A NEW Chinese restaurant is set to open in the Scottish Borders next week.
The Shanghai Banquet will take over the premises formerly known as Herges on The Loch in Tweedbank which closed in August 2021 after owners Sandy and Karen Craig made the decision to retire after struggling to find staff for their business.
Now all going well, the Shanghai Banquet will open on Friday December 15.

It is the sister restaurant of the popular China Red Buffet in Grindlay Street, Edinburgh near to the Usher Hall.
And it promises to offer the same great food and service as China Red Buffet, but with a more modern and stylish dining space.

The buffet will feature a wide variety of Chinese dishes, including both traditional and modern favourites.
Diners can start their meal with some dim sum, like dumplings or spring rolls.
Then, move on to a main course, like Peking duck or stir-fry.
And for dessert, try some traditional Chinese sweets, like mooncakes or tangyuan.
