Local tips

  • Arrive during quieter afternoon hours for a more intimate experience, or time your visit for sunset to enjoy the sea views at their most dramatic.
  • The scallops with black pudding and the seabass are standout dishes; ask staff for the day's fresh catch specials, which often represent the best value.
  • Book ahead during peak season and weekends, particularly if dining as a larger group or for a special occasion.
  • If travelling by campervan, take advantage of the on-site parking with electric hook-ups and sea views—a rare convenience for self-catering travellers.
  • Allow time to explore Eyemouth's harbour, fishing museum, and coastal walks before or after your meal to make a full day of your visit.

A Harbourside Gem with Panoramic Views

The Heathers Restaurant occupies a distinctive position on Gunsgreen Hill, commanding sweeping views across Eyemouth harbour and the North Sea beyond. The building itself serves as the clubhouse for Eyemouth Golf Club, lending it a welcoming, established character. Large windows frame the water, where fishing boats and leisure craft come and go throughout the day, creating a dynamic backdrop that shifts with the tides and light. The setting captures the essence of this working fishing village while offering visitors a comfortable, refined dining experience.

Seafood Excellence and Seasonal Freshness

The kitchen's reputation rests on its commitment to fresh, quality seafood sourced from local waters and suppliers. The menu rotates seasonally and features an impressive range of preparations: king prawns, scallops, seabass, plaice, scampi, and black pudding appear regularly alongside other fish and shellfish specials. Dishes are executed with straightforward technique that allows the natural flavour of the seafood to shine. Portion sizes are notably generous—diners frequently comment that two courses leave them satisfied without room for dessert. The menu also includes non-seafood options, ensuring there is something for every palate, though the seafood selections are the true draw.

The dining room maintains a relaxed yet polished atmosphere, suitable for families, couples, and groups.

Whether you arrive for a casual lunch or a memorable dinner, the restaurant's welcoming approach ensures guests feel valued.

The restaurant is open daily from 10:00 to 20:00, accommodating both lunch and dinner service.
