Reviews Summary
Coltman's Kitchen, Deli & Bar is highly praised for its delicious and cleverly crafted food, featuring fresh, local Scottish produce.

"A nice café with snacks and delicious cakes. It seems we didn’t have the best communication when ordering, but the waiter immediately helped us out and was very friendly. This allowed us to enjoy our coffee and the great cake under the pergola in beautiful weather. The bathrooms are clean and they provide little fabric towels instead of paper towels (great!). If you’re in this charming little town, we highly recommend the Hidden Garden."

"We went here for breakfast whilst staying in Peebles, the coffee and breakfast options were excellent. We also got takeaway food for lunch, the fennel and pork sausage roll was exceptional, as was the ham hock, jalapeno and edam sandwich, which was possibly the best takeaway sandwich I've had (and I've had a lot of them!). So good, I'll be back tomorrow for another, hopefully!!"

Where to eat
With views over the River Tweed to the beautiful Peeblesshire countryside beyond, it is the perfect setting in which to relax and enjoy fabulous food, freshly prepared with passion and imagination by our Head chef, Kenny Coltman. Using locally sourced, fresh Scottish produce whenever possible, our menu respects the seasons - as it always should.
The Tweed & Scottish Borders walking holiday
In Peebles, we were lucky to be there on one of the weekend nights that Coltman’s Kitchen is open for dinner. We had a truly outstanding meal there the second night. Choices for meals are quite limited in Innerleithen and the provided meal at Caddon View did not provide any options (if you’re a vegetarian, be sure they know that in advance).
