A vegan has blasted a Scots restaurant after finding a rude note allegedly left by the waiting staff.
Lisa Cooney from Edinburgh was dining at Ravelston House in Musselburgh with her family on Sunday (May 30) and politely asked which options were vegan friendly.
She says she was handed a menu with circled items before noticing a note fall on the floor which read "The vegan sh*** has been circled", Edinburgh Live reports.
Lisa told how she was left feeling extremely disappointed by the experience.
She said: "I dined today for lunch with family who are visiting for the weekend.
"I asked what options were vegan and the barman said he would ask the chef, he came back with the menu which had the items circled and he put the note on the bar, it fell from the bar and my dad picked it up and showed it to me.
"When I first read it I was in disbelief, then I was angry and upset, it's insulting and so unprofessional, also the total disregard for any potential allergy is a worry.
"For a chef to have that mentality is quite shocking. I went and spoke to the manager after my family had finished their meal, he apologised and agreed the note wasn't acceptable."
After speaking to staff, Lisa added that an assistant manager had spoken to her as they left, and was "much more understanding" to the situation.
Edinburgh Live contacted Ravelston House for comment.
