"Good food, good beer, very busy but food served hot and with good grace. My choice was not available so I chose vegetarian lasagne, but what arrived certainly wasn 't vegetarian. Was very nice, but I suspect a proper vegetarian would have been very vocal at the error. All on all, very good, food was plentiful and good value. Good surroundings too without any suggestion of haste in departing. Very enjoyable meal. Definitely come again. Update: many years on, doesn 't change. Still very good value, no further vegetarian upsets, bingo nights VERY popular. I 'm not a regular but always very satisfied with going there. Only issue isn 't their fault, but no longer dog friendly (guide dogs etc excepted). It 's a national decision, managers having no discretion. Was sitting outside another branch on the pavement (Edinburgh Waverley) and was told to leave!! Just being aware. All in all a decent place to stop for an evening of conviviality. Hawick is small and having a 'Spoons ' here is a welcome asset."
