点评:We were heading south of the border and stopped off in Coldstream for some lunch during their local Civic Week in August 2024.
I lived in the town for several years a long time ago and it was interesting to have a look around prior to popping into The Besom for something to eat. This is a pub which had a good reputation for food back in the day and recent reports seemed to suggest that this had been maintained.
The surroundings are “homely” looking with a nod to the Coldstream Guards, there were a reasonable amount of people to provide a little atmosphere and we were given a friendly welcome.
The menu has a standard selection to choose from however we were only looking for a snack so both ordered Bacon & Brie Paninis (£5.40 each). These were served in good time and were accompanied with a salad garnish, coleslaw and some crisps. We found the bacon filling a bit on the fatty side but once trimmed by ourselves the paninis were otherwise good.
By the time we had added a ½ pint of beer (£2.50) and an Edinburgh G & T (£5.40) our bill came to £18.70 which we considered very good value for money.
Toilets were typically bar-like and functional.
翻译:我们正前往边境以南,在 2024 年 8 月当地公民周期间在科尔德斯特里姆停下来吃午饭。
很久以前,我在这个镇上住了好几年,在去 The Besom 吃点东西之前,先四处看看是很有趣的。这是一家在当时以美食闻名的酒吧,最近的报道似乎表明这种声誉一直保持着。
周围环境看起来很“温馨”,带有科尔德斯特里姆卫队的风格,有相当多的人营造了一点氛围,我们受到了友好的欢迎。
菜单上有标准的选择,但我们只想吃点小吃,所以都点了培根和布里干酪帕尼尼(每份 5.40 英镑)。这些食物及时送达,并配有沙拉配菜、凉拌卷心菜和一些薯片。我们发现培根有点肥,但自己修剪后,帕尼尼还是不错的。
当我们加上半品脱啤酒(2.50 英镑)和一杯爱丁堡 G&T(5.40 英镑)后,我们的账单达到了 18.70 英镑,我们认为这个价格非常划算。
厕所通常像酒吧一样,功能齐全。
