County inn in Scottish Borders

Fantastic visit , food was great and the staff excellent, thank you for a nice experience, will definitely come back or recommend to others

Went in for the afternoon and early evening Sat 26th with friends. Kris was incredibly helpful, sorted a table for the 6 of us and was a great host throughout our time there. Good selection of drinks and big screens for the football too 👌

Cute little pub that has excellent food and atmosphere. My husband and I stopped in for a pint and lunch while visiting Peebles for the day. The staff is friendly, beer is cold, and food is tasty.

Kris was an excellent barman, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome on our trip from ‘up north’ (Fife and East Kilbride 😂). Kris was super helpful booking us a table, and even went the extra mile getting us in straws and likes (for tequila) out his own pocket. Would definitely visit again. What a class place!

Sophie is really in character playing the nun🙌🏼 Terrified the lady next to me but made our experience all that more fun!

Food and service were excellent price included drinks food main and pudding

Good place for a beer and to watch the football, cosy pub

Good Pub, great for watching sport, plenty of screens, good Pub food, just does what says on the tin.

Terrible. They did not book our table even though it was confirmed. The staff did not understand what cross-contamination was. The vegan food was terrible. After paying they then told our guests there mixed grills could not be completed and had to be part substituted. It was a hour wait for food. When it was all served it was terrible. A totoal embarrassment we just ate and left I would not recommend this place its terrible dirty and has terrible service and food.

Had many meals and drinks and they also cater for our four legged friends Highly recommend this bar and eatery

I was in today with my girlfriend , the soup was lovely the haggis fritters and lentil soup were lovely to, my nachos were nice to , however the fish and chips my gf ordered were an absolute disgrace, so much so the fish was half a fish burnt and soggy in the middle, 12 chips also, the fish and chips alone were almost 13 quid. I felt for the staff, run of their feet doing everything, but please do not insult the public by charging what you charge for fish n chips, ihave been coming to the county for years from edinburgh, are you new owners, or is it the greene king thing , some people judge a place on their last experience, if that fish is anything to go by, it will be our last, i know for a fact the complaints about the fish n very little chips will have been many today, we saw people being served the same burnt fish as we left. Sort it or the place as an eatery will dwindle .

Lovely meal portions of small plates are very large. Think my eyes were too big. Food was lovely though.

Point deduction for waiting. 30 mins till food arrived. That said, very busy. No wonder as meals ( small plates) were delicious and well presented. Katsu curry really good. Staff very friendly. Atmosphere very relaxed and warm. Blue light card accepted readily. Will be back soon.

Visited Peebles and ended up in The County for something to eat. As it was Thursday (steak day) I had a lovely Sirloin steak cooked to perfection, my wife had Macaroni with garlic bread which she enjoyed very much.

Food was excellent 👌 my partner said the gammon was the best he had had in a long time, my halloumi wrap with honey was delicious, also the salt and pepper chicken with katsu sauce.. definitely recommend.

Came as a group of 12 after golf. Food was very good, quick and tasty. Bar staff and staff were excellent, nothing too much trouble

Reece served us and was lovely! Good food at a really reasonable price, place has a good vibe as well. Will definitely be back, thankyou :)

Waited an age for food then sent it back as it was luke warm. So disappointed as it should be better than this. Clearly short staffed too. Just not good.

Just exactly what we needed, great menu, atmosphere and very comfortable, staff were top notch and super friendly. Food was very quickly served and delicious

Really nice lunch with daughter and grandson

Came in for dinner staff where lovely very friendly food was lovely will be back next time I am back in peebles great atmosphere

We visited here for some food and drinks, we weren't disappointed. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and the service was first class. Good variety of food choice and drinks. The staff are so friendly, very welcoming and accommodating. Would definitely visit here In The future. Good value for money also.

Very good atmosphere and top service and staff!

Of the many places I ate at throughout my trip, this was hands down the best! They were super busy with a 45 minute wait for food late in the evening, but well worth it. Fun staff, fun customers, great atmosphere, excellent food & drink! Bathrooms are up stairs and through doors...use them before you've had too much to drink! Dog friendly!

Just drinks but very nice pub and reasonable prices compared to Edinburgh. Food did look good though.

Great ambience, lively atmosphere. The staff is polite and friendly. Food offering is from all classics of pubs menus and, if someone is looking for it, they also have vegetarian/vegan options Recommended

Came here during a short, nearby holiday. We actually came 2 days in a row because of the lovely atmosphere. Having a 3 year old means we like a table in a corner away from others where possible and this suited us perfectly. The first trip there was excellent, and the food was great, especially for a fussy wee one! The second time it seemed like they were understaffed, and unfortunately they didn't come out with ice cream for our daughter after a long wait so we left, but luckily there's an ice cream place directly across the road, so disappointment and tantrums averted! These things happen though, and the staff were otherwise great, and friendly.

Enjoyed a very very tasty gf mushroom chilli with a gf Peroni. Friendly staff

Ordered two bbq chicken and cheese panins from the Menu. When they came the paninis had definetly been under the grill to long. We should have sent them back but mentioned at end of meal to waiter. Was dissapointed by his respone and lack of customer service. Will not be eating there again.

If there was a 0 star rating option then I would definitely choose it. Decided to visit this place to have food after a 5 hour car journey, to have what we thought an amazing meal. Well I was definitely wrong. Started off when ordering starters. We specifically asked for a side dish to be brought over with our mains, however it arrived along with our starters. Obviously not life changing, but still slightly inconvenient. Additionally, we waited over an hour for our mains to come, even though the place was pretty much empty, which we were soon to find out why. The first main we ordered was a halloumi pitta bread, which was more like gloomy pitta bread as it was harder than a brick and looked like someone had vomited on it. The second main was a “honey chicken burger”, but I guess I had mistaken it for a plate of salt with a side of burger, as it looked like it had an entire bottle of salt poured on top of my meal, which was sickening to look at, never mind eat. The third main was fish and chips. The batter was crusty and the fish looked as if the was caught in the Anglo Saxon period. After reviewing the state of our “food”, we decided it would be best to not end up being sick later that evening, so ended up finding somewhere else to eat. The waitress was very apologetic, and it’s understood that it was not her fault, however as I said above, we arrived after a 5 hour car journey so we were starving and just wanted food, so this was very frustrating as we then had to find another place to eat at 8pm. The waitress asked if we would like a refund, which was accepted however we only got half of, and then after questioning why, they were apparently “unable to issue a refund”. Maybe the till is as old as the fish? Will definitely not be returning in the future and would not recommend to anyone that enjoys not being sick after their food.

Has the cost of living gone too far? I visited the County Inn in Peebles on Sunday 21st July 2024 with a friend for a late lunch. I ordered the Beyond Meat Burger for £10.69 which is supposed to come with “skin on fries” and a portion of onion rings according to the menu. When the food arrived there was a scant portion of around 6-8 standard oven chips scattered thinly across the large oval plate and the onion rings were absent. When I enquired about the onion rings the waiter brought me a while enamel oven dish with a grand total of 2 onion rings, one of them regular sized and another tiny one the size of a 10p coin. I could not believe that food service standards have slipped so low that 2 onion rings and 6 chips counts as one adult-sized portion. I would not even count that as a child-sized portion. What will be next, charging to breathe the air inside the pub? I work in the local tourism industry and will not be dining here again nor recommending the place to my guests. The management should seriously think about their pricing, portion sizes and whether they can still run a viable business when they can only offer meagre portion sizes that would not fill the stomach of a baby.

Lovely chill pub for lunch service can be a bit slow but we enjoy it

Food was basic but well prepared. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would recommend it if you want somewhere to eat in Peebles

Part of greene king chain. Busy pub, prices a bit higher than our local greene king in Glasgow. Didn't have scotyish special available on menu.

Great food and service! Loved the simple and tasty food. Thanks alot

Brilliant pub live music was good but too loud

very good meal as usual as oldies our only gripe is the toilets a route march up the stairs would love to see downstairs loos for everyone

Really nice place for a munch (and probably a pint or 2 as well). Friendly and welcoming staff and the tables were nice and clean, which is always a good sign. We stopped off on a Sunday afternoon for some lunch and were definitely not disappointed. My wife got the beef pie with chips, veg and gravy and loved every single morsel. Really great quality beef and she said the gravy was exceptionally good. I went for the salt and pepper chicken strips with chips, grilled veg and katsu sauce which was also phenomenal. Both servings were very generous considering they were only ~£10 each! Will definitely be back!

Amazing food, very friendy & attentive staff...10/10

Was in for lunch today (Wednesday the 12th of June) just about bang on 12 noon when they opened. The lady who served us was great! She was friendly and very efficient too taking orders, running the food and checking back to make sure everything was alright with all the guests. A big step up since last time I visited a year or so ago with the nice addition of the pool table room at the back too. Katsu curry was great as always at Greeneking pubs. Keep up the good work guys will visit again next time I am in town!

This is a corporate (Belhaven) Pub but one that I liked. Great beer selecton, friendly bartenders and a good setting for such a large pub. Did not try the food.

Very pleasant atmosphere with a friendly staff. The food is good and the service excellent! Highly recommend the Hot Honey Halloumi.

Lovely pub/restaurant in the heart of Peebles. Main restaurant is wheelchair accessible and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was really nice and good value for money. Will definetly go back when next in Peebles.

Nipped in with my wife for a bite to eat and a pint. Served by Reece who was very friendly and prompt with everything. Ended up having an issue with the Greene King App which he resolved for me very quickly. Meal and drinks were absolutely delicious!! 10/10 on customer service and meal quality! Very happy (and refreshed!!!).

Great to see a little pub like this very busy and with a great atmosphere.

Have been waiting for 2 hours for my food, absolutely ridiculous. seriously understaffed very slow with serving people. RAGING.

Nice looking place and food is okay (when they actually have what you want to order), but that’s about all it’s got going for it. Every single time I’ve been here, there’s been issues. Either they don’t have stock (like when they didn’t have Jamesons on the very day they advertised the Jamesons promo on facebook) or the staff is rude (one specific guy comes to mind). Service is incredibly slow at times causing us to cancel our order and leave because we waited over 15 minutes for a drink and seeing other people getting their drinks immediately after ordering. I’m disappointed EVERY single time I come here.

Sat outside yesterday and had coffee in the sun, staff were friendly and funny too! Thanks again for the nice coffee and a seat in the sun at the front of the hotel, nice for bikers as plenty seats outside and on street parking.

We went to The County on Friday. They were short staffed and Sam the barman was covering all bases at speed. He did very well. Our turning point came when Ivana arrived. She was absolutely amazing and served us so well. The food was delicious and very reasonable. We enjoyed our time at The County. Well done to Ivana and Sam for their excellent service.

Went in for a pint with my wife while on holiday. Nice pint and friendly staff.

Excellent atmosphere and great food

Very poor pub with average food 😕

Only in for a beer but it seemed a nice place and the service was good. Will be back to try the food another time.

Bought the vegan katsu curry and it was amazing! Portions were massive and the prices were good. My meal and pint of lemonade came to about £12.50 which I believe was well worth it!

I was in last night for my tea I had chix Kiev burger and my husband had a mixed grill. Cooked to perfection thankyou Thomas.

Visit most weeks . The county Inn has a nice atmosphere. Staff are welcoming and friendly . Great pub to be in when any sports fixtures are on . Good menu choices . Chicken wings are great .

Fast friendly service from Ebonie. Good food, well priced. Definitely worth popping in if you're looking for a drink or meal.

Great local that serves good food

Had the misfortune to visit here today when in Peebles on business. Almost everything I asked for , no matter how basic, wasn’t in the menu. Nice pint but left to go elsewhere

If I could give it a zero I would. Worst meal I have ever had. My kids were horrified at the burger, burnt ,tiny and the bun fell apart, obviously had been frozen. We waited an hour for it too Just awful! The bad review is also for the staff, as after we complained we watched them laughing in the kitchen .

My husband and myself took a trip to Peebles to have a little meal for my upcoming birthday. We had the sharing staters of chicken wings and chicken strips then I had the chicken burger and my husband had the cheese and bacon burger. Food was delicious, fresh and hot. Will 100% be back. The chef Thomas cooks the best meals! Highly recommend to everyone.

Visit here every time we are in Scotland. Food is great, drinks are drinks , it's always warm and inviting

Had a delicious lunch. Good value for money and excellent service and atmosphere. Special mention to our server Reece who looked after us very well!

A good, well staffed pub with a friendly atmosphere.

Next time in Peebles will visit again.

Perfect Sunday roast. Lovely staff.

Went in for Sunday roast you could tell they were frozen potatoes and Yorkshire pud, beef overdone not served pink as advertised. Didn’t accept my blue light card even though this is advertised outside and inside. Bar staff sour. Bit of a shame as it’s a nice space. However we appreciated the small selection of board games and being dog friendly.

Great location while visiting family. Great food and drinks and central to where we were staying. Amazing atmosphere with the football being on too

Stopped in here on the way through Peebles & it was great. Lovely food at a great price, served by very pleasant & attentive staff. Will definitely return here

Lovely pub, great food, dog friendly 👍

Very friendly staff, wonderful food at a very good price. My wife, my dog and I all made to feel very welcome. We are in Peebles for a week and are in every night for a drink and/or food. Highly recommend it, especially after a day walking in the hills

Food, service and staff are great here, my husband and I ate here a couple of times and each time its been fantastic! Small plates are particularly nice. Planning to come back soon. Very friendly and welcoming, made us and our dog feel very welcome. Courtney and Sam were extremely helpful during our visit. Highly recommended.

Just had lunch here, service was amazing, food fantastic and such a wide variety to choose from and very reasonable

Had a lovely lunch on Monday 18/03/24. The food was fantastic, good portion sizes (my step mum actually said her Katsu curry was too big a portion!). My father and I had Scampi, chips & peas which was beautiful. Much better than places like wetherspoons. The gentleman who served us was very friendly and polite. I will definitely be going back again!!!

Ate in the bar the food was delicious and good sized portions. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The prices were very good and will definitely come back. The chef is first class.

Lovely pub on the main street in Peebles, popped in for a meeting and was very surprised at the size of the place when you enter, big bar area with tvs, couple of eating areas and a lovely little snug with a table and seating for 2, very private and unusual. Food was nice, just had something off the lunch menu, good coffee and clean toilets. A hidden gem in a lovely little town.

Very inviting atmosphere with friendly staff, great food that was served in a timely manner and with a smile. I will be back.

Nice place to drop in with dog for food. Coffee was a bit strong

Had a lovely time here. Really friendly staff, good, fast food service.

Food was disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Service was pleasant but incompetent.

Reece was very helpful, polite, considerate and welcoming. He is an asset to the business. Thomas the chef - his cooking was amazing. Will definitely be back!

Great value for money, tasty food.. portions could do a wee bigger but overall it’s a great place to have lunch on a Sunday. Service was friendly and polite. Will certainly be back. Side note, roast potatoes were gorgeous.

Popped in for a Sunday roast which was delicious. Me and my mum both thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything was cooked to perfection. Highly recommended the roast.

Went for lunch with family. Food was awful. Fish was cold. Burger overcooked. Portions very small. Would not feed it to a stray dug. Definitely not be back in a hurry.

Waited 40 minutes for an overcooked burger got skinny fries instead of skin on chips ...not the best experience 😕

My friend and I recently turned 18 and went in here early one evening for a drink whilst she was visiting me at uni. Unfortunately we felt very upset throughout our time here, and ultimately only stayed for one drink. When we approached the bar we were instantly made to feel uncomfortable by what we both perceived was cold and rude behaviour from a young woman who seemed to be judging us and our intentions. Her attitude towards us was very different than towards other customers and didn't seem happy at all to be serving us. We both ordered a drink and both provided driving licence ID as expected - no problem. However, she turned to another customer/worker at the bar and seemed to whisper and mutter under her breath as well as rolling her eyes as we were still stood at the bar which I thought was very unprofessional. Throughout our time she kept looking across in our direction and seemed to chat to another member of staff who glanced at us, we later returned our glasses to the bar and left. I wanted to build up the confidence to ask if there was a problem on the way out, but I was too nervous and didn't want to make a scene. I am very aware as a young person myself about the issues of people these days having fake ID's or attempting to buy alcohol underage. However, my friend and I were very responsible and were judged from the moment we walked in. It took a lot of confidence for us both to go in in the first place and I felt like going up and showing pictures of my 18th birthday for proof and a second form of ID. It's such a shame as I had been into this place a few years back and enjoyed a meal with my grandparents who live locally, and we were very pleased the pub had a pool table. I know this is not a common complaint but I want to speak for myself and others who are made to feel this way. Not all teenagers are bad! We are just two young women finding our way through early adulthood and trying to enjoy being 18.

The County has a very relaxed feel about it. If I was to describe it, I'd say it was like a spoons but with atmosphere. We went after having golfed at Cardrona. We were looking for a spot of lunch. We ordered our drinks and after a look at the menu we tried to order food. Sadly, it was a 45 minute wait. We didn't want to wait that long, so we went elsewhere. Menu looked not bad and the small plates menu looked great, reasonably priced also but didn't get to see the size of the portions. Staff were friendly and I'm glad they let us know about the delay on food.

We arrived at a busy spell with only 1chef cooking but barstaff informed us of the wait. Food was great fish delicious and dog friendly..what's not to love 👍

Always a pleasant visit. Good staff, excellent beer. Sadly seems to have taken a downturn of late. A simple "we'll be with you in a moment" would be more welcoming when there's a queue at the bar, and perhaps some instruction in pouring of Guinness would be in order. I'm sure the lack of regular keg ales is down to the season so I'll forgive them that, though a friendly list of options might have alleviated the disappointment at the lack of a favourite tipple.

Lovely wee place. Warm, cosy, great food, and always good banter from the regulars.

My friend and I dropped in to The County for a light lunch and a cup of tea, both of which were really really good. Looking good in the interior of the bar, clean and inviting. I will be back with my wife for a drink and a meal....

Good place, good beer, worth a visit. Quiet at lunchtime which meant getting served quickly.

Lovely, clean and friendly staff. Bigger than it looks from the outside. Just went in for a drink to watch the Saturday football, loads of screens. Will be back.

I'd say the worst meal I've ever had. The decor needs updating seats heavily stained. 2 members of staff on but did their best and will never be back . Wouldn't rate it unless you want to be in for a very disappointing meal. You think with the constant bad reviews that things would improve and yet nothing changed. Foods def cooked from frozen. Burgers tough and the fish !! The batter was wet underneath !

Had a great evening here. Tacos were great as well as the fish and chips- Service was great and with a smile. Nice atmosphere and drinks-

Food is mediocre at best, staff and atmosphere are good. Always stop in for snacks/lunch when in peebles as dog friendly. The provide dog biscuits and water bowls.

Beautiful venue good food and service lovely xmas decorations. Let down was huge screen with football on and way to loud spoilt the Ambience.

Good service and beer but the burgers are the worst I can ever remember eating. Small, dry and cold. 6 of us had burgers and they were all the same so it's not just a one off. Think they cook them early and then keep them warm. Do not order a burger from here!

We went there to have lunch on Saturday after a walk in Peebles. Ordered our drinks which they brought and our food. After 20 min they brought us the starter and after having been waiting for an hour for our pies we asked them politely for a refund. They refund us the money we paid for the pies. They didn’t even mention it was gonna be that long to get the food so we could have chosen to stay or not. Really disappointing experience, we won’t come back.
