The Linton Hotel recently won the award for The Best Hotel Meal in East Lothian.
• The award is based on a secret review of the hotel which is carried out months before the ceremony itself
• Everyone is then reviewed on a rather large list of things including, service, use and knowledge of local produce, the menu, the food, the toilets, the restaurant area itself etc
• Each category then has a Winner, a Runner up and new for this year a customer service award
