Hunters Hall in Scottish Borders

Toilets are very dirty, not cleaned mess in first two cubicles. Staff swearing in front of customers staff having breaks off shift talking about other members of staff in earshot of customers not a great look.

Went for a late lunch and ended up staying long time later. Staff are so helpful and you can laugh with them

Five of us had a meal and drinks ordered on the app food very small portions but what you got was nice

Typical spoons cheap cheerful and great for people watching

We've had good service and friendly staff and the food was well cooked both times we went

1st time visit . Nice little quaint establishment

You know what you get with Wetherspoons. Cheap and cheerful.

Just what you expected from a wetherspoons,

Lovely meal,nice friendly staff..

Great food at a great price, thoroughly enjoyed my meal today. Big thank you to the handsome young man who was so helpful and polite! Thank heavens for free coffee refills too! 15 July.

Food ok.good value for money. Beer very good. The surroundings are quite nice. Typical wetherspoons pub.

Great place for meeting family and friends or just reading a book with a nice Latte! Staff are very friendly and the prices are very reasonable

Cheap an cheerfull food an drink. Had a breakfast for gala day, but disappointed as it was cold, quick service tho, but cold meal explains why

Great real ale beers, sensibly priced.

Great food, a wide variety of beverages, low prices, great atmosphere with friendly staff.

Ordered bacon roll and my partner a Scottish breakfast, first bacon roll came charcoaled the bacon broke in my hand when it came, waitress wasn’t very polite when i complained when she put it down in front of me, I asked to get it changed it came back and bacon was cold, couldn’t be bothered to complain again, also my partners breakfast just like warm and his black pudding was rock solid, absolutely disgusting won’t be back, will stick to Annie’s cafe. Need better chefs with more experience at cooking.

Great place,good food,quick service

Usual range in scenic location.

Portions are becoming pathetic. For such a huge chain it's really getting bad. £5.40 for pic of chips attached

The outside hall is great! Perfect area for a beer in fresh air as well as having a cigarette or vape if you like

The ambience in the garden was really great, but the inside was rather dark. Service was catastrophic, always overlooked us or the table, so that the drinks and food we ordered online were returned straight away. We had to speak loudly several times in order to get our drinks and food.

Called in here on Bank Holiday Monday for lunch. We were absolutely disgusted at the state of the place. It was filthy. Tables not cleared, trampled in food on the carpets, bits of food under tables. Everything looks so unclean. We left without eating. Will defo not be back.

A converted church by the looks of it retaining a bit of character. Offers a beer garden but as usual upstairs toilets Very quite when we visited

The only real way to rate a Wetherspoons is to review the adventure to the toilets, and how wild the carpet is. The toilets provided a suitable sense of exploration (+), but unfortunately the carpet was dull (-). Overall, a good to very good spoons. Friendly staff, nice looking beer garden. A new carpet could see the star rating upgraded.

Food and drink excellent value and always good...been in here on several occasions...staff are courteous too... Would definitely recommend this venue..

Ok the disabled toilets needed a good clean though.

Nice food and lovely atmosphere 👌

Staff friendly but same as last time no one ever cleans tables when they're empty so asked for a cloth to do it myself pizzas,looked great but pasta meal was not great

Visited here on 19th & 20th March. Must say that food & service on both days was excellent. I visited mid afternoon on both days and the restaurant was reasonably busy.

I ordered a margherita pizza to discover I appeared I ordered the wrong thing cause they sent a pizza with just f*ckimg sauce and hardly any cheese and that is not even the peak of my sorrows I ordered a bowl of ice cream with extra cheese for dessert and they didn’t serve it with my f*cking cheese

Came on Friday lunchtime, there was dirty dishes everywhere, tables needed cleaned, staff on their phones, and food not very hot. We sit in same seat every time, so can see thru kitchen door, food sits on hot plate for while. There were no clean cups ready

Usually enjoy the food = don't go on a Tuesday night! Couldn't have what I usually order and food must have been plated up at least an hour before ordered and served? Not too hot on clearing and cleaning tables either.

Just had the worst breakfast of my life eggs benedict was awful had the same meal alot of times here in the past was always very good felt sick as soon as leaving today will never back in that establishment, absolutely disgusting

Very disappointing. My son was sick after the last visit but decided to give them another chance. Unfortunately I was sick this time. Will not be back .

Has it's days!! Depending on what staff are working. Sometimes a smile other days a growl!!

Always enjoy a visit to Spoons in Gala' ... Can be loud at times but hey, it's al gud banter n adds to the atmosphere... Not had it spoilt yet! Toilets upstairs, well it is a Spoons, 🤘😆

Odd place, good food and very pleasant staff but, the problem is that the place is about the deadest place to be in

Cheap and cheerful. Food can be hit or miss but the Tropical Smash Cocktail will always bring me back

Don't have the American cheese burger it's rubbish. I'm shocked they even sell that.

It is what it is nothing special, food was microwaved, I suppose if you had an all day special breakfast you might get a freshly cooked egg, the service was average you gave your order & didn't even get a smile or thank you, the atmosphere was non existent it was dark & dingy & that was at the tables at the front by the wall to wall windows, won't be going back there in a hurry that's for sure..

Good all round pub. Good pints nice staff and food. Looks a lot better since the revamp and more accessable for wheelchairs

There was a few of us in for a meal Friday tea Time the food was very good so freshly cooked and hot. Staff were quick and friendly well done we all enjoyed it thank-you

I find the staffing levels have slowed down. But it's not as bad as The Dunfermline branch. That's dropped totally

Handy for a drop in meal or cuppa at a reasonable price.

One of the better spoons, approachable staff and hot food

Very clean and tidy, friendly staff and one of the better Wetherspoons I've been to.

Good choice of food. Good service nice building

Smaller than usual Wetherspoons. Staff were friendly and the food was good. Pint of guiness was excellent. All in all better than usual 'Spoons

Tell you what hunters Hall is a great place

Looking a bit tired and needs freshing up. The staff are pleasant but it was very quiet.

Great meal, good beer, reasonable prices 👍

Friendly staff,drink was really cheap.

Good free WiFi so easy to order via app. Quick service of drinks and food to our table even at prime time on a Friday evening. The vegetarian curry was really delicious, great flavours and mild in heat even though it has 2 chilli's on the menu. The half roast Lemon and herb chicken was well cooked and (everyone's favourite word) moist with lots of flavour. The mash was okay but had spent a little too long in the microwave as per the curve solid mash rings. Great availability of items on the menu, on a couple of things not available. Staff were friendly and cheery. Toilets were clean and we'll maintained. Will definetly go back and would recommend.

Nipped into Wetherspoons midway through our regular Saturday walk. Ordered via the app which is normal now and we each had a Scottish Breakfast. The potato scone was a let down. It felt it had been in the fryer for a few minutes longer than it should have been. Toast & black pudding was a plus (not in the small breakfast) and the two cups of Tea was welcome. Overall worth the price but quality was average at best. Service was ok.

What you expect to find at Wetherspoons. Cheap and cheerful springs to mind, I suppose. However, the food was not great. I ordered fish and chips. A good old staple diet. Nothing too complicated. My fish was well over cooked. The batter was dry and too crisp. The poor fish inside looked and tasted like it had the life ducked out of it. Chips double fried, or just over fried. I wouldn't go back to this branch again. Although I have used other Wetherspoons with much better food.

You know what you’re getting! Says what it is on the tin 👍🏻

Clean. Good service. Wholesome food. Great value.

Like most wetherspoons, well situated, great priced drinks. Staff was nice. And as standard a nice walk to the toilets.

gave me a dirty spoon and had a bloody tissue in the bathroom

It is what it is you know what you are going into

I only gave this 3 stars for atmosphere as it wasn't busy being a Tuesday afternoon. Regardless of that it was a good pub to be in so U couldn't really comment on atmosphere of the pub

Einfaches Restaurant mit einfacher, sehr preiswerter Küche. Und es schmeckt gut.

Our first time at this spoons and couldn't fault it. Quick service lovely breakfast and Drinks clean and tidy effiecient staff and great value for money.

Shabby seating area Half of place looks nice?? What's up with front So shabby

Awful night. Although we booked, tables weren't ready for us. staff were rude. I vomitted and a family member had diarrhoea. Poor show

What a terrible night, the bar staff were inattentive and slow, I had to wait 5 minutes to get served, usually not a problem but the pub was near empty. As for the management, save your complaints for someone who gives a damn, what a bad-tempered power-tripping bunch. I think they must really hate their jobs and really should look at different careers. It's called the hospitality business for a reason. Also, the pub lacks atmosphere it's a big empty shed, I think next time in the borders I'm off to Melrose.

Nice pint and food nice and friendly xxx

Just had a couple of drinks 🍻 nice pub and staff

It's wetherspoons you get what you expect, well priced food quickly served and pleasant atmosphere. Only minor gripe was the lamb was a bit undercooked for my liking. Still aye everything else and managed to squeeze in a bit of the kids pizza 🍕.

Would be good if staff didn't socialise at the bar and spent more time clearing tables. Guests next to me had to ask for a table to be cleared before they could sit down.

No atmosphere to talk of. Never asked if our food was okay.

Nice little weatherspoons with great food, and an outdoor seating area which has signs up for non smoking however we saw quite a few smoking but were not challenged on this. Despite great service, there seemed to be few staff about but we did enjoy our visit.

Galashiels weatherspoons was lovely yesterday. Food came out quick and hot. Good value for money. Only problem was the hot chocolate didn't really taste nice it was very plain and not very hot chocolatey my friend mentioned this to a member of staff but the lady advised there was hot chocolate in the machine. I was wondering maybe the hot chocolate that had been dispensed has left a gap and it needed the rest pushed into the system like just stirred. The lady kindly swapped it for a juice which I appreciated a lot.

Just like any wetherspoons it's has its place among restaurants. Relatively average food and a fair price. Cheap enough beer.

Had Tennessee burger, chips,onion rings, lager tops. Sitting outside in the beer garden.

I like weatherspoons food but the cleanliness and staff attitude let's this place down. Tables never cleaned, menus all sticky and staff are terrible. There isn't any competition in Galashiels so this is why people still go there and why they still open .

First time in here. I have fish and chips and a glass of OJ with lemonade. Fish was piping hot, chips was warmish. Didn't had to wait long.

Like most Wetherspoon pubs food was good and more than enough,first visit to this pub but will come back next time am in Gala.

It's a spoons, and you know what to expect to a large degree. But this one's pretty poor. Staff completely disinterested, zero customer service, cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired and food quality is well below par even considering what you're paying for it.

It's a wetherspoons, not a pub, not a restaurant, it's functional

Great place, good food and good choice of drinks. Could be very busy and then waiting time is very long.

Visited at lunchtime today, food was possibly the worse bar food I have ever tasted, chicken, dry/overcooked, rice 1/2 bag of uncle bens microwave rice, only decent thing was the exit.

A very pleasant Wetherspoons establishment.

Visited on Tuesday while in Galashiels. Wetherspoons may be much maligned, but they do tend to be consistent, and offer great value. Hunters Hall is bright, uncrowded, with very clean Toilets. A couple of things missing from the menu, but still plenty of choice. We had Scampi and Chips, and Fish and Chips, both came with Peas, As I was driving, I had a Fresh Orange, and my colleague had a pint of Brewdog. Food was tasty and certainly filled a hole, and drinks were nice. At £17 for the lot - Fantastic value. It's not a Five Star restauarant, but it did fit the bill, and I'm sure that I will return.

Nice sunny seat by the window. Very large wrapbwith breaded chicken fillet and a glass of wine. Good value for money.

Sunday at 2.30pm. Not that busy, tables not cleared, menu's dirty and torn, cleared tables have not been wiped. Food hasn't arrived yet but whatever it is like I don't feel great about eating in a place that isn't clean.

Wasn't the best Wetherspoons I've been to. The service was OK. The pub itself looked tired and dirty and in need of a makeover. The self-service coffee machine needed a good clean, and the self-service area next to the coffee machine needed a serious deep clean. When we sat at a table, the top had come adrift from its screwed fixings, so we had to sit with our coffee in our hands. After this experience, going to the gents was not going to happen. Overall, it's not the best experience.

Nice,tasty meal. Nice price, speedy service

Went there last night for a mother's day meal but we have been ill since. My daughter is off school having thrown up 4 times today already. I've been not well today either which cannot be a coincidence. Food normally excellent and staff are always friendly.

Old people take ages to order was about to leave

Beautiful, good prices, would highly recommend.

Popped in today for a coffee and some breakfast with friends. Very decent breakfast and fast, efficient and friendly service. Significant improvement from my last review. Keep up the good work! The revamping was at least ten years overdue. Looks very nice. Service was overly (extremely) slow. Food very mediocre. Why is it so difficult to clear and wipe tables? I used to think Wetherspoons was good value for money but it's becoming tedious. Pity really, as I used to often frequent. March 2023: No complaints about tables needing cleared, far efficient service and a hearty breakfast for £2.99!

Just popped in for a couple of drinks.. wasn't too busy so served quickly by pleasant staff

Me and my husband came in this morning around 9am for breakfast, i was completely disgusted at the cleanliness or should i say lack of. As you can see plug sockets not cleaned, stained cups, dust all over the top of the bench seats, stains on the wooden paneling, stains on the hand sanitiser station, the area around the coffee machines was filthy. The food was not great my egg was slimey on top which makes me feel sick, the bacon was very pink and undercooked and i left half of my meal because i felt so grossed out. I won’t be back unless the cleanliness improves .

Busy but served quickly and lovely meal

Genuinely terrible, staff are nice. But everything else sucked.

Lovely place, recommended, delicious food, friendly staff, nice and cozy pub. Also very good prices xx

My granddaughter and I had the worst meal ever from there yesterday, Saturday, 28th January 2023. My granddaughters meal did not fit the description at all and what was requested at the bar was totally ignored!! You would have needed the teeth of a horse to chew the chicken, it was so dry and tough!! The first chicken being returned due to it being cold. We didn't and couldn't finish it at all. I was not impressed with the service from the waitress either, my dinner being banged down on the table in front of me!! We may visit again but will definitely not eat in there again!! Out of 10 I would only give it a 1, I'm afraid.

Visited this establishment, as many time before. Ordered a gourmet steak, which was basically inedible. Was all grissle. Explained to waitress, who apologised. So where does it actually leave the customer 🤷🏻‍♀️

Usual spoons, reasonable prices but for me no atmospere
