Brambles Cafe & Outside Catering in Highland

Very old bar where all heads turn when you walk in. Two young waitresses at behind the bar at the kitchen door, one chewing her fingers. We approached one to see if we could have lunch. She sat us through in the restaurant. Terrible space! In desperate need of a refurbishment. Wall lights missing, stains on the walls, bugs in ceiling lights, mfr radio blaring, chair material hanging off, lonely dirt vase sitting on a window ledge. Lg Sign on the wall asking you to oder and pay for drinks at the bar. That's the last place I want to go back too. Waitress came over and gave us a board with an evening menu on and a pensioners menu. I asked her for two glasses of tap water. When it came it was two pints glasses. My mum is 83, never in her life has she drunk out of a pint glass!!! Anyway we were told there was no lunch menu today. Midweek at lunch time, odd when you advertise lunch and evening times! We ordered our food not expecting much to be honest. Food was lovely, tasty and hot. Not keen on bitty chips or being served in a chip basket but that's just me. What a shame the chef is lease/contracted this kitchen in a dump of a place. BOH staff need to find a premises nearer town away from Dows bar that really don't love their building or business. Sweet menu looked nice but we were ready to leave. Asked waitress twice for bill. Ended up going to the two waitresses that were still sat down, we paid and left a tip. No, thank you, bye, have a nice day, see you again. Nothing. Barman ignored us too. All eight to ten people in bar watched us walk back through. Horrible unkempt place. Food was lovely but will never return.

Now in Dows bar, Balloan road, Inverness Me and my wife went one quiet Friday evening, only 5/6 tables in. Order was taken quick (drinks you get at the bar). Starter was Halloumi Fries which were a great start. Then we had one Steak and one Mixed Grill. Never asked how we wanted our Steaks? The Steak was RUBBISH (Grizzle), Mixed Grill cool (Not Hot). Told there is only one chef on this night, then we got our bill and paid. Only later to notice we were over charged by £6 We messaged them about this over charge......4 weeks later STILL WAITING...
