“Dining and dozing at Duck's”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay at Ducks on Friday night. A very comfortable room, (2 grateful Jack Russell Terriers were allowed to spend the night in the room - which is always a bonus!) and a fantastic meal in the restaurant. Our group of 10 or so thoroughly enjoyed the meal, delicious treats were in store for us and portion sizes that allowed for enjoyed every course! The dark chocolate fondant with raspberry ice cream was DELICIOUS!!!
Many thanks Duck for such a super evening!

“Working Trip”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Stayed at Ducks for 4 nights while working in Haddington, the room was clean and warm, the food and beer were amazing.

But most of all the staff and owner, Malcolm were very friendly and made my stay away from home easier.

More work so will be back soon

“Lovely meal, excellent hosts.”

My husband, father-in-law and vegetarian son and I enjoyed our meal on 27th December. We found it very hard to choose from the extensive menu presented, as everything sounded delightful.
We really enjoyed the choices we eventually made, and enjoyed a relaxed, unrushed meal in pleasant surroundings with friendly staff.
My son was thrilled with his vegetarian meal, so often the veggie option is mediochre, but here it was superb. Desserts were lovely too, and the presentation was first class.
We found Duck's by accident, on our journey from Nottingham to Edinburgh, but next time will plan to return.
Thank you for a lovely meal.
Graeme and Judith

“Lunch at Donalds Bistro”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

After an enjoyable round of golf down in windswept Gullane today, we decided to have a late lunch at Donalds Bistro (part of the Ducks Hotel) on our way back to Edinburgh. Great food (clean plates all round!!) and made us feel very welcome. Pretty wide selection to choose from on the bistro menu and definately a few other choices that I'd like to try the next time I'm down in East Lothian.

“Lunch at Ducks”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

My husband and I had a delicious pub lunch at the Ducks this weekend. The food was great, portions just right, and the beer was good too. They have just installed TVs in the lounge area, but this doesn't impinge on other diners. They also now have a choice of menus from lights bites, through bar meals to full a la carte, so something to please everyone!

Nice atmosphere too, will be back soon!

I am glad you enjoyed yourselves and thank you very much for taking the time to write. I hope we see you back soon, the new Coffee Shop menu is doing well with lots of folk popping in for a quick bite when out walking, bird walking, driving down the coast or seeing friends.

From your comments I gather you ate in Donald's, the bar bistro.
