First of we couldn't find the entrance as very poorly signposted. When we entered through the bar we were seated....intimidate setting, lacking atmosphere however. We stuck to the standard menu as the tapas was too difficult to understand....we have been used to a other tapas restraurants a set selection which takes away from choosing every individual course....perfect if your not...

A Sunday night driving through the borders, later than expected, with two small hungry children and a dog... where to stop? After a search through trip advisor we phoned the Forresters, and an hour later arrived to a warm welcome from friendly, chatty hosts. As it was a quiet Sunday out of season we ate in the small bar, with... More

We had a fantastic meal in a very cosy atmosphere. Very friendly and efficient staff, we didn't need to wait long for superb steak and chicken/black pudding. We would highly recommend this restaurant and pub to anybody wanting an enjoyable experience in a great setting. A wee gem.

Who would have thought that a small restaurant in such a town as Jedburgh would delight all with authentic Spanish Tapas, the food is fantastic and the owners have created a little bit of Spain in a small town. The restaurant also serves typical Scottish fare using local produce. The bar meals are also excellent with more traditional fare on... More

A hidden gem . Owners- Lorraine & Gordon Elliot are obviously passionate about genuine Spanish food and this was reflected in the preparation/presentation of dishes. The flavours and variety of food, evoked memories of Sunny Spain. I hope the locals waken up to this excellent restaurant and give it the support it deserves. It's unusual to find an independently-owned Spanish... More
