George Abbotsford - Menu

Popped in for a drink. Nice atmosphere and staff so lovely I'm thinking of staying over in the future. Ended up extending this quick pit stop to stay for a lovely meal . Excellent service.

We found ourselves having lunch here after seeing all the cafes were busy. I wouldn’t normally go to a pub for lunch but I was glad we came here as I had a lovely Caesar salad and my husband had a beef burger. The staff were friendly and I would definitely return

During our weeklong vacation in Melrose, we dined at this restaurant four times because the diverse menu catered to our group's varying tastes. The meals were delicious and made with care, offering generous portions. The staff was friendly and the prices were fair. View menu

The lady who served us was very friendly and helpful. We were made to feel very welcome, even with our crying baby! Me my mam and girlfriend all had the Angus beef burger which we all enjoyed. Would love to go back and stay the night to try out the little reading snug on a cold winter night.

Despite the unassuming exterior, the interior of this restaurant is quite charming. However, the bathrooms could use some updating. During our holiday, we dined here twice and both times the food and service were excellent. I highly recommend trying the Balmoral chicken and the Haggis, neeps, and tatties - both dishes were delicious.

My family and I had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. It was nice to see that they had a children's menu and smaller portions available. The food tasted homemade, even the chicken nuggets seemed freshly battered rather than pre-packaged. My kids can't stop raving about the delicious chocolate brownie. We will definitely be returning.

Dog friendly hotel bar, our room was large, very clean, comfortable bed, good shower etc. very good Scottish breakfast, all the staff we met were very welcoming, polite friendly. The only slightly negative I would say is that the hotel is a bit dated, especially the bedroom doors and the paintwork along the corridors could do with some TLC

Hotel is tired, with decor pretty shabby. Service was just about okay with very little chat from the staff and this morning at breakfast casual dressed waitresses serving. My room was clean with a great shower and comfortable bed, the drawer unit front was loose and hanging. Breakfast was the worst I've had in a long time, a full Scottish with sausage and black pudding that had obviously been cooked long ago as they were rock hard like leather. The bacon was like a burnt bit of meat that was a disgrace to put on a plate as was the mushrooms, they looked black and I expect another example of precooked in advance. I visit Melrose regularly and sorry but this has been my worst breakfast.

Food was terrible, cocktails rank and there was no gas for the outdoor heater, so it was really cold. Friend's birthday meal didn't go to plan and our original booking was cancelled due to a kitchen problem, so we were directed here for food. On arrival, the place was deserted and no one appeared at reception to greet us. No buzzer or bell was available to call for attention either. We wandered through and were directed to the deserted outdoor seating area. Menus arrived but we had to ask for drinks menu. Cocktails were ordered and when my mojito arrived I discovered it was the worst I've ever tasted. Sole ingredients were, wilted sprig of uncrushed mint, white rum and watery soda water. It...
