The Leddie Launches Seasonal Summer Menu Showcasing the Best of Local Produce

The Leddie, the award-winning boutique retreat in Aberlady, has unveiled its seasonal summer menu. Drawing on the rich bounty of East Lothian's local larder, the new seasonal selection highlights locally sourced ingredients and fresh, vibrant flavours. From garden-grown herbs to locally sourced seafood, the menu reflects The Leddie's continued commitment to sustainability, quality, and culinary excellence. The menu ranges from light lunches in the beer garden to hearty post-golf dinners. The Leddie team has expertly designed the seasonal menu to cater to all tastes and occasions. The Leddie's AA Rosette restaurant invites guests to savour the season in true East Lothian style. Highlights include vibrant summer salads such as a classic Caesar with a choice of chicken or prawns, and a daily rotation of fresh seafood specials sourced directly from nearby shores. The centrepiece of the summer kitchen is The Leddie Grill, where guests can enjoy premium cuts from award-winning East Lothian butcher, John Gilmore. A selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes also features prominently, including seasonal asparagus, pea and wild garlic pappardelle with parmesan, and The Leddie Falafel Burger, served with baby gem, tomato, gherkins, harissa mayo and fries. The beer garden offers the ideal setting to soak up the long, light Scottish evenings, perfect for casual al fresco dining or drinks with friends. Located just 30 minutes from Edinburgh, it is a coastal escape 'that feels a world away'. Robert Clark, General Manager of The Leddie, said: We're incredibly proud of what the team have created for this year's summer menu. At The Leddie, we believe in championing local producers and letting seasonal ingredients speak for themselves. This new menu celebrates the region's best – from the fields, the coast, and everything in between. Whether it's a relaxed lunch in the garden or dinner after a day on the links, we're proud to offer something for every guest to enjoy.' Like this: Like Related

Barry Fish: Where ‘Barry' truly means good

Seventeen years ago, The Shore was my regular stomping ground when I worked for a PR agency in the area. Back then, I frequented sandwich bars rather than the Michelin-starred restaurants that now line the shoreline. How times have changed! The Shore has become Scotland's premier dining destination, boasting three Michelin stars, a new Michelin Bib Gourmand, and even a two AA Rosette restaurant aboard Scotland's only five-star luxury floating hotel. It was high time I hopped on a tram to revisit this thriving coastal neighbourhood, specifically to check out Barry Fish, the latest addition to Leith's impressive culinary scene. The 'Barry' in 'Barry Fish' comes from the Scottish word for 'good' – the website playfully notes it's 'a Scottish word for good, also a man's name.' Having followed Chef Barry Bryson's career for years, I can attest that Barry is indeed not only a good man but an exceptionally good chef. After more than 14 years as an international specialist events chef, Barry has now established his permanent home in what's been dubbed Edinburgh's 'coolest neighbourhood.' His impressive resume includes cooking for the British Embassy in Uruguay and collaborating with luxury brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Rolls Royce. His client list features notable names such as TV chef Nigel Slater and artists Tracy Emin and Anya Gallacio – achievements proudly displayed on a wall of framed prints and newspaper articles near the restaurant's loos. My connection with Barry dates back to 2012 when he catered events at a law firm where I worked and ran the café at Jupiter Artland, a hidden gem of a sculpture park outside Edinburgh. I've even had the privilege of cooking for him and his partner Robin – and they lived to tell the tale! A fish restaurant wouldn't normally be my first choice, given my fish and seafood allergy. However, friends who were quick to try Barry Fish assured me the menu included plenty for non-fish eaters, specifically recommending the croquettes and 'The Big Pie.' The 34-cover restaurant and bar's exterior is understated, occupying what used to be part of Mimi's cake house. My window seat offered prime people-watching over the bus stop outside while I waited for my dining companion. There's even a private oval table curtained off near the back where diners are welcome to bring their dogs. The interior, designed by Barry's husband Robin with their friend Kay Bennet, creates a sea of calm that mirrors the Water of Leith flowing just outside. The open-plan kitchen allows diners to watch Barry and his team – Robbie Johnstone and Tom Pethwick – at work. The glamorous and efficient restaurant manager Manon (sporting a beautiful green silk charity shop find) commands the front of house with impressive skill. We deliberately staggered our order, only requesting mains after finishing our starters. I have an aversion to being rushed while dining, preferring breathers between courses. The staff warned this might cause delays as dishes are cooked to order, but we were happy with a more relaxed experience. As predicted by my friends, my choices hit the mark perfectly: Pork Confit Croquettes with rouille, a garlicky, mayonnaise-like sauce from Provence, France, known for its spicy, rust-coloured appearance from the Big Snacks menu, followed by The Big Pie – a rich, intense beef cheek Bourguignon with pancetta, accompanied by perfectly chargrilled hispi cabbage and tender stem broccoli. My companion's whole seabass with shrimp chicken butter was reportedly 'something else'. Though thoroughly satisfied, we shared the Marmalade Ice Cream for dessert – one of only three sweet options. Barry later revealed this is made by combining homemade Seville Orange Marmalade with vanilla ice cream and brûléeing the top, creating a delightful balance of flavours and textures. In Barry's own words: 'Barry Fish is designed for everyone. We are not a special occasion restaurant, but we do want to be a special restaurant. It's about creating something that fits well with a community of diners – that's who I am.' I couldn't have summed it up better myself, even as a non-fish eater. Barry Fish is certainly living up to the hype generated by those lucky enough to secure a booking. In Leith's increasingly star-studded dining scene, it manages to be both special and accessible – much like the man himself. Barry Fish is located at 62 Shore, Leith, Edinburgh To Book – 0131 6250 000. Instagram – Facebook – Photo credits: Nicholas Elliott (Cromeans Productions) and Kerry Teakle. Like this: Like Related
