The best restaurants serving British food in Lowlands

Our 1st trip of the year to Peebles. We were really looking forward to our lunch here in the beer garden. However, we were told that no food could be served out there as only 2 staff on duty. An idea, instead of a person having to come out and take orders, why not just let people order at the bar as how it was in the past. Also, the menu has changed dramatically. I am wondering if the ownership has changed again since, wetherspoons days. We were there last year and it was so much better. In the end we had a takeaway from Greggs. Such a shame, really ruined our day.

We love visiting here when we stay at nearby colania dene, always a pleasure to see christopher and bev the owner and her hubby Didnt have food this time but always nice previous visits Be back next holiday 😊 Lisa, stephen, newcastle

Both had the fish and chips. It came quickly and was nicely cooked. The cheesecake dessert was delicious. Had two glasses of wine which was reasonably priced. The service throughout was very friendly. Overall good value and a good bar meal. We will come back.

Close to Jedburgh Centre it was certainly worth a stop and there were some good deals. There is ample parking and the staff were very friendly.

Popped in for breakfast. 1 vegetarian and 1 Scottish. Plenty choices, great portions, tasty maple syrup pancakes and great service. Maybe a bit pricey at almost £20 but the food was good.

It's pretty much style over substance and as has been said by others the food is an after thought and I'm sure the Instagramers love it, food is poor and staff disorganised the menu is a joke. Another biege food joint, in a region where some of the best fish in the world is landed. Only deep fried fish here.

Recently came here for coffee and pastry. Service was great, pastrie was good but coffee was terrible. Perfectly located right near the highway near the shopping center.

All the usual tourist stuff, with the accompanying prices, they do a nice range of sausage and the very illusive white pudding, this is very hard to get in England.

This is a traditional old fashioned transport caff, not cafe, a caff. It is a place for Lorry Drivers and long distance travel drivers to nip in and have a tea, coffee, and a roll during their tacho-breaks and let their eyes readjust whilst their truck sits in the layby outside. The decor and menu are based around how these caffs all used to be in the old days of the 1970s. I don't know if it is a recreation, or an actual genuine survivor, but it has it nailed. Keep your expectations in that mode, and try and park your car at the far end of the layby to leave the spaces by the door for the trucks, tankers, and occasional coach which need the extra space and run up, and you'll be fine.

It's always a pleasant surprise to find a pub with a good menu using local ingredients! We ate well, the service was friendly. The pub has a large garden. This must be one of the best pubs for miles in any direction! My wife left her sunglasses behind, but Tim, the landlord, was super-helpful, finding them and posting them on. We will definitely go there again.

Excellent coffee and scone at a very reasonable price. Slightly let down by the toilet which needs upgrading , otherwise 5 stars.

First stay at the Traquir Arms Hotel and restaurant and can definitely say it won’t be the last. I had a single room on the top floor the room was clean and nicely furnished and there was plenty of tea and coffee and lots of mini milk pots ( most places leave you a couple which normally only allows for one cup of coffee) Everywhere around the hotel and restaurants is clean and tastefully decorated and the staff are really friendly. I had an evening meal and breakfast and the food choices were excellent, well presented and super tasty.

Ticks all boxes. Friendly staff, clean and fast. No issues, used multiple times

Just bought a fish supper. Got it home two mins later and it’s already cold and the fish is so dry. Obviously been cooked ages ago. WAS starving - not anymore. You need to cook food fresh, folks. Sad.
