After spending too much money at the Gretna outlet village, we headed to the Station Inn for a great value lunch.
Started with a large field mushroom topped with haggis and local Lockerbie Cheddar. Delicious.
For my main I had the steak burger which was also tasty, the highlight being the side of handmade chunky chips.
You don't see those available in enough places nowadays!
The landlord Chris is a friendly fella and explained to us the lengths he goes to in order to select the best locally available potatoes.
A couple of pints of Black Sheep ale made the meal complete.
Others in my party had the Steak Pie (I sneaked a mouthful and was glad I did. The steak was fall apart in your mouth tender).
The Chicken and Leek pie was well received with a very generous filling.
Portions were satisfying all round with three large slices of thick cut Ham served with egg and those chips again for the final diner in our group.
Only one had dessert, which was a Pavlova polished off very quickly.
It's not what you'd call a country pub really, but the food and ales are excellent and the host offers a very warm welcome.
I'll no doubt make a return visit when I'm next passing. read more
