Kimberley Inn in Moray

Came here for a drink a couple of days ago and we were impressed with the friendly service, and the vegan options, so came back for dinner. Not disappointed - lovely food and lovely service.

Lovely place in a beautiful location. Enjoyed the very generous portion of fish and chips. Quality food. Also had a few drinks with a friend. The service was warm, friendly and welcoming. I will definitely return.

Oh oh,..this was always our go to place for excellent fish and chips…this is the first time we have had reason to complain about the food…chips are now “skin on fries”…awful….mass produced chips that a lot of places serve…fish was still good, but the batter wasn’t as light and crispy as it used to be…..still no option between garden peas and mushy peas but that’s a personal thing! (Although we have been requesting this option for years)

Very nice traditional type bar/restaurant. Food is good, as is the atmosphere and service. If you can get a seat outside, the views are beautiful. The only negative is that it is a bit too cosy in the bar area. Small tables that are supposed to accommodate four make you feel as though you're sitting with the table next to you.

Sitting outside on a beautiful summer’s evening there is no better place than the Kimberly. Ordered the famous chowder and the fish and chips from just a few miles down the coast. Excellent. Drinks well poured. Love this place and it never disappoints

Good food. Good ambience. Great location. Fish and chips were excellent, and so were the burgers. Recommend this wee pub

So we went back to the Kimberly for lunch today been there many times before and always had a good experience but today was a bit of an eye opener. We went in and asked can we have lunch no problem said the barman we got handed menus and ordered a couple of drinks that will be £££ said the barman can we pay at the end of our meal? No you have to pay as you order i was told so i paid for the drinks then had to pay when we ordered our food than decided to have a sweet had to pay again i went to get a coffee and had to pay yet again. During all this a foreign couple came in and had drinks food and more drinks then payed for everything when they were leaving. I am not sure what is going on but did they think a couple of pensioners were going to do a runner on them? Apart from that the food was good as always but I will think again about going back the next time we visit Findhorn

The moment we walked in, we knew we were going to enjoy the atmosphere of the dog friendly pub. A big smiling welcome from the staff and a lovely log fire. The real ales were delightful and were struggling to decide what to eat, everything looked so good. Good portions served and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Will undoubtedly return when next in Scotland!

Fabulous, lovely atmosphere, roaring fire was very welcome. Good draft beers. Lunch was just fab. Beautiful setting. Note: no bookings taken for under 5 people and the place is (quite rightly) heaving busy a lot of the time. Also, dog friendly.

What a lovely spot with great views and food. But the service was very slow and the front of house staff less than welcoming. A rare family get together spilt.

The entrance to the Kimberley Inn is hidden off the front but the welcome was warm. With a good selection of beers, lagers and ciders on draught there was plenty to choose from. The menu also had a good selection of starters including soups, haggis and pate but we close just to have a main course. The chicken burger was a lovely tasty butterflied breast of chicken in a thin batter with barbecue sauce served with chips and coleslaw. My husband had fish and chips which looked great - a large fish in thin crispy batter. It’s about £17 each for main courses but we had no complaints as they were hot and tasty and the service was quick and friendly.

Excellent fish supper and great beer, the crew ate the steak pie , waygu burgers and roast ox cheeks whichnwere all excellent and a couple of shared puds the sheepshagger ale is very drinkable too

Not the first time we have been for lunch. Both visits have been a good experience, food plentiful, we describe it as good pub food. Friendly helpful staff who were able to offer gluten free options, without fuss. Food not too hot, this is a comment not a criticism, otherwise we would have raised it at the time. Yes some tables are tight to each other, but it is a catering business which is a pub, low margins and profitable via volume. If you don't like the closeness use the outside seating. Steak pie was tasty, with the fish and chips adapted to gluten free.

Nice pub but tables are squeezed together and so poor leg room due to unused stools needing to be stored under the table to keep them out of the way. It is dog-friendly but there is little space for them to sit without being under your feet or in the way of the food servers. Fish and chips was sadly very greasy. The other food options looked good though and the staff are very frindly.

Super fresh seafood with a super warm welcome from the friendly team. Great value for money in a cozy old house. Generous portions (almost too much) of whitebait and then mussels to follow. Would return, but it’s a 7 hour drive!!!

Found this place by chance. Food was superb. The soup I had was one of the nicest ones I have had in a restaurant and my husband and friend recommended the chowder. Great location overlooking the water. Reasonably price. Highly recommend

Awesome wee pub in Findhorn. Very clean, very bright inside but still extremely cozy and pub-like. Service was kind, again very pub like. Lovely menu, portion sizes reflecting prices and beautifully cooked! We shared the seafood platter and the mussels- so tasty!

Enjoyable lunch with friends. Really good fish and chips. On the pricey side but good sized portions. Friendly staff and courteous.

The food is excellent and significant portions, but the service arrangement was disappointing. We ate inside and it was essentially self service for menus and drinks. We were seated in the area up from the bar. Literally feet from the bar. Had to get up and get menus. Pay for the meal and drinks up front and pay when we we ordered drinks I get it if we were outside, but inside? It would be so much better if there was even a basic meal service arrangement.

Touring Morayshire we decided to try our luck getting Sunday lunch at this pub. Parking in the street was busy so we weren't sure we'd get in. But we did. The draft cask ale I had was from local Lossiemouth Windswept Brewery and it was excellent. Also available was local cask ale from Aviemore's Cairngorm Brewery. I'd have had both if Scottish drink driving laws weren't so strict. The staff we met were all so efficient and friendly. But special mention for the chef. That was the best Haddock I have ever had. Bar none. Seek this place out. Its terrific.

I’ve been coming to the Kimberly for over 20 years and in the past it has been nothing other than exceptional. The food was superb the staff attentive and fun nothing short of a superb gastronomic experience. Sadly this year they have lost waiting staff and kitchen professionals and it is making a measurable difference in the quality of the food and service. On my last 3 visits the food has been average to say the least with my last meal being awful. It’s so sad to see a brilliant dining experience being reduced to a very average venue. We won’t be going back until we hear that there is a demonstrative change.

It’s a pub, but they serve a really good and fresh food. A pity that they are always full and not very friendly. That place could be really fantastic with a little change of attitude.

Food was spot on, sons food was fresh which impressed us more, seafood platter was excellent. In fact all the food was great. A very miserable rainy day and when we arrived it was quiet and very good prompt service.

Did not find it that friendly and service was muddled, lost count of how many incorrect meals landed on our table, location how ever is seriously spot on. Food however was good , but we we were there for a high value business meal and...

Food was average but service was awful. We booked in advance but were made to feel uncomfortable before we all sat down

Soup wasn’t very warm and lacked flavour. The seafood stew had plenty of fish but the sauce had little flavour. There were no mussels available. The bar lacks atmosphere and we felt the tables were so close together we felt that we were joined to...

Went here twice last week during our stay in Findhorn. The food was excellent, and lovely staff. It is great sitting out by the river when the weather is nice Lovely cold drinks too

If you like seafood this is a must visit, the portions are huge so take your appetite. It’s a lovely cosy restaurant and had an amazing selection of specials on the boards

Never disappointed with a meal or drinks at the Kimberley. Friendly staff, great service and delicious food. Large portions and good value in a beautiful setting.

We used to live around here and came back during another great visit to Scotland’s beautiful coastline, so we had to pop into the Kimberley Inn. As always, we were met with a smile and friendly chat, a great choice of drinks and a superb...

Booked lunch here to meet up with family and friends. Good service and good local brew on draught. The starters are hearty portions and I used them as my main--delicious garlic mushrooms and chips were more than enough. Family enjoyed their whitefish, beetroot burger and...

Four wonderful meals. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. Service is very quick. Every meal was a delight. My wife is vegetarian and enjoyed all her choices. The fish and chips are the best I have ever had. Great batter, large fish with lovely...

I’ve been here twice and on both occasions the food has been fabulous. I cannot fault it. The staff are kind and friendly and the prices are reasonable.

Had a lovely lunch of fish soup with friends- we all enjoyed it very much! A view of the bay enhanced the pleasure of hot soup on a cold February day.

Up on a golfing break with 3 friends. Great pub with good food, beer and service. Busy early evenings then quieter later. Nice clientele. No negatives from me. Will definitely be returning.👍

Having read some of the recent reviews , we decided to give it a try. The reviews last year made us stay away and after eating there I wish we had . On ordering at the bar we chose to have a bottle of Concha...

I telephoned the Kimberley Inn on the morning of 20/09/22/ to book a table for my wife and I for around 7:30, the telephone was answered by Gary who stated "you don't need to book just turn up we will seat you in the bar...

A hearty meal - mostly fishy things plus chips, and one steak pie which was really very tasty. Staff friendly, and we popped out to the benches outside after dinner for a wee drinkie enjoying the view in a beautiful warm evening.

Been here several times and no complaints! Love sitting outside looking to the water but chilled atmosphere inside too when weather bit changeable. Cant wait to return

Visited around my birthday had to go for the haddock and chips never disappoints. Menu has been updated since my last visit around Christmas with seasonal dishes.

Visited today. Food was fantastic and very generous portions. The staff were personable and our dog was welcomed. Very pleased all round.

The Kimberley Inn comes in at the top cozy pubs in Scotland with an open fire, great selection of food even for vegetarian and vegans and a good selection of beverages. We were lucky passing by after getting lost in the dunes and seeing the...

We enjoyed eating here twice and had a drink one time during our week in Findhorn. The staff and food are great.

Good atmosphere, always busy and friendly staff. Service is quick for food and a decent portion. Nice and cosey in winter, with the log fire on. I'd like to see maybe a few new choices on the menu. Overall though - excellent wee pub.

Lots of options, the burger was very tasty and the portions were a great size. The staff were very helpful

We were a party of six with our little grandson who really enjoyed the scampi . Nothing was too much trouble for the ladies who were behind the bar and waiting at table . It was New Years Day and the pub was really busy...

Disappointing in terms of food and atmosphere. Fish and chips was nothing special. And staff started putting chairs on tables to clear up at 9pm on a Saturday evening.

Service good. Beer tasty and well kept. Steak Sandwich for £13-90 is pricey . A few strips of rather tough steak in a sauce that had no real taste of horseradish was a disappointment as were the chips. Never can understand why they cannot peel...

We were in Findhorn two weeks ago and cannot praise the village or the Kimberely Inn enough. We were a party of ten, who stayed in one of the owner's rental accommodations, Sandspoint, and ate at the Inn. Sandspoint is a beautifully refurbished house overlooking...

Visited with friends from London on a sunny but cold day, lovely to walk in and be greeted with a smile and feel the warmth from a real coal fire. A great place to enjoy a drink, a coffee or a home cooked meal from...

We both had the Chowder for starter and Buckie Haddock for our main. The chowder was very tasty and enjoyable but felt slightly overpriced for what you got. However still a good choice to have. The Buckie Haddock was lovely, just melts in your mouth,...

Excellent food and drink options, dog friendly, open fire. Friendly, efficient staff. What's not to like? We have been going for years and will return,

What a complete contrast to the Crown and Anchor next door ! Friendly cheerful staff happy smiling customers busy and bustle with tasty hot freshly served food - no wonder next door is empty and this one busy. Highly recommend the fresh fish which was...

The Kimberley is always on our 'to visit' list when up in Morayshire, and this year's visit didn't disappoint. Can't for the life of me understand why it isn't in this year's Good Beer Guide, because the Cairngorm 'Autumn Nuts' and the Orkney 'Red MacGregor'...

After a long walk it was lovely to be welcomed in, even with hiking boots! A warm fire and fantastic fish and chips sorted us out.

3 of us had a great evening meal tonight. Hadn't booked as we had just arrived in Findhorn. We were told to take a seat upstairs in the main bar, where there were about 8 or 9 tables, that can just about get 4 people...

Good selection of whisky. Great seafood. Friendly staff. Dog friendly.Great way to be part of the local culture

Lovely pub right in the center of town. We had a delicious fish soup and bread. The burgers were very good as was the salmon. Service was friendly and very relaxed. Very casual good for groups.

Friendly and lively inn with excellent food - had the best piece of haddock I've ever eaten, cooked in a delicious batter and served with great chips. Can't wait to return on a future visit.

And we certainly did if you have a good appetite for good food the Kimberly was excellent ;I had the steak pie and from someone who knows his eat from the trade , I was mightily impressed my wife had the huge haddock and chips...

We had a little side room all to ourselves for dinner, and it was perfect for our group of 15. The staff was able to accommodate us very well - you order food and drinks at the bar, and then they are delivered. System works...

Stopped by on a sunny but windy day. Food looked fab and reasonably priced. Free WiFi. However, one beer, gin & tonic and fake J2o almost £13. We didn’t have another round! Not tight, we live in a pricey village not far from a big...

A very warm and welcoming atmosphere for respite from the Scottish weather. Cosy and a nice selection of food.

The Kimberley Inn is a lovely place to sit outside on a summers evening. The staff are very friendly. The food is very average, especially given the menu is small. I went last year too and the menu hasn’t changed since then. You would’ve thought...

Just a lovely friendly place with good food to boot, your only a short distance from the beautyful harbour which is a perfect place to walk along. I certainly would recommend this place

Made a return visit to the Kimberley Inn and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the staff all friendly. Great location for a post-meal walk around the beautiful estuary in Findhorn.

We had dinner here. I had the steak sandwich— too many onions and mushrooms, too much bread, very little steak in it. Chips were good, but salad wasn’t very fresh. My friend had Chicken curry which was too spicy and chicken was very dry. Service...

Been coming here for twenty years.. never had a bad meal Big portions and value for money. Great location and atmosphere

Después de caminar alrededor de la bahía de Findhorn llegamos Kimberly y, como perros, nos detuvimos a cenar.

Visitamos anoche con la hermana de mi esposa también tuvimos nuestro perro con nosotros, como Kimberley Inn acepta mascotas. Mientras esperábamos a la orden vimos un número de comidas se sirven a los clientes. Toda la comida muy buena pinta y algunos de los olores era hacerme influya en diferentes direcciones a lo que yo iba a pedir. Al final opté por uno de mis peces favoritos y patatas fritas! ! ! Al final tres de nosotros tuvimos el pescado y patatas fritas. El pescado era grande caliente, fresco con patatas fritas caseras y muy buena salsa tartar todos disfrutamos de nuestra comida. He estado en el Kimberley anteriormente pero no durante un largo periodo de tiempo sin duda volveremos en el futuro. Bien hecho, Kimberley inn sigan con el buen trabajo y la calidad de la comida y el servicio ⭐ ️ ⭐ ️ ⭐ ️ ⭐ ️ ⭐ ️

The Kimberley is the type of place you need after a long day's travel.. Met with a warm welcome and a cold pint. Food was great and the staff, locals and the other travellers were all very friendly. well recommended.

Visita aquí regularmente tanto con los clientes de negocios y con amigos y siempre lo encuentro un lugar muy agradable y relajante, para disfrutar de algo de comida.

Comida de excelente qualidade! Atendimento cordial. O ambiente é simpático e acolhedor. Sugiro o salmão e o fish and chips que, pode acreditar, é feito com haddock e custa barato!!! Para não correr o risco de não conseguir lugar do lado de dentro (e evitar o ventinho escocês ), recomendo reservar. Bon Appétit !

Great service can't do enough for you Big portions Lovely place Limited spaces to eat outside but nice inside

I visited the pub with Friends whilst exploring the beach Pros: Massive Portions Reasonable Price Able to accommodate a group last minute Fresh and hot food Friendly staff Cons: Menu is a little limited, but the fish and chips was great

Estábamos en Findhorn para la primera semana de julio, y usamos el Kimderley Inn tres veces para la cena. El menú es fantástico como es el marisco especialidades tablas para morirse, todos productos locales si quieres una cena de pescado, este es el lugar para ti. . . . . . . Aunque ocupado el personal son muy amables y muy eficientes informativa ☺ ☺ ☺

Wonderful haddock supper ! I was previously rejected from another restaurant in Findhorn due to their dog policy - Kimberly was super welcoming - insisted my dog was a good boy and gave him biscuits. Will certainly return !

A lovely pub, well maintained with a good menu and great tasting haddock. Just what you need after a walk along the beach.

A great place to relax, eat and drink after a walk along the coast. We really enjoyed 2 superb meals here, the fish and chips sitting outside in the sunshine was particularly gorgeous!

Tuve el pescado y patatas fritas y fue mejor que la comida que comí en el restaurante de Rick stein en Falmouth. Fue una generosa porción de pescado y estaba perfectamente preparada. Mi esposa tenía la mariscada que era igual de bien hecho y despedazado. El chico poco fuimos para gambas y patatas fritas y disfrutamos de su comida.

The pub charged me £10.50 for two and half "pints" of warm and bland local ale. Not the fault of the breweries by the way. The pub uses a tight nozzle on their pumps which froths-up the ale and creates a creamy head (you get given a "pint" with a massive bishop's collar, as its known in Guinness drinking circles) How this practise is allowed considering the prices I don't know?

Taking advantage of lovely Findhorn Bay, this eatery and pub is so over priced.. A pub food starter for £7.50 ! No bread. Designer-food miniscule Goats chees salad had a small sprinkling of cheese, mainly boiled beetroot. Rigid no refund policy, just defiance when I complained. Mini bowl of chips £3'50. So a starter, chips and half of cider cost £12-50. Last time ( why did i go back ?) my £12 quorn curry was just chunks with a jar sauce on top and rice, no veg, no chutney. My son had a veg burger and pint and paid double what Wetherspoons charge. Publican known for lack of cordiality.

You have to book or take your chance with this pub as it can get very busy , worst at weekends. All said we got a table about 8 after a 15 min wait. Once ordered we sat and waited with our drinks for our order to arrive. Steak was very good, cooked how I asked for and the good ladies fish and chips were lovely. Although you could call it a small whale! Very little grease or oil and very Fresh! Again real ales on offer here as well. Enjoyable.

This place let's itself down with poor customer service. Just because you have a good venue shouldn't mean you don't have to try. We were a large party there recently and were disappointed with the general attitude ( apart from the helpful young guy behind the bar) If an area is booked for a special occasion, you don't expect to find that one of your tables have been rebooked from 9pm and friends refused access ( especially when nobody actually turned up to use the table). So my review would be "must try harder"

An old pub, by the water. Full of people, from several countries, having a good time. good food - excellent smoked salmon, hot fillet of salmon and steak pie. Aware staff - busy but not too busy to overlook orders taking time and so on. A very good way to spend a summer's evening. No pomposity - just getting on with life. Worth returning to.

A nice old pub with a cosy atmosphere and a good choice of pub food, although as said in another review the menu could do with refreshing. I found the staff very friendly and helpful. As its popular it can get busy and some diners linger after their meal which limits the free tables. We experienced some confusion with a booking so possibly better to try and get there early when its quiet. Various seating areas inside, better view from the front room window if you can get a seat there, or eat out front, weather permitting. Best of all take a drink and sit on the benches outside and watch the sun set over the bay. I've been to Findhorn a few times over the years and thought the Kimberley was the better of the two pubs in the village as I felt the other pub, one minutes walk away, was quiet and seemed to favor the local RAF personnel. However the RAF have now left the area and the other village pub has greatly improved inside and has a good menu, so possibly the Kimberley may need to up its game. However the Kimberley still has the old village charm, atmosphere and a good location so I would still try there first.

Stopped off after a walk along the beach, had a look at the menu and was lost for choice, as I love seafood this was probably the best place I could have chosen, I went for the seafood chowder which I thought was a bit pricey, well I was wrong, the waiter came up with the chowder and said sorry but the plate is a bit full, I told him better too much than too little, could not believe how much fish and prawns was in the chowder, could have done with some mussels but very trivial downside, will be back again and have told a lot of my golfing buddies who have all said they will defo go to try out the seafood, well done the Kimberly.Took some videos from the air around the bay with a drone where you will see the Kimbely on the flybys, YouTube, Hopemaniac, Richie Main, videos, Findhorn 1 to 7

A popular and cosy Inn in the village of Findhorn. I had a meal at the inn recently. Quite an extensive menu, good service and very cosy on a chilly night. Perhaps I chose the wrong meal, but I was not impressed with the food. I chose a venison burger, which came with chips and coleslaw. I found the burger dry and tough, which was a disappointment. My colleagues chose a cheese burger, and they were happy with their meals. I thought the food was quite expensive for pub food, and burgers.

There is little doubt that the setting of the Kimberley is pleasant but unless you are in the front room overlooking the Bay the bar area tables have no windows and no view.When full the place can get noisy and the service slow. The food menu rarely changes and is nothing special; it is not particularly good value but the helpings are large and you need to be hungry to fit in the puddings on offer.On a quiet day give it a try but when it is overfull it is not worth the wait.

Over the last 8 years we have visited the Kimberley Inn on numerous occasions and usually enjoyed it. The setting is stunning if the weather permits you to sit outside and enjoy it, as it is set on the edge of a sea lagoon. There is often plenty to look at and it is good to work one's lunch/dinner off afterwards with a walk on the beach.As far as the food is concerned - this can be variable and range from the excellent to the absolutely bog standard and not very exciting. The menu does not change that regularly, but my suspicion would be that the chef does, as we have ordered the same things frequently over the years and the presentation and quantity has varied hugely. Standards include scallops wrapped in bacon with chilli sauce - variable in quality and quantity, fish and chips - always good, and huge portions, scampi and chips - very standard, and on our last visit my sister in law only got about 4 scampi, steak and ale pie - fine, mussels in season - good and reasonable quantity. I feel that they could do more with their seafood. What they do is unadventurous and fairly basic and I would think that there are a sufficient number of people living locally, who would enjoy more interesting food, that they would do better if they revamped the menu a little.My children rate the puddings - in particular the Mars Bar Cheesecake. The portion size does vary a little, but it is very rich and so a small quantity is enough. The pavlova we ordered on our last visit fed three easily.If you are going at a weekend of good weather, or during a weekend in which there is some activity going on at nearby Gordonstoun school, book in advance. Discuss with them also if they are happy to have children under 16 as we have also occasionally been told they do not want them in the pub after about 8.

The Kimberley Inn, although small internally, is a lovely quaint restaurant that serves up some outstanding cheesey baguettes and delicious Mussels along with many other delicious meals.... Definitely worth a visit after a trip on the boats or a beach stroll!! Friendly and welcoming staff with reasonable prices.

I went to this pub a few years ago and it was great. This time, the service was rubbish and the food mediocre. Could've spoilt our hol if we had let it. Pricey and staff forgot my tea.. We were the only people in the bar! They also said a price for the food then apologised and said it was more. The last straw was they said they couldn't bring food over the road to us as they weren't insure, after they had said it was ok. Wish I had read David M's post before we went there... My family were disappointed.

I ate here quite a few times when we were in the area. I loved the food and the services was good and friendly. They even allowed us to take out little JRT into the bar which was nice as he suffered from seperation anxiety.

we went here for lunch and the helpings were so large and extremely tasty that we couldn't eat anything else that day

This is in a really unique setting-sitting outside watching the sunset on the bay is a treat. The food is generally very good, fresh salad, and extremely generous fish portions. In the winter, there is a huge open fire. The building is very old and has lots of character.

We called in to the Kimberley during an Easter visit to Scotland.The staff were very friendly and helpful we asked for a table and as they found us one, A better one became available this happened four times and we ended up at the best table in the house overlooking the bay.A pint of cairngorm bitter and fish and chips were fantastic the atmosphere was great and the price was very reasonable.If your in the area it's well worth a visit.

I popped in for a drink and a bite to eat after an afternoon on the water. Both myself and my dog were given a warm welcome and had a delicious lamb shank. If you're lucky enough to get a seat outside the view is incredible as the sun sets. I've been since and will certainly be returning this summer!

We visited the Kimberly last year for a meal with family. We all had a main course and drinks. The food was great, the burger was especially good. The service was fine and the restaurant was busy but not overcrowded. It was a bit of a shame that there were no peas or anything served with the fish and chips but the standard of food was good all the same. I was a bit disappointed when visiting previously that I wasn't allowed to have just a glass of water from the bar. I think they wanted me to pay for a proper drink. It was a bit of a let down as we had just walked about 6 miles. Would return as the price is reasonable and the food/portion sizes are generous.

Been going here for years and each year the staff, service and value for money deteriorates. Self righteous attitude of bar staff verges on hilarious if it wasn't for the fact I'm parting with hard eArned cash for over priced mediocre grade food and drink. If you are visiting findhorn avoid this nuveao country gastro pub and go visit the crown and anchor instead where staff are pleasant, food is great, value assured and genuine hospitality assured. Kimberley should look to itself laurels instead of a Rachman approach to village pub food and grub.
