Lauderdale Hotel in Scottish Borders

Arranged to meet a friend for lunch and we were very impressed from start to finish. We were greeted by Courtney who showed us to comfortable chairs beside a warm radiator. This was welcome because Storm Jocelyn was brewing outside. She took our drinks order and brought the menu board which was extensive. She explained that we could order full portions or smaller ones. We both decided to have the breaded haddock, one full portion and one smaller. We chose well because we could find no fault with our meal. Fresh haddock well cooked is hard to beat and it was. The chips were perfectly done and home made coleslaw and salad were delicious. We both agreed that we had to post a review with our positive thoughts. Well done Lauderdale hotel and Courtney. We’ll be back!

My husband and I ate here today. We were greeted by 2 lovely waitresses who were so friendly. Menu was written on a chalk board which was brought to the table, great choices with small portions available. My husband had breaded mushrooms to start then scampi for main. I had lasagne. Portions were reasonable size. We both had a sweet but were really full after. Food with 1 glass of wine and 1 pint of lager came to £57, excellent value.

Popped in here as we were looking for lunch on our journey up to St Andrews. It was such a great surprise. Our reception was warm and welcoming, food lovely and clearly freshly made to order. Husband and i had salads where father in law had scampi and chips. Salads were lovely with al sorts of interesting ingredients rather than the pile of lettuce you quite often get! Scampi and chips also went down very well. Landlord also told us we could have small versions of everything if we wanted so we felt like it was about providing us a nice meal/service rather than just about making money. Also said they had no issues if we wanted to leave something off or add something on to what was described on the menu. Unfortunately, we traveled back to England on a different route, but did debate making a significant detour to call back in! Would certainly recommend a meal here

Food was hot, tasty and well presented, portion sizes were generous and pudding was great! Service with a smile and a welcoming atmosphere.

My wife and I have just ate some of the best food we have had in ages I had Pork in a crRamy mushroom sauce with black pudding fritters. This meal is to die for. My wife had Scampi.. Now I hear you say that scampi is run of the mill.. Not here it was so so tasty and the coleslaw it came with was amazing. I could not eat another THING but my wife went for the upside down pineapple cake 🎂 with ice cream. My wife is now in cake heaven... AMAZING

Just popped in a for a couple of drinks and an evening meal. The Roast Beef and the Scampi & Chips were superb, served by very friendly staff in a comfortable relaxed setting.

Called in for coffee and a bite to eat, really friendly staff and nice food at realistic prices. Sanitised and social distanced without the fuss and allowed the dog in too !

We went to meet a friend who is a regular and whom my wife has not seen recenttly. The place is nicely decorated and the staff welcoming. There is a reasonable choice on the menu and the prices are fair. We had a nice lunch with no big waitrs for service nor any rush. We would eat there again. Apart from anything else it is spacious and we felt safe.

excellent food and very warm welcome by freindly staff,dogs made welcome and nothing was too much trouble

A basic pub grub type of meal,with just about everything fried! Not very appetising and not cheap either. service was good and attentive. Would not rush back!

We have stopped at this place during the busy Easter weekend. Wooden tables outside full with peopke drinking and enjoying the sunshine. Inside there is a bar area and also a restaurant area. The menu s very traditional good food. We had the fish and chips and the fish was flaky fresh and very big. Also sampled some of the deserts: the easter egg cheescake was amazing and the bread and butter pudding was awesome and the portion was huge. Staff was very nice, we did nothave to wait a lot for our food. Good value for money.

Dogs welcome that's why we chose here. Glad we did. Quality food with big portions at good prices. I had mussels to start from the specials board..Superb. fish and chips for my main, yay! A huge thick piece of fresh haddock just perfect! My brother had the baked cod off the specials board and I may even have been slightly jealous it looked so good too and he said it was amazing. It's not fancy but it's very, very good for a nice meal

How refreshing to find a place that is so welcoming, with good food at a fair price. Clearly the young owners are working hard and have a very positive attitude. We wish them every success. We would certainly eat there again.

We were renting a cottage close by and had dinner here twice during our stay. The food was great, we had absolutely no complaints. I expected a very limited menu (like the other pub in the village) but was pleasantly surprised by the amount of choice. Would highly recommend it for a meal or just a drink. Dog friendly too. Staff were all very nice and extremely welcoming.

Sunday evening meal enjoyed by four of us. Lots of choice. All very tasty and of ample size. Chose this venue in preference to the Black Bull Hotel down the street. No regrets at all. Great atmosphere and attentive staff. 10/10

As we were renting a nearby cottage this was our first port of call in the village. After the superb customer care we received, it became a daily visit. Too windy to sit outside we asked if our dog was allowed in at lunchtime. As there was a wedding function due it would have been easy to turn us away, but instead the sitting room was turned into a dining area for us. Brilliant.The menu is standard pub grub, very nicely done. Chips were a cut above, very good indeed.Subsequent visits the sun shone brightly so we were able to use the beer garden, and got speaking to the friendly landlord.Highly recommended.

We have family in Lauder and while in Lauder decided to have a meal out. Visiting in the afternoon we were advised to book a table for the evening as it was going to be busy with it being a bank holiday.Returning later for our meal I have to say the staff here are friendly and efficient, we sat outside in the sunshine, ordered and were subsequently told our table and food were ready.The food on offer is above average pub fayre, very nice, nothing to complain about from the five of us.At one point we dropped a mobile phone on the table, a member of staff heard the bang and dashed over a cloth in each hand ready to mop up any spills, there weren't any but you get the impression nothing is too much trouble for the staff here.

Had delicious fish and chips here. Hubby had a lovely lasagne. Very nice food and very friendly bar staff. The locals will start chatting if you hang around - very relaxed and friendly feeling. Nice log fire when it's cold. Great food and atmosphere. Go and see for yourself!

Met a friend for lunch and decided on this Hotel as we had not tried it since it changed hands. Loads of parking and easy access. Warm dining room cum lounge bar with plenty of light. Friendly courteous service from start to finish. The menu is standard stuff cooked properly and served attractively. Everything we had was tasty and properly served. We had soup, chicken goujons 9outstanding) followed by steak pie, fish and chips and lasagne. Rounded off with ice cream and an eye watering cheese board. Great value and well worth stopping off here for a bite.

Food is ok, menu is a bit limited and could do with being smartened up . A better choice of starters would be nice. Staff are friendly and helpful. Place could do with being refurbished

We have not been to the Lauderdale for a number of years because the food was rubbish, But as it is under new management we decided to give it a try, unfortunately nothing has changed ordered two fish and chips and two fish pie, the salad and the coleslaw arrived on a very hot plate with the battered fish on the top, the fish pie, well there is more fish in a goldfish bowl we would say % 90 was potato, so will not be back , o and by the way very slow service. and not cheap.

A comfortable friendly hotel with a varied and wide menu to suit all tastes, all served by friendly staff willing to assist in any way

Family run hotel. Staff very friendly. Extensive menu. Good quality food. No problem taking 9 month old. High chair available.

Excellent fresh cooked food and pleasant surroundings. Made to feel very welcome and service very good.

Nuestro grupo de 45 tenía una muy cálida bienvenida y una excelente comida. La comida era deliciosa y servido caliente. Nikki y su personal era acogedor y muy servicial con diferentes necesidades dietéticas especiales. La habitación era amplia, con puertas de función que se abrían a un jardín encantador. Resultó ser una excelente relación calidad-precio y recomendaría el Lauderdale hotel a todo el mundo.

Good quality food in a comfortable setting.The portions were big and price reasonable..staff quick to serve.

Fuimos aquí recientemente para una cena en familia y una noche maravillosa. Gerente propietario Wilson y Mary fueron tanto alrededor y ambos son estupendos anfitriones que se preocupan realmente por sus clientes.

Encantador y asado los domingos stick toffe budín vinimos aquí en conseguir comida mientras viaja desde el noreste agradable

Excelente comida en el hotel Fort Lauderdale. Comida de calidad a un precio razonable. Todo servido en forma eficiente y con una sonrisa amable.

We visit the Lauderdale regularly and enjoy the ambiance, food and of course the open fire. Good food, reasonable,prices.Highly recommend

I have eaten here a number of times and it has always been a fantastic experience. The food is the reason to go, having said that the staff are always so welcoming and attentive too.

Travelling home from a wedding in Scotland we stopped at the Lauderdale Hotel for lunch and were disappointed to see it was busy and that they were expecting a large party, the disappointment did last long.Quickly a table was found and the two staff on duty were very efficient, menus and drinks promptly provided, the soup (Lentil) was hot and tasty, were went for the roast which was Lamb, well cooked and a good portion. My wife's only complaint was that of no Yorkshire Pudding, seriously she doesn't normally like roast potatoes and no option was offered.Normally a fiend for sticky toffee pudding, I managed to resist, this is our first visit to the Lauderdale Hotel, despite passing often. We won't pass again lunch was certainly worth it and the staff were excellent.Good parking, definitely a good choice.

Very comfortable seating, good menu, friendly staff and decor' in keeping with building.The food was very good and cooked to order.

very friendly atmosphere and terrific food.excellent place for lunch,clean and fresh with a lovely fire.

Very welcoming, family run hotel, friendly attitude towards guests, very accessable, excellent full Scottish breakfast starts at 0700hrs, good evening meal in part of quiet pub though above average pub food, mainly local produce, venision recommended.

Had evening meal at the lauderdale hotel a few nights ago and I had a really good steak and the service was great too . Also the beer was great too .

Lovely place to meet up with our Scottish best friends. A lovely relaxed atmosphere with wonderful staff.

We stayed at a local caravan park for a week and visited all the eating establishments in the small town of Lauder. The Lauderdale Hotel was by far the best for friendly staff and good food at reasonable prices.

A warm welcome from a very helpful lady who was a star multitasker (she did the drinks, took the food order and served the food as well as delivering good humour). The menu choice was broad but not to much so, and with some interesting specials. Ali all a most convivial dinner experience.

Stopped here one Saturday night and found it to be clean and tidy.Only problem is they stop serving breakfast at 9am on sundays so you have to be up early for breakfast!

Stopped by here on a Saturday morning for breakfast whilst travelling up to Scotland. We were welcomed by the owner who was very cheerful and pleasant indeed - a full breakfast for the four of us was served with cereals, fruit juice, toast, bacon eggs, haggis, tomatoes, hash browns, mushrooms,black pudding, tea and coffee all cooked to order, served promptly and nicely presented. A first rate start to the day - excellent breakfast served by pleasant people and excellent value too!. Thoroughly recommended.

I have been here many time, and never fails to meet the standardFood always good and hot.Sticky toffee pudding to die for!
