The Ettrick Bar — Restaurant in Scotland

What a lovely place to eat at! The food and the atmosphere at the Ettrick is really brilliant. The staff made our evening particularly special as they were so warm, friendly and made us feel genuinely welcome. The waitress who served us in particular was just so nice and made us feel like nothing was a bother at all. When we arrived we were seated straight away in a cosy wee corner, the atmosphere felt so cool and relaxed.

For those who haven’t been, the pub is split into a bar and a lounge through the wall serving food. They offer a full Indian menu as well as a menu of European and pub classics. My partner and I both ordered off the Indian menu and were very happy with our meal, everything arrived quickly despite it being a busy Friday night in the restaurant. I particularly loved my cauliflower pakora that our waitress had recommended, it was absolutely delicious! Portion size was also very generous.

Thank you for a lovely dinner, it’s been a highlight in our annual leave week and we can’t wait to come...

Hadn't been here in many years. Went here for dinner with a friend and clearly stated I was Gluten free and the staff went to check what was suitable for me. I was told the steak pie was one of the options I picked this, they made it brought it out with a puff pastry and I was like this is Gluten Free too. I ate a chip and one of the stew bits. He came back a minute later and told me the chef said it was wheat flour. The chef didn't know clearly that wheat flour has gluten in it and the rest of the menu that well as he mainly dealt with the Indian Menu. Allergens are a big thing now and have been for sometime, this is not a joke I am lucky I am intolerant but some who isn't could of been in hospital or died. I find this error not acceptable now. The waiter staff were very apologetic and friendly and I ordered something else from the Indian Menu which was delicious. Personally probably won't go back just from this experience...

Stopped by here for some lunch on our way home from loch Lomond and we're very pleasantly surprised, staff were welcoming and attentive, the decor was lovely with a great atmosphere and was very clean throughout.

We had our meal inside and then sat in the beer garden for a few drinks afterwards to enjoy the sunshine, all of which was perfect.

We opted for the lunchtime special with me having the lentil soup and burger and my partner having battered mushrooms and fish and chips. Everything was served very promptly, all had very good portions for the money paid and was delicious.

Would 100% recommend and would definitely go back if we are passing this area again, lovely experience...
