The Ancrum Cross Keys, Ancrum in Scottish Borders

Easter Sunday Lunch/Birthday Celebration - we’d been looking for somewhere in the area that would be able to accommodate 5 adults, 3 kids and a dog :-) We were seated in a side lounge/restaurant that was suitable of a party of our size and the dog, it was comfortable, fresh and rustic. The staff were great, we were seated and a drinks order taken, menus given etc etc. We chose just two courses from a fab menu, Roast Lamb, Roast beef, Burger, fish and Chip and puds Lemon Tart, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Creme Brûlée, ice creams were our choices. You could tell the food was freshly cooked and prepared and great care taken with the presentation. The Vegetables for the Roast dinners served seperate, which is in our eyes great so your not over faced with too much on your plate, plus I didn’t have to eat the veg I don’t care much for 🤣. There was no rush for us to leave our table which sometimes can happen in restaurants. Front of house team very friendly and even willingly sang Happy Birthday to the birthday boy. When we are back in the area, we will most certainly be visiting again. Thank you

Excellent family meal last night. Very impressive menu and all our choices (prawns, souflee, see bass and burger) were skilfully cooked, presented and served by friendly and welcoming staff. Good value for money. Thank you to Lesley and all the Cross Keys team

Excellent friendly, service, great food. Had coffee(s) and a main meal. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for good food & very reasonably priced to boot.

Been meaning to try here for a while and it didn't disappoint. Staff were friendly and chatty. Christmas menu had lots of choice, all the food we had was amazing, goats cheese starter was fab!! Peppercorn sauce to die for with the steak really tasty! We will definitely be back (soon hopefully)!

We were on holiday and looking for places to eat with our dog close by to where we were staying. We popped into this pub and asked for a table and were seated in a really lovely cosy room. The girl serving us was delightful and super friendly and helpful, despite being on her own and rushed off her feet. My daughter and husband ordered the burger and said it was really great and I got the veggie curry and it was nice but not the biggest and was quite hungry. We then shared a cheeseboard and my daughter got ice cream. The cheese board came and was a decent portion and that filled me up. Really lovely meal and enjoyed it very much.

I phoned on a Saturday evening on the off-chance that they had a table available.... they did, but the kitchen closed in 20 minutes from my call (at 8pm). On arrival, the staff were most welcoming and accommodating. We both had fish and chips, which was excellent, followed by a Basque burnt cheesecake with rhubarb compote. Well presented hearty food served by friendly staff.

Une bonne cuisine de pub dans un cadre agréable, une ambiance musicale de bon aloi assurée par un groupe local de guitaristes et chanteurs.

We received such a wonderful welcome and received excellent service. The food was superb and we enjoyed it in the beautiful gardens along with our dogs. Such a lovely and pleasant visit.

We booked a table for two, with our dog. We ordered the filet steak and the salmon, which were delicious, followed by deserts which were also good.

The beer 'Foxy Blonde' / now called 'Blonde' was a completely different colour to how I remember it. Is it 'Amber', is it 'Dark Horse' - it is NOT Blonde, but is described as Blonde. The brewery owner owes the pub - does he not know?

This is our second visit can’t wait to return even though I mistakenly phoned Antrim Northern Ireland instead of ANCRUM!!! The food is excellent especially the triple cooked chips the chef and all restaurant staff are very friendly and helpful reasonably priced lovely night out when we stayed at local caravan park near Jedburgh

I was treated to lunch by my family for a special family reunion Sunday lunch. They all enjoyed an amazing roast dinner while I had salmon. There were also some very tempting salad choices and the deserts were amazing too! The chef and staff were first class and there were complimentary drinks for Mother’s Day. The pub/ restaurant is very traditional and attractive and we were delighted to discover the large garden at the rear where we took our drinks to enjoy in the sun. Highly recommend, first class pub food and we will return.

We had Sunday lunch here today and the whole experience was brilliant. Plenty parking, friendly and attentive staff, very dog friendly and the food was superb. Huge portions of roast beef, excellent home made yorkie and plenty of brilliant beautifully cooked veg. Will definitely be back again!

We have eaten at the Ancrum Cross Keys in the evenings before. We are big fans so when they announced that they were starting full Sunday roast we jumped at the chance and were completely blown away by the quality, scale and variety within this hearty traditional feast. Superb beef, well rested and a mass of different veg along with a large perfect Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Great local beer or wine. Really good food from a skilled, committed and generous chef. I can’t wait to have it again. Their usual menu (also great) was available as well. Worth a trip with plenty of parking directly outside on the charming village green. This is a real Borders pub. Priceless.

We had a lovely meal in this restaurant, there were 6 adults and 4 children, the staff couldn't have been nicer and the food was delicious.

Absolute gem of a find! The service was faultless with the perfect balance of attentiveness and leaving you in peace to enjoy it all. I think the gent who looked after us was called Brian, and he's an asset! Our 2 dogs were made very welcome too. The food was superb! We had the goats cheese and black pudding tart and the butternut squash and toasted almond soup to start. The tart was perfect, really nice and the soup was absolutely beautiful! We both had steaks for main which were cooked perfectly, accompanied by onion rings which were to die for! Dessert was a baileys crème brûlée and a chocolate brownie, which again were delicious. The price was fairly unbelievable at around £80 for everything including a few drinks. The pub itself is lovely, with a nice clean and modern feel. Toilets were spotless and the music was great! If we're ever lucky enough to be passing through again we'll definitely rush back!

We were put onto the Cross Keys by Born in Scotland site up the road. I have to say I expected better. We were seated in a soulless room, which appeared to be a former store room. No one else in the room. We were shown a menu which was to be honest quite basic. We were on the verge of leaving when the young lass who delivered our drinks answered our query that we were looking for Sunday lunch. She then said oh yes, we have roast beef. Would have been nice to have been given the info earlier. We had our lunch. Thee was plenty of it, but I found it all a bit overcooked, and not very warm. The cutlery has seen better days, one tiny sachet of salt and pepper each, horseradish offered after I'd started eating. No, it just didn't measure up

What a gem of a find! Amazing Sunday roast, friendly staff and covid safe. Go, you will enjoy! Thank you.

The menu was totally different to the one on the website , we booked a table because of the menu , so we struggled to find food for the children to eat . The Gnocchi was very tasty , loved it .

I was cycling past on a cold Sunday and thought “that looks interesting “ . So I pulled over, put on a mask and headed inside. My order for a half pint and a packet of crisps was taken outside and that’s where I settled...

Delicious food and excellent service. Jenny looked after us very well on both of our visits during our week in Ancrum. We’d highly recommend.

A small menu but really tasty food. We had the aranncini and soup to start then we all had burgers. Nice hand cut chips with skins on and seasoned, burgers with all the trimmings. Couldn’t manage pudding but we’ve booked to go back later in...

Very high quality food, well-prepared, served with a smile. Chef able to vary the dish to suit, if required, too. Atmosphere very welcoming, with the staff being communicative and responsive. Particularly enjoyed the gnocchi main, which was one of the tastiest pasta dishes that I...

we ate in the back bar with our dog, very helpful staff, varied menu we had smoked haddock with a yummy sauce, and sticky toffee pudding, also had a take away of fish and chips, we will certainly go again, wish we lived nearer !

Called in without a booking hoping there would be a free table .... We were in luck and had Sunday.Roast dinner. with a lovely bottle of Merlot great way to end the weekend in a lovely cozy environment.

Wow, a lovely veggie gnocchi with wild mushrooms and fab fish and chips. Warm welcome, staff are lovely. Will be back.

CANNOT RECOMMEND the Cross Keys enough. We had the best night out ever. The ribs/wings were beyond what we expected and it was so delicious. Can’t wait for the next one! Go Go Go

Just a few minutes off the A68 this is the perfect stop off when travelling up to Edinburgh. A real traditional pub with great beer. We had the Sunday lunch and it was amazing - lovely, pink succulent beef and a good selection of vegetables....

Food offering very good BUT dining room cold ......wood burning stove had been allowed to go out on one of the coldest nights of the year so far. Requests for more warmth resulted in a few kindlers in the stove which burned for about 10...

Ancrum Cross Keys is a dog friendly restaurant and bar. The food is good and well presented and the staff are friendly.

This pub is our local and we eat here on a regular basis and are never disappointed. Food is always excellent and served by very friendly staff. Open hatch to kitchen so you can see your food being cooked by the chef who is also...

Hot chicken wings and fish and chips excellent along with front of house most accommodating for customers and our dog will definitely be back and recommend to friends and family well done ladies keep up the high standard

The Cross Keys is in the centre of Ancrum, a small village near Jedburgh. The pub serves a good range of real local ales and provides a warm atmosphere. It serves a small menu of well cooked fare catering for the majority of tastes at...

Went for a pub tea on Saturday evening and got a top quality restaurant meal. Lamb rump was tender, cooked perfectly at medium rare and flavoursome, with tasty mash. Chicken was slow excellent with hood flavours. We shared a pudding and again excellent. Cracking beer...

Stopped for a wee shandy Ended up with full Sunday Roast dinner Absolutely delicious and great value Even had a sitting area for dog owners Recommend to anyone

We went here without a table booked and it was a Saturday night. We were shown to a table quickly, given some great drinks from the local brewery and it wasnt long before some lovely food arrived.

Excellent roast beef with all the trimmings Sunday roast. The portion was huge but, as it was so delicious, I somehow managed to eat it all. Although not a huge menu, there's a very good choice including gluten free. You can watch your food being prepared through an open hatch into the busy kitchen. Friendly and efficient service. Tourists and locals enjoying the food and ambience. Easy parking and facilities very accessible

An annual event where many people come to the village and perhaps have a drink in the local pub, as the event unfolds with pipe and brass bands, horses, riders and many locals and visitors come together to celebrate one of the local area 'ride outs'. This is where so many people organise and prepare a lot of these local events, but unfortunately the actual village pub (in Ancrum where this event has taken place) have missed the mark by a long way. Apparently this 'visit' by the horse riders has been going on for many years and, according to locals, there is usually much support and coverage for the event from the local pub with free soft drinks for the riders, two staffed bars, for all etc. This year is a joke! Just one bar with two staff trying hard to serve many, many people all queuing out of the door all evening just to get a drink of some sort. This pub's hospitality is not recommended!

What a lovely experience, the food was lovely and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Helpful from the minute we walked in asking for a table for 7....so friendly and welcoming, brilliant with the kids. Dogs welcome too and made just as welcome as the humans. Will definitely go back.

My husband and I visited here for dinner a few days ago. The place looks lovely, very quaint. Service was excellent and the food was incredible. We had a burger with handcut chips which were amazing, and whisky pannacotta for dessert (I am Italian and this was the best pannacotta I had out of Italy!).

We visited early evening mid week on a Wednesday - they don't serve meals every day. A few parking spaces outside the pub but there is also street parking.

We caĺled in with our dog for lunch and were made most welcome. Good varied menu suitable for everyone, delicious ale from local microbrewery.We had soup, fish and asparagus followed by Panna cotta and a delicious tart Friendly service and our dog felt most included.

This place is a hidden gem!! Great food, great atmosphere, fabulous service!! Highly recommended !! Must visit this place; it’s not to be missed!!

Tonight 10th May was the 1st night the restaurant has been open since mid Feb. We were NOT disappointed. Just been for a delicious meal @ Cross Keys. Ancrum. Open night...would so recommend. Chicken wings as a starter was out of this world. Hubby had lamb for main..beautifully cooked. Mac & Cheese was fabulous with home made fries. Everything was so well presented & served to the table by Cindy. Joules offered a cheery welcome & great chat. We would so recommend. Bring it on. It's wonderful to have a local good pub that can offer such great food & company that is familiar & so relaxing. Thank you. So looking forward to our next visit.

I know that the kitchen has been closed for some months due to a fire, but before that we had a couple of not as good meals so went back to see if it was open again or not.

Visited just last Sunday very dissapointed as all reviews looked great. We visited and we were the only ones there. There was a guy sitting on a table working on his laptop ( the manager presuming ) and chatting to the waitress, his phone was beeping away and the conversation they were having was unprofessional when we were having our meal.

Walked in on spec to be greeted warmly and seated to a table in the rustic yet quaint restaurant. It was busy but the ambiance and atmosphere was just right. Deceiving from the outside, but you won’t be disappointed.

We read reviews on Trip and called in on spec early evening. It was already busy but they found us a table in the bar as we had our Westie with us. The menu looked very tempting and it was difficult to pick a favourite. I had the Fish and Chips, while my wife had a cheesy battered Chicken. Excellent quality and service. Fussed over the dog and provided a bowl of water and treat. Can’t fault it and we will have no hesitation in calling in again if next in the area. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our visit to this pub. They welcomed our dogs with water and treats and the people were all so friendly.

Friendly, great food, accommodating to gluten free requirements & welcomed the dog. All this & haggis pakora to die for. Worth a visit.

In common with most pubs opening hours are being restricted with lower footfall levels, this one does not open lunchtimes during week-days but it sure makes up for it in the evenings. Wide selection of drinks a good craic with the locals and dogs allowed. The Borders Brewery Beers are also good. We returned for food another evening (there is an area reserved for Dog attendance and food excellent with Fish and Chips, Chicken Breast Parmesan and a superb Scotch Beef-Burger service also friendly and solid. This is a superb pub with no pretensions just good beers and some stand-out food.

This is a busy pub so you need to make sure you book. I had the sea bass which was tasty though quite small. The service was friendly and surroundings informal. The pub had come highly recommended so I think our expectations were higher than the food delivered but still a good night out.

Very friendly local pub with amazing gourmet food. Local ales, friendly locals and staff. Visited 3 times in one week.

This is a cosy country pub with an absolutely fabulous restaurant. The landlord and all the locals were really friendly when we called in for a drink one evening. We ate in the restaurant two evenings and the food was sensational. I can highly recommend the feather blade of beef, it fell off the fork it was so tender. This is a pub that is still down to earth, not snobby but serves the most gorgeous food.

Ate here a couple of nights in succession when staying at a nearby self-catering cottage and walking the first two sections of the St Cuthberts Way. Great choice of food and friendly service and catered well to providing gluten free food. Deceptively large beer garden at back which was an absolute sun trap when we were there. Very accommodating to us when we were running late for our table booking. Highly recommended. And you may even run into some vintage cars!

Handing dined regularly here for last couple of years the menu is stale and the service is ok. The place needs money spent on it

Only in here for drinks with the locals, it has a great selection of beers and gins etc. The food is excellent too with a great menu.

We had the dumplings to start with and followed up with the polenta and goat cheese and the cod in ale. All were cooked to perfection. Nice ales too. A very Scottish flavoured pub.

We have been coming to The Borders for a week every year for the past fifteen. ‘This is the best dinner we’ve had in all that time and we have tried most local offerings over the years. Scallops were perfectly cooked with perfectly judged lime dressing and their Slow Cooked Featheblade melted in the mouth. Millionaire Shortbread Mousse was a pudding eater’s nirvana. A really high quality kitchen at work. Bravo ! Highly recommended and we’ll be back next year.

We visited for dinner which my in-laws and brother in-law. It was a great restaurant and the portions were quite good. The restaurant also has a nice patio but we didn't use it. Also there is a bathroom on the premises that is wheel chair accessible, which is an added bonus.

Where to begin. The place feels dirty, the seats are the most uncomfortable I've ever had the misfortune to have to sit on in a restaurant and the cushions that are available make little to no difference.

Travelling back from Kielder Forest to Berwick late on a Saturday, wanting to find a nice restaurant for an evening meal. Found this pub through trip adviser and I have to say it was as good as people say. We booked for 8.15 pm and arrived by 8pm. After grabbing a drink in the bar, we were quickly seated in the back room where you can see the chefs working. Friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. The food was great (my wife said it was one of the best sea bass dishes she had ever had and highly recommends the millionaire chocolate mousse) and of the standard I would expect to find in a smart city or town restaurant, not a small village pub. Have great ales from “born in the borders” and great value. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. About 2 and a half miles outside Jedburgh and worth the detour.

This is a really nice place - we went for dinner. They serve good, home produced, beers and their menu, while simple, is more than adequate. I thought the prices were quite reasonable and happily recommend it to anyone looking for decent food served by nice staff in fairly basic surroundings. Would that there were more like this!

Absolutely superb food! All four of us enjoyed every mouthful of every course (and some of us are very picky!) Staff were really friendly and the chef deserves the highest praise!

It’s the first time I’ve eaten in the Cross Keys since moving up to the Borders, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! Me and my friend got the Camembert to start which was amazing. To follow I got the fish & chips, and my friend had the steak. Which was all washed down with a very flavoursome & reasonably priced Sauvignon! Everything was cooked perfectly, each flavour complimented each other, the service was fantastic, and the restaurant is gorgeous. All in all 10/10, I’ll definitely be back!

Was disappointed after hearing such great things after dining with friends we were asked via email of any allergies to which after stating yes we had no response so i rang before hand to advise them of an allergy and to discuss options I was told this was not a good time and could I phone back which I thought was rude however we went, I didn't feel very welcome we were sat next to the 'open kitchen' where you could hear the chefs talking and being on their phones and then to place their kitchen orders!

With friends visiting the area we took them to the Cross Keys for an evening meal, having been ourselves on quite a few occasions. The food, as ever, was fantastic, especially the featherblade beef. The beef burger was excellent, as too were the puddings. Can't go wrong with the Born in the Borders beers either.

Found this restaurant by chance whilst having an overnight at Wiltonburn Farm. The food, staff and atmosphere exceeded our expectations. This coupled with them being a dog friendly establishment gets a 10 out of 10 from me. Will definitely be back. Terrine was the best ever!!!

We were staying in a self catering place right next door so this was an obvious choice for dinner. We visited on Saturday night so we did book but it wasn't massively busy .Our waitress was chatty and gave some good recommendations.

We had two meals in the Cross Keys while staying in Ancrum in a cottage just over the road from this great pub/restaurant. The meals were beautifully cooked and presented, by friendly staff. I had the featherblade beef which was so tasty and tender, would highly recommend it. It does not look great from the outside, but don't judge this book by it's cover, try it out. I will next time I'm back in the Borders.

Had dinner on Friday night and Saturday night while staying in Ancrum. The waitress, Arlene, while just new to the job, was incredibly helpful and friendly and made some excellent recommendations about what to choose from the menu. The food was fabulous. Everything was freshly cooked and really flavoursome. The mackerel pate was very tasty and the soda bread accompaniment was just right. The beef was cooked to perfection, with a very tasty crust. The veg was cooked just the way I like it. And the desserts were the icing on the cake. Would thoroughly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Treacle featherblade beef was melt in the mouth delicious Friendly efficient staff and helped with travel to get us to the Sevens

After a day of walking in sub zero temperatures, sleet and mud, you want a place where you can go to to recharge. The Cross Keys has this ability in spades. We enjoyed a couple of pints of the locally brewed beer in the bar for £3 a pint before heading into the dining room in the back. (there do bar snacks also that look marvellous) Three of us enjoyed sublime burgers and one of us the roast cod on chorizo risotto. The burgers were incredible, so much so a friend got another one! Wonderfully friendly hospitality in here. Following our meal we headed back into the small old bar. Packed with locals all of whom we encountered were exceptionally friendly. The tremendous lack of background music and an open fire making it toasty and atmospehric harking of the days of old. Everything about this Pub makes we want one like it on my own doorstep. Highly recommended.

The pub was fantastic a couple of years ago then the chef left , then went down hill massively, new chef not any better , puts classical French dishes on the menu but really doesn't understand what they are ! Not good

We were staying in Ancrum for a wee family get together and had dinner here last night. It was fantastic all the food was very nice indeed the duck and the cod were amazing and my pate starter was perfect my only little gripe is I could have went for desert but the desert menu was too limited with only 3 things and ice cream that I didn't fancy, a sticky toffee pudding and creme brulee wouldn't go a miss lol but definitely can recommend this place the food's great, the people and atmosphere are lovely and the service and prices are superb. We had our dog with us I would advise booking ahead if you do the same as I think there's only a couple of tables that's ok for dogs but I'm not 100% sure on that

Just returned from our final meal out on holiday and boy oh boy was it a good one. We were half an hour early but wasn't a problem at all. Table in beer garden and a few beers to while away the time. Once at table we were presented with excellent menu, including excellent children's menu. Even though soup was not on children's menu a half portion was given to him. Really appreciated it. Excellent pate by the way too. My wife had the chicken burger and I had the beef one and both were excellent.

Oh how nice it is to find a local hidden gem that serves truly outstanding food. This time I had...

El menú incluye platos favoritos y elementos creativos. Bistec era especialmente sabroso. Bar incluye cervezas de la cervecería cerca (propiedad de la misma familia).

Un pequeño y acogedor pueblo acogedor pub local en zonas rurales pequeñas. verdaderamente Village Green para niños para correr, ya que sentarse fuera (no hay tráfico! ). Renovado y luego en propiedad y operado (creo) por Chester. Este último es un centro para Experto en Glamping y el pub es muy útil para los clientes. (Puedes ir andando a lo largo de la carretera de Experto en Glamping menores para una milla o dos a este pub). Bar snug con excelente cerveza local. El restaurante también es pequeño - 20 folk? - sugerimos que reserve - nosotros lo hicimos. Carol tenía un excelente tempura mixta - el mejor ella sonrió - y ella ha consumido bastante. Era fresca y caliente con unos enormes gambas. La cocina es abierta y a pocos metros de todos pequeño comedor, que estaba lleno. Dos chefs mujeres trabajando duro. Las comidas de niños mucho mejor que el habitual - pescado fresco (no de paquete en el congelador) y patatas fritas excelentes. Tuve un huevo escocés (y algunos de chips niños! ) excelente. Otro plato caliente y fresco. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Servicio excelente. Ir en Chesters y experto en glamping luego a este pub. Una experiencia contrastante!

Fantastic village pub serving splendid food with Spanish twist to menu. Nice atmosphere, good beer and great service from pleasant staff. Very good price and high recommended.

Found this place of the A68 near Jedburgh what a find. Food was well presented and tasted just as good as it looked. Good service from all the staff and friendly locals with tables out front a courtyard and garden along with bar and dining room well worth a visit.

Lovely country pub that serves delicious food. We sat outside in the sun for pre dinner drinks then went into the dining room to eat. Fresh, tasty food, well presented and served by friendly, cheerful staff. Will definitely be back

I was expecting pub fare but in fact the kitchen was much better quality. I had excellent salmon and my wife had rib eye steak. Both were beautifully cooked. And the rhubarb creme brûlée was really good. We would happily return here.

A lovely local pub that has a restaurant serving lovely food. The staff are extremely helpful and pleasant - we rang them at lunchtime to see if they could fit us in the same night. We were told we could eat in a smaller room off the restaurant, which we were happy with but when we arrived they found us a place in the main restaurant area.The food was great and the service brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble.

We visited this charming borders hostelry after a glorious day at the Melrose 7s rugby tournament. We were all greeted with open arms by the locals and made to feel welcome and included. The addition of good beer made for an entertaining evening.

Last Saturday four us were treated to a very tasty dinner served in very comfortable surroundingsThe inn is beautifully decorated with many period features, lovely log burners and on the walls hang very tasteful paintingsWe were looking forward to our meal which was very tasty Three of us has Rib Eye Steaks WOW I can honestly say they were the tastiest steaks we had had in a long time ... served with a choice of FRESHLY made sauces. No packets used thankfully!!The service was very good very attentive and intuitive staffThank youWe will be back

Has the charm of a traditional village pub, with award winning food, stylish surroundings, a huge beer garden, some spectacular locals and friendly staff. The only downside....you'll need to book.

table for 7 of us, no problem, good choice on the menu, staff very friendly.food very nice, good quality local produce. Lovely setting, very rustic dining room with wood burning stove and open kitchen. great value for money

We've lived in the Borders for nearly a decade and have only just got round to visiting this gem of a pub. Child friendly, with a great kids menu as well as a selection of vegetarian options meant the whole family was happy. Service was great too, really friendly without being in-your-face. It was great value too, with a family of five eating two courses each for less than £60 (not including drinks).

Visited a number of times, the food is consistently good and never disappoints.The set menu has now been extended to several evenings, including Sunday, which is great, as locally Sunday night is dismal as few places open - the number of times we have been on the way home from somewhere and wanted a meal but nothing open.At £15 for 3 courses, it is brilliant value for money and is well cooked, nicely presented and the quantities are right i.e. not too much but enough for a balance 3 course meal.Dogs are allowed into the bar and the front part of the restaurant which is a bonus.

Despite them having a major group booking and a hectc night ahead, they squeezed us in at short notice and even moved a table to a great position beside the fire - brilliant!!The food was delicious and the service outstanding.Just wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy the great atmosphere and the. spontaneous live music from their regulars!

This pub is a nice village pub staff very helpful and very helpful, food was brilliant best pub food we had whilst staying in ancrum the pub as a lovely atmosphere staff made you welcome

My partner and I had a short stay in the village this weekend and sampled the food at this local pub. I had the broad bean burger and mushroom soup the first night, absolutely Gorgeous! So much so I had the soup two nights running.Service was excellent too, staff couldn't do enough for you.A little gold mine.

An excellent meal in this small village. The bar was a seething mass of enthusiasm as we entered and the dining room beyond delivered a first class meal. Should be a recognised pit-stop for the A68, whether heading North or South.
