AA Restaurant of the Year Scotland 2007-2008
At the AA Hospitality Awards held on Monday 1st October 2007 at The Balmoral, Edinburgh, Patrick and Vivienne collected on behalf of The Horseshoe Inn the prestigious AA Restaurant of the Year Scotland 2007-2008 Award.
To quote the AA, “Whilst the standard of cuisine is at the very heart of the selection criteria of this award, innovation, ambience, service and hospitality are all part of the equation that determines the eventual winners”.
Awarded 3 AA Rosettes
At the AA Hospitality Awards 2007-2008 held on Monday 1st October 2007 at The Balmoral, Edinburgh, Patrick proudly collected on behalf of The Horseshoe Inn our 3rd AA Rosette.
To quote the AA say, this award takes The Horseshoe “into the big league” where “expectations of the kitchen are high; exact technique, flair and imagination must come through in every dish, and balance and depth of flavour are all-important”. Restaurants awarded three, four or five AA Rosettes represent “The Top Ten Per Cent” of the restaurants in their Guide; with only 3 Restaurants in Scotland having 4 Rosettes and 22 having 3 Rosettes, we are now in esteemed company and the only establishment in the Scottish Borders to have attained this special status.
Awarded 4 AA Stars, Highly Commended
In January 2007, The Horseshoe Inn was awarded 4 Stars by the AA for the 8 bedrooms in The Horseshoe Lodge; VisitScotland also awarded us 4 Stars for our Accommodation. We are pleased to announce that in June 2007, our accommodation was “Highly Commended” by the AA placing it within the Top 10% of our starring category.
This accolade is highlighted by the AA with the use of Yellow Stars.
