The Cross Keys - JD Wetherspoons in Scottish Borders

Called here today and had one of the best pizzas I have ever tasted. Lovely staff too, would thoroughly recommend.

Food was good and nice cleaning restaurant/bar

Took the family out for breakfast. Food was excellent and great value. Service was impeccable.

I ate dinner here after hearing they had a new chef. Venison burger was bloody delicious, and the pizza was very, very good. Loved the chips, really crispy and not too thick. Very reasonably priced also. You get the quality you pay for, and it was all very tasty.

Much menu nicer now it is no longer a Wetherspoons and some nice beers. However the dirty chips are not good value very small portions. Needs to be bigger or cheaper. EDIT - back a week later and feel it only fair to compliment the food - this time I had the club sandwich , which was massive and very tasty Great value at £8 and puts the poor value of last weeks £9 dirty fries to shame

Had a lovely meal in here with friends, food was lovely and a very good price, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend The Cross Keys and will be definitely be back.

Had lunch here today fri 6th September 24 .. Excellent sandwiches nice atmosphere. Friendly bar staff xx

Lovely breakfast 😋 great value for money too.. definitely recommend.

This place served me one of the best gammon steaks I've had in a very long time , well worth popping in if your in the area !!

If you like your breakfast overcooked this is the place.Rock solid potato scone, poor quality ingredients, friend left 90% of food uneaten, so bad. Staff very pleasant.

When Wetherspoons put it up for sale, a local group took it over, and it's brilliant. The whole place has been spruced up, and they have kept the prices down. Great pub, and the breakfasts are awesome. 😁👍

The staff where superb go beyond there duties to ensure you have a smashing time whilst in residents

Great breakfast menu and excellent value. Immaculately clean toilets.

Fantastic place for food and drinks. Came here a few times when it was Wetherspoons, couldn’t bring the dogs, so not good for Peebles, as a very dog friendly town. Since it has changed hands, what a difference. Staff are so bubbly, really chatty, and totally different from the spoons staff. Joe was looking after my mum and I and was a great help when deciding what we wanted to eat. Have to say, the food is gorgeous. Mum got the steak and ale pie. WOW .. I decided to go for the cheese burger, fresh from the butcher in Innerleithen. Did not disappoint. Had to be greedy and order sticky toffee pudding, mum had pancakes. Great they now let my two dogs in, makes a huge difference. Prices the same as spoons, if not better. £6 for cheeseburger with fries, can’t go wrong with that. Will definitely be back at the weekend, for some more great food.

Great to find Cross Keys is no longer a Wetherspoons! Dogs are welcome and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Really enjoyed our dinner and drinks.

Great pub/hotel in a lovely location, with a good selection of beers and food. The rooms were lovely and clean and the staff were fantastic, very welcoming.

It fell off but it's cheaper so it's alright

Nice & clean pub, friendly staff & good prices.

The burger was burnt, and it was the driest burger I have ever eaten. I think this is actually the worst burger I have eaten ever. And coffee was tasteless tasted like hot water. Terrible, Shame to see a place being taken over and failing. Wetherspoons failed and it seems the new owners also failing.

Good selection of beers and incredibly cheap.

Nice place, great service. Plenty of options and deals on the menu

My partner stayed up there last night the room was lovely he lost his phone and the cleaner that was there this morning went above and beyond to help him find it and got it back to him safely we will be booking a room there for a break away

Atmosphere great, staff brilliant and really good food.

They were busy today due to a staff shortage. At Easter!!! After 20 mins from my online order I had to go to the bar and it was sitting there. Staff had come out to our area during the 20 mins to clear tables. Don't understand why they couldn't have brought our drinks with them. Nor why they didn't message to say drinks were there.

Have stayed in The Cross keys before so knew what to expect but this time we had a much bigger room . It was beautifully decorated with a sofa and easy chairs and table . The walk in shower was great . The staff were very helpful and we were able to check in an hour early .

Food was great. Can't say I am impressed with the ordering system though.

Decent food and drinks at Wetherspoons – nothing fancy and good value, but hey, it's the same old reliable stuff everywhere. Great if you're not feeling adventurous.

The quality of the food is excellent and makes me wanting to come back more, the only thing is the table weren't very clean at the time which was a shame as the food was top notch catering.

Good food, excelent staff, would go again

Was passing through and went in for a drink and something to eat good little cosy pub friendly staff and atmosphere. My pizza was good and didn't take long to arrive after ordering. I would definitely recommend coming back 👍

Went for a few drinks then decided to have some food, wife had a steak and asked for it to be well done, steak arrived and it was raw in the middle took it back, another steak arrived exactly the same, walked out in disgust, bar staff we dealt with were brilliant, this is the 1st time we've had to complain about anything in spoons and we've visited a few.

Wasn't brilliant, food was undercooked and service virtually non existent. Good coffee though.

A great experience. Both reasonably priced food and drink. Staff is very pleasant and helpful. Hats off to weatherspoons for creating a great eating and drinking establishment in a historic building.

A very nice JD Wetherspoon in Peebles. A decent-sized building with plenty of seating, both inside and out. The food was fine and consistent like all Wetherspoon pubs and would certainly visit again. This was also my first ever Haggis Pizza experience and it was a positive one and would recommend it.

Very quick service and friendly staff

unreal pizza, won a tenner on the fruitys aswell.

Good, fast service, good prices. Same as all Wetherspoons

Just alright. Food is ok, and good service

Food and experience improved from last time i was there

Great experience reasonable prices

Always go there when in Peebles.

Always happy to visit the spoons! Good food at reasonable prices and the beer rarely disappoints.

Good atmosphere friendly pub. Unfortunately, I had to send 2 of our lunches back as they weren't hot enough.

Cheap and cheerful beer good food ok.

Great food & drink at reasonable prices. Lots of choices on the menu.

Popped in for a drink with my husband. The pub was lovely and warm, which was great as it was freezing and wet outside, and the price for drinks is brilliant value for money. The building itself really needs a good clean! When waiting for the server to pour our drinks, both my husband and I commented on how dirty the bar was. The tables/seats were no better.

Great value hotel with all the usual wetherspoons attractions

Great staff. Helpful, and very efficient

Very poor place sitting outside with my well behaved dog and got asked to leave because its there policy 😕, even people said that the dog was well behaved and doing nothing wrong

Slow service, tables not wiped clean

Good place to work, easy going spoons. Very standard decor, menu and service. Not too busy, not too rowdy, just a decent clean spoons. Giant clean toilets as always.

Cheap and cheerful, a bit short on staff but the ones that are on do very well.

Nice old pub.. nooks & crannies every where, usual menu for spoons, Cannot cook a fried egg !!

A typical Wetherspoons. Exterior a bit dilapidated but interior OK. Service was fine. No sauce provided with holumi burger. Told didn't come with sauce but plainly states on menu that there is sauce. All other Spoons provide sauce. Beer excellent

Typical Spoons offering in a nice old building with hotel rooms. Courtyard out front is a sun trap. Lovely for a pint in the sunshine.

Excellent stay with quality rooms and service at the bar. A massive shame that this place is shutting down.

Perfectly good food at one of the best price points in Peebles. The drink menu, beer and spirits, was phenomenal. Huge number of options and more economical than anywhere else we have found. This was our third visit and we will certainly be back.

Popped in for dinner, service was prompt and very helpful, the meals were great and took notice of allergy requirements.

The tables didn't appear to have been wiped down as the table we were at still had residue from the previous customers. The food we had was ok but on the cool side, could have been hotter. I would describe it as just about warm. The staff were polite and helpful. Disappointed.

I was disappointed by the refusal of accommodation 10 minutes before the check-in time.

If you like food, please don't come here. It was horrible. Dirty tables and when we asked te staff to clean the table. They cleaned half of the table and everything fell on the ground. The food itself was terrible to. Cold, not fresh. The salad was three leaves and thats it. I had a mixed grill. Everything was hard and almost not chewable. I never come here again.

Great food great staff . 👍🍻 No more Changed my mind . Girl on the bar by herself. Fair enough. The girl taking food to the tables is rude . Shouting a table number we never heard . But wait are they not supposed to know where they are . Also 20 min wait for drinks and it's not busy.

Very nice food. People happy to help too. Did not take long for food to come

Great breakfast at a reasonable price

Excellent service and great prices 1st class.

Excellent stay on the 17th and 18th april. Hotel was spotless the room was excellent as were the staff. Great place to stay and bar prices 2nd to none. 5*****. Gary & roni mackenzie

Good food at reasonable prices. On a nice day the garden at the rear is a lovely spot

Unusual Spoons pub. Bedrooms okay

Good food for wetherspoons and it's got a beer garden. Friendly staff too.

The staff were very friendly and the service was good. The menu also good and catered for any diet. I liked the smaller portions menu with the calories calculated for you. I would come back to the Cross Keys.

Nice atmosphere when ordering food and drinks arrived quickly through the app

Considering the prices of everywhere else nowadays, this is extremely good value for money.

Visited with my 1yr old son and wife. Ordering on the app was easy and service once order sent was quick for the drinks and wasn’t too long a wait for the food. Food arrived hot and as expected. Free refills on hot drinks is fantastic and the machine makes good coffee. Wasn’t much staff about so had to figure things out ourselves.

Good price, fast service and warm environment. Always saving us from the low standards pubs.

Everything we needed under one roof 👌 Friendly welcome and slept well and felt refreshed in the morning 👍

Ordered meals and over half an hour later we had to ask when we were getting our food. It came shortly after but was just warm and not very courteous staff. Noted that it seemed to be very short staffed as only 2 working in the bar.

Just right size of food for my mum

Cheap and good rooms for the money. Handy for town centre. Only issue is there is no hotel car park. You have to find street parking or pay to park along the roaf

Does what it says on the tin....its wetherspoons

Overnight stay, faulty heating system ruined or stay room had a damp smell and was dirty. Was a shame as the room had great potential, Good points Excellent breakfast, not included in room price Pleasant staff.

Good service. Clean. Good value.

One of the best in Scotland for real ale even the awarding breweries are trying to save it. Always a high rated experience with friendly staff. Time Wetherspoons listen to the locals now in profit and take it off the market and save it. Seems crazy to close one of the best rated in Scotland if not the best. I believe the locals can save it before it's too late

Excellent location, nice environment. You know what your getting. Great value. One of the better JDW's

Unbelievable good, staff very friendly and helpful would stay there again

Nice atmosphere, not too busy nice staff and usual food

Nice atmosphere and good value food

Excellent service, friendly staff and atmosphere. Will definitely return. Very good value for money to.

Very nice & comfortable stay. Old historical hotel, modern clean and decent rooms. The pub was fine too, enjoyed an excellent curry on the curry night which was perfect. Food was good, great value.

Lovely spoons if a bit dark, usual good prices and also accomadation at reasonable prices

Excellent pub, nice staff, reasonably priced food.

Great place, such a shame Witherspoon are shutting it down, when ever were there it's packed out.

Only place in peebles for a sit in cooked breakfast without booking at 7am. Unlimited hot drinks. Good place for laptop work

Freezing cold room and bathroom even staircases had no heat but bar area nice and food good..heating was on in room but clearly not working properly n small towel heater in bathroom useless but shower hot. Disappointing for wetherspoons at this time of year with temperature-10 outside

I'm on my own and staff are very good

Convivial atmosphere. Comfy and welcoming. Above all really professional and friendly. Also, great for a decent and affordable pint...

Didn't stay but Great food drink and service

Stayed for 3 nights. It is a Wetherspoons but I like them. Staff very helpful. Nice rooms.

Again had a meal and few drinks there good balue for money

We called in here for lunch, on looking around they were busy but due to the clever configuration of the different dining spaces it seemed quite when sat at a table. I was seated facing the beer garden area, which looked a lovely place to dine in warmer weather. After ordering our food did not take long to arrive. The food was hot and plentiful and the total bill for a large gammon meal and a chicken melt, with a pint of beer and a soft drink was £16, really good value for money. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the place looked clean and inviting. Definitely one to eat at in the future and I am happy to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Peebles any time of day.

Hard to take seriously; ordered a large mixed grill which arrived with 4 bacon instead of the usual sheep/cow/chicken I was expecting
