Gullane (possibly from Scottish Gaelic Gualainn, meaning 'ridge') is a town on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth in East Lothian on the east coast of Scotland. There has been a church in the village since the ninth century. The ruins of the Old Church of St. Andrew built in the twelfth century can still be seen at the western entrance to the village; the church was abandoned after a series of sandstorms made it unusable, and Dirleton Parish Church took its place.

Went in for a wee quiet drink lovely place inside but the prices for the drinks was extortionate plus the fact the first round was dearer than the second for the same drinks very puzzlingDon't know how a computerised system can print different prices? £3.80 real ale, £4.85 glass white or red wine Expensive??Malcolm.

Although have been to the Heather room and Deveau's more recently not been to the library for some time. Another really good meal with attentive service. If you haven't been to the Open Arms you should try it as it's a really nice country house hotel whether to go for coffee or visit one of the four restaurant rooms.

My husband and myself always make for this little place to eat at the end of a beach day in lovely Gullane. An excellent menu, reasonable prices, comfortable surroundings and service with a smile. And dogs welcome too! Keep up the good work because it really is much appreciated. Oh, and enjoy the rosé.......you deserve it!

Heard good things about restaurant & knew its was overpriced but expected that, so decided to booked a table anyway, wish we'd went elsewhere, we arrived & got seated given menus & within 3 minutes a waitress appeared & just looked at us without speaking when I looked up I was greeted with a stoney face & asked "ready to order" we said no but could we order a drink she just rolled her eyes at us, got drinks then ordered, husband ordered haggis, neeps & tatties, you'd need binoculars to find the neeps, I ordered soup with was nice but lukewarm, starter was sausage & onion gravy & fish & chips, gravy around the sausage was thick like treacle & tasted very bitter, the potatoes were nicely mashed though, the fish & chips, the fish batter was very greasy & what was with the one little lettuce leaf stuck on the side of the plate. If your looking for great food & pleasant atmosphere stick to your usual haunts.
5. Afternoon Tea at Greywalls Hotel

My friend and I won vouchers for afternoon tea here for two so we decided to take our daughters for a treat and were really looking forward to it. But we were all very disappointed. On arrival we were the only people there. We were served our coffees and drinks way before the afternoon tea was actually served and therefore had to order more drinks. My daughters friend ordered a hot chocolate that we had to return as it was obviously instant and made with hot water and was disgusting. When we ordered our second lot of drinks my daughters mocha had hardly any chocolate in it and she couldnât drink it and then they forgot to bring my friends second coffee. By this time there were two other tables in and only one girl to serve all of us. The sandwiches and scones were nice however some of the cakes were very sweet and for me that is saying something given I have a very sweet tooth. Overall I have had far better in East Lothian for a lot less money. Just glad we werenât paying for it.

As ever, the hospitality and ambience at Greywalls proved to be second-to-none. Lunch too was great, although we were there on the first day of a new abbreviated lunchtime menu that harks back to bar-food and snacks rather than the full three courser to which we have become happily accustomed. I feel that this is a mistake. Sure, offer this style of service in the bar, but please provide a pukka lunchtime service for those wanting to sit down for a couple of hours. The food itself was great - no doubt about it - and the 4 course tasting plate option was an interesting offer (served mezze or thali-style on one large platter - meaning that the dessert has to be wrapped in tissue to keep it warm, or the entire meal has to be wolfed down sharpish - the option I chose). Service was as bright and friendly as ever although there was some uncertainty - on this opening day - regarding the precise nature of the plates on offer. It is plain to see why Greywalls has decided to adopt this course: It smacks of efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Perhaps, in time, I will come to love it but I can't deny a hankering for the traditional regime - and a good digestif!Thankyou for yet another lovely afternoon Greywalls. I hope you won't mind my offering an opinion.

We went with high hopes given the word on the street. My wife had a decent experience a few years ago so we thought we'd give it a go.Atmosphere was very busy so dont go if you prefer things a bit quieter.Starters were interesting and not bad. Thai style chicken and korean dumplings.I went for haggis main but later in the night was to regret it. Enough said. I remember it wasnt the warmest when I ate it and the potato mash had obviously been stuck to the heating pan - heated too quickly? Thats what you get for not returning food you are unhappy with and wouldnt prepare for yourself.My wifes veggie burger was ok.Needless to say we were disappointed. My tip go when less busy.Servers are pleasant and welcoming tho'.Dear WeirdfizI am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your visit to The Old Clubhouse.I must insist however that whatever disagreed with you would have been nothing to do with the food you consumed here. Our haggis is prepared to order and cooked in a steam convection oven for a specific length of time. If this had been what made you ill, we would have had another 20 complaints on the same day.I fail to see how your mashed potato could be described as stuck to the heating pan when it is cooked in the same way as the haggis, for the same length of time. It would be impossible for one to be overcooked, and the other 'not the warmest'.Dominic CampanileGeneral Manager

We (granddaughter, daughter-in-law and I) often visit here for lunch and it is always very good. Lovely staff, best quiche Lorraine - served with fresh slaw and salad - and if the granddaughter would like an egg roll she can have one. No fuss. Delicious cakes (chocolate tart!!!) and scones.

There is a degree of formality about the restaurant with it's understated elegance. The Owners greeting is quiet and unassuming as he guides you through the menu and wine list. The food was beautifully cooked, well presented and tasted delicious. The only downside was the two young waitresses who did not know the menu and any request was answered with "I'll need to ask". I think they could be better trained. That aside, we had a great evening and I hope we'll be back.PS avoid the bread - it's too good and I ate too much!
