The Croft Restaurant in Scottish Borders

Absolutely lovely time, and a big thanks to Karen @ the complex, a lovely lunch, with lots of TLC, and made the birthday lunch special. Followed by great kid’s entertainment with the animals & science show! Brilliant team, brilliant show, we will be back!! Thank you for going out your way to make us relaxed and happy!

We didn’t stay at Scoutscroft but we ate here most nights of our holiday. We found the food really good, well presented and cooked and really good value for money. The staff were lovely, really friendly and helpful. We would definitely visit again if we are back in the area.

Went for evening meal. Only us in dining Room - no atmosphere. But looks good. Menu pretty varied- typical pub food. Mushrooms bit too crunchy as starter. Scampi and chips ok. Macaroni very bland. Service ok but had to ask for cutlery etc. Nothing special just ok.

Like other reviewers I feel sorry for the staff since verdant leisure have taken over everything is a lot worse including the food. What used to be a friendly restaurant with excellent service good value for money food has changed overnight. The menu is like something you would get out of a packet in a supermarket no wonder it was deserted and we were the only people there for an evening meal. My husband could have bounced his fried egg all the way back to the kitchen can you play ball with fried eggs?.I would have been better buying a packet of curry a takeaway from Morrison's as I'm sure that was what was served up. We couldn't even go next door to the Fish and Chip shop since verdant leisure chased them away. I feel sorry for the local people in St Abbs.

So looking forward to a Sunday dinner at the Croft Restaurant to discover No carvery! This was due to low numbers and completely understandable. However, at the same price of £8.95, we decided to stay for the Sunday Meal, advertised as Roast beef and seasonal vegetable with roast potatoes... a somewhat reduced plate of a Sunday dinner arrived and disappointed before trying. Beef and the limited carrots were very good, but how can you go wrong with carrots. Burnt Yorkshires not 1 but all, brussel sprouts (that were a vast majority of the veg) were soggy and certainly not seasonal, a small spoonful of peas and green beans with the stalks still on..Hence the disappointment.. The staff are however, tentative and thoughtful. We have been informed that the Carvery will return and so will we, but in the meantime we'll be skipping our Sunday dinners here. Hopefully next time the new chef won't burn the Yorkshire Puddings

The staff are lovely, very helpful and couldn't be more apologetic. However, they had new chefs after being closed during the management changeover, and they were a bit inexperienced. A rare steak came out like shoe leather it was so over cooked, and the chocolate brownie was actually charcoaled in the middle where it had been over-microwaved. There were 8 of us eating, and the other meals were OK, but wouldn't go back

The wife and I where only there to meet friends, great choice of malt whisky and food is great. Staff very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back

We were seated in bar, Great varied menu and good choices for the children. The Service was very friendly and efficient. The food was delicious and we all had empty plates. Nice play area outside for the children let off steam

Went on a Sunday for their carvery and at £8.95 is good value. 3 different meats plus all the trimmings. All very tasty but the ham was the best for me. We all had pudding but we were astonished to be told that there was NO custard in the restaurant( one mark deducted for that). Will be back though to try again.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat before the Ghost walk in Coldingham last night. Opted for the bucket of fish and was not disappointed. It was both delicious and beautifully presented. My hubby went for a burger which was so large he struggled to finish it though he did manage because he said it tasted so good. The kids went a bit off menu but the staff were happy to accommodate. All in all a delicious meal and we will definitely be back.

Went for a meal one evening while visiting village and was most surprised. A large spacious bar and restaurant with very friendly and attentive staff. Would highly recommend a visit. Definitely the best restaurant in Coldingham.

Great food using local produce. Everything fresh, tasty and homemade. The Nachos were amazing and the burgers are huge. Accommodated our party of 9 at short notice. Linda was a wonderful host, nothing was too much trouble. Great value for money. We visited several times over our week holiday and would recommend to anyone who is in this area.

Had a fantastic meal at the Croft last night, home made meals & deserts. Great service too. Will definitely be visiting again.

I have been here for meals with my Husband quite a few times and never had a bad meal! the staff are excellent they can't do enough for you, they even cater for people with different dietary needs ! we will returning for more meals I would recommend it x

My partner and I drove through from Belhaven Bay to Scoutscroft to have dinner at the restaurant on site (The Croft). We couldn't find a menu online but decided to take the gamble, and we're so glad we did! I had the Bucket of Fish...gorgeous haddock, scampi and prawns with chips, coleslaw and side salad for £11.95. My partner had butcher's sausage, mash, carrots, turnip and a lovely onion gravy for £8.95. Both excellent plates of food and brilliant service from the lovely Jordan. We visit this coast a lot and are delighted we've found another lovely option for dinner.

Booked in advance as 14 adults. Linda and staff courteously of picky eaters. We chose the set menu. Smoked salmon salad was to die for huge delicious salad, homemade coleslaw. The roast beef dinner,melt in the roast beef. For desserts choice of cheesecakes,crumble or angel cake was mouth watering. As a group we have adults with disabilities and the disabled toilet is huge and very clean. Thank You. We will be back.

If I could give the croft 10 stars then I would, the food and service are second to none, we go as a group around once a month, and are made to feel very very welcome, all our needs and tastes are catered for without any trouble, keep it up ladies, we all love it xx

Very impressed with a recent meal at the Croft Restaurant. The menu was diverse, well priced and the food was all home-cooked and delicious - the bucket of fish was a highlight (super crisp batter on a selection of haddock, king prawns, scampi, etc). The staff are excellent and went out of their way to cater for a gluten free diner. The chef even stayed late so that we could enjoy dessert. Top marks all round.

Whilst staying on site we decided to pop in for a carvery a few weeks ago. We were met by a very friendly lady who allowed us to sit anywhere we wanted instead of forcing us somewhere convenient for them. Drinks quickly arrived and we had a small wait for our empty plates to come. Once they did it was a sprint to the hotplate for some delicious homemade food. It was hot and very tasty, extra gravy was quickly brought over and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. It was nicely decorated inside and had a very relaxed atmosphere to it. Its great to know that Scoutscroft not only has a good bar, amazing chippy and now a wonderful restaurant. We will definitely be returning soon and recommending this place to all of our friends and family. Forgot to mention they even allowed us to take a plate of food back to our caravan for a friend who couldn't make it to the restaurant.

Had a lovely lunch today. I had the Bucket of Fish and as usual it was lovely. Can't fault it. My partner had Baked Haddock with potato Salad and Coleslaw. High standard of food ,well presented in lovely surroundings. Staff go out of there way to please. Highly recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed

We haven't long moved permanently into the village and we have used this lovely place a few times since we had a wonderful experience whilst waiting on access to our new property. I wrote a review then, and simply wanted to say, our opinion has never changed. We take the visitors we have had staying and they are always pleased at every aspect. The food, as ever is marvellous! To anyone from Coldingham, remember that old adage, 'use it or lose it!'.

Fantastic venue for family, friends to meet for a chat or a drink. Scoutscroft is a fantastic family run business with something for all the family. Crofters has friendly staff, beautiful food and a fantastic atmosphere 10/10

Went for a Birthday meal. Friendly reception. Super service and good food what more could you want. Well worth a visit!

We came here with a large group of friends ( 36)

Staff couldn't be more helpful - staying in pods at Scoutscroft holiday park, definitely to be recommended even in October had so much fun playing in the sea, up for a roasting hot shower and lovely food and atmosphere at Crofters. Made to feel very welcome!

Really good food. Good portions. I had the Bucket of Fish and my partner had Minted Lamb Shank. Both delicious. Could not fault the meal. Beautifully cooked and presented well. Will definitely be back. Well done.

Enjoyed my meal I had chilli and there was a big group of us and the majority was happy. You are not going to please everyone however I think for the price which averaged around £10 for main meal was very reasonable and yes I would visit again

Was staying in the holiday park where the restaurant is situated. Only had 1 meal there and it was fish and chips.the fish was totally amazing best fish I ever had and it was massive the fish was hanging over my plate and the chips and salad was great too.it is a nice clean and friendly restaurant so if u r ever in the Area u must try it up won't be disappointed

What a fantastic meal we had here, the food was amazing!! Great portions, menu choice great and efficient friendly service! We will be back!

Had a beautiful lunch here yesterday and can't praise the place enough, the staff go beyond belief to make you feel at home and it's great they take time to talk to you as well. The food was beautiful I had the spicey chicken burger but not to be mistaken for one of these minced chicken burgers, it was a beautiful fillet of chicken and lovely home made chips , well done The Croft couldn't ask for better xxx

Recently, we enjoyed a few days at Scoutscroft with the family. Our stay was made so enjoyable and relaxed, thanks to the amazing attention we received from the ladies in the restaurant.

Just about to move permanently into the village and whilst sorting things out, my husband and I feel we struck lucky with this delightful restaurant. Not exactly in a location where you would usually expect to find amazing, beautifully cooked and presented food, but DO NOT be fooled. This restaurant, running a mere 6 weeks under the new owners would put many a more exclusive (aka expensive) restaurant to shame. The food, ranging from some old favourites to, for example, my dish of delightfully seasoned baked haddock with salad (tasty dressing), new potatoes and home made coleslaw. We were looked after attentively by Linda, whilst her daughter was the cook behind the mouthwatering offerings. The price was excellent, the surroundings delightful and once we move next month, I know where we will be on that first evening and many others to come. Wishing the new owners much luck. To anyone from Coldingham, remember that old adage, 'use it or lose it!'.

It's often a parent's nightmare to take your kids out to eat when you have fussy eaters.... But not here.

After a walk on the cliffs we popped into Scoutscroft Restaurant for a carvery. Friendly table service...Jarl real ale...and a very tasty carvery (roast beef, super crispy roast potatoes...plenty of veg and gravy...wish new owners all the very best!

Fantastic friendly service with great fresh food. Have previously struggled to find a nice restaurant in Coldingham but the lovely family run Crofters solves this.

Arrived to a very warm welcome from the lady in the restaurant .

Staying at Scoutscroft holiday park, visiting Crofters is a must. We have eaten here often throughout the holiday.

Scouts croft Restaurant – new management a hit !

My parents have had a caravan there for 6 years and this is the first time I have dined there. We were 3 adults and 4 children, and would like to thank the staff in the restaurant for a delightful meal and excellent customer service received. As soon as we walked in from the warm welcome, to each delicious course we all left very full, and extremely impressed by the standard of food served to us. We would encourage you all to pop in for a meal, you will not be disappointed. Having been in most restaurants from coldingham to Berwick over the years this is our favourite. We had chicken and bacon Caesar salad with home made chips, bucket of fish with chips and coleslaw, peri peri chicken and rice, kids nugget and chips, gammon and chips, sausages and chips, followed by sticky toffee pudding, chocolate brownies, apple pie with custard and amazing home made banoffee pie. All cooked and presented to a high standard. The young waiting staff were very efficient. We will return. Thanks x
