The Crown & Thistle
Rockcliffe, CarlisleWe visited The Crown & Thistle as a family of four to celebrate my 40th birthday, and honestly, we couldn't fault a single thing. From the moment we arrived, the service was friendly and welcoming, and the food exceeded all our expectations. The portion sizes were much bigger than expected, offering fantastic value for money, and every meal was cooked to perfection. Even the children's lunches were exceptional, which is something that's often overlooked elsewhere. The standout for us was the sticky toffee pudding. It was absolutely incredible and quite possibly the best we've ever had! The whole experience was superb from start to finish, and it made my birthday celebration really special. We were all so impressed that we'll definitely be making this one of our regular places to eat. Highly recommended to anyone looking for outstanding food, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere!

Gretna Chase Hotel
The Gretna Chase Hotel, GretnaWe stayed here with our wedding guests as a part of our wedding package through Gretna Wedding Bureau. I must admit I was getting a bit worried as I saw some less than stellar reviews from other guests prior to our stay….but, I needn’t have worried. We had a fantastic stay. The staff were brilliant, the rooms were lovely and the food was delicious. We had a great time over two days. The wedding meal was set up really well, everybody enjoyed their food with guests saying it was the nicest wedding meal they’ve had. Would absolutely recommend the anybody ?

The Gretna Inn
121 Annan Road, GretnaWe stop here every single time we travel up or down from Scotland, ive been coming here for years and I can honestly say I've never has a bad meal, the steak pie is 100% worth the diversion, the beef is so tender you literally just show it a knife and it falls apart and theres plenty of it! del, the blonde server/bar manager is fantastic shes been there for years and you always get her the same way, she manages the regulars through in the lounge with quick wit abd just the right amount of authority that the lounge never impacts the dining experience, shes an absolute credit to the place that being said the service here is always fantastic all the staff are great its just that she stands out time and time again,
We will never not stop here and will always recommend it, definitely worth trying!

Gretna Hall Hotel
Gretna Green, GretnaAbout our 5th time staying here and it's a lovely hotel, peaceful and ideal for a short break and just to relax after a trip to the shopping outlet or the blacksmith shops etc. our room was stunning and very spacious, and the bed was a queen size and very comfortable. We had evening dinner here and we noticed there was a change in the menu with the usual steak pie taken off which was a disappointment for myself. We just settled for a main course which I chose the steakhouse burger with fries and garnish while my wife chose zeppole( deep fried pizza dough) .. which is a starter and chips for her main. Upon it's arrival it looked lovely but as I cut into my first chip it was very greasy and oily, yes I know their deep fried but it felt like it was straight from fryer to plate and wasn't drained. They were also soft, no crunch and felt soggy as you saw the grease leaking out. The burger wasn't homemade or fresh( possible made earlier but frozen) and after a few bites I wasn't enjoying it at all. My wife also said her meal was oily and greasy.. unlike before where we enjoyed our meal,as she loved the shin of beef last time but not on the menu this time. So we both felt this time that the food for our dinner was a major let down and next time we may stay here but eat elsewhere once we check their menu!

Sark Services
109 Central Ave, GretnaFish and chips were one of the best me and my partner have had .
Service was okay but we went to the other side where the sweets were and there was a girl serving us wearing no gloves just picking the sweets with her hands so I think in the future gloves need to be worn for picking sweets or use a tong as it's not very hygienic .

Blacksmiths Restaurant
4 Bensmoor Rd, Gretna Green, GretnaDamain and myself got married on the 9/8/25, the day was perfect, we had a small intimate wedding with only 12 close family members in the the blacksmiths, the staff where amazing took every bit if stress and worry away from moment we turned up, they took control off everything, which allowed us to enjoy every single moment and just enjoy and embrace each other, if your thinking about booking, don't think about it, just do it ❤️ I promise you you'll not regret it❤️

Smiths at Gretna Green Hotel
B7076, Smiths at, Hotel, Gretna Green, GretnaMy granddaughter had her wedding at smiths hotel on fri 23rd oct, from start to finish the service was terrible, chicken was cold, veg was raw, tables were cluttered with glasses, and i mean roughly 40 empty dirty glasses per table,1 person on the bar and to say wot a gem he was is an understatement, he tried his very best, when we complained they brought another person in for a short time, three bars and only one open,what a dissapointment for a bride on her special day

The Cadbury Shop
Unit 46 Gateway Outlet, GretnaIt's ok, not as good value as it used to be.. but what is anymore.
Prices are cheaper for some products in the supermarkets.
Place was clean and tidy and the staff were friendly.
The shop has a large quantity of products on shelfs but not the best selection.
Kid-friendliness: There is chocolate.......
Wheelchair accessibility: All level access entry's

Subway
Gateway, Unit 57 Gretna Gateway, GretnaVisited this store Saturday 1st November around 2.30pm, and got to say that the 3 members of staff were a brilliant team, very busy but they were well organised, polite and friendly to every customer. I ordered a vegan sandwich and they did everything correct in regards to allergies. A great Subway experience!
