The lunch time stop after visiting the Jim Clark Museum is the Jim Clark Bistro - a short walk from the museum into the "centre" of Duns (its a small village) where we can grab a coffee and, if wanted, a sandwich. Apparently, due to numbers they would appreciate that we pre-order. The menu is:
Soup of the day with crusty bread - £6.50
Soup of the day with a warm cheese scone - £7.25
Choice of Sandwich served on Malted Brown Bread with Mixed Salad & Tortilla Chips -
‘Ross Dougal’s Smoked Salmon’ & Cream Cheese - £9.00
Brie & Homemade Apple Chutney Sandwich, - £7.95
Chicken Mayonnaise & Rocket Sandwich, - £8.95
Cheddar, Branston Pickle, Tomato & Rocket - £8.00
You know the routine:
DavidsS8 and Mrs D. Soup/crusty bread x 2
HPsauce and Mrs HP, we'll just have coffee and (if available) cake/scone.
