Overview
This is a new restaurant and the staff are very helpful and friendly. We booked and as soon as we attracted the attention of the staff they came to the door and helped me get my manual wheelchair into the restaurant. They have a purpose built ramp on order to enable electric chairs to access the venue. The menu is varied and there will be something to meet everybody's taste. I had vegetable fritters in a tempura batter with spicy dips and a rum and white chocolate cheesecake. Photograph attached. A meal in itself. Excellent value for money.
Transport & Parking
North Berwick High Street can be a bit of a nightmare to park in. We were very lucky and parked right outside hence the 5 star rating. If you are unlucky you might find you have to park a long way away.
Access
As I said in the introduction it is fine for manual wheelchairs but it is advisable to book in advance to ensure staff are pre-warned. There is more than ample room to manoeuvre the chair in the restaurant. 3 star rating only because it is not accessible for electric wheelchairs yet. Watch this space or the restaurant's website.
Toilets
A very large, well appointed toilet. Not quite big enough to turn around in but great all the same.
Staff
Very welcoming and friendly. Drinks order taken promptly and waitress came for the food order as soon as they saw we had read the menu and were ready. Staff were very attentive but not 'in your face'.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
I visit Leuchie House regularly. I am always on the look out for great lunch experiences in the area. I found this new gem on North Berwick High Street yesterday and recommend it to anyone in the area.
