Kimberly Inn Findhorn in Moray

We had dinner last night and it was excellent. The portions are large and the food is good quality. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. We always visit when on holiday and will definitely be back soon.

Disappointing, cramped tables, poor food, no atmosphere. Definitely gone down hill as it used to be so much better. The staff however were friendly and trying their best.

Good menu realistically priced. Very large portions ! Good bar and friendly staff. We ate mid afternoon so we’re happy to be serving all day food!

My wife and I had a nice enough meal in the Kimberley recently, but thought that the service was a bit lacking. No one told us that table service was not available and we had to order from the bar. The food was nice enough.

We really enjoyed our dinner at The Kimberley Inn. It was cold and drizzly outside and the fireplace was raging, which felt great. The place is small but not stuffy and the service was friendly. We had the Carlsberg Pilsner and started with the salmon cakes and chowder - both were excellent. For main courses we had the salmon entree and mussels - So. Many. Mussels. Again, both were really nice. For a small place their menu is extensive and eclectic - not just the usual Scottish fare. I highly-recommend it!

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.

We’ve been holidaying along this coast for years and always visit Findhorn. And whilst we are there we love heading the Kimberley.We were lucky enough to get amazing weather and initially sat outside for a drink, taking in the stunning views of Findhorn Bay, whilst the dog sat in the shade under the table.We then decided to stay for dinner and headed inside (great that they allow well behaved dog in the bar area).The have numerous delicious specials on the blackboard as well as the menu.Staff were extremely welcoming, food was tremendous as ever.Hope to be back soon.

I have been here lots of times and absolutely love the food. I have had several dishes and would recommend anything on the menu as it’s always been fantastic. An amazing place to sit and watch the bay with a beer or glass of wine.

We have eaten at the Kimberley inn over the years, however, it’s been about a year since our last visit. I had the haddock and chips.... unfortunately I was disappointed as it was quite greasy and my husband took one of the chips and grease dripped from it. I did leave the rest as I wasn’t enjoying it. No... I didn’t complain... could have just been an off day.

Stopped here last night and went in to ask if dogs were welcome they are. Only intended to have a drink but after seeing the food and menu we had supper! Everything freshly cooked and so tasty. We will be back again soon.

i was taken by the amount of choice here. nice atmosphere in there though, food looked good. Best 'pub' we found there and dog friendly.

Keep coming back here just for the homemade chicken tikka I'd book if you want to make sure you get a table as it's a busy little spot and fills up fast

We visited the pub twice in one day - once for Sunday lunch and again in the evening. The food was consistently great, we went with friends for lunch and whilst could not book a table for only 4 we did not have a problem finding one. There was nothing to moan about as the food was good, the drinks reasonable and the staff whilst working hard were always smiling. Well worth a visit

Having an early spring break in the Findhorn, Elgin / Lossiemouth area we arrived here for lunch!! The bar / restaurant was warm and cosy with a large open fire. The menu was varied and the fish dishes were wonderful. The restaurant area is dog friendly and all the staff welcomed our two dogs in without and restrictions. Highly recommended. Great food and atmosphere.

Not the same as a couple of years ago but why? Difficult to tell. Service still ok. Menu ok but perhaps lacking wow factor. On a busy Sunday lunch it seemed odd for the bar staff to be cleaning brasswork and dusting shelves.

We called in on a wet day unsure if we would be ok to eat as we had my stepsons puppy with us. The bar staff welcomed us in and even produced a bowl of water for the (very well behaved) puppy!

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon looking for some hearty food. This is exactly what we found. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. A wall filled with specials greeted us upon arrival. My husband and I both chose the slow cooked brisket in red wine gravy. It was as lovely as a dish I'd tried in Paris once. The brisket was soft with so much flavour, creamy mash and perfectly cooked vegetables, it was divine. There was also a large selection of gins to choose from. My only regret was not trying the Mars bar cheesecake. If I'm back in the area again in the future I'll definately be coming back here.

My son and I visited The Kimberley after a walk on the beach at Findhorn. The service was excellent and friendly. The portions are good but there seems to be a lack of passion to the food. I stated with calamari which was well cooked and tasty. My son had scallops wrapped in bacon. I followed with chilli and rice served with cheese and taco shells that was okay but nothing special. My son had a burger that he enjoyed.

Findhorn itself was a lovely little place. The Kimberley Inn was situated on the coastline, overlooking the bay and offering some stunning views.

Been here several times over last four months. Excellent food and again friendly staff. Good rest after a walk along the beach in the sun.

A cute pub used by locals and visitors. Probably best to book a table as it can be very busy. Order at the bar and food is served to your table. Excellent pub grub and a beautiful view over the bay from the front room.

Came to the Kimberley Inn on Sunday for a family meal. Got seated very quickly and staff were so friendly. The lady behind the bar explained the specials menu and was very polite. Meals were fantastic and the portions were big (what we like) :p deffo recommend Kimberley Inn and deffo be back again.

I was in Aviemore on holiday and had a run out to Lossiemouth.

We have visited the dog friendly Kimberley Inn many times over the past 3 years when on our annual walking holiday with our dogs and have written a good previous review for this Inn. However, our visit on 17th October 2018 was spoiled by their poor quality scallop dish at £12.75 per portion (3 oven baked scallops completely overwhelmed by thick bacon, oozing a white residue). As the bacon was the dominant product the description of "Scallops in Bacon" was misleading, it should have been "Bacon with Scallops". The manageress's off-hand retort to our criticism was "when we are busy, we don't have time to pan fry, so this is what we do do"! Not good enough Kimberley Inn and not what we expected after our good previous experiences of seafood and customer care. An apology would have been easy, but none forthcoming. We shall have to think hard about returning there on out next trip to the area.

Man sitzt auf kleinen Hockerchen an viel zu kleinen Tischen. Die Essensauswahl ist in jeder Kantine größer. Der Service war nicht auffindbar. Die Toilletten spotteten jeder Beschreibung. Nach 30 min. sind wir, ohne Essen, wieder gegangen und wechselten ins nahe gelegene Abbey-Inn dort war alles bestens.

Lovely warm welcome and a prime location, the food is excellent, though very pricy in my opinion over £7 for a Halloumi salad and the children's menu is not great.

I came to Scotland to visit a friend, and to look after her dog when she took a holiday. I have never met such a friendly and intelligent dog, and it turned me from a dog tolerant person into a dog lover. When she came back, she took me straight to the Kimberley Inn from Inverness airport, to thank me with a meal. Our reunion was spoiled by the rudeness of the staff. At first we were told to shorten the leash, because the dog was drinking from the water bowl, which was away from our table. We did that, and as we began to chat about how well the dog had behaved, the owner came up to us and was very rude to my friend, because the dog, so pleased to see her, had sat on the plastic covered seat next to her. As he continued berating her he said "no place would allow a dog to sit on a seat", my friend no longer wanted to stay, so she asked for her money back. We were refunded £25 cash.

Good food, lovely ambience. We’ve dined here many times but there is no attempt by the staff to make you feel welcome. I have never felt any personal service here. Felt like an outsider & maybe that’s intentional. Locals appear to love it.
