Pirn House Interiors in Scottish Borders

Visited The Pirn House recently and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. There's a varied menu with delicious dishes, catering for all. The owners have worked hard to comply with recent conditions and the restaurant looked inviting. The staff there are very welcoming and pleasant too. I can highly recommend The Pirn House.

My favourite place for brunch. We often visit once a month for a catch up brunch which never disappoints. The food is always piping hot and delicious. The service is always fab and I always look forward to returning for my french toast, bacon and maple syrup- in my opinion no one does it better! The staff always smile and make you feel welcome. It’s a gem of a place!

Booked for lunch Very tasty and amazing cakes Staff pleasant and helpful. Advisable to book if want a table at lunch time. Can pop into interior design shop next door. Plenty of parking available

What a great wee cafe, visit here on regular occasion, comfortable, very friendly & the food is delicious.

This is a lovely place to eat, food staff surroundings well presented. Although situated on an industrial estate it serves fantastic meals and coffee and their desserts are irisistable, very "moreish" 👌

We were recommended this restauraunt by family and had never had found it otherwise. From the outside you do not expect what lies within a fantastic little gem of a place with restauraunt to the left and swish interior design shop to the right. We had the homemade soup and cooked breakfasts with tattie scones followed by the largest peice of lemon meringue pie. Everything arrive as it should staff were really friendly and now we know where it is we will most definitely return.

Met a friend here for a catch up over cheese scones. The staff were so attentive and friendly. The scones were lovely and cheesy. We were given extra hot water for tea. The only negative for me was no soya milk.

We meet friends once a month for coffee/tea and a scone and they suggested we met here, they have been before but a first for us. Don't be put off by the appearance of the outside which looks a bit tired, once you are inside it is lovely. Very tasty scones and lovely tea/coffee. Staff are very nice and attentive and make sure everything is to your satisfaction. It was relatively quiet wen we arrived (it opens at 10am) but soon filled up. Really enjoyed going somewhere different for a change and will go back.

Family lunch today. French toast and bacon very popular with it appearing on lots of tables. Been before and will be back. Kids love it. Great value, excellent service and tasty food.

Having visited The Pirn several times and never been disappointed I thought it high time that I post a positive report. A busy little café located on an industrial estate is a strange location but obviously it works! No doubt the quality of the eats and the friendly service is the recipe for success. Arrive when it opens at 10.00 and you may be the first there, but by 10.15 the room is buzzing with folk enjoying superb scones, cakes and tray-bakes at reasonable prices, also available are tasty mid-day meals; who could ask for more!

This has to be the absolute best value Breakfast I've had anywhere in Scotland all local produce well prrsented in a cosy atmosphere staff brillient fantastic place cant wait to come back

Stopped here for coffee and cake. Cakes on offer all looked lovely..I chose coffee cake - was one of the best and fluffiest cakes I've tasted. Was told all food ingredients prepared bon site. Well worth a visit

What a lovely quirky place to eat. First visit proved to be a winner and will definitely return again. Had lunch with our walking group. Exvellent service for a table of 15+. Food delicious and hot. Great coffee and wonderful home baking finished with a browse round the interiors shop and even managed to buy a christmas present!

Visit regularly for either lunch or coffee. Have also had afternoon tea. The quality and presentation of the food is outstanding. Nothing is 'scrimped'. For example, pats (not just one or two) of Lurpak butter served with the scones etc Friendky service.

Excellent service was fantastic and friendly food you delicious never imagined something like this in such a out of the way place booking definitely recommend will definitely be back

I had heard of this place from a friend who raved about it but had never visited until this morning!!!

We often dine here, it's a lovely restaurant. The meals are consistently delicious and the staff friendly and efficient. Love it!

this is a great place for lunch 3rd time visiting here service great ..friendly spotless clean homemade food and cakes are amazing well worth a visit

Usually go there on a Friday as it's fish friday.its absolutely amazing, well presented, can not fault.staff are lovely ,they can not do enough for you ,very friendly .place is spotlessly clean.

Great cafe with the best Meringues I have had. The other cakes looked good as well The shop part is excellent too. Lots of different things to look at. I am told the owner makes all the curtains etc and bakes all the goodies. Not far from Melrose so make sure you pop in.

The homemade Scotch Broth Soup was superb. Main meals and snacks. Locally sourced ingredients. Cakes brilliant as well.Service welcoming. Accessible. Accessible toilet. All on one level.

Great snacks, meals and home baking - absolutely delicious! Service is prompt and with a smile. Highly recommend. *****

We visit this cafe / restaurant regularly. Food is fresh & excellent value. Home baking is delicious. Avril the owner is a real character.

We have been coming here for a long time now and the standard of food gets better and better. I hope you're never on a diet when you visit because the standard and taste of the on site baked cakes, scones and others is just fantastic.

This cafe is off the beaten track just south of St Boswells but is worth turning off the A68 to visit. Good soups and a limited choice of hot lunches. The welcome is warm and the service quick. We had soups which were excellent and followed with the Baked Ham and roasted veg from the specials board. Rounded off with Lemon Meringue and cream. Delicious. Good coffee too. Booking advised as they get very busy at lunch time.

Great little place for lunch or coffee and cake..fabulous menu lots to choose from...from soup and sandwich ...panini to baked potatoes ...salads ..and the fish on a Friday is possibly the best ever!

Seen reviews and wondered why an interior design premise has to do with fab cafe

Always a good choice of menu for both main course and sweets. Nice to browse round the shop as well.

Off the beaten track but well worth a visit. A busy little coffee shop with a good variety of snacks and light meals. Friendly and efficient staff serve delicious food in an ambivalent atmosphere. The associated gift shop is also worth checking out.

Stopped here for high tea with a few friends everything was tasty and fresh tasting sandwiches were fab and a great selection of cakes will definitely be back.

I can't recommend this place highly enough Avril and her team serve the best food and the presentation is amazing...

Esta es una auténtica joya, la comida es increíble, todo casero y muy sabrosa, el personal es muy amable y servicial. Aconsejable reservar ya que es tan popular

El té de la tarde para cuatro, excelente relación calidad-precio. Maravillosa comida casera en su mejor, necesitan un aviso previo de 24 horas, ya que es recién hecha a la orden, altamente recomendado

Caramba ¡Qué hallazgo, metimos en el de oportunidad. Tenía un tazón de sopa casera deliciosa y caliente. Mención especial a gran servicio "Vicky". Volveremos pronto con la familia.

I love this out of the way venue for either a cuppa and a piece of cake or a light lunch. Lovely staff who go out of their way to get it right. One of the nicest places in the Borders for a 'little snack'

Had a good lunch of panini's. The food was hot and didn't take long to arrive. The cake was delicious. Very reasonably priced also.

We never tire of visiting "the Pirn" for lunch, or just for a coffee and cake. you are always assured a friendly service and great value for money.

A pleasant and friendly atmosphere, with good service. Excellent for a light lunch too. Good value for money.

I live just down the road from them , been many times with friends so my friends sayed lets go for coffee and they wanted to go out, we all went to Pirn House We get there the service was good and quick as well and it was very busy by the way it is allways busy, The food was first class we all had cakes just mouth watering and the coffee was very good As i sayed been there many times and always the same so go and cheak it out you will be glad you did

Sat Nav had us all over Charlesfield Industrial Estate but we eventually found Pirn House.Please if you get lost keep on going and find it too you won't be disappointed.Excellent friendly welcome by the staff and a lovely varied light lunch menu. We had not booked a table but this was not an issue. Food was excellent and served very promptly from order and it was busy.This was our first visit and definitely won't be our last. Next time I would phone to book a table.

Great food and lovely service. A little bit out of the way but the success of the good is plain to see by how busy it is. Great for lunch with many home cooked options and anything from s light bite to a full meal.

We have eaten here many times and the food and service are excellent. The French toast option is always chosen by one of us. It's so tasty. My favourite is the mushroom and mozzarella ciabatta which is often on as a special. Coffee and a big choice of cakes are available too. Afterwards we have a browse round the interiors. Not open on Sundays so we now make sure we visit Monday to Saturday.

Had a delicious meal here. Would never have found it but one of our party had been before. It is not impressive from the outside but the cafe and food served is fab. Homemade soup and sandwhich with fresh breads and delicious pear tart with nuts and chocolate chips made a memorable visit. Everyone in our party had different choices and all were impressed with the standard of food. Small premises and busy but if you have to wait for a table it is well worth the wait. Good service and nice welcome.

Driving from the Midlands to Edinburgh I came across the amazing cafe and interiors shop, really good coffee bacon sandwich and home made scones, well worth a visit

Had a lovely meal here; possibly the best baked potato ever. Good service and would thoroughly recommend this eatery.

We visit here very once in a while. Tables can be booked, the staff are friendly and the food is good. Today we had potato and leek soup, there was also cream of mushroom, followed by a breakfast for my wife and a warm chicken salad for myself. The breakfast was a good size and stayed hot to the last bite. My salad was spicy and a good plateful. There were tray baked and desserts if we had had room. The menu is coffee shop in style with some specials which change by the day. Good service, food and value.The whole place is accessible and there is a showroom dealing in interior furnishings. worth the short drive off the A68.

Incredible value for money with lovely friendly staff who complement this delightful wee place tucked away in the Scottish Borders. I visit often with family friends and as part of my work in a retail shop I take great pleasure in highly recommending this wee hidden Borders gem to many tourists. Food is always always of a very high standard and low cost no wonder you have to book!! set on the edge of a large industrial estate surrounded by beautiful countryside you could walk from many places in the central Borders but after such a delicious and filling lunch I'm not sure you'd want to walk back! Lovely wee gift shop to for perusal too with unusual gifts

A busy place so best to book ahead if you can. Friendly and helpful staff who serve top quality home made food

Fab coffee lovely serves totally a hidden gem well worth a visit coffees and cakes no cheap butter fab place love it

Thourally enjoyed my visit here yesterday. I had the homemade sweet potato and chilli soup which was superb! I'd also reccomend the chocolate cake. Service was good, toilets were clean what more could you ask? Perfect for a lunch. Thanks

I have to say this little gem is a must to visit. The food is fantastic. You will not be disappointed with anything you order. The home made soup is fantastic. The scrambled eggs and goats cheese is yummy. The coffee is one of the best. I drink mine black.

Excellent food, a very welcoming atmosphere and the service is fast and efficient.Would recommend this coffee house to others.

A new find through local word of mouth.Home from home cooked breakfast. Very enjoyable. Staff friendly and helpful and lovely looking home baking. A bit of the main track but worth finding. We will be back to sample cakes....

Found this really really nice little eating house in the middle of nowhere, well Charlesfield Ind Estate. So worth a visit the staff are super friendly and the food is excellent, had the tastiest celeriac and spinach soup the great BLT. No room for a pud was gutted they look super

Visited for the first time yesterday. Outside the building is not the most attractive, but the inside makes up for it. Cosy coffee shop and all facilities, wood burning stove glowing, friendly staff, great menu and selection of cakes. Gorgeous, reasonably priced items in the gift shop.

I've been there a few times now, for lunch and have always been impressed with the food and the friendly service. Yesterday I was passing the road-end with a friend and, on a complete whim, we shot down to the industrial estate where the plain-looking building stands. It was just before 4pm, but we were still served with one of the best meringues I have ever had the pleasure of scoffing!! Lovely light texture, strawberries and lashings of proper whiped cream. Mmmmm. (There's a post-script to this spur-of -the - moment diversion. If we had just continued on our way, we might well have been involved in a rather nasty accident a few miles down the road. As it was, we drove past slowly just as the ambulance, Police & break-down trucks were doing their thing) Saved by a delicious meringue!

This cafe and Interior Design shop is on a small industrial estate just outside of the village of St Boswells. From the outside you might pass it by, but don't and you won't be disappointed. The food is excellent. Lovely soups, sandwiches and delicious cakes. We tried the breakfast menu, which was great and very reasonable.

Went here with a friend who lives in the area and had heard about it. Well off the beaten track. We had spicy parsnip soup, cheese scones, flat whites, lemon cake and cappacino, all good, scone needed a bit more cheese though we felt. Service was excellent, a lovely place for lunch with friends. Would certainly recommend.

Try this super cafe near St Boswells in the Borders. Great coffee and cakes and delicious lunches and breakfast. It is often very busy but that just shows how good the place is. If you want lunch you might like to book

Pirn House, recently refurbished and extended, is situated off the A68 just to the south west of St Boswells. It's a gem of a place the staff are so welcoming and friendly.The menu is simple but is all locally sourced and prepared fresh. For the cake lovers there are a great selection of cakes on display.If you are looking for a bowl of homemade soup, a freshly made sandwich, toasted sandwich or a panini look no further this is the place.There is also a gift shop attached and if you have the time the owner could even rustle you up a set of curtains in the Interior design shop !Well worth a visit when travelling the A68

Pirn House, just off the A68 at Charlesfield, St Boswells. Cafe/Coffee Shop. (Also Gift Shop. Upholstery Service). Serves delicious meals, home baking and refreshments. On our last vist we had home made soup (spicy parsnip), Bacon, Camembert, & Chutney panini, followed by coffe and cakes, just the job!

Just off main A68 on leaving St Boswells, this is the best option for a light lunch if shopping in the village. Spacious and tastefully decorated, as you might expect from a company which offers custom made blinds, curtains, upholstery etc. in the other half of this quirky 40s building, it has a woodburning stove, friendly and efficient service, and a great selection of light lunches, cakes, and merigues to die for. Very reasonably priced too. Plenty of car parking right in front of the building. Enjoy browsing in the shop afterwards.
