Would suggest avoiding for food if our experience is anything to go by. Dropped in for a quick meal on Friday 8th November. Left with a fairly low opinion. On a positive, the chips were pretty nice, and the burger I ordered was also reasonable fayre. My brother however is Gluten Free so was limited for choice, however there are a couple of options on the menu so all good. Opted for the chicken and chorizo dish at £14. A bit steep, but hey ho. Poorest GF plate we have seen in a long time. 1 chorizo "link" sausage butterflied and heated up somehow, made it so hard it was stiff to cut and not edible. Atop this was a small chicken breast with a topping that made it taste like washing up liquid (we both had a go at it). These were both outdone by a "mango and pepper salad" which was unappetising mush. I'm not convinced the mango had seen daylight in 2024 - more probably the inside of a freezer cabinet. When paying at the bar, I mentioned that this dish was truly awful. Basically got ignored and simply told that's thirty five quid please. Hopefully this gets read and the owners can consider upping the game?

Placed our order at 10.55 still waiting on our order at 11.40, sat down with our Luke warm coffee to find the table was filthy, we did ask the young girl to please clean it, half an hour later after a 2nd request she did, with a filthy stinking cloth. Breakfast arrived eventually with the fried eggs raw, another 10 minutes wait to have them replaced. Then a cat was allowed to crawl over a nearby table and young waitress clapped and cuddled it then served food without washing her hands. We did get a 2nd coffee free of charge from the gentleman who thinks he has an answer for everything. In his opinion the customer is always wrong. The cost of breakfast has also gone up and the portion is much smaller

It’s not easy to get a decent vegan burger in Peebles or surrounding area so I was delighted to experience the delicious homemade apple and carrot vegan burger at the cross keys. The rustic fries were also very high quality. I’ll be back 😃

We stopped for a beer and a soft drink and were surprised about the change of ownership after a few months away. I was pleasantly surprised by the take over. The staff were incredibly friendly and the beer was reasonably priced. I was really impressed to see local beers on the menu and how attentive the staff were to the beer quality! We hadn't planned on staying for food as we had arranged a meal elsewhere but had to try to the loaded fries..the haggis with whiskey mayo were divine! Sat down, we heard so many other diners talk about how good the food was and I could agree it smelt great so quite surprised by the bad reviews here.. better than a microwaved spoons meal for sure! And there's music and they allow dogs. All in all it's a win for the Cross Keys!

Went for lunch today. Husband wanted steak pie but there was none despite being only 12.30 on a Saturday. He then chose gammon steak with peppercorn sauce, 20 minutes later the waiter came to say 'no peppercorn sauce'. We waited 40 minutes for our food and everything on my husbands plate was only just warm, so completely cold when he wasn't even half way through it. I had what was meant to be lasagne which was hot but instead of a nice rich herby tomato and mince bolognese sauce it was just like grey mince in layers of pasta with cheese on top. No bechamel sauce either. Garlic bread was good but my portion of chips were cold. I left half the lasagne and nearly all the chips. Trouble is there was hardly any staff around and a queue at the bar with people ordering food and drinks so to return the food to get it reheated we would have had to stand in the queue then wait however long again to get it back. This is the perfect way to lose customers.

There was five of us it for dinner on Saturday night.We waited ages before the waitress came to take our order which we gave her then the wine waiter came we ordered drinks.We then waited and waited for our dinner,three meals arrived then the drinks arrived.The meals that came one steak pie was cold so was plate,second meal scampi was also cold plate also,third meal scampi was warm so was plate.There still no sight of the other two meals.We complained at the bar and was told they stopped serving meal at 7pm but on the menu it was 9pm.we arrived at 7pm.We again complained to the manager that we were not happy with the meals etc and asked him to repay our bill as everything had to be payed up front.He said after about forty five minutes arguing with him that he would pay the meals but not the drinks.We accepted our money in cash after he said he would only put it in our payment card which we refused as we were making sure we got the money after all we did not get the five dinners. Utterly terrible service don’t know about the food as we never had any.da,em,sm,aa,and daughter S.

Husband had booked an overnight stay for work, however that fell through and as he had an advance purchase rate, Annalisa went above and beyond to secure another date so we both could use the booking. Room 3 was spotlessly clean, shower/bathroom spacious. Lovely view of beer garden and scenery in the background too. We had dinner and breakfast both lovely and at a reasonable price too. I mean £1.56 for a coffee!! Where would you buy a coffee for that! Staff friendly. Wished we had time to stay for lunch as everything being served looked fab. Thank you once again Annalisa we will back.

Firstly, the positive. The breakfast filled rolls and porridge were tasty and fairly priced. Unfortunately, the experience was spoilt by the time taken to bring our order to the table. Forty minutes wait time for breakfast is simply unacceptable. I’m afraid if they don’t get their act together on service very soon they won’t last long.

We were only in for some drinks. Previously with Wetherspoons the staff had earpieces to communicate. Now the staff have walkie talkies and every communication can be heard by customers. Not good when you have food issues, which were many, mainly the delay. Having said that we were happy as the beer was good.

We love Weatherspoon pubs so when we were in Peebles we thought that it would be good for lunch. Sadly we only got drinks despite having two trips to the bar everything we asked for appeared to be not available. Staff told us only 2 staff were on. Tables were not cleared everywhere. So we went to another bar the county Inn which was much better.

Although this pub is quite dark and a bit dingey, plus smells a bit damp at the back, the food was very tasty and incredibly inexpensive which is much needed in this day and age! Two halloumi and sweet chilli wraps plus coffees with free refills, just over £13! Amazing! The staff were very pleasant as well. It’s just a shame I dislike the political stance of the man who owns the company!

Arrived at 12 noon on a Thursday. Thursday is advertised as a speciality curry day. The only issue was that there was no Jalfrezie, Madras or Tilka. Basically no curry available. Wetherspoons at its best, starts with a bang and quickly becomes a damp squib. If it’s any comfort the ham, egg and chips was just about edible

Spoke with the manager and got told to book somewhere else then.we would have but there was no availability and I was not going to drive 1.5 hours back to Glasgow. We were told as a gesture we would get breakfast. In the morning no breakfast was given at all had to pay on top of 85 for a room which was not fit for purpose. Avoid at all cost.

A few things were off the menu but there was still plenty of choice. The place was much busier in the evening with all age ranges. We were happy with our food and the service we received. The staff did seem to be rushed of their feet however but they coped well. Maybe they were short staffed that evening.

Awful experience. It started with placing our orders at the bar. We wanted 4x fish & chips but they had no fish. And the kids ordered orange juice. But that has run out. We ended up ordering Mediterranean salad with haloumi. And waited and waited to be served. Only to find out they ran out but failed to let us know. It all ended with a partial refund after the waitress was rude to us and the manager stepped in. We are local but will never go there again.

Popped in for a quick pint. Took over 45 minutes to arrive. Staff kept turning up to my table with drinks I didn't order. That wasn't surprising considering there was 20/25 youths table hopping and shouting and being very rude. I felt sorry for the old couple trying to enjoy their meal amongst it all. Who would think we've just came out of a lockdown. Staff were running around like blue arsed flies. Absolute mayhem. I'm getting a little long in the tooth but these 'youths' are getting way younger. I have late teens children myself and they all looked and acted younger. I thought bar staff had to challenge 25 when serving alcohol??Avoid at all costs unless you have filled up on diazepam and really need a watered down pint. Oh, and have lots of time to kill twiddling your thumbs waiting on your drink.

Booked this last minute to get away for a break. Didn’t really know what to expect but it far surpassed our expectations. It was Spotless and the rooms were spacious and beds were so comfy. We had room 1 which was lovely my only criticism would be it had a disabled bathroom/wet room and once you had a shower the floor was soaking. A floor mop would have been a welcome addition to the room. All other items you could want were available. We had lunch and breakfast in the restaurant which again didn’t disappoint a great overnight stay. Our friend stayed in room 2 which was slightly bigger and had a bathroom rather than wet room which I would recommend.

Had a lovely day in Peebles then came here for something to eat. You had to book it on your phone app which suited us okay but may not suit everyone as not all people have phones capable of downloading the app. Luckily we do!!The staff were friendly enough and surroundings pleasant with both inside and outdoor seating.The food came not too long after ordering and the food was lovely. When you wanted more drinks then you just tapped on the drinks wanted and it was brought to the table with no problems at all.The place has a disabled toilet with easy access which was good as otherwise the other main toilets are upstairs.We had a lovely chilled meal before heading home again. We didn’t realise till it was pointed out to us that you can stay over here too as they bedrooms. This is always good to know as it’s in perfect location to access the shops, nature walks etc and the rooms look value for money.I think we would come back for a chilled weekend, staying over and having a wander around Peebles then back to the pub for drinks and of course food.This place is definitely a little diamond of a find as it’s set off the main high street we had missed knowing it was there at first. But now we know we will look forward to trying out staying a couple nights since it’s closer than the other hotels we usually stay in. A little change is a good thing. Stay Safe

We booked 2 nights for a family member celebration, so wanted to pay in full prior to the date as we would be out of the country when they arrived. Told this was impossible, couldn't access booking until the date!!! Wouldn't or couldn't accept an advance deposit. Having worked in hospitality for over 20 years, I know that this is absolute nonsense. Attitude was disgusting, no compromise offered, no good will gesture.clearly not interested in the business, therefore I cancelled the booking on the spot, their attitude was "fine, you do that, if you can't be bothered!" Never in 20 years of hospitality have I felt the need to complain/comment until now. How these people are in jobs dealing with the public is beyond my comprehension, your staff training needs looked at & also the booking technology you have in place, if your staff cannot access a booking until the date of arrival for advanced deposits etc.

Couldn't fault the food we ordered and we didn't wait too long, nor did it arrive straight after ordering. The queues at the bar for food and drinks were very long and it looked like the place could do with more staff. The beer garden was a lovely area to sit out in the sun. Would happily visit again.

Sunday lunch, excellent value, decent quality, good service, good real ale, and all in an old coaching inn which is over 300 years old. Perfect.

It’s a Wetherspoons, what more can you say. It is clean, and the staff friendly. A few menu items not available.

Really enjoyed visiting the Cross Keys a number of times whilst visiting Peebles in Scotland. They provide a good range of beer and a reasonable menu, staff are friendly and work hard, they were very under staffed at busy times and many tables remained uncleared attracting wasps which caused the usual arm waving panic. Lovely old pub with plenty of seating, would recommend a visit if not only for the great value drinks.

Had a really good steak, and pint of Punk on the steak day (Tuesday). My partner and her sister chose off the standard menu. All three meals were excellent, steak was perfect.

We have stayed in the past and enjoyed our stay and food, but recently it was a disappointment. The evening meal and the breakfast was of a very disappointing standard, the manager was not interested in his customers or the standard of service or the food served.

An excellent choice for a reasonably priced meal. Drinks very well priced with helpful staff. The meals ideal for taking children with plentiful outdoor facilities.

Stayed here for one night on a tour of Scotland. It’s a Wetherspoons Hotel and pub. It’s on a one way street with no parking outside. Peebles is a very small town with a handful of shops and bars. It has a outside area in the front and also at the rear.

Was sat outside almost on the street on a lovely summer day with our 2 well behave small dogs. My wife went inside to order our lunch and a well deserved pint. All of a sudden I was approached by staff to say I was not welcome at the cross keys with our dogs. My wife had just payed for the order and the pints had been poured only for the staff to say sorry you have dogs so here is your money back give us back the drink.

Stayed in the Cross Keys for the night. Food was typical Wetherspoons, but was nice. A nice selection of beers. Stayed in a room for a night, a big comfy room, bed was a bit hard for me, but the wife liked it. Sat in the back beer garden for while which was nice.

Visited a few times during our stay in Peebles. A fairly standard Wetherspoons, but compared to the ones at home, incredibly quiet. Has limited seating outside at the front which catches the evening sun and a lovely beer garden to the rear which unfortunately doesn't. A bit dark inside which lets the place down. Anyway the highlight of the Cross Keys was the bar staff. They were attentive, friendly and engaging. Most un-Wetherspoons from my experience of lazy, distracted and surly staff at our local spoons.

A very well kept Spoons with clean tables and establishment. Friendly attentive service and a good choice of ales. Also one of the best beer gardens that you’ll find in the Borders. Very affordable prices and a tasty cheap and cheerful meal. If you are aware of the Wetherspoons philosophy you will be aware that’s it’s not fine dining or anything luxurious, but you should find, pleasant staff and prices at a very reasonable price. Will be returning and can recommend

Well known chain but much better service than our home one. Wee nooks and crannies and nice outdoor seating. Friendly staff.

In the south of Scotland amongst the rolling hills of the Southern Uplands lies the undeniably lovable town of Peebles. There are a surprising number of culinary offerings for a town of merely 8,000, not the least of which is The Cross Keys restaurant connected to a hotel of the same name.

What a find! Lovely room, comfortable bed, light and airy. Had an evening meal, place was packed! Great value, fast service, tasty curry, no complaints. In the morning we had a cooked breakfast, very good, staff efficient and friendly. Thoroughly recommended.

We sat with our dog at a table in the outdoor courtyard at the front of the pub on the street. There were no signs to tell us this was not allowed. We went to get drinks and ordered food. After 40 mins (during which no staff had been out in the courtyard) a member of staff walked by and we had to leave with our dog. When I said we had already ordered food, he said we would be refunded. A really awful experience, terrible handling of the situation (even though we have discovered subsequently that it is company policy) - no apology about the lack of notice. In the end they let us keep our vegetarian wrap to take away which was tasteless anyway.

Goede maaltijden, goede porties. Bij het ontbijt is er erg veelkeuze en je hoeft nooit lang te wachten op je eten.

Avoid avoid avoid! Took the family for breakfast. Raw eggs, egg shell in food, service was absolutely awful. Long wait. Didn’t get replacement food so decided to leave. Staff were rude and obnoxious!

Mackays was absolutely the best fish and chips I had tasted in years. The portions were very generous, and the menu was surprisingly wide-ranging too.

Just had a munchy box for 2. Absolutely brilliant. Loads of food in 2 boxes, really nice chips & kebab meat. Service was quick and friendly. If I lived closer I'd be in every week.
