The food was great, the service was friendly, the staff was accommodating (our reservation was happily changed last minute due to road closures caused by bad weather), and the atmosphere was cozy.

During our week in the Borders, we tried three dog-friendly restaurants, but we found ourselves coming back to this one twice. On our first visit, I had the most delicious Cream of Chicken and Mushroom soup I've ever had. It was so exceptional that others around us were also raving about it. My wife enjoyed the garlic bread, which was better than usual. The Haddock and Chips were excellent, and my wife loved the chicken Goujons. We returned for a second visit that week and both ordered the Goujons again, which came with a mango dip and chips and salad. They were fantastic and very filling, and even our dog got a taste. The Chef deserves a pay raise, and the servers did an outstanding job, earning a generous tip. Thank you!

As another reviewer said its got an 'old school ambience ' family owned, dependable and unceasingly good. So we stopped for lunch it was a Monday and most of the tables in the bar were taken always a good sign. Our menu choices were spot on, especially the kedgeree. Must do dinner some time.....

We wanted to eat on a Wednesday in October and it was fully booked !, managed to make a reservation for the Friday but for 18.15 that wasn't ideal for us but we decided to go for it. We were first customers in the restaurant which is beautiful, so impressed with how the tables are dressed and beautiful flowers. Shortly after we had many guests around us the atmosphere came alive. The staff were top notch , great food and wine. Couldn't recommend it high enough, we will go out of our way to go back again .
