Stopped off on my dog walk for a coffee and breakfast roll. Food was lovely although a choice of white or brown rolls would be preferable. Excellent friendly service by a lovely lady. Disappointed to find their boxes are not recycled or compostable, feel that in this day and age ever has to do their bit for the environment and reduce waste.

Total waste of time and money. Staying on a campsite with signs everywhere saying food till 8pm at the snack van. First night they said oh we are taking last orders at 6.45 today. Left it and got a coffee in morning instead. Coffee was awful and not cheap. Decided to give them another wee try for food. Menu in cabin said open til 8pm. Sign outside cabin said open till 8pm. Placed order on just eat at 6.30 they advised 35 mins for collection. Waited and walked in rain to collect. Shutters all down. No one about. No one to contact. Poor campsite reception girl seemed embarrassed and advised they have a fb page to contact. Have tried that and no response at all to any complaints. What a joke. Crappy coffee then no food. Please read reviews. Campsite said everyone has to check Facebook for opening times before ordering lol. That's a new one lol. Didn't even think a wee snack van by the roadside would have a Facebook page!!!!!!! Total waste of time and a crappy end to our holiday! There's a lovely wee Chinese that delivers to site and it was amazing 👏 better giving business to a wee business that actually delivers 💗 fat bhudda chinese 💗

Located at the entrance to Torvean Caravan park, we decided to treat ourselves to breakfast rolls. So disappointed with the quality of ingredients. I suppose the price denotes this. Not fresh Scottish produce as expected, but low budget food served on a dry cold brioche bun. Such a shame, as we would have used it again. As it is, we sadly can’t recommend it.

Me, my Father and his partner had a burger, club sandwich, steak sandwich and fries. The burger was great, the club sandwich was good value for money in our opinion but the steak sandwich wasn't (Overpriced for what you get). The fries however were amazing. Fresh and hot! The chef though wasn't friendly. Overall good food but chef was maybe unfriendly because he was by himself and it was busy.

My wife and I were visiting friends who were staying at the Torvean Caravan Site. We all fancied a cooked breakfast and decided to try Black Box Food who have small premises near the Caravan Site entrance. There is a great range of food available including all the usual cooked breakfast favourites, hot and cold drinks, pizzas, burgers, hot sandwiches etc plus some vegan options. Prices were very reasonable with the 'wee box' at £5 and the 'big box'at £8.50 very good value. Service was quick and friendly and our breakfasts very enjoyable.

The fab cinnamon buns elevated our coffee stop from great to awesome! Other really yummy cakes are available. Oh, and the vegan tomato pizza swirl looked great too if you fancy a savoury.

After arriving at skye and looking for places to eat this proved a little difficult as it was out of season and places had limited opening hours. We went for Gabbro bar after seeing it on google maps. The pictures of food looked passable. After getting there having to get our own wipes to clean the table after ordering things weren't looking good, then the toilets were very rundown and like a back street bar toilets. The food then came out in baskets, lined with greaseproof paper. (Something you would expect in a arcade) Fish and chips and the macaroni and chips. Even a plate would have been acceptable even though the fish was clearly out the freezer and very greasy. To top it off a random dog was wandering around trying to smell the food on the table and pushing its way under the table to check for any food.

Coffee was pretty poor. Only 3 biscuits on offer. Worst thing was the place was FREEZING. Staff were all wearing coats and hats inside. Perhaps problem with heating? If so they should have closed! Or given coffee for free! We left early!

Nice coffee & cake but absolutely revolting 'savouries' consisting of cheese and tomato or rosemary on top of what turned out to be sweet mediocre scone

Been to the old north inn a few times, both the pub and restaurant, And it seems it only runs properly if a waiter called Paul is working. I will not be returning unless it is a Friday or Saturday night as that seems to be when he is working there otherwise it is extremely slow service. Went in with my partner and we decided to sit in the pub area where One other couple were seated, it took them 20 minutes to even bring us a food menu after asking for it three times. The woman serving us was obviously new but she didn't make any attempt to come over and take our order for another 20 minutes or so.When they finally took our order it was another half an hour before our food came out. My partner ordered balmoral chicken but received a piece of chicken with black pudding on top. Either they got it wrong, have no clue that it is mean to be served with haggis, or they’d run out of haggis. Either way, I don’t think it’s acceptable. It was a hassle even getting a drinks order as no one was tending the bar or in the pub area for very long. All attention seemed to be given to the restaurant area. Cannot say how the service was in the restaurant area but Perhaps if they weren’t going to provide adequate service in the pub Or have the staff to properly tend the bar, they shouldn’t have had it open. Would not recommend, new management don’t seem to know how to run a pub or restaurant and have completely ruined the decor inside with terrible painting skills and by ripping out all the old features in the dining area. Such a shame.
