"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."

"This restaurant was recommended as a place to satisfy a foodie. We were a mixed party of omnivores and veggies. As it was New Year's day the meal was a taster menu comprising of fifteen? courses if you included the amuse bouches. Not only were both meaty and veggie menus interesting they were also beautifully executed. We were perfectly attended to with neither too much hosting nor feeling chivvied along to eat and leave. We even loved the crockery; joking that it felt like a ceramic fetish night. All in all it was pretty perfect as a (birthday) meal can go. Thanks to Sarah and the team."

"We were unsure where to eat in Berwick upon tweed with my fussy children, and lock stock and burgers was a great choice despite there being a reduced menu, there was plenty of choice for all and they were very accommodating. We had the pbj burger which is peanut butter and jelly which was really flavoursome, fresh patty and great taste overall. The Chinese fries where also a must try, and the fried Mars bar was so good! Friendly service too."

"We were in Berwick overnight and looked at several places to eat before deciding to try here .It had been several years since we had eaten in an Indian restaurant and we were certainly not disappointed .The restaurant was lovely inside and the staff were welcoming and friendly .We had pakoras to start with then my husband had lamb biryani and I had butter chicken .The meat in both dishes was very tender and both meals were delicious .We also had cheese naan bread and a peshwari naan bread which if that had been all we had we would have been delighted .The peshwari naan was so delicious we wished we had ordered two .The cost of thd meal was very reasonable for the delicious food. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for an Indian meal ."

"This was the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to receive the worst burger and chips I have ever seen. It was like a meal for a dog, and the customer service was the worst I have ever experienced. The manager didn't even come to speak to me when I complained. I had to ask for a refund as the experience made me sick and angry. I will not be returning to this place. It was a complete disappointment."
