"Absolutely terrible! We were partly to blame for not recognizing the warning signs and continuing to order at this 'restaurant', despite all indications that it would be a bad experience. Even the lady at the lovely B&B where we were staying tried to warn us. When we mentioned we had booked a table at the Queens Head for dinner, she looked surprised and mentioned that if we didn't like anything on the menu, they could always make us sausage and chips. That should have been warning sign number one! We had booked a table based on the promise of 'quality' food and a fine dining experience, but when we arrived, the waitress seemed uninterested, didn't acknowledge our booking, and didn't even ask for our name. She directed us to a table with a chair practically on top of a fire hydrant and asked if it would be suitable. Warning sign number two! The laminated menu on our table had photos of cheap 'sharing nibble plates' for £2.50, and the rest of the menu consisted mainly of dirty fries and nachos. Warning sign number three! The waitress was clueless about the menu and unhelpful when we asked questions. When we asked about the chicken curry, she simply said it was 'just chicken' and when asked about side dishes, she just said 'vegetables'. When we asked what kind of vegetables, she gave us a confused shrug and said, 'they are just vegetables!' Warning sign number four! The carrot and coriander soup was the best dish we had, but the Salmon and Dill Fish cake starter was obviously a cheap frozen fish cake fried to death with a grey, fishless middle. The Vegetable Curry was flavorless and served so hot it was almost boiling, with a side of dry white rice. The Chicken Breast was cooked decently but served on slightly raw potato stacks. Most of the food seemed reheated. To top it off, the prices were astronomical - £10.95 for the fish cake starter, £23.95 for the chicken, and £17.95 for the curry - all steep prices for such poor quality food. We didn't stay for dessert. The bill came to nearly £70 for 2 courses and 2 drinks, which was the final insult. Not one waitress checked on our food, and when I left half of my main course untouched, she abruptly asked if I was finished and cleared our plates. Don't be fooled by the website promising a top-quality experience - steer clear of this place."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was during my visit to this restaurant. They have 2 hand pumps serving Taylor's Landlord beer, which was fine. The Golden Wonder crisps they offer include the delicious 'pickled onion' flavor, along with the smallest pickled eggs I've ever seen. There was a TV playing a football game, but thankfully it was at a low volume. The restaurant is conveniently located near the main Castle Gate parking area, with plenty of parking available. The price per person ranges from £1 to £10, and the service and atmosphere both received a rating of 3. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience."

"My wife and I eat at Audela perhaps 2 or 3 times a year and without exception it 's always fantastic. Yes, it 's probably the most expensive place to eat in Berwick, but not only is it a proper 'occasion ' to eat there, the food is fabulously prepared, presented and served. The interior of the restaurant is also just lovely and it has a nice vibe plus, it 's dog friendly. Ingredients are fresh and locally sourced, while the drinks menu features a good range of wine, fizz, spirits and beer. The vegetables in particular are always great. The portion sizes are perfectly pitched such that three courses are just perfect without feeling you 've over indulged. I 'm vegetarian and while the menu is limited the choices are always delicious the twice baked soufflé is fantastic plus it 's always worth having a chat to see if Craig, the chef can rustle something else up for you. And should the treacle tart be on the desert menu, just make sure you leave some space for it. It 's the best thing ever. In fact start with the treacle tart and work backwards : Finally, you 've got The Barrels and The Curfew just a few metres away should you fancy a good pint plus a walk around the walls to burn it all off."

"Food: 10/10 Price: Delivery time: super speedy I have both visited this establishment in person and had deliveries and in both cases have thoroughly enjoyed the meals that I have received. This time round, I had a delivery of their new special box, which features a cheeseburger, mini mozzarella sticks, halloumi fries, a generous portion of fries and several dips to use, which was fantastic and definitely a feast enough for two people. This was as well as the deep fried Mars bar which was lightly dusted in powdered sugar and coupled with crushed Oreos and Biscoff spread. Amazing. Would happily just eat a few portions of the Mars bars alone! Absolutely amazing, would definitely recommend to anyone in the area or those travelling and wanting some good food to eat."

"now I rarely use 5 stars, as I believe there is always room for improvement. amran looks a very inconceivable place from the outside and once inside it looks its typical Indian restaurant. but I have to ignore all this, as eating is sooo lovely. both my partner and I have agreed that it is the best Indian curry we had. most Indian restaurants I have a lot of choices on the menu, but really, they can share this number by at least three (chicken, lamb and king prawn are all the same). but here were the choices different from any other Indian restaurant I met. service good, cleanliness good and many nearby parking spaces. if I'm ever in berwick, that'll be my goto restaurant!"
