   Excellent service and generally delicious food. Obviously a very popular place with the ambience very welcoming. All but one of the dishes served were top class. The only disappointment was the roast beef which was decidedly stringy and tough.

   High quality local produce, beautifully cooked. Friendly service. We had spring rolls & scotch egg to start, pork loin & beef for mains and affogato & cheese to finish. All delicious.

   An excellent Sunday lunch birthday celebration at the cosy Allanton Inn. Attentive staff, tasty food and great value. Highly recommended.

   As usual the food was delicious and if a good portion size. Friendly and attentive staff. The Allenton Inn is our favourite place to eat.

   Allanton Inn is outstanding in every respect: the welcome, quality of food, drink, service, atmosphere, friendliness...everything! Great that - unlike so many other local inns - it was open on New Year's Day.....a really special day for us too as it was my wife's birthday. On the several occasions we've been to Allanton in recent years (with friends too), we've never been disappointed. If you find yourself in the Scottish / English borders, within travelling distance of Allanton, and you want to partake of what their inn offers, as described above, honestly.....don't even consider going anywhere else! Yes, it really is that excellent.

    We have been here many times and always enjoy the whole experience. Today’s initial greeting on arrival was very friendly with my request for a glass of Prosecco being exceeded by the barmans suggestion of cremant instead. It was so delicious I had a second glass! The Christmas menu was lovely, a great choice, all beautifully cooked, well presented with super efficient service. My only criticism, as such, was the white forest meringue roulade which unfortunately had on overbearing taste of the berries, so much so that I couldn’t taste the white chocolate sauce or pistachio crumb dressing. For a dessert lover like me this was a bit of a disappointment but otherwise it was a great meal.
