oily. Came with mushy peas and tartar sauce. My wife had the chicken in peppercorn sauce with haggis bon bons which was well cooked and was satisfying. We had a bottle of pinot grigio also, which came in a chiller with ice. Glasses were clean. All in all a nice pub and restaurant. Will visit again.

We were here for family birthday and there were 7 of us. Our order was taken quickly and the food was served promptly. The Meals were excellent and staff very efficient.

Lovely place, menu has the sort of pub grub you want after a country walk, food is delicious and served quickly, which is great when you’re with kids.

Amazing the food the service the staff are incredible and nothing is to much bother, on arrival our table was was set lovely with the high chair requested... amazing

Good place to meet friends! Good food, well prepared and nicely presented. Staff are attentive and responsive. Restaurant warm and cosy after a chilly hill walk. Recommended!

There were real fires burning in the grates when we arrived for lunch. The country-style pub-restaurant is very welcoming; we sat in a booth facing the bar, which was well stocked with a full range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The food and service were excellent, and the quantities were generous. Indeed, I did not have room for dessert. I will happily recommend the Riccarton Inn to others.

Good food freshly prepared, excellent service and good value for money

The service was pretty slow and we had to ask for our orders to be taken, more drinks, the bill etc. but apart from that the food was really nice and the staff were all friendly. Will be back soon!

Prompt efficient and friendly service from the young lady who attended our table Food was well presented, quite delicious and the empty plates told the rest Not too expensive either, so good value all round Thank you

I had the beer battered haddock, which was lovely. My friend had the macaroni cheese, though nice, was a little bit greasy. The pub has a nice relaxed atmosphere, with very pleasant staff.

Food delicious but had to send starter of soup as not hot enough for both of us. Everything else was super defiantly go back and try food again.

Friendly staff. Good choice of food. Tastey food. Good value. Cosy relaxed atmosphere. Could have a better selection on the menu for vegan/ vegetarians. Definitely go back.

You always get quality food and good service. Servings are large great value. I have eaten here regularly over the past 6 years and have never experienced anything other than good food.

Lovely meal ,the Cullen skink best I have had in a long time. Hubby had the burger .very busy and staff very pleasant would recommend. ☺

myself and friends had a wonderful time the food was excellent as well as the service we had a toddler the staff were great we will be back lunch next time

Good food, way better than average, attentive staff, lovely ambience in a period building. Family friendly, although not usually many children present. Full bar available.

The Riccarton inn continues to provide excellent service and food at very reasonable prices. There is a friendly atmosphere from the moment you walk in, which is a credit to the staff, even when they are busy. I regularly take visiting friends there and have not once had someone who hasn't enjoyed their visit. We continue to eat and drink here for occasions such as a family dinner out, to more formal celebrations.

Food good, staff friendly. Service unusually slow and disorganised, for some reason.

Very helpful and and kind staff. Food was really nice. Atmosphere was great and the restaurant was nice and cosy and well decorated. We're new to the area and will be back.

The staff were very attentive efficient, the food was lovely & speedy and the pub; very cosy & a lovely atmosphere, all in all a great evening!

Food was excellent and there was a nice atmosphere. Staff were polite and attentive though they did forget to bring our water and I had to remind them. We will dine there again.

Food was very enjoyable, and recommend to others and would go again. The place was clean, comfortable and the service was excellent. Enjoyed the evening.

Lovely food and surroundings. Good value for money and great service. Limited menu, but the choices really suited us and the food was of very good quality with generous portions. A thoroughly enjoyable visit - would certainly return and no hesitation in recommending to othets.

Service was good but the fish was a bit greasy and the chips were a bit wee. Was better the last time we were there.
