eat & drink
Stepping into The Park is like stepping back in time; a mix of Victoriana, 1950’s and modern-day Britain. Locally sourced ingredients, freshly baked scones, barista coffees and a five-course tasting menu – food and drink here is all about delicious, simple pleasures - and it's divine.
Tryst at the Park
TRYST is our fine eating restaurant. The five-course tasting menu, developed by head chef, Ryan is inspired by the great Scottish larder. Guests can begin the evening with our signature 1881 Gin Elderflower cocktail before tucking into the first course; fresh langoustines. Don't worry veggies we haven't forgotten about you - Ryan has also developed a vegetarian five-course menu for you to enjoy, using local, foraged produce where possible.
Changing with the seasons and using only the best Scotland has to offer, TRYST is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a wonderful dining experience.
Why not make a weekend of it and book onto our overnight package?
Friday and Saturday only at 7:00pm.
Just so you know all Tryst bookings need to be booked one week in advance.
Ballantyne Bar
The furnishings are local, we’ve used materials from the March Street Mills to give you a sense of Peebles’ rich history in textiles. The pictures on the wall trace the old house back to its original owner Henry Ballantyne; brother of David Ballantyne, who established the Mills in 1884. Not only are the benches upholstered in tweed patchwork salvaged from the mills, but you’ll also spot some throwback keepsakes including a vintage sewing machine and a poster describing the Cotton Mills and Factories Act.
To book a table, call us on 01721 720451. Then choose option 4 followed by option 1 to speak with the restaurant team.
Monday to Friday: 12:00pm - 2:00pm and 5:30pm - 8:45pm
Saturday to Sunday: 12:30pm - 2:30pm and 5:30pm - 8:45pm
Park Bakery
Woven into Scottish history and culture, milling of a bygone era is at the heart of what we do at The Park. Inspired by all things textile, we wanted to pay homage to the Scottish flour mills by creating a tempting bakery menu. Make yourself comfortable or grab a bite to go – take your pick – we’re open all day from 10:00am. Start your day with the smell of slow-roasted, fair trade coffee.
Daily: 10:00am - 4:00pm
Brunch served daily: 10:00am - 12:00pm

Little ones we haven’t forgotten about you, we’ve got all of your favourites too.
The Grill Room
Our Head Chef, Grant, has been busily preparing your feast. Expect familiar, filling favourites, and he’s a dab hand at adding interesting twists to the plate and palette.
