Coltman's Kitchen, Deli & Bar
About
Coltman’s Kitchen, Deli & Bar invites guests into one of Peebles’ most historic buildings, a charm‑filled space that dates back to 1711. Set on the high street, the restaurant boasts sweeping views over the River Tweed and the picturesque countryside beyond, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed lunch, a delightful afternoon tea or a cosy dinner by the fire. The kitchen focuses on local, fresh seasonal produce, with dishes that change with the seasons—from spring asparagus and hand‑dived scallops to winter game and dry‑aged Scotch beef. Across the building, the deli offers an ever‑evolving menu of freshly baked pastries, cheese, charcuterie, and savory sandwiches, all made using ingredients sourced from Scottish Borders farmers and artisan producers. With a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Coltman’s is perfect for families, couples, foodies and solo travelers alike. The historic log‑fire room on the first floor and the bar’s stained‑glass windows provide an inviting backdrop for casual drinks, while the restaurant’s friendly staff are ready to make each visit memorable. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, the combination of stunning river views, heritage ambience, and locally sourced cuisine guarantees a memorable dining experience.
