Do not let the "locals' only" vibe of the front pub turn you off! This is a hidden gem of spectacular service and excellent food. Try the Haggis Bon Bons-- the whiskey sauce will make you cry with joy. The Steak Pie is delicious. The staff were all absolutely lovely. If you're staying anywhere near Gorebridge, check this place out.

The Fisherman Pie, which was Haddock, Smoked Haddock and Salmon in a Creamy Leek & Chive Sauce, topped with Mash Potato and Isle of mull Cheddar, was delicious. Even the Seasonal Vegetables, which were served with the pie was really good. On top of that, they had a nice long list of ciders to select from and they had the Kopparberg Strawberry & Lime, which is one of my favorites.

On entering it is a spacious and cosy looking bar that is definitely suited for tourists with a collection of beer mats almost being used as wallpaper to cover most of the free space behind the bar, some of which I had never even heard of! The decor and feel to the sitting area itself is traditional with a modern fusion, little tweaks like old spirit bottles (JD mainly) being used as candle holders are excellent to the vibe of the place and really let you settle happily in to one of the booths and take the surroundings in. We went in here because my better half was feeling hungry (I was saving myself for the North Berwick Fry which is just next door to the Ship Inn, in hindsight I should have eaten here) and decided to pop in here for a drink & a bit of lunch/dinner, we definitely weren't disappointed. A chicken and bacon burger was ordered and a chicken and bacon burger it was. Where the chicken that this chicken breast came from I don't know but it was definitely doing some serious weightlifting and bulking up. It was MASSIVE, in all it's chickeny beauty I found it hard to resist taking a huge bite out of the burger. Long stoy short, I ended up taking a huge bite out of the burger. The chicken was beautifully juicy for general pub grub and the bacon was lovely, sweet but slightly salted which gelled all the flavours of the breaded chicken and the toasted roll together. Thinking about it now, I'm getting hungry again. Every time I have a pub burger, the side salad always lets it down, every time, it's like the bars expect people not to eat it, but not this bar. The salad was crisp and fresh, served up with a deliciously sweet vinaigrette that was perfect for dipping a wee bit of the roll in. The spirit measures were 35ml and the guest ales on offer covered breweries such as Innis & Gunn and The Inveralmond Brewery (who do beers such as Lia Fail and Ossian) which justified the bar being about 60-70p more expensive than the others we visited.

I love Maysons. It's…read morea great, loving pub. Full disclosure: I am not a native to Dalkeith, or Scotland, or Europe. But I feel at home in Maysons. I've enjoyed Maysons dozens of times. It felt the same 10 years ago as it does today, except for a few upgrades. The TVs have turned to flat screens. The bathroom was recently painted. This is Dalkeith, folks. Nothing but the best. My first experience at Maysons was as a wee 21 year old exchange student. Full head of hair. Low alcohol tolerance. Wide eyes. This is the closest pub to where the Wisconsin exchange students live and learn. I know that I learned more in the streets and pubs of Scotland than I did in the classes. Although, I certainly retained more from the classes. Pub lessons are simply ingrained and carried in your DNA. The staff, especially Gav, is remarkable. Gav looks like he could beat the piss from you in a brawl or a race or a drinking game or a push-up competition. He also might beat you at snagging a lass. But he's friendly and attentive and exemplifies the quick-witted Scottish humor that endears any visitor. You'll notice name plates on the walls for old regulars and lots of shaved heads. The men in Scotland can be intimidating. But they can also be hilarious and fun and affectionate drinking buddies. It's nearly impossible to match wits with a Scotsman as he barbs you with that killer dialect. There is a back room for pool. Or you can use it for privacy during a make-out session. Or for a quick snorting or stomping or stabbing. You know, druggin' & thuggin'. Use your best judgement and please be discrete. Wouldn't want to draw attention. Maysons may enjoy the kissing and game playing, but keep the drugging and thugging outside. There are some convenient alleys nearby which contain a number of 90 degree turns for your quiet moments. Use them as you wish. But always remember the CCTV. Don't let my poorly crafted jokes deter you from Maysons. It is a great, small, authentic pub. It's a great place to relax. Mind the cobblestone streets as you stumble home. They jump up out of nowhere.

A two course lunch, main meal with either a starter or sweet course, costs only £5.25 a bargain! Food is well cooked and attractively presented. The waitress is friendly as is the landlord.
