I have often driven by the duddingston arms and thought about stopping in for a meal. On this occasion myself and my family decided to stop in for Sunday Lunch. The restaurant is very nice and homely inside and we were seated really quickly, and we're looking forward to a great Sunday lunch. The menu looked good although I was... More

I've passed the Duddingston Arms for a few years with work and only just got round to booking a meal here. It was definitely worth the wait though. We decided on a starter and main course instead of our usual main and dessert. Starters were the breaded mushrooms and chicken gougons. The size of the portions was a surprise -... More

Visited last night with friends. The staff couldn't be friendlier and more helpful, however the standard of food didn't live up to the service. Nothing was made fresh and all the food we had was either frozen or from the microwave. The Movenpick ice cream was the only plus point from the meal. More

Very glad you enjoyed our service standards but I am sorry you felt the food was not up to scratch. We do try to provide a varied menu and as such don't make everything from scratch but do try to use the best possible products we can in our pub food menu. I do hope you will return again to... More

This is a really lovely pub. I've been a few times with friends and we love the reange of ales on offer, the relaxed and fresh atmosphere and good food. The staff are friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food, drinks and conversation are all great here and I'm glad I live nearby to enjoy it! If you walk/drive... More

With my family, I go here at least 3-4 times a month. The prices are reasonable, the food excellent and the people working here are really friendly. They also serve great beer and wine, along with a wide selection of food. On almost every occasion I have had one of their great burgers, my family are a little more adventurous... More

they make no apologies for their simplistic pub grub and why should they? where else can folks get such good food in a bar/lounge? the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is lovely, a few locals and a few visitors all combined to make a great atmosphere. we have visited the Duddingston arms several times when in the area...

Had lunch with friends a few weeks ago - great service, good portions etc. Ate there yesterday. Indifferent service, rock hard battered fish. And sin of sins! COLD PLATES with HOT food. The weak excuse - health & safety, waiting staff would have to carry hot plates from the kitchen - IF this is true, have they not heard of... More

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for us. I'm sorry about your fish, this happens sometimes as we use MSC approved frozen pollack on our menu and sometimes the batter can be hard but we would much rather use this MSC approved product as we know it's better for the planet. As for the cold plates, you... More
