Carol's Snacks

Nestled in a little village on the way to the Borders the Horseshoe Inn is possibly one of my favorite spots to eat. We didn't stay the night here. On entry you're greeted by a friendly front of house member of staff and they get you seated promptly and give you a while to lull over the drinks menu. Meanwhile a waiter will bring you a decent and not overcrowded food menu. Having eaten here a few times I have yet to find something on the stater and mains courses that don't sate my appetite and expectations of a good Gastropub. I have to particularly recommend the scallop stater, definitely a recipe I will be trying at home. The deserts I think are the only thing that are a bit too much for me personally. The portion size for the toffee cake was sickeningly big. Its super rich and sweet but for something of that size, halved and served with a vanilla ice-cream (instead of clotted cream) would be much easier to digest. Either way super excited to go back again!!!

The bar and dining room have a really relaxed feel and are spacious. Food was excellent and reasonable priced for what is available, as is breakfast. There's a small selection of craft beers on draught and in bottle, all served by cheerful and friendly staff. The room was slightly small and with a view onto a roof but there is free off street parking directly outside the rooms ( which are not attached to the bar / restaurant ).
