There is a great pub quiz held here weekly which is very popular so get there early to get a seat. I love the beer garden here which I didnt know existed until this year! To give me credit you have to go through the door to the mens toilets to get to it (dont worry there is a separate door then leading to the loo!) but the garden is quite enclosed and has plenty of shade for people like me who are so pale they are almost see through! Its also handy if it rains and you cant get a table back inside. The Salmon also has a small function suite upstairs which is good for more low key events like anniversary parties. There is also a lovely lunch menu here which I would definately recommend. HOWEVER I cant give the Salmon anymore than a 3star because although there is nothing wrong with the place, there isnt much sparkle to it either. Definately worth a visit though.

Looking above the bar in here you will see numerous awards for pub of the year, which you will probably be miffed about. This bar is not bad but its nothing special either. There is a pool table through the back and karaoke regularly. This pub can be very quiet throughout the week but is packed to the brim at weekends. Going to the toilet if you are female feels a bit odd at first as the ladies loos are upstairs entered by a staircase right across the room (you have to squeeze by the karaoke machine on some nights!). This pub is pretty small and the decor is a bit shabby but the drinks arent expensive and you can see if the clubs are open from the window. Id advise this pub for an older audience and anyone who isnt too fussy.

At the other end of the pub there is an extensive dining area and the pub does seem heavily geared towards dining. We had just popped in for a beer and there was Black Sheep and Old Speckled Hen on both of which were very pleasant.

The bar has gone through several refurbishments in the last few years which they obviously didnt like and has now settled for couches at the front with some basic tables and chairs, while to the back you will find booth seats and high tables. This is fine if you are in for a drink, but it can be quite awkward eating dinner at the high tables. You will also find that people queue at the bar here which is a phenomenon I have never seen anywhere else in the world! Hunters Hall is a good place for a quick or cheap meal and the perfect start to a night out in Galashiels. There is a huge mix of different people in here and this is one of the few Wetherspoons which plays music. You can also catch big matches here as well.

I opted for a Thai red curry with jasmine rice, and was really impressed... one of the nicest Thai curries I have had (outside of a Thai restaurant in a long time). My other half went for a vegetarian option from the Daily Specials board - wild mushroom, spinach, and caramelised onion crepe, with ratatouille and fondant potato. This was presented beautifully and was so tasty. Definitely one of the best vegetarian options I have tried in a while. As for desserts, I would have liked to have seen a lighter, fruit-based option, so decided against a dessert. However, my dining companions all ordered desserts and were suitably impressed. If you are looking for somewhere to have a special meal, luck or evening, I don't think you could go wrong with The Cobbles, Kelso.
