The Belters Bar in Scottish Borders

Wonderful welcome , amazing choice on menu , taste sensations , everyone happy with their choices. Would definitely recommend. We had a lovely time. Thankyou so much for looking after us

Such a great experience, lovely attentive staff, great range of beers and the slider burgers where the best I've had! Highly recommend :)

Gordon and Lorraine (and Winston) were so welcoming, we felt part of the family! The food - AMAZING! Very tasty. 😋 Potion size - HUGE (we are super greedy so this was very welcomed!) Price - The cheapest meal we’ve had out in a long time. I would highly recommend the Scottish Trash and my hubby and son would highly recommend the Scottish Burger. We will definitely be back next time we are up this way.

So glad we came here for dinner whilst on holiday in the area. The owners were so friendly as was Winston the dog! Huge menu so hard to decide as it all sounded so good but happy with what we chose. Large portions and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, my partner said it was the best burger he’s had in a long time. The Scottish trash loaded fries were so tasty aswell and the kids enjoyed Katsu curry, Mac & cheese & fish cakes. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

It was excellent the meal was very great and service was spot on would fully recommend anybody that anybody who comes to Jedburgh should try this.

Nice warm welcome and really good tasty food at a very reasonable price. Please don't judge a book by its cover as from the outside you might mistake this bar as being closed, but please give it a try as you won't be disappointed.

Great food. A proper pub. Dog friendly bar that serves great food in a proper traditional pub (which is rare these days).

Lovely wee bar with excellent hosts & fantastic food. If you’re in the area give it a try , you won’t be disappointed. AAA+++

Amazing food. Good value. Competitive prices. Made to feel welcome and they have the most adorable pub dog. Make sure you book.

As others have mentioned, this bar does look run down/derelict from the outside and you’d be forgiven for thinking that it is shut. However once you are inside it’s a great little pub. We were the only customers in, bar one local man, and Gordon and Lorraine were very friendly and said they could still cook for us despite the lack of customers. We both had one of the burgers from the diverse menu and both found it to be delicious. Well worth the money!

Please do not let the exterior of this place put you off entering it! We initially thought it looked rundown/closed but we opened the door.........Yes the decor is pretty old but the food is not! Amazing selection of burgers and they were all freshly cooked with accompaniments (the onion rings were particularly good!) We thought the value was really excellent too.

Great night out for my husband's Birthday. Food delicious and plenty of it. Our hosts were very friendly too and chatted to us.

Owners Gordon & Lorraine very welcoming and friendly. The food was outstanding, we dined here three times during our weeks holiday in Jedburgh. We would highly recommend anyone visiting Jedburgh to give it a try. Booking in advance may be advisable.

Nothing negative. Very welcoming hosts/ owners. Great food. Great prices. Good beer, and selection of whisky and other spirits. Good music, which was not too loud.

Another excellent meal and an enjoyable evening, good selection of drinks and a spoilt for choice menu. My go to place for food and drink when in Jedburgh.

My wife and I stopped here for the first time on our regular journey from Northumberland to Edinburgh. This is a real pub with a friendly welcome and outstanding pub food. My wife had the lamb tahine and I had the classic burger, the best pub food we have had in ages. It was a nice touch being able to order sides other than fries with the burger but of course they were available too. Hopefully we will be back.

Went here for my Dad’s 70th 🎁 birthday. Had a fantastic night. Had the mac burger which was lovely and plentiful!! It’s a lovely little pub and we had a few drinks and games of pool afterwards. 10/10.

If you dream of a proper old fashioned unique pub then look no further! This pub has character and isn’t like your chain offering. If you walk in the bar and everyone turns round and looks at you, don’t worry, they’re not being unfriendly, just nosey as who is coming in. Is it someone they know? You are most welcome to come in and enjoy great beer (so my husband tells me), amazing food and all at really good prices. Gordon and Lorraine are great hosts, providing the essentials a good old fashioned pub should. If you go for dinner make sure you have a good appetite or a doggie bag. I’ve never once managed a pudding. I’ll maybe have to go in just for pudding one day. Another wee gem in Jedburgh.

Absolute gem of a bar, proper old-school pub, owners couldn't be any friendlier with a great selection of beers and spirits, nothing is too much trouble, the food is absolutely fantastic especially the burgers, had 2 in 3 nights and my partner is Vegetarian and had the curry and was excellent. The scottie burger was absolutely amazing and the Thai burger with prawns was sublime. Can't wait until we're back next year for another visit, going to Jedburgh? Get yourself there, you won't regret it, friendly lovely proper pub, great prices great food great beer and great staff 🤗

Was in The Belters a lot over the weekend for food and drinks. Food was amazing as always, Great selection of beers and IPA's and a really good atmosphere.

I visited Jedburgh this weekend gone, many things here seem to have changed in recent times and not for the better if you are a visitor, many pubs and restaurants are either closed or are part time (very part time) Luckily Belters bar was not only open for business, it was just as inviting as it was during my last visit. The owners are very friendly, as are the customers. I had a very enjoyable weekend here. There is a very good selection of beers here, the jewel in the crown is the restaurant, excellent food at very reasonable prices. Without any shadow of doubt this is by far my favourite place for food and drink in Jedburgh. Please note, you are best advised to book a table if you wish to dine here, they fill up very fast.

Great little place, not pretentious, a nice atmosphere, good selection of beers and great food! Loads of veggie options!

Had a meal out with my partner had the macaroni cheese which was beautiful, the cheese sauce is excellent and very tasty. My partner had the fish and chips which was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend both. The portion sizes are very generous and the atmosphere and service are always excellent. 10/10.

We went here for dinner and drinks with our 1 year old. It was a week night and very quiet at the time we went in (around 4pm). The owners were friendly and accommodating, they were happy to get us a high chair for our little girl. We were really impressed with the range of burgers and sides they had available on their menu. The portions were very generous and we really enjoyed everything. I would definitely recommend the curry chips as a side. The only suggestion is that the bathrooms could definitely do with a bit of modernisation. Other than that, it is worth a visit if you are looking for good food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Visited after local recommendations and it didn’t disappoint. Extensive menu with many burgers to choose from plus other pub favourites. Went with a friend and both had burgers one meat one vegetarian. Best burger I’ve had in ages, good portion sizes, service was very good, staff friendly and chatty. Tables for food close and this made it good for conversation with those near us. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Wir sind hier auf Empfehlung des Betreibers des örtlichen Campingplatzes gelandet. Wie angekündigt, ist das Äußere des Lokals sehr unscheinbar. Drinnen erwartet einen dann ein typisches Pub. Die Bar wird seit langen Jahren von einem Ehepaar betrieben. Er macht die Bar und sie die Küche. Wir wurden überaus freundlich begrüßt und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Essen (wir hatten Fish and Chips) war überaus lecker und reichlich. Ich kann den Verriss weiter unten nicht verstehen. Das Essen war gut, mehr als ausreichend und preiswert. Schön war, dass man es kaum vermeiden kann, mit anderen Gästen ins Gespräch zu kommen. Wir haben ein sehr nettes Paar aus Adelaide in Australien kennengelernt. Ein toller Abend und wenn wir in der Gegend sind, werden wir sicher wiederkommen.

It was a nice pub but nothing to shout about. We had a couple of drinks and then left. Bar man was ok but not that friendly don't personally understand the attraction.

Had a great night for my birthday meal with my partner Brian and my Dad. Had the Bangkok burger which was lovely. Highly recommend the burger menu, have had a few lovely burgers from here.

Was here with my cousins from Australia, we all loved the food. Good value for money for food and drink. The landlords were also very welcoming

Great welcoming wee pub and restaurant.We were lucky enough to meet the owners Gordon and Lorraine who were sooo nice and made us feel right at home. Give your tastebuds a treat and eat in the restaurant it is delicious and the portion size leaves you full but if you can manage it try the desserts too you will not be disappointed. Best to book in advance as this is a popular place to eat👍😋

Don't be put off by the tired looking exterior or dated interior. The food (served upstairs) is excellent with large portions. Highly recommend the burgers or Scottish Trash. Fantastic value for money and you will need to book in advance to guarantee a table. Looking at some of the negative comments on here, you need to put these in context. This is a bar/restaurant staffed almost entirely by the two owners (husband & wife). Gordon handles the drinks and Lorraine takes the food orders and does all the cooking. As a result, they seem to only have one table booking slot every 15 minutes - this allows them to cater for each table and manage their time accordingly. People arriving late knocks out their well-oiled system and causes them anxiety. If you take the time to speak with them, especially after the food service is complete, you will find they are a lovely, hard working couple with a great, dry sense of humour. We would definitely return.

Quick friendly service. Impressive menu choices - varied and imaginative. Exemplary burgers and home made coleslaw.

Excellent service and amazing banter from the barman a lovely wee place for food and drinks (book ahead of you want food) always made to feel welcome and you can tell it’s a bar that care about its customers.

I asked my landlord where to eat and he suggested Belters as being a good option, advising me to phone and book a table in advance. Travelling solo I was happy that they were willing to reserve a table for one. I thoroughly enjoyed a really good quality burger (wagyu beef) with lots of toppings. Totally filled me up (defeated me, despite a very healthy appetite). Staff were great, very friendly and hospitable.

To be honest we nearly didn’t go inside here as the outside made us think it wouldn’t be up to much but it’s actually a bit of a belter! Very friendly, welcoming staff and a tasty meal. There’s an impressive range of burgers available . We both had veggie burgers and they were excellent. Just goes to show you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. PS. Booking is advisable -we saw loads of folks being turned away.

The venue is very busy and the food shows you why- the staff are very good with plenty of smiles and the food is superb. Guys you must try the wagu burger-these really are brilliant -but you must book the venue to stop you being turned away as this venue is really that popular- The food is really well presented and is great value for money and that is put simply. We tried the burgers, the beef bourgeois and also the fish and chips- all meals were very good and I would highly recommend a visit- but be warned without booking you may not get a table 01835862380 - is the booking number

We love good food, we eat out a lot, we were not let down by Belter Bar, the food was excellent. We both really enjoyed our meals. We will certainly be back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommended.

Cuisine de pub, simple mais bonne et roborative . La salle restaurant par contre est tristounette et manque d ambiance.

Dropped into Belters Bar last night, which was run by a lovely friendly couple. The interior is a bit dated but dont let this put you off as the menu is quite extensive and the food was delicious and huge portions and quite cheap. I...

We ate here two nights running. Excellent food served in small upstairs room - the beefburgers were particularly amazing. Every dish was beautifully cooked and presented. Good beers and wine too.

Will try and be balanced. Staff friendly .. thats about it. Room, furnishings , bar .. absolutely awful. Menu and seating .. bizarre in the extreme. Food I would struggle to serve to my dog.. Cold Bacon chop with a mix of cold slaw /...

Great lunch with friends and friendly welcome. Plenty of choice on their menu and food was delicious. Would recommend the Belters.

Heard that Sunday roasts were now available and decided to treat myself as my partner was away and I couldn't be bothered to cook....well what a roast !!! Lamb was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth with a generous portion of mint sauce...

We were staying in the nearby Meadhon Guest House and popped in for dinner. Yhe owners and waitress were very friendly amd chatty, the menu had plenty choices. The portions were brilliant and food delicious. The pub downstairs has a jukebox and pool table could...

Had my first Belters roast on Sunday and it did not disappoint. Delicious roast beef served in the biggest Yorkshire pudding I’ve ever seen! Cauliflower and broccoli cheese was delicious, the roasties we’re good too. Great value at £15 including a drink. I’ll be back!

Had a lovely meal in here again. We are regular visitors here. Service was excellent as usual. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely cracking meal. Tasted great and oh so full. The beef was lovely and the rosaries potatoes had a great crunch. Can’t wait to try next weeks.

Visited here with my partner for a burger absolutely delicious as always. Excellent service and friendly. We go here quite a lot to eat and are never disappointed. Would definitely recommend.

Gordon and Lorraine are excellent hosts, a great pub with a great atmosphere. We drank and ate here twice last weekend. Also thanks to Bridget for the excellent service and sharing the local tales.

We visited Belters for the first time today, fancied a burger and the reviews suggested it would be worth a visit: BIG TIME YES!I had the Burger (Wagu!), cheesy chips and Mozzarella bites. MY wife had the burger with haggis. Huge portion and super tasty...i...

Was in tonight with my Wife for the Steak deal and it was absolutely Awesome. The best steak we have had in a very long time and at a cracking price too and all washed down with a fantastic pint or two.

Visited with my partner Brian had the cheesy burger which was delicious well worth it the macaroni cheese is lovely.

The wife and i have been saying we were going to try this place for ages as it's so close to home. I'm glad we finally went, and we most certainly will be back. Food is great,a good selection of beers and a friendly helpful...

Best place in Jedburgh by a mile. Owners made you feel welcome from the minute you walk through the door, helped us find a B&B through their friend which was amazing. The food we ordered was freshly made by Lorraine and was the best burgers...

Great food, great beer, great people, great price! Great! Really enjoyed a fabulous meal with our wonderful friends ✋ highly recommended.

The owners were lovely and looked after us, I contacted via Facebook as they were having a little issue with the website as we wanted to book as it was mid-week and was a bit quiet (and the bar is dog friendly). Nice selection of...

Having been recommended by guest house we turned up thinking we had the wrong place, having second thoughts we decided to stay as local options were limited. So glad we did. Lesson learned never judge a pup by looks alone. We were welcomed by landlord...

Absolutely amazing hospitality the owners were so friendly,funny and attentive. Fantastic little bar with great choices. The bar maybe small but the building is huge, upstairs has a down to earth no poshness approach to the most delicious,fantastic fabulous food! Belly bursting platefuls and so...

The atmosphere in the lounge was second to none, The hosts Gordon and Lorraine were most welcoming. Lorraine, who does the cooking produces dishes which are full of flavour. We were lucky to find Belters Bar on our visit to Jedburgh!! D&A East Sussex

Popped in on a saturday night whilst camping in the area. Gordon was really friendly. We had more than a few drinks stayed till closing would recommend as the best bar in the area. If you want to eat in their restaurant upstairs make sure...

visiting jedburgh called for a drink or two! lovely inside and owned by a lovely couple who made us feel very welcome (they even let me charge my phone up) regretted not eating there as the food looked delicious, will certainly visit again next time...

We stumbled on this pub on our way to Edinburgh. It’s an adorable pub after stopping at 3 other pubs that weren’t serving food yet on a Sunday in the late afternoon. The clientele are mostly lovely locals and the amazing food comes at great...

From the outside, Belters Bar looks a bit like a traditional local’s only pub in need of a little tlc but don’t let this put you off - take the step into the bar and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. We had pre-booked and...

Jedburghs secret treasure. Great selection of beers on tap including East Coast ipa and broklyn lager. Definitely the best selection in town. The owner was very accommodating to us when we found ourselves in need of a meal and recommended the burgers, of which there...

Our hotel booked The Belters Bar for us so we didn't know what to expect. The owners are very friendly. Decor not fantastic but the food was delicious. They don't serve starters but the main course is so filling I didn't need one. We all...

Visited with friends and had a cracking time. The burgers were absolutely gorgeous and so big ! Don’t be put off by the quirky style of the place, it’s an absolute gem. The owners and staff are very friendly and we will definitely come back.

My husband and I visited twice during our stay in Jedburgh, the food was delicious, the owners are very friendly and the service was outstanding

The staff were very pleasant, service was quick and the food was amazing. Very generous portions. Don't let the exterior put you off, it was a very pleasant evening.

Pub doesn’t look much from the outside and bar is small and bit cramped, but the staff were very welcoming and the choice of meals for such a small place was amazing. Our choices were superb and have good range of beer to go with...

We had a fantastic meal here, i had the Goulash and my Wife had the Mac Attack burger and both meals were awesome. We eat and drink here quite often and we have never been disappointed. Lorraine is a great chef and you are always...

Arrived here at about 6pm on a Tuesday evening. We went in to be met by a woman standing in the middle of the floor staring at us. As the place was empty apart from the unmoving staring woman I asked if the place was...

hidden away in Jedburgh and not very inviting....BUT once inside a fabulous welcome from the two owners, great choice of food and drinks, service was "WOW" and great value for money. It was Beltingly good.. thank you

Just excellent. Group of 11 booked at short notice but were really well looked after. Food was top rate and delivered hot and prompt. Friendly welcome, highly recommended :-)

We had a great night here. We were quite a big group, but we were very well looked after. The food and drink was first rate, and we received a lovely friendly welcome. Give it a try!!

huge choice. friendly and welcoming. excellent service. we had booked elsewhere but they cancelled on us and recommended the Belters Bar. they took us on at very short notice and did us proud. they could not do enough for us. definitely recommend.

We arrived on mass, white canes akimbo. Furniture was moved to squeeze us all in, orders taken and food arrived hot, fast and tasty. Relaxed, easy going and unpretentious.... A big thank you to the lovely local who paid our bill.

The world is full of pubs that look the same, this isn’t one of them! This is a proper old fashion British pub which serves great food, and great beer (my husband tells me!) If you walk in and people look round at you, don’t...

We visited with a big group and had not pre- ordered. When we first arrived if I’m honest I was a bit sceptical as the seating upstairs was more like a bar and several food options were not available. However the food came quickly and...

There are very few eating options in Jedburgh. Our hotel didn’t provide evening meals so we ate at Belters. I’d suggest going for the burgers as the safest option. The beer was good!

In the centre of town, a small bar over 2 floors, serving interesting great value tasty food. We visited as a group of 14 having pre-ordered our food beforehand, and were taken care of very well, with all of our food served piping hot at...

A small, intimate dining space so you may need to book during a weekend, however it is definitely worth it. The restaurant is upstairs from the pub, which has a pool table and a few seats. The food was wonderful- the menu had a huge...

Friendly, nice choice of beers for myself and my partner. Had different dishes each on two nights and all for turned out to be excellent and plentiful. Had the 'Scottish Trash' last night which was a very nice dish made from strips of steak. Tonight...

What a fantastic night we had at belters bar last night. Food was amazing. Such a friendly relaxed atmosphere. The owners were great hosts and made us feel super welcome. Will definitely be back.

We recently spent a very pleasant evening in this pub. Tasty, generous food - (I had lamb tagine), friendly service, a really good choice of good beer and a welcoming atmosphere.

Nothing to find fault with here - I’ll echo previous reviewers who’ve said it’s nothing to shout about from the outside but once you’re through the doors it’s a different story. Staff are warm and welcoming and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The menu...
