A Taste of The Scottish Borders
Local Sourcing
Here at The Blackadder, we believe in the power of supporting local. Our kitchen is a celebration of Borders heritage, featuring seasonal produce from our neighbours. Every meal is a testament to the quality and flavour of the Scottish Borders countryside.
"A lovely and friendly environment right on the main road. The owner greeted us. A family friendly place. The food was delicious, especially the appetizers and steak pie"

Rural Pub of the Year, as voted by people who'd know.
The Countryside Alliance Awards are the "rural Oscars" — nineteen years of recognising the pubs, shops and producers that rural communities actually rely on, judged by the public and a panel of rural experts. In 2026 the Blackadder was named Scotland's Champion Pub.
It means the same fires, the same kitchen and the same team you've always known — just with a trophy on the bar and a few more people finding their way to Greenlaw.
Noted in the Scottish Parliament. In May 2026 MSPs lodged a motion at Holyrood congratulating the Blackadder Bar & Restaurant on being named Champion Pub — a rare honour for a local village.
