East Lothian's seaside food destination — Lobster Shack, Bostock, and the coastal route
North Berwick is the East Lothian coastal town that's become a proper food destination over the last decade. The Lobster Shack on the harbour-front pier (open in the warmer months) serves freshly-landed shellfish and is a Scottish seaside staple. Bostock Bakery has built a national reputation for sourdough, pastries, and properly-made bread — their Edinburgh and North Berwick locations are both worth a visit. The Saturday weekly farmers market (when running) showcases East Lothian growers. The wider East Lothian coast — Aberlady, Tantallon, Dunbar — gives a coastal food route that pairs with Edinburgh's restaurant scene 30 minutes west.
