This Pub is Closed Long Term
JUN 2023 - From Friday 9th June, the Wee Crook will be open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, 10am till 3pm as a cafe. The original building remains closed and increasingly derelict.
JUN 2022 - Wee Crook complete but needs someone to run it before it opens regularly.
JUL 2021 - Work due to start on on The Wee Crook - a licensed bistro - which will hopefully open in early 2022. This is the conversion of one of the outbuildings, not the main Inn. The next stage will be to create bunkhouse accommodation and then work on the original Inn.
PUB CLOSED BACK IN 2006.
Has been bought by the Tweedsmuir Community Company and they have plans to reopen in various stages. See website for more details.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: C
Update 2023 All the indications are that the work to the pub to bring it back into use will see the Art Deco bar fittings replaced with new ones. The toilets are more likely to survive unscathed.
An early 19th-century coaching inn (although claimed to date from 1580) with an extension in c.1936. Most of the Art Deco fittings of that era, including the finest surviving ladies’ and gents’ loos, has been retained. Walk through the terrazzo-floored lobby and past the period hotel reception to find Willie Wastle's Bar at the rear. This is just as it was, with a lapped wood door and bar counter, gantry of shelves, stone fireplace with a circular hearth and copper hood. Even the chunky furniture - chairs, tables including a barrel one, and corner seat - is original.
Currently closed but the pub is to be brought back to use by a local group, formed for the purpose, the Tweedsmuir Community Company. Renovation may take some time but when completed this will be a wonderful place to visit (and, indeed, stay). For the record, before closure our description read: An early 19th-century coaching inn (although claimed to date from 1580) with an extension in c.1936. Most of the Art Deco fittings of that era, including the finest surviving ladies’ and gents’ loos, has been retained. Walk through the terrazzo-floored lobby and past the period hotel reception to find Willie Wastle's Bar at the rear. This is just as it was, with a lapped wood door and bar counter, gantry of shelves, stone fireplace with a circular hearth and copper hood. Even the chunky furniture - chairs, tables including a barrel one, and corner seat - is original.
A visit to the toilets is a must for their vitreous wall panels (two-tone blue in the ladies'; cream with black and red frames in the gents'), Art Deco weighing machine in the ladies', mirrors and plumbing.
