New Year, New Chef, New Menus

We are pleased to welcome to our team our new Head Chef, John McKenzie who has a wealth of experience over the past 22 years including Michelin starred and AA rosetted restaurants.
John has worked closely with our existing team and together they have created some new Menus to see us into 2010. These include our new Breakfast Menu which is available from 8am - 12 Noon daily and has some terrific offers as well as delicious choices.

‘The Melrose Bistro’ is in comfortable surroundings where our staff will ensure that you will be looked after throughout your  meal. You can also drop in after enjoying one of the many speciality coffees we have on offer or even something a little stronger as we are licensed to sell alcohol!

The opening of ‘The Melrose Bistro’ coincided with our launch of ‘The Melrose Scone’ which has proven very popular with locals and visitors alike. The combination of treacle, cheese and raisin scones replicate the nearby Eildon hills which are visible from the Bistro. The Black of the treacle and the Yellow of the cheese symbolise the colours of Melrose RFC and the raisins are the shape of the rugby balls.

Vegetarian dishes and specific dietary requirements are all catered for as well as a fantastic children’s menu including lunch boxes with toys to keep the youngsters happy.
