Decor of the restaurant was lovely, but felt the tables were quite crammed into the restaurant, food was good, staff were friendly, would like to see menu’s in the lodges as it was hard to order a takeaway, when we phoned the restaurant they told us what we could over the phone?!

Great food drink and service.

The Carvery is amazing on a Sunday. You need to book as really busy. Service good and staff always friendly and helpful.

You only get the table for 1 1/2 hours which is ridiculous, they could at least make it 2 hours. We wanted to buy another bottle of wine but didn’t have enough time to drink it. The ticket system is a bit iffy although the Carvery food itself was okay. We were visitors not campers so will probably not go back as there are so many nicer restaurants in the Borders.

Great little place to get food. Well priced and food quality all around. Accessible even to those outside the caravan park.Parking: Free parking just to the rear of the restaurant, lots of space but often very busy.Wheelchair accessibility: Entire building is on one level with double door entrance for easy access.

Decided to book here for a Sat night to have a few drinks & a meal. Lovely decorated and busy. Staff warm & welcoming. Got our drinks and order taken quickly. We had starters of Haggis Bon Bons & Buffalo Chicken Wings which were very tasty & good portion size. Unfortunately that’s where the positives end. We had a ver long wait until our main courses. My husband had the steak pie with mash. Plenty of tender meat in the steak pie but he said the mash was the worst he had every tasted. Cold & lumpy! I had the seafood linguine which was meant to be with a cream & white wine sauce. There was about 3 inches of oil in the bottom of the dish which was very off putting. No evidence of cream and the seafood was rubbery and very chewy! I was not able to identify some of the seafood & there was a few hard shells in it also. Was really looking forward to this meal so very disappointing when it’s on our doorstep. Another person complained about their burger being cold while we were there. Probably won’t be back unfortunately.

Friendly service and good food. For my taste the beef was a bit too well done and I was limited to one Yorkshire pudding.

For a caravan site restaurant this is gorgeous, all the trees and greenery adorned with flowers are gorgeous! The carvery on a Sunday is amazing, such a lot of choice, all fresh nothing lying too long everything looked so nice! The staff were all lovely chatty and friendly and happy!! We ate in here a couple of times during our stay, the fish and chips were also lovely, batter on my fish was yummy! So crispy!

The facility is nice, clean and modern, good bar and the menu is appealing. Unfortunately the final product is lacking. We arrived 30 mins early for our booked table. We were eventually given a couple of tables for a party of 8. It’s was unfortunate because the table we were given was right at the bar so it was loud and noisy. Since there was a group of 8 of us we had to pre order our food a few days in advance, which we thought was a bit strange. I chose the buffalo wings for starters which were very good. The meat came off the bone and the flavour was great. It had a little kick but not too spicy. Others got haggis bon bons which I think they enjoyed. A couple of the party shared garlic pizza bread which didn’t look all that great. For mains I got the ribeye cooked to medium rare. My mother in-law also got a ribeye but asked for well done. My father in-law got the sirloin (medium). Firstly there wasn’t much difference between the steaks. I wasn’t convinced mines was actually a ribeye. I asked a young waitress what it was and she was like “uhhh”, clearly not having a clue. Sadly, my steak was cooked more on the medium/well done side. I also found that it wasn’t very thick and it was tasteless. I smothered the steak in the peppercorn sauce to try and give it some flavour. Sadly the sauce wasn’t creamy in the slightest. It was more like a gravy with peppercorns through it. The chips were triple cooked and were fluffy inside, although there were a few break your teeth ones which were obviously overcooked. My wife got a burger which she enjoyed. The chips that came with hers were skinny ones and pretty dull to be honest. My sister-in law got the salmon for her main which I think she liked. My brother in-law got the fish and chips and my grandad got the scampi and chips. Portions were quite big and I think they enjoyed it. My niece got a pizza. Boyo, this was one of the worst pizzas I’ve seen. Extremely soft and soggy. Hardly cooked on the undercarriage and it didn’t taste all that great. It reminded me of a pizza you would get at a chippy but worse. For dessert I go the rice pudding which was very good. It wasn’t mushy, just the way I like it. My wife got the sticky toffee pudding which she thought was burnt. We had a mixture of drinks between us. My father in-law had a glass of read wine and he had noticed that the wine had stained the glass. Manager was nice and gave him a free drink. Now the bill was very interesting. When we first got it, luckily we had eagle-eyed Megan who was able to spot that there were several items on the bill that were added (e.g. pineapple juice, cups of tea, additional cokes and a few other things). Very strange. Staff quickly resolved this. The following day we went back for the carvery. We got better seats this time. The carvery itself is reasonably priced at around £14. My niece is a bit of a fussy eater and wasn’t keen on a carvery but the waitress offered to give her chips and chicken nuggets from the kids menu which we accepted. The carvery, like much of the food, was a mix bag. The gammon, turkey and pie was delicious. It had great flavour and very tender. Unfortunately, the roast potatoes were terrible. They seemed very stale and not very appetising. I didn’t really enjoy the stuffing balls and the veg was ok. When went to pay, again we noticed the bill was wrong. We were charged for 2x children’s chicken nuggets and chips. The waitress that took our orders said that’s she told us that child portions are small and that we agreed to a double portion. This was a complete lie. She said nothing about a double portion. We disputed this and the waitress tried to defend herself and was quite rude. Thankfully, the manager stepped in and amended the order and the waitress dropped her device and stormed off in a huff. Ok she may have been angry at us for calling her out but that’s no way to act. I think she needs to work on her customer service a little but she will learn from this experience. Anyway, not the best place to go for food but I am sure they’ll improve.

The wings are amazing! Lovely food but great service from Chelsea and Kirsty. Will deffo be back! Kids loved the park and the treats waffles from the treat van.Kid-friendliness: Park right outside to keep the kiddies entertained before and after food.

We were a party of 12 for a Sunday carvery. We were seated through in the back area which wasn't an issue, however it took 30 minutes to get everyone a drink with our carvery tickets being presented to us at 1pm, we were instructed to go up 6 at a time, which again wasn't a problem however once the second party of 6 were able to go for their meal there was 3 other tables in-front of them! No complains were given for the standard of the carvery which was excellent, the major issue was after. At 1:45 our plates were cleared and dessert menus were handed out, at 1:45 we were quickly told our table was only available to us until 2pm. Quickly ordering the desserts we were told they had to be in takeaway boxes and could be eaten outside or in the marquee. Once the desserts arrived we were not allowed any cutlery to eat them even though we were all seated outside with another round of drinks. The most shocking discovery was that we were not offered any discount and were charged £6.95 per dessert (restaurant prices) to sit outside with no plates or cutlery! We are very disappointed with the service and it spoilt the birthday celebration we were trying to have. We have contacted them since and have not had a reply Very poor customer service

Four of us went for lunch and when we walked in we stood for a couple of minutes before anyone spoke to us, then were shown to a table. We ordered drinks and then our main courses. (No starters). They brought two of our mains, (nachos) but apologised that they had been put through their system as starters, and it would be a while before they could make the other two meals. They were a burger and a salmon salad. We then waited 15 minutes before the other two meals arrived. We told the waitress that the service was pretty poor and she apologised. She then came back and told us that we could have sweets and would not be charged for them. All in all a disappointing experience both from the service point of view and the fact that the food was fairly mediocre. I could have understood up to a point if the place had been really busy, but there were only a couple of other tables occupied at the time.

As a carvery goes, this was excellent. No hesitation whatsoever with a 5/5 rating. We visited Lilliardsedge on Father’s Day, the place holding a bit of nostalgia for me as I was involved in some architectural work for the chalets and the caravan park, many years ago. Although we had pre-booked, there was a bit of confusion with our seating plan, ending in us splitting between two booths of six. To be honest, this was completely forgotten about once the food was on my plate. The staff were apologetic as well. Honestly, the best selection i’ve been witness to in relation to a Sunday Roast (all hot and fresh). To start the ‘filling of the plate’, three meats (carved by the Chef, decent portions) and then the rest is up to you. A few items to mention - Macaroni and Cheese, massive Stuffing Balls, various types of Mash, Pie, Creamed Leeks, three Gravy types, gigantic Yorkies ….. The restaurant easily excelled other well known carvery businesses. As I say, i’ve only mentioned a few options above. For me, there is nothing worse than being ‘short-changed’ on a Sunday Roast. None of this ‘well presented’ stuff or minimalistic approaches - when you go out for this type of meal, you want to eat big. This restaurant offered that, and then some. Price wise, it was around £15.00 for the plate (free top-ups but trimmings only). I didn’t eat again until well later in the day, so it was great value for money. I’ll very much compare all future carvery visits against Lilliardsedge - it’ll take something special to beat it!
