The Craw Inn

country inn serving award winning food and drink. Accomodation available

Built in the early 18th century, the Craw Inn is an attractive listed building with a beer garden to the rear. The Inn has been completely refurbished but the old charm still survives and the atmosphere is welcoming and informal. The Inn has three guest bedrooms, all with private modern facilities.

It is located just 1½ miles from the A1, the village of Auchencrow stands in peaceful countryside with the Lammermuir Hills rising to the west.

As a result The Craw Inn is a splendid tranquil retreat that exudes traditional country character and charm, whether it be from the warm glow of the log burning fire, the great food and the selection of traditional CAMRA winning cask ales. So whether you are just planning on passing by or stopping longer, The Craw Inn is an ideal base for hill walkers, golfers, and all country pursuits. There is diving at St. Abbs, fishing in the River Whiteadder and horse riding can be arranged nearby.

The Craw Inn has a good reputation for its food with the emphasis on traditional Scottish fare. The style of cooking is driven by the supply of fine local ingredients and making the most of them. The extensive, frequently changing menu includes fresh local fish and shellfish landed at Eyemouth and St. Abbs, game in season and the red meat is bred locally. Guests can enjoy full-flavoured well hung steaks and Lammermuir Spring Lamb.

Dining in the restaurant is equally relaxed and informal but the dishes are more elaborate. Guests can enjoy whole fish, cooked on the bone, moules mariniere, scallops or langoustines.

Assiette de fruits de mer is available on 48 hours notice. Fans of red meat are well catered for with excellent steaks and accompanying sauces. Chicken is prepared in a range of enticing sauces, duck is served with morels and guinea fowl is stuffed with dried fruits. There is also a vegetarian dish of the day.
