Absolutely fantastic. The quality of the food is amazing. Best steak and ale pie I've tasted. Service also excellent in this great family run restaurant. I would drive down from Scotland, just for dinner. In for dinner once again, Thursday fish and chips, amazing, includes tea/coffee, bread and butter. Best fish and chips I've tasted. If your in Ashkirk near Selkirk you must eat here. Check opening times and give them a bit of notice. Great deals too.

What a hidden gem. Food is freshly made and wonderfully seasoned. Had the soup of the day (carrot ginger) and steak pie. Would go back there any day!

Excellent service and food. We arrived at 7:30 and wondered whether we were too late for food as the website says it closes at 8pm. However we welcomed in and a table was cleaned and prepared for us. Really good home cooked food and you must have one of the puddings. If you’re in the area, I can’t recommend it enough!!
