The Leddie

My son and I had dinner here last night. We split the Cullen Skink, which was the best I've had in a really long time. I had the asparagus papperdelle with wild and peas, and my son had the chicken, bacon, and leek pie. Both were delicious. This was by far the best meal we've had in East Lothian in a really long time. Service was amazing from Jamie and Maddie. Professional and friendly. Highly recommend 👌

So disappointing to find myself longing for the most basic of things in a competitive hospitality market…..service. Found myself negotiating for a food service and twisting the arm of staff to serve a walk in table of 6. It was not a busy night yet it could not be clearer how inconvenient our arrival was. I think i cleared the table myself three times of glasses and approached the bar requesting drinks after we were left abandoned by the younger, entitled staff of tomorrow. Similarly our request for a cocktail post dinner was met with distain…how dare we. Beyond that we almost had to beg to pay, such a hardship. I enjoy all the East Lothian bars/restaurants and have seen them evolve over the years, but wow, this place thinks its a cut above but its so far from a proper experience.

Spent a day and night at The Leddie with two friends as a treat with their Spring Dinner Bed & Breakfast deal. We had a lovely time. Aberlady is a smashing little town so The Leddie is well located. The hotel is beautifully decorated, from the reception and lounge area right through to the rooms. We enjoyed the food, both dinner and breakfast, and also the cocktails! What stood out for us was the staff. Even from the booking process, which due to us was a wee bit complicated and had to be rearranged, the staff were wonderful. Warm and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble, even with the hotel being busy - and that goes for every member of staff we encountered. I'm gushing here a bit because it was that good and really made our stay delightful.
