Cramped bar with only one real ale on - Stewarts IPA. Staff and locals very friendly . Horseracing is clearly a passion of the pub as the regulars discussed in great detail the action from Carlisle and Southwell being shown on both large TVs.

The previous description for the layout of the pub is still accurate but the one ale on offer was Stewart Brewery IPA which was in excellent form. Definitely worth a visit.

Small, fairly basic, bar at the front with a few items of rustic furniture and plenty of locals standing at (and more-or-less blocking) the counter. Another small room for diners at the front, and a larger restaurant area further back. Just one real ale on - Deuchars IPA - but that was OK.

The Crown hotel is a wee gem, i have visted here on and off for a good few years, myself and my wife stumbled across it 1 afternoon and have not looked back, the craic is great especially on a friday tea-time. Its no wonder the legendary Oliver Reed visited here so often when he was still with us. The staff are friendly and make you right at home along with the regulars who love a bit banter with new faces in the town.The rooms have recently been renovated and the power showers amazin for shakin out the cobwebs from your weery heed frae the night before! the food is excellent, especially the famous fresh fish and chips!! we first came in on a friday afternoon for a couple and ended up leavin on the tuesday!! more pubs should be like this!! family run and full o banter!!

This wee pub in Peebles is a fascinating place. They have real ale as well as a fine selection of local and international beers. The atmosphere is quite pleasant and the hosts friendly. They also serve food in the resturant that is of good quality and price. There's a link to the late Oliver Reed who used to frequent this spot while making a film at the nearby Neidpath Castle.

6th April 07, my wife, daughter and myself had the misfortune to call into the Crown Hotel for a meal. We were told to sit anywhere as none of the tables were ready. We waited for service and nothing was happening but at least we entertained by a rather tall gentleman who doubled as a waiter. Meanwhile i got a cloth and cleaned the table myself as the staff just kept dissapearing. Eventually we got the order in and had a drink whilst waiting. Specifically ordering no ice and pointing this out on the drinks arrival the ice was uncermoniously thrown out a side door which then would not close due to being fouled by electric cables hanging loose outside.(Health and Safety) Yes the meal was good but this was interupted by dogs barking at one of the tables,jack russels i think (Hygene). We waited for a sweet, finally my wife got the attention of the tall commedian and asked him could we have a sweet, his answer was "No" pointing out my daughter had not eaten her vegetables. We thought he was go to get menues but he again disapeared never to return. At this point we had had enough i paid for what we had eaten and left.

Undergoing renovation. Small bar with a friendly atmosphere. Oliver Reed was a regular here while filming The Bruce. His chair is still in the bar.
