The best restaurants in Hawick and Hermitage Scottish Borders Lowlands

Staff very friendly offered vegetarian option for breakfast and it was fantastic more than I could eat and even my husband struggled

This place is AMAZING. Their chicken wings are the best I've ever tasted. The staff are so courteous and friendly. Service was fast & efficient and the food was all cooked to perfection. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity. I can really recommend them, and we will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing food, staff 1st class and the decor is stunning. 100% recommend!!

Fantastic. 2.35 for 4 cookies is a bargain and they were delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone.

We had heard really good things about The Night Safe and decided to book a table for lunch, especially as Friday is always busy in Hawick. The welcome, the ambiance and the choices on the Light Bite menu were, all, amazing. It’s a good idea to discuss your choices with the staff who explained the multi cultural dishes, eloquently. We settled on 4 of the light bites (not quite as light as we expected, with very generous portions). We chose, Haggis Bon Bon’s, Panko prawns, Calamari and Bao Buns with chicken in a buffalo sauce. We shared, and, the Bao Buns with chicken were particularly good and we ordered another portion, to share. ALL of the dishes were absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and very much enjoyed. We’re really looking forward to our next visit.

Recent family evening meal , Fantastic .

Absolutely lovely food and nice staff

My partner and I were visiting Hawick for a little break and my parents came to surprise me. The 4 of us enjoyed all our mains, we had all together, the haddock and chips, lasagne, steak and ale pie. Portion sizes were great, everything was fresh and tasted great. I had haggis bon bons to start along with my dad and we both thought the haggis was bland and the mystery sauce in which they are served on top of was very unexpected and I’d definitely swap that out with a sweet chilli chutney or something. I’d have a different starter next time but that aside I very much enjoyed the rest of the food and so did everyone else. Service was fantastic, the restaurant itself is very homely, rustic/country esq. I felt very comfortable and it was a great dining experience. Sticky toffee pudding was great too.

A warm, friendly welcome walking into a tastefully decorated hotel was nice. The room was spacious, well decorated and immaculate, as was the rest of the hotel. Evening meal was plentiful and well cooked in a pleasant dining room. Breakfast had plenty of options and very tasty. The staff really make sure you are well looked after in this lovely hotel. Mansfield house certainly lives up to its 4 star rating and we would happily stay here again.

Very friendly for families with children! But food was just amazing, very tasty and a generous portion! We will be back there!

Didn't eat here. Just had a quick rest and a conforting cuppa tea. But the owner was super friendly and I think kindness deserves an award nowadays, so, On this notice a very positive review from me.

An accidental find when we’d missed lunch opening hours elsewhere. Needed something Coeliac-friendly, and DD did so much more! Could be in Prague, Krakow, or ….well, anywhere bookish and bohemian, DD is quirky but not kitsch. Coffee is good, mezze is great, and cake quality is very very good…and almost everything is gluten-fee (I could share a mezze platter with my gluten-loving g wife. All the cakes except one were gf). Slightly hidden away off the end of the High St, prices are decent, and its a peaceful space you could step into briefly or waste an afternoon in. Really liked the staff too! Perfect excuse for a wee trip from Edinburgh.

What a wee gem! Lovely, friendly and welcoming, food nice and hot, freshly prepared, a great little find!! Just travelling through sadly but would definitely come again if we are by this way!

Stopped in for some lunch today. Friendly service with a good and varied choice of menu. Offers half portions of meals if more suitable. Brilliant value. Hot and cold options available. Felt like the teapot was bottomless, think it was 3 cupfuls in total!
