We had a great time and food was very well made.
We had 2 starter (no pictures sorry) and two mains each.

The shrimps/lobster and pigeon as a starters and turkey and Gnocchi as a main. We were stuffed and couldn’t go through with the very tempting chocolate fondue.

The quality of the food is great and clearly cooked with knowledgeable hands, tasty ingredients paired to perfections, also the mix of consistencies on the gnocchi was great!
I will definitely go back, well done to the kitchen and floor team!

Visited midweek and the restaurant was really quiet. The food and service were excellent. They have a dedicated vegan menu with a good variety of dishes, which makes things super straightforward for vegans, and means that I'll definitely return to try the other main course options (was delighted there was more than one choice). I highly recommend the tempura mushroom starter, it was great.

A great spot for lunch or dinner - welcoming and professional front of have make it a pleasure to be there. Our table looking over to the semi open kitchen was a lovely one, I wanted every meal that was coming from the kitchen. Needless to say food was well cooked and of a generous portion! Looking forward to our next trip.

Genuinely lovely experience. Ate here on Saturday evening as an anniversary celebration. Very relaxed decor and ambience, the kind of place where you can happily dress up or stay as casual as you like. Tables spaced nicely apart - not crowded at all! We ordered bread, olives and oysters from the nibbles selection - enough bread to see us through to our starters, very generous portion. The Dexter short rib croquettes are one of the best meat dishes I've ever tasted; again, a very good portion. Rare sirloin steak for my main was perfectly cooked. I must mention the service as this was really excellent - every single member of staff was polite, knowledgeable and efficient. Three courses for two, an aperitif each and a bottle of wine to share came just under £200 (including tip) but was worth every penny for a special occasion.

Provender is definitely one of the best restaurants I've had the pleasure of visiting in the UK. Set in lovely Melrose, Provender is a charming wee restaurant with extremely professional staff, good ambience, and a great menu. I must specifically commend Provender for having a consistently great vegan menu. Many restaurants have vegan options as an afterthought, yet at Provender, over a series of five visits, the vegan menu has had options that beat even dedicated vegan-only restaurants. Rest assured, my pescetarian friends were thoroughly impressed with the fish options.

I can't recommend Provender enough.
