THE GORDON ARMS
Restaurant with Rooms
THE GORDON ARMS Restaurant with Rooms is an independent, chef-owner restaurant with five bedrooms in the heart of the Yarrow Valley in the Scottish Borders.
Proudly recognised in The Good Food Guide’s 100 Best Local Restaurants for three consecutive years (2024-2026), chef-owner Bryn Jones cooks solo and from scratch, creating seasonal menus built on exceptional produce, classical technique and a simple philosophy: Maximum Flavour. Minimum Fuss.
Front of house is led by his wife, Oxana Jones, ensuring warm, personal hospitality from arrival to departure.
Much of what we cook is sourced from the Scottish Borders and beyond, supported by our developing kitchen garden and close relationships with local farmers, estates and coastal suppliers — some just a few miles away, others quite literally only a few steps from the kitchen.
With just seven tables, THE GORDON ARMS Restaurant with Rooms has become a destination for guests who travel for exceptional food, return for consistency, and leave feeling restored.
