after reading all the reviews I was very disappointed, sitting in a tent which was really cold with no atmosphere, the beer was good and a good selection Found the staff very rude and unhelpful when asked about the beers they looked like they didn't want to be there

Wedding Beer! We bought casks with Tempest for our wedding recently and can't rate them enough. They were very communicative, helped us with choosing how much to order, and did sale or return on the casks so we were able to return the unopened cask. Their delivery and pickup was super cost effective and really took the stress off us. They also returned our deposit money extremely quickly which is always nice! All in all it worked out at about £1.90 a pint. Finally, and most importantly, the beer (Pale Armadillo) was absolutely delicious! We had a number of vegans and celiacs in attendance and it was so nice that they could all have some too. Only thing that would add to the experience is if they start stocking cask stands to rent too - though my brother and dad did a pretty good job at knocking one up from a fallen tree!

Thought i would try Tempest for the first time after finding them online, what a great idea! Beer delivered within 2 days, we are just over 400 miles away so it did have a fair journey to crack. Ordered the a minikeg of Long White Cloud to try over the weekend. Really, really glad i did. Not normally one for picking up different flavours but this beer has a lot going for it, fruity, tangy but above everything else this is one of the most refreshing beers i have had in a long time. Not much more to say really, found a beer thats super power is to 'refresh', this goes on my top 3 list now. Think this brewery knows what it is doing!

Even a couple tasters during the tour of some special beers. Very much well enjoyed, will definitely come back!

Very highly deserved award for Scottish Brewery of the year. Clean tasting and innovative beer paying more than a nod to the 14 c German brewing laws and probably more importantly their sheer skill as brewers. Clean beer leads to a clean head the next day too. The Farmhouse Saison ale is currently a big favourite for its refreshing thirst quenching ability. But every beer they brew that I have tasted has been superb whether bottled or draught.

We had heard really good things about The Night Safe and decided to book a table for lunch, especially as Friday is always busy in Hawick. The welcome, the ambiance and the choices on the Light Bite menu were, all, amazing. It’s a good idea to discuss your choices with the staff who explained the multi cultural dishes, eloquently. We settled on 4 of the light bites (not quite as light as we expected, with very generous portions). We chose, Haggis Bon Bon’s, Panko prawns, Calamari and Bao Buns with chicken in a buffalo sauce. We shared, and, the Bao Buns with chicken were particularly good and we ordered another portion, to share. ALL of the dishes were absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and very much enjoyed. We’re really looking forward to our next visit.

Me and a friend went here for a quick coffee a few months back. It’s very easy to find as well, saying that we almost walked past (glad we didn’t!). There was a handful of seats inside, but wasn’t too busy when we were there as we managed to get the seat in the corner. The atmosphere inside was so peaceful, very clean and relaxing! The decor is gorgeous too. Reasonably priced as well. Our barista and the server that was on that day were ever so friendly, very smiley and bought our coffees to us when they were ready. The cake we had was very delicious and tasted freshly made that day, server gave us two forks so we can share. There were other lovely traybakes on offer as well with well documented prices near them too. Overall highly recommend popping in if in the area. Will be visiting again if have the opportunity to do so.

Very poor communication in respect of getting back to you and enquiring about vegetarian meals. Still not resolved . Asked for vegetarian option for April, after 3 attempts at contacting them . Still haven't seen a menu even though I was told it would be available early April.
