The best restaurants in Scottish Borders Lowlands

Easily the worst chinese meal ever bought. Most of it went in the bin.

Breakfast was very good and so cheap compared to other places. Vegan definitely recommended..

Stay clear it’s absolutely rank… worst Chinese I have ever had … black rice .. meat tuff as old boots , curry tasteless and like water … wouldn’t feed it to my dog

Been here twice. Food's not bad, but not great in my opinion. A bit of a jack of all trades, master of none. A good variety of food but I think that's the problem. Friendly service though

The staff were fantastic, service was great and the food was fresh tasty and good quality.

We ordered a take away while having a weekend away, daughter collected it and the 4 of us said it was one of the best Chinese meals we’ve had in years, everything was so fresh and tasty

Awful pre prepared food worst pizza I've had in age's. A supermarket one is better and half the cost

Great friendly place to stay for a few

Donner meat was great but not to impressed with the chicken pakora probally one of the worst I've ever had

I ordered from here online, after ordering I saw a few bad reviews and got nervous but food showed up 20 minutes after placing the order, delivery man was friendly, and the food was amazing and still hot very filling and tasty

What an amazing little place, the food and drinks were amazing. First time I had ever been in the lovely little place, and I felt like I had known them for years. Coffee ♥️, cake ♥️👌.. The staff we so friendly! A credit to the lovely town.

Helpful friendly staff,drinks hot instead warm .

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.

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?

Nothing vegetarian on the menu (really?! in 2024?!) so had to ask, and was given two choices. Opted for veggie lasagne with garlic bread. Worst veggie lasagne I’ve ever had. Half cooked veggies in tomato water, no bechamel (or even cheese) sauce and a thick layer of chewy mozzarella on top. Garlic bread was a slice of white toast with chunks of garlic on top. Would not recommend.
