Eating and Drinking

Food plays a very important part of our business at the Buccleuch, whether its our fabulous breakfasts, morning coffee with home-made scones or award winning bar meals. Whilst our menus change with the seasons we make great use of our specials board which often change twice daily.

We are spoilt by the amazing range of tasty, seasonal and fresh produce that we have access to in the Scottish Borders. Here at The Buccleuch Arms our commitment to using as many local ingredients as possible not only reduces our carbon footprint, but provides our customers with wholesome and delicious food.

Local ingredients, local flavour

Owners, Billy and Rachael Hamilton both come from a farming background and strongly support the farming industry. Food is a subject close to their heart and using the freshest, seasonal and local produce is integral to their philosophy.

Wine and Beer

Complimenting the food is a carefully selected wine list featuring some of the best grape varieties from around the globe. Our bar is always fully stocked with Scottish, English and local beers, a wide array of spirits, liqueurs and of course, a gantry full of Scottish Single Malt Whisky. Keep an eye out too for our guest ales which are a big hit with the locals. Some of our regular breweries we are using include, Broughton Ales, Stewart Brewing, Timothy Taylor, Caledonian, Isle of Skye brewery, Theakstons, Marstons, Greene King. We are proud to be associated with our closest local brewery, The Borders Brewery, serving Game Bird and Foxy Blond - delicious local ales!

Service

We believe our friendly, professional and well trained staff will make your meal a comfortable and most memorable one.

Where our food comes from

Our beef, lamb and pork are sourced from J Gilmour and Shaws of Lauder. Our beef is reared and finished in the Scottish Borders.

Local butcher Craig Douglas in the village of St. Boswells supplies us with beef for our very own steak pie as well as other products. Burnside Farm Foods in Rutherford just 3 miles away supply further meat produce including poultry and game.

When it comes to fish, we have had great support from our local fishmonger in Eyemouth, D.R.Collins, one of the most noteworthy fish suppliers in the country and winners of many awards. Fish is ordered and delivered 6 days a week and we have seen our sales of fish rise dramatically this year as customers know how fresh our fish is.
