The Forresters Restaurant sb in Scottish Borders

Came here for dinner and the food was excellent as always and the owners are very friendly and welcoming would definitely recommend to visitors when they stay in Jedburgh

I cannot praise the chef enough, had 'Scottish trash'. It was absolutely fabulous. The steak in the dish was cooked to perfection, haggis beautiful, I can honestly say it was one of the best meals I've had for a very long time. Please do not pass it by! Awesome.

I won't lie - the moment you walk into the restaurant are, it looks like a run down tired bar, with bar carpets and a dated appearance, but do NOT let this put you off. We travelled down for an event last night and popped in before it started. I worried it was going to be cheap style normal pub fare and I was so wrong. In fact, I will even go as far as to say that I would make the 2 and a half hour round trip in the future solely to eat the foot. I had the BBQ burger - with layer after layer, I had no chance of getting my mouth around it. I enjoyed every moment of it, couldn't finish it but oh how I tried. Dessert was a lot simpler but tasty all the same. Staff were friendly. Will definitely be back.

Not glamorous but filling good food. Very welcoming staff. Might be an age thing but every song playing in the background was brilliant. Would definitely return.

This restaurant is unbelievably good, The choice on the menu was extensive, when the hot food arrived it was cooked to perfection and was faultless, one of the best meals ive had in a long time, the bar manager and manageress were really friendly and accommodating, we will definitely be returning here very soon, defo 10 out of 10.

Amazing value for money I had the surf and turf Mrs c had the lamb the place is a little tired but the food and the couple who run it far outweigh the decor but I would advise to pre book a table

What a find!! Behind a rather unprepossessing exterior we had gin and tonics better than anything we’d had in Edinburgh and steaks which were plump and cooked superbly. Lovely banter with the couple running the place- we were walking the St Cuthbert Way and this was our stand out meal of the whole trip!!!

We were recommended by the b&b to eat here & we weren’t disappointed. Excellent choice of food cooked 2 perfection & friendly staff. Al 8 of us had different meals & they were all hot & were served 2gether. We will return.

We were in Jedburgh for a few days and trust me it was a struggle to find a place to eat as most restaurants were either fully booked or closed! Anyway after attempting to book twice and failed due to being fully booked we managed to get a booking on the Monday night as we had recommendations from local shop owners (as well as our B&B people) to go and eat at the Forresters! And they were right! The owners are delightful, excellent customer service, and mostly, the food is really to die for! So good we went two nights in a row!! There is a wide selection of interesting burgers, amazing street food and excellent steak / grill! I had a steak the first night and burger the next, both loaded with salad and sides. And the prices are so reasonable!! Definitely excellent price for the quality of the food you have! I am a foodie and I have a big appetite! And even I could not order the dessert after my main! We will definitely go back next time we will be in Jedburgh and we will definitely book in advance!

Day 2 of our St Cuthbert's Way walk and we were in need of a good meal. And that is exactly what we got! My 2 companions both cleared their plates but the Rabbie Burger beat me. To confuse us "foreigners" the place also goes by the name "Belter's Bar". I hope I've got that right. A very welcoming pub with a nice area - more of a Restaurant area - upstairs. Invited to stay near the bar until the table was ready although we could have gone straight to our table. Advantage of staying by the bar is we were able to get an instant refill of our beer, of which there was a choice and well kept. The menu listed various burgers, along with many other options, which were substantial and nice with decent chips, onion rings and homemade coleslaw. In case you are wondering what a Rabbie burger is :- Along with the main meat it also contains Haggis, Neeps and Tatties. Went here a few years ago with family including grandchildren and family dog. And will be going again if I'm in, or passing through, Jedburgh

What a wonderful find! Amazing menu- an astonishing array of fascinating street food and imaginative burgers. Food is extremely well prepared and cooked and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

Very friendly, welcoming and relaxed pub that allowed us to dine on Sunday as a family & with our dog at very short notice. Our dog decided to be out of character and be a tad grumpy and noisy and not once were we made to feel unwelcome. Food was delicious and service impeccable. Thank you!

First class food and service, being gluten free never a problem Lorraine is so helpful, great pub. We've had many fabulous ngts in with friend . Special in the circumstances we are in with covid19 , lorraine and Gordon are providing us with fabulous food , thanku .

Dieses Restaurant wurde uns von unseren Gastgebern des B&B Airenlea empfohlen. Auch wenn es auf den ersten Eindruck etwas einfach aussieht, die Küche ist eine Wucht. Es gibt tolle Burger und sehr empfehlenswert sind die Steaks. Sehr freundliche Bedienung.

Fantastic wee find! Lorraine is an excellent chef I had a burger which was reallly tasty, my hubby had the sizzler which he was delighted with and my son had the honey chicken which he loved! Will Definitely return when in the area x

Such a great atmosphere, Gordon and Lorraine are fantastic hosts! We were visiting from Newcastle and stumbled across this Gem! The food is second to none, amazing value and quality! It'll be the first stop if we visit again!!

Had previously called into another place but only one vegetarian option on menu.Found this place was vegetarian friendly.Staff were warm and friendly,food great.We were staying in Jedburgh for 3 nights so we are there.If we're in Jedburgh again it'll be our first of call for a meal.Delicious 😋

Warm friendly welcome from the owners. The menu covers all tastes and gluten free and vegetarian options are available. You will not leave feeling hungry as the portions are big. I would definitely recommend you visit here when in town. I will be back again

This restaurant was fantastic! I would recommend to anyone who was in town. Very wide selection of food and drinks which all make your mouth water. Great service and wonderful atmosphere all for rather reasonable prices! Will definitely be back again!

good food well presented large portions .we had a really good choice of specials as well as the menu. belters bar downstairs good atmosphere.

Wow our first port of call on arriving in Jedburgh and was greeted like a local. Blown away by the extensive menu with specialty burgers and so much choice. Can’t wait to return after a days exploring the area!

publicans - lovely, and so so friendly. Dog friendly - very, scamp even got a biccy Food - best burger I’ve ever eaten, and as a big meat eater I’ve eaten a lot of burgers (even beat my uncles who’s a very good chef, don’t tell him). Cuppa tea - served in a mug like it should be! Pub itself - it’s a proper pub, warm, welcoming and relaxing. Will be back and will be spreading the word.

Ate here tonight after reviewing two or three other places in the town. This eating establishment (also known as Belters Bar) serves very good quality pub food at excellent prices. Although probably known more for its burger selection, my other half and I had a menu special of two steaks (mine sirloin his rib eye) plus a bottle of wine for £29. It exceeded our expectations - the service was incredibly quick and the quality and quantity of the food made it extremely good value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and would happily eat here again! We had a lovely chat too with the owner before leaving - thank you for a lovely evening!

Great burgers and great beer. Fancied haggis so tried the Scottie burger which was very tasty. A choice of inclusive sides was a nice touch. Make sure you're hungry.

On holiday in our camper van with a dog (for the first time) we realised that eating out was not as easy with her in tow! This pub was recommended at the site we were staying on. The food is prepared freshly for each order, in 15 minute slots, so make sure you order as soon as you arrive, and be prepared to wait a little while. However, it is well worth it; the choice of burgers is huge, extremely good value for money and so delicious. Highly recommended!

Warm friendly quaint with the most delicious food. Highly recommend this venue on A68, Pathhead Scotland. Flawless.

Nos sentimos atraídos a este lugar ya que satisfacer a los vegetarianos y veganos, así como ofrecer opciones para celiacos amable lo que es encomiable. Nuestras hamburguesas eran sustanciales, el servicio fue rápido y fue una buena variedad. Mi queja principal era que es en verdad corto de verduras. Los lados con las hamburguesas son en su mayoría fritos patatas fritas, patatas fritas, stick rizado queso mozzarella, macaroni, aunque hay cuscús y col. Algunos vegetales fritos imaginativa no haría una gran diferencia. Sin embargo, una cosa es segura, no van a dejar con hambre.

Popped in this evening after a little drive, place was fully booked but staff member managed to fit us in. After being sitted we were met by the nicest waitress ever who dealt with our every need and was super friendly. Food was unreal...i had...

Popped into this little pub/restaurant after our Ramblers Club for a bite to eat with friends. Was a pleasure to find they had Gluten Free Starters and Meals on their menu. Staff were lovely and friendly would certainly be back...☺

Amazing food and really welcoming staff . Group of 12 came and we all really enjoyed it . Would definitely recommend .

Tuvimos una cena maravillosa aquí hoy, buena comida y personal amable. Sin duda comer aquí. Opciones para todos en el menú, y los niños

Paramos en Jedburgh en el camino a Edimburgo y decidimos probar el restaurante después de leer las críticas. Mi hijo a la lactosa pero nada era una molestia para ellos, incluso ofreciendo a cambio de métodos de cocina para acomodar a él. Nos instalamos en...

El menú es principalmente creativa tipos de hamburguesas. En lo particular no me gusta hamburguesas, así que pedí nachos y alas de búfalo. Ambos eran buenos pero los nachos tenía un extraño salsa de chili dulce, en vez de salsa y guacamole crema agria o...

Paramos en para la cena y nos sentimos muy incómodos. Nos dijeron que para sentarse en cualquier lugar. Después nos instalamos en una mesa cómodamente a otro miembro del personal de forma grosera nos dijo que necesitamos movernos a una pequeña mesa. Nos sentamos en la nueva Mesa (entre la puerta de la cocina y el pasillo, no arco un lugar cómodo) durante quince minutos con nadie viene a esperar de nosotros, así que la única interacción de decirnos para moverse. Finalmente llegamos justo a la izquierda.

Lots of choice of burger - all well presented and good size. Coped with our large group OK although only one person cooking and one serving. Everyone enjoyed their own choice. Main eating area is by the upstairs bar but drinks had to be purchased downstairs.

Not a huge number of places to choose from in Jedburgh but this place was fine. The decor is a bit 70s. The lanlord was very friendly and the sevice was swift and efficient. Beer was good. We had the steak and chips for 2 with a bottle of red which was good value for money. The pool table downstairs was good fun.

Het restaurant was klein en simpel. Het eten was eenvoudig maar oke. Een ruime keus uit hamburgers. Niet duur. Het personeel was vriendelijk maar niet professioneel.

Italian chicken burger was fantastic. Also the fire cracker chicken burger. Rather big portions for not so big eaters, the chips were amazing, Lovely service definately be back :-)

Dads 82nd birthday, decided to try the Belters, 7 of us all tried different burgers, what a choice, fantastic food and great service. Excellent value for money.A very enjoyable evening. Will be returning to try a different burger!

Polite friendly staff, warm cosy atmosphere. The food was absolutely beautiful, steak cooked to perfection!

15 of us visited this little gem on Saturday. We didn't book but we're in no hurry. The menu was brilliant and I've never deliberated for so long. The children's food was served first and they all enjoyed what they had. Then ours was served all together and I have to say the best burger, home made coleslaw and chips I have ever had absolutely delicious... Will be back to try the rest of the menu first class

Not outstanding from the outside but as time was getting on we decided to chance it, a pleasent suprise was to be found inside. After being take upstairs to a small but pleasent resaurant the welcoming staff seated us took drinks order and allowed us to peruse the menu. A lot of burgers but also a grill menu, and a tapas menu spoilt us for choice. Both choosing the Bistro Special we dined well but unfortunately were unable to manage dessert. My companion is back up here in March for a few days and has already decided where his meals will be taken.

I had read the reviews and seen the Tripadvisor certificate in the window, but the reality didn't match expectations as it was much better than that. 32 kind of burgers, including vegetarians, superb and homemade chips (better than Heston's) and generous helpings together with a very welcoming host and atmosphere. We went twice in one week and the second time we took the dog. He was welcome too!

Everything was excellent. All my friend, 4 of us are vegetarian and this hit the spot. Lots of choices for us and meat eaters too. Finally found a place that is inclusive!

Small restaurant and a small kitchen the chef has a great meat supplier. We had the 60 day aged steak, it melted in the mouth, we also had the beef kebabs, the rump beef again was top quality. They also do a large range of inventive/creative burgers, we saw some come out of the kitchen, they looked fantastic. You won't be disappointed or hungry at this gem of a restaurant.

Ignore the unprepossessing exterior and give it a go. This traditional pub with a history dating back to 1855 is comfortable and very welcoming but even more impressive is the food. When we were there the menu specialised in burgers (would you believe 25 different types) and grills, though I understand they do tapas at the weekend.Initially, I wasn't sure about the menu as I try to eat healthily and tend not to choose burgers. However, they were excellent, hand made with succulent, locally sourced meat, on great buns and with a range of mouthwatering toppings and accompaniments. A choice of sides completed the dish. The presentation exceeded our expectations and the taste was even better.The service was efficient and friendly and the price reflected great value for money.

If you like HUGE hamburgers this is the place to go. The selection of burgers is extensive and the results are fantastic. The value is great and the host is friendly. The portions are large and you will leave full and contented.

I have only had tapas here but the owners are the best! Cooked for us when they weren't really supposed to be open for food and the tapas were great! Enjoyed the conversation too and interesting story of your life in Spain. Thank you for making our night.

I have to say that I am very disappointed in Pat V's review of the forresters tapas last Saturday. I was in the restaurant at the same time as her and her partner, I was with my husband, daughter and son -in - law, we all ordered 4 tapas dishes each which were all excellant, the waitress was was very polite, and we even had a dessert. niether myself or any of my party found any fault with the food or service, I will most certainly be going back to their restuarant. Perhaps miss V is in the habit of going into resyaurants to complain just so she and her partner can get a free meal, as I gather from her comment that her partner ate almost all of his meal then had a nerve to complain.

We arrived in town on a Sunday evening with most restaurants closed. B&B suggested this spot. Find the restaurant up two separate flights of stairs, first taking you from Belters Bar, then walk through another casual lounge with bar to a second flight of stairs to the small restaurant above. Spanish tapas in Scotland's Border? Yep, and quite good, too! Owners lived in Spain five years working in the hospitality business, and their talent shows in quality flavors. Don't let the old style pub setting take you off-course.

This was altogether a very disappointing culinary experience. The eating area was shabby and more like a transport cafe than a restaurant. I ordered 3 tapas dishes and none of them even remotely resembled the tapas I have had before. There was no evidence of any properly cooked food: boquerones, which tasted dreadful, a fish dish which was described as monkfish on the menu, but did not taste like it, and the 'home made salad' which was unseasoned boiled rice with a few bits of chopped green pepper, raw white onion and some black olives. My partner's dish of bbq pulled pork, although edible,tasted as if put together with a jar of shop bought bbq sauce. The service was however polite and once I had made my feelings known, the owner, to his credit, responded graciously by not charging us for anything. Belter's Bar may well be burger heaven, but anyone not interested in burgers and who enjoys good food, should give it a wide berth.

Lovely friendly atmosphere my wife had ribs and struggled to finish them I had a rare steak think it was still mooing as was so fresh and tasty great hosts too

To be perfectly honest from outside you wouldn't expect much re the food as the photo's look like something from the 1980's.Sorry!! A wee update might help because the food (burgers) i think a choice of 24 are the best i have had and the chips are superb.From Glasgow there is now so many burger joints you could choke a horse!! oops. Anyway nevermind the designer burger at £12 pound a pop get down to Jedburgh for a true meaty burger oh and also a bun/roll that doesn't fall apart after the 2nd bite!!!

Had tapas here before but they have a new menu so just had to give it a try well yummy and the service excellent as always

Recommended by Amanda at Airenlea B&B following our first stage (19miles) walk of the St Cuthbert's Way - The Forrester's definitely hit the spot. An extensive menu of American Diner style food of outstanding quality, with wonderful hosts, great service and excellent value. This was good quality, wholesome food with an imaginative interpretation & presentation by a talented cook intent on making diners welcome and leaving replenished. Highly recommended!

great variety of foodTapas is amazingLovely atmosphere although stairs for wheelchair usersFamily friendlyDog friendlyNear to town centre

Prices were very reasonable and some of the menu choices we made were excellent, whilst others missed the mark and were not authentically Spanish. There were a few minor problems with one dish being very bland and another having a strong taste of raw garlic but overall it was acceptable for the amount charged. Serving staff were friendly though there were some gaps in their knowledge of the food and drinks on offer.

Normally go for the burgers but decided to try the pulled pork tonight , brilliant not something I would normally go for but it was amazing.

Friends we were with for the weekend had read a review about this restaurant in the Sunday post newspaper. Because they offered a" tapas menu" and also a "from the grill menu" it was the perfect choice for us. Have to say to ignore the outside of the place and also the entrance. They were a wee bit off putting. But the food was amazing. The tapas menu was very good and we were spoiled for choice. Both the men had steak and they were very happy with theirs also. The staff were also very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Also very nice to chat to the chef who visited the tables to ask if everything was ok. Will definitely recommend and be back x

The staff were happy to see us and served us very well.The Venison on haggis was splendid as was the duck chosen by my wife. The choice of wines and beers was good and everything was very reasonably priced We would return

Great food at a sensible price and friendlyBurgers are amazing, and local beers complementIf you visit Jedburgh this is the place to stop

A quaint restaurant over a bar that sells the most amazing burgers outside the USA. We have travelled and worked around the world and for a small restaurant it packs a huge menu with great value for money. I would advise that you book as they cater for around 15 and it does get booked easily, though you can eat in the Belters Bar if the restaurant is full. We both had burgers and and I can highly recommend them both, the meat feast burger and the pulled pork burger with huge portions of sides were excellent. The waitress was very friendly and the service great, they also do Tapas for those that enjoy Spanish cuisine. This is a hidden gem and a find not expected in a small town. I would highly recommend anyone try the food and be prepared to be surprised.

This was our first visit and we were impressed. My partner had the chilli burger which he really enjoyed, he had extras chips and coleslaw. I had the 4 tapas for £14.50 which was good value the portions were generous and I especially enjoyed the lamb meatballs in a spicy tomato sauce. Great value for money.

I visited the forresters in April and decided to try some tapas and really enjoyed it... Will definitely be back for more! :)

After seeing the write up in the Sunday Post mag I decided to give it a go .....my son and I had a good selection of tapas everything was freshly made and tasted lovely. Will be back more

Made very welcome and enjoyed a nice meal. We were so full we could not manage a sweet. Saving that for another time.

The Forrester's have just received a great review in one of the Sunday nationals and they thoughrouly deserve it.

Went here for the tapas. Prawns were OK, lemon and garlic chicken was not, meatballs (sweet and sour?) were just wrong. Perhaps the trick is to stick to burgers. For tapas - avoid.

Finally managed to pop into the Forresters to sample their burgers and WOW!! very very yummy - even my mum managed to clear her plate (minus the bun) and she never does that! Huge selection of different burgers which makes choosing a problem but well worth the wait. Dogs are also allowed into the bar area while you eat (as opposed to the posher restaurant bit) which makes it a perfect spot to refuel after a good walk with your four legged friend.Only down side is it isn't easily accessible if you have mobility difficulties - three steps up to the main door (then I think it was down to the loos and up to the restaurant) but mum managed it with her 2 knees and 1 hip replacement although she didn't risk a trip to the loos)I will certainly be going back when my pals are in town ;-)

High quality meals at a great price with the most comprehensive choice of burgers I have ever seen.The Belters Bar which is part of he restaurant has a nice friendly atmosphere with a very friendly landlord and landlady and very good quality beers.

Went as a group of 11 on a work night out. Booked the tapas night and was advised buffet style was best for a large group. Brill choice. Food was amazing, plenty of it and tried a few new things. Sharing made it more sociable and fun. Chef came out at the end to make sure we enjoyed it which was a nice touch. Will definately be back.

We went to the Forresters last night. We decided beforehand that we would have Tapas, It was a lare Christmas Night Out, with the Jedburgh Out of School Club, There were 9 of us. Super meal, lovely friendly staff. They even provided Xmas Crackers for us. We chose lots of different dishes. All had a great night and enjoyed the food.Would definately recommend.

The Forrester was recommended by my b&b, so I thought I would try it for my my birthday meal on Halloween. It was a warm and welcoming place and my steak was lovely + the drinks . I would quite comfortably eat and drink in here again.

I really liked this place. The staff were lovely and the food was great. Unusual setting and the music was bizarre but we liked its charm. Quite a few bits to the menu which confused us a little but people ordered burgers, steaks and tapas from our group and everyone enjoyed the meal. Huge portions which managed to fill the guys amazingly. Really tasty. One thing i would advise is that if you have allergies you should ask to talk to the chef as my allergies weren't passed on to the kitchen so a few extra items i didn't know were included arrived on my plate. My friends ate them for me but I had to eat around part of my meal.

The forresters is the restaurant above the belters has the same menu as pub but also offers tapas at the weekend well if we thought the burgers were good the tapas was even better the selection was outstanding must admit loved the meatballs and the honey chicken. Will be back

In Jedburgh for the weekend and needing a meal on Saturday night my wife spotted a poster advertising a steak meal and a glass of wine of beer for £10.95 at The Forresters. Thinking it might be crowded and noisy we tried it any way and it was excellent. We were directed upstairs from the bar to the restaurant and told we would have to wait because two parties had just got in before us. In fact we've had to wait longer elsewhere without an apology. The food when it came was excellent - steak, onion rings, salad and lovely fat chips (but not greasy). My wife had a good sized glass of white and I had a pint of Bellhaven's Best bitter. Really good value - the same elsewhere in Jedburgh the night before cost us £17.95 for an equally good if not slightly inferior steak and about £3 for the beer/wine! The restaurant is small but comfortable and we would definitely go back. The waitress apologized for the table being laid without steak knives and fetched some for us without us asking. She also said if the steak was not done to our satisfaction they would send it back to the kitchen! A jug of water was also provided on request for no charge.

lovely lovely food, burgers are really good & plenty to choose from, staff very nice & friendly, nice place for a chat with friends & a wee drink.

Cosy restaurant in back street pub (don't let this put you off). The food was excellent and real value for money. Hosts very welcoming. Will definitely be back.

My dad and I have been here many times for food. We normally opt for the burgers which are superb.....but the smell of the tapas food is always immense

Our landlady wasn't sure about recommending this place but we assured her afterwards that she could safely do so. The food was lovely and my partner said it was one of the best meals he's ever had - and this takes some doing as we have rarely had a bad meal. They have a good menu and also do tapas which looked and smelt delicious, and the locals were enjoying these which we took to be a good sign. We only had to wait a short time for a table which was acceptable as we hadn't booked and they were pretty busy. Can thoroughly recommend trying here, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Jedburgh ....mid evening ... mid week ... start of season. We weren't sure what to expect as the town was rather quiet, so this was an unexpected find. We ate in the bar as the restaurant wasn't yet open and the menu had an amazing range of burgers. We then found they specialised in Spanish Tapas, so I had a Spanish burger and opted for extra Spanish sides. It was as good as any tapas meal I've had, and at a ridiculously low price, about £8.00. The proprietors had previous run a restaurant in Spain, and are passionate about Spanish food. I just wished I lived nearer and could eat there regularly. Try it - the menu has something for everyone.

Initially I was not sure about the pub - it was a small downstairs room. But the welcome was great, there was an open fire, and a free computer to use (not that we did- chatting to the friendly locals was far more enjoyable). The Forresters specialise in Burgers - the one I had with haggis and a cheese topping was fantastic. The owners have previously run a tapas bar in Spain, and also specialise in Tapas, with a lengthy menu. Put aside any preconceptions, and have a great evening!

Service was excellent pleasant and staff were very nice. The food was amazing couldnt fault it we had chips and a burger but it was beautifully cooked and the chips were to die for. Will definately go back.

Really friendly staff, good service, great value for money. We visited out of season so had restaurant to ourselves except one other couple. Would definitely return :0)

I do live in Jedburgh but really don't go out much, May not look much from out side, but the food is excellent and the staff/owners are so welcoming, happy to talk or leave you in peace, 2* Bill 5*food I don't leave reviews as a norm but this really needed to be shouted out " FAB" xxxxx

This meal was booked day after a meal in Belters Bar that is in same building. This was a tapas meal. We didn't expect to find tapas in Jedburgh but the family who run the place had recently returned from a lengthy residency in Spain. The food was brilliant all hand made and prepared fresh per order. We couldn't fault it and the price put other tapas places to shame. If we ever go to Jedburgh again we will certainly be going to The Forresters again.

Wonderful authentic Tapas + some Scottish versions make up a wide choice menu. 4 tapas for £12.50 plus a special discount of 10% on all food and drink after 6pm made it a real bargain. Excellent well chosen range of Spanish wines at good prices.

Service is great. Food was amazing. Great place to eat. Staff very friendly. Restaruant is lovely. Would recommend coming to the forresters bar and restaruant

Staff really friendly small dainty cosy bar restaurant great food totally awesome chicken burger and bucket of chips just fab, filling. service excellent would highly recommend

Tiny room serving tapas with burgers including lamb burger with haggis pakora! Tapas menu looked great but we opted for the burgers. Very friendly and fun.

We ate here on a Sunday night. The welcome from the owner was friendly; locals in the downstairs bar were equally friendly and chatty.We both ate steaks (good steaks) with salad. Drinks: a Scottish stout; and a Californian Merlot. Very tender and juicy steaks, drinks were fine,We left cheerful, and well fed!

My husband and I came here to try tapas as we weren't quite sure what it was and fancied a wee change, the menu had lots of choices which all sounded very tasty. We were served our dishes by a very polite and helpfull waitress who also helped us make our choices, it all looked amazing and tasted very fresh with lots of different flavours with a nice basked of fresh bread to soak up the sauces and oils. Great value for money, lovely atmosphere, looking forward to going again.

We had a drink and a tapas in the Belters Bar adjoining the Forresters. Our host was in fine form, with stories of his past in Spain and of his family who lived there and loved it. They brought back some of the culinary traditions of Spain, and we so enjoyed them.

Paramos aqui por acaso. A parte superior do restaurante estava vazia e era muito estranha, então decidimos descer e comer na área do pub. O atendimento foi extremamente simpático e os hambúrgueres estavam ótimos e eram enormes!

Outstanding burger fills a hungry person up with no room to spare and at an amazing price.Pub grub at its finest.

We had dinner there recently because of strong trip advisor ratings. Sorry. We don't agree.The menu was a bit confusing and I had a hard time deciding what I would order. That didn't keep the wait person from coming to our table repeatedly to take our order, acting a bit annoyed when it was obvious we hadn't decided. Instead of assisting us and answering any questions, she said she would return. It was early in the evening and we were the only ones in the restaurant. Recommendations and assistance would have been greatly appreciated.My husband ordered the cheeseburger. It was so difficult to negotiate eating, it made him angry. It tasted fine he said, but he hates to struggle in public. I had two starters which were OK but I had to get up and walk to where the serving person was to request assistance with condiments. No one checked in with us to see if we wanted another brew or anything. Very poor service.After I ordered, I continued to peruse the menu and saw some things I wished I had ordered. Oh well....but there won't be a next time.

The service was excellent. We actually ordered food from the restaurant, which is on the 3rd floor. But we preferred to sit on the first floor, and the owner ran up and down to bring our utensils and food to us. He never showed any unhappiness, just eagerness for us to taste the food. We didn't try the tapas, but still found the food great. The bill came to £35 pounds for the 4 of us, which we thought was very reasonable.

After reading some other reviews and taking advice from the Tourist Centre we thought we would give the place a try. The layout was really strange and when we were shown to the restaurant there was only one other couple eating. The staff were pleasant but it did feel a little uncomfortable. The menu looked good, we decided not to have Tapas but choose from the main menu. The food was ok but more the type of food you would expect in a 2 for £10 pub so when my main cost £10.50 I thought it represented really poor value for money. Would not go back.

A most enjoyable evening meal. As local Jed residents, we will plan to bring all our future visitors here. An excellent atmosphere and a family run business. The wide variety of different meals and flavours should suit everyone. We will certainly be returning again.MandA
