Kimberly Inn Findhorn in Moray

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.

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.

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

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...

We only had a light lunch here but we really enjoyed our cullen skinks. Top marks too for the draught ales. The pub overlooks the beach in this lovely out of the way village.

We had high expectations of this place having been recommended it by the owner of the place we were staying in. I wish I’d read the reviews on here first. Guy behind the bar was devoid of personality and told us to sit anywhere as...

The Kimberley Inn is a fantastic pub with lots of character. The staff are always friendly and the food is always brilliant. The portion sizes are very generous so have never walked away hungry or disappointing! Never had an issue there and is a must...

We arrived mid afternoon looking for food but needing a table with wheelchair accessibility. Bar staff extremely helpful. Although orders are taken at the bar, the staff came and took our order at the table. Food excellent, service excellent. Not cheap, but you get what...

Geschikt voor de snelle hap. Het eten is matig maar betaalbaar. Het was er heel druk. De bediening is okay....

After days of beautiful coast line but disasterous meals out, Im vegetarian and most places we found in Moray had no vegetarian options at all. I asked friend and fellow traveller to go to Findhorn. We found details on here and phoned to ask if...

Five of us went to this pub without booking on a lovely Friday evening. We managed to get a table that accommodated us and browse the menu which seemed more extensive and interesting than last time we went a year or so ago. The food...

We have been coming to the Kimberley for years. Whenever we are in the area - it is a family must do! It is welcoming, cosy and the food - absolutely delicious. And that was my view before our visit yesterday. Oh me oh my...

Petite terrasse avec vue et salle agréable pour ce bon restaurant. En ce qui me concerne pour ce dîner :...

Absolutely love everything about the Kimberly! We're always made to feel very welcome and always leave satisfied (with full bellies!) after lovely food and drinks. 5* every time! Thank you

The low point of a family day. Big waits to order. No single person evident managing the place. Seafood platters very average, a shame given what seafood is available in the Moray area. Deep fried haggis mushrooms dripping in oil (might be an idea to...

We come here every month; in our opinion it is the best place to eat in Moray. You can sit outside and look over the bay and eat delicious food Inside when it is cold outside they have an open log fire. The food is...

Well I read all the reviews which are very mixed but decided to try it for ourselves. Whatever the issues in the past I think they have been well and truly resolved. We had a lovely lunch after being greeted very warmly by Gary who...

We were made to feel very welcome by Gary. Daisy our dog was given a water bowl and treat too. A lovely log fire was welcome as the weather was cool for early May. We chose Garlic Fantastic as a starter to share. It was...

The Kimberley Inn is friendly, welcoming and appropriately attentive to the needs of its customers. We were met with a smile and an immediate and positive response to our requirements. We had drinks and our meal at a table in the bar. It was warm,...

This place has gone down hill .Like others we felt the chap behind the bar somewhat charmless . Mrs is gluten intolent and the barman was diffident about her enquies as to what was GF .We ordered drinks and looked at the menu but we...

We went to the Kimberley inn on a Monday evening with my son and his partner who lives in the area. It was a cold evening and a huge log fire welcomed us into the bar. We were given the choice of an ordinary menu...

The last time we visited in summer 2021, the food and service were both very poor. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because the Kimberely used to be lovely. I visited again this week (Jan 2022) and the service was incredibly rude. The...

Very disappointed with the service and quality of food. Went for a birthday celebration and server was very cold and dismissive. Food was poor and kids left still hungry. We have been going here for years and just keeps getting progressively worse. Wont be back...

We ate here on the 2nd of January, 11 of us 7 adults 4 children. the food was mostly your average pub food, the fish was huge to be fair but was heavy with too much batter, and I've eaten a lot better. It was...

Lovely food but the guy that works there isnt very pleasant atall. Horrible attitude and that's happened more than once we have experienced this. We know people who have also said the same thing. If you have children you won't make welcome thats for sure.

We arrived early evening with dogs, fresh off the beach. Absolutely no problem! Service was friendly and efficient (ordered at the Bar), food was very pleasant indeed and the beer well-kept and tasty. Highly recommended.

Been tonight 7th oct 2021 6 people for a birthday meal Basic food for high prices Frozen food no atmosphere One member violently sick with the pie No help for disabled person Horrible man in charge And place we were put full of flies Never...

We had my 70th birthday meal here. There was 19 of us 8 adults and 11 kids ranging in age from 20 months to 70! We had an area to ourselves and we’re served royally with delicious food. We’re not local so didn’t know what...

This nice situated bar/restaurant is completely ruined by the awful management and staff. I have never been so disappointed and embarrassed by how unprofessional, untrained and uneducated the staff are about hotel, bar and restaurant management. Before we even begin with the service - The...

Fantastic spot, best location for a pub ever! Sat outside a couple of nights on the trot and the dog was happy watching the world go by. Food was fab, the only reason for no fifth star is that one of our two meals was...

After not being too impressed at last visit , friends and I were going to an event at the Foundation and thought would try here again . My friend phoned to book but was told couldn’t book for tables for less than 6 . Fine...

Lovely location overlooking the estuary. Enjoyed a really excellent haddock and chips. Big portions. Fish cooked nicely - not too much batter and not dry and over cooked. Good value for money.

Whilst staying at the loft campsite locally this was the first restaurant we stumbled across and ended up coming here every night! The inn itself is lovely, in a great location and overlooking the bay. The building itself is beautiful and the exterior with its...

Ate here 4 nights on the trot as limited choices in Findhorn; however, limited or not this is where I’d choose to eat. It’s the most welcoming, altogether best menu options and lovely old building with great views. Seafood specials on most days we were...

We enter the establishment and got our table that we’d booked ahead for, the whole place seemed to be very dark and dingy. The service seemed quite slow and the staff flustered. The children’s menu was very strange, fishless fish fingers (!), scampi, or cheesy...

When we arrived the service seemed quite shambolic. The place was busy and this is probably the reason why. It is not a big space and the tables felt very close together and were sticky When we ordered there wasn’t any quinoa burgers left ....

This is a place I have visited every year and always had the Chicken Tikka. This year, no Tikka as they can’t get the ingredients, I ordered Vegetable Chilli, none, no cheesy pasta for the kids tonight, no coffee as the machine was broke. Utter...

We had a group staying and after a lovely coastal walk stopped for drinks and a light lunch at the Kimberly inn. As the weather was fabulous we sat outside on a picnic table. Hardly anywhere else I know has such beautiful views. Just so...

Beautiful location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent and efficient service. Delicious food. Pavlova biggest that my husband has ever seen!! Would definitely recommend 😁

We ate here for lunch both ordered the Chicken burger. It was amazing. Large portion of chicken in a light, crispy batter with all the trimmings. Beautiful view if sitting outside.

Ate here twice, food was very good, staff are really efficient and friendly. Great selection of whiskies and beer, and some decent wine. Tried to get into Crown and Anchor twice which looked empty but apparently they were too full. So didn't bother again!

We had a very good meal at the Kimberley Inn on a Wednesday lunchtime. Our dogs were welcomed. We were asked to not allow them on the seats, this was not a problem as we do not allow them on furniture at home. The meal...

Visited on a Monday evening and had an excellent experience. Staff were helpful, attentive and polite. The food was very good, well presented and tasty. Would definitely come back for a visit. The prawn and Mellon starter was light and tasty, the garlic bread starter...

Visited with family including dog. Starters fine but mains a huge disappointment, massaman beef curry under seasoned ( mild taste of five spice powder ) and basmati was like puddin rice. Chicken in the Cajun pasta dish was chewy and looked "manufactured". Wish I'd stuck...

A real ale pub with no real ale. Went for lobster for my anniversary and they didn’t have any. Not happy.

Great place to have a drink , something nice to eat and enjoy wonderful view over Estuary. The staff are so friendly and greet you with a smile. The food is delicious, good choice of dishes and always lovely fresh seafood on offer.

Had a fabulous lunch here with my flatulent pal. We had Lentil soup and black pudding bon bons. The food was superb and had the added bonus of giving us the most amazing wind that evening. We both agreed we had never farted so much...

I’ll start by saying that the food itself and the service here is good. Polite and helpful staff. However the pricing of some of the dishes beggars belief. The Falfalel starter - which consisted of 3 small falfalel and a small salad garnish was £7.95....

Have been to Kimberley before and was looking forward to dinner post lockdown. It was very busy as expected and we had to wait a short while for the table we had booked. Order was taken quite quickly, though some items were no longer available...

I had some of the best food I have had in a while here. I am not normally a fan of a fish stew due to the risk of getting a bowl of severely over cooked seafood but what I got here was a delicious...

Have been here before and enjoyed it so chose to visit again as we were staying in Findhorn. Food was delish although disappointed that they no longer have their excellent chicken tikka. Really welcoming pub especially with the fire burning on such a cold day.

Stopped off for a drink. Lovely wee pub, with great views over the bay. Warming fire on a cold day, very good service.

Walked around Findhorn and booked this lovely pub for a meal. Delicious fish and chips highly recommend!

Due to Covid restrictions inside closes at 6 but there are a few tables outside but wrap up warm. Food us served in a take away box but is lovely none the less. Beer too is only available for drinking outside but the choice of...

We ate and drank at the Kimberley Inn a few time’s on a recent trip to Findhorn. Service is friendly, dogs are allowed, food is good and it’s a lovely place to sit - inside or out. We were really impressed with how attentive staff...

After a windy walk on the beach we arrived at the pub ready for a good meal, we weren’t disappointed. We both opted for fish and chips, the fish was white, the batter crispy and the chips were delicious what more could you ask for....

Went in on the off-chance after a glorious morning walking along the magnificent beach and found the staff and food to be wonderful.Booked again for two days later and had completely different food but the same delightful experience.RECOMMENDE WITHOUT RESERVATION OR HESITATION

Stopped here during the summer just after lock-down eased. Everyone working their way through the new rules, but fortunately no impact on the quality of food and service

Lovely place with fantastic view over bay. We decided to pop in past Findhorn on a road trip, had a walk along the bay then decided to go for a drink. We tried the Crown & anchor first but was greeted by the rudest man...

We had a terrible experience here. 1 completely ignored by serval staff on arrival 2 they had lost our booking but implied it was our fault 3 total fiasco over mask wearing 4 food very over priced for very average dishes 5 waiter had horrible...

Kimberley Inn accommodated our party of 7 people without booking on a busy mid-week evening at an outside table for which we were grateful. The evening was warm and the views were stunning across the bay on a clear, still evening (on a less clement...

Lovely lunch by the bay Great outdoor seating, and the service from the young guy was excellent. Cullen skink and the garlic focaccia were amazing

Have been a regular visitor when on holiday and have always had a great meal. I tend to stick to the mussels as they are devine.

Had a lovely day out at Findhorn beach and decided to have dinner at the Kimberly. Had the lovely veg curry and was served by joe who was extremely helpful both with service and things to do around the area!

We will not rush back here. The curry had four pieces of meat. The service was poor with young untrained staff. Pricey for what you get.

We all ordered fish and chips, they were delicious. Staff were not very attentive however they were very busy. Probably needed a few more on. We were also not given a soft drinks menu and apparently there isn't one. Making one would be very useful for customers. Nicely decorated inside.

Lovely service. Food awful. Absolutely tasteless. And quite high prices. So not work eating there. Drinks pretty pricey too.

Wonderful fish and chips, steak pie and great sausages. Good to also find a place serving Belhaven Best beer. The Sunak Special price knocked down a £70 bill to £34

Visiting with our teens this week we’ve been lucky with the weather and also spending our evenings at the Kimberley enjoying great drinks and food, inside and out. The Chicken Panang and Seafood Platter get a special mention

We had lunch here today and it was the first time in 5 years we could sit inside with our dog. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the menu and specials were a delight. I chose to have chips, cheese and coleslaw because I just fancied it. My wife had the vegetarian Thai burger with chips, coleslaw and salad. Our meals were delicious and my gluten-free allergy would not have been a problem had I chosen anything else they would have accommodated me. I must praise the decor as well, beautiful, everything sparkled and had added touches which made all the difference.A wonderful inn a 10 out of 10 from us all.

Four for lunch on a Sunday was not a problem and we found a number of empty seats in the small patio area at the front.Four meals were ordered and all came in a reasonable time. The seafood dishes looked very nice and if you call I would recommend ordering that. The ciabatta beef sandwich was a different kettle of fish. The strips of beef were tough and stringy. They were smothered in limp slimy onions and were on the cool side.The drinks priced for tourists and were slightly higher than normal but were welcome on a hot sunny day. The problem I had was I requested a small glass of water to take some medication and was charged almost £1 for the privilege. It was not special mountain filtered unicorn tears, it was tepid tap water so a nominal fee for washing the glass would have been more acceptable.A nice place for a quick stop but not sure if I would make it a regular hosting place

Popped in for lunch after a walk in the forest. The menu as always was excellent. I had a watermelon and feta cheese starter. You must try it! Followed by a huge bowl of mussels. Totally scrummy. Sat outside in glorious sunshine. Say no more! Perfect.

Went to Kimberly inn with friends for a meal what a surprise when we got our food I had mussels and what a lot there was my wife had fish linguine with friends having Buckie fish and chips and for pudding we had pavlovas and mars bar cheese cake the food was exceptional every mouthful was finished with drinks also the cost was £93 for four people well worth the money highly recommend this place to eat if you like sea food this is the place to go friendly staff and quick

We had a really lovely meal last Thursday to celebrate our Grandsons 18th. Superb food, lovely atmosphere and great staff. We are now home but would like to thank you for a very enjoyable evening.

Cutest Inn/pub overlooking Findhorn Bay. Truly beautiful location with wholesome and comforting food to match. Staff super friendly and helpful even though pub was really busy on a Friday evening. Fantastic choice of local sea food on offer too. Definitely re visit and well worth searching out if you are in the area

We were in Findhorn for 3 nights and were here every day. We had the seafood chowder for lunch one day definitely recommend absolutely delicious. They have outdoor seating which is lovely to sit with great views over the bay. Great selection of gin and fantastic service so all in a great experience

Went on for light lunch on Monday. Food was amazing great sandwich selection. I opted for warm ciabatta and prawns in marie rose sauce husband had warm ciabatta brie and bacon both served with home made coleslaw fresh salad and crisps, were delicious. Chatted to manager who was so friendly told her was my birthday/our anniversary and she gave us drinks on the house! Highly recommend this little gem which had an extensive menu. We will definitely be back.
