£7 for a pie, however jam packed and delicious! Bought some for home, they tell me they’ll freeze and give you a little leaflet about reheating at home. The problem is… they were eaten way before we got home. They were so good.

Called in twice for pies and once for coffees. Had heard from friends about the Larder and we weren’t disappointed. Great selection of pies to take out and was always busy at lunch times. Lovely helpful staff - even provided gravy to go with takeaway pies. A definite go too when In Lochinver.

Can’t believe such a place isn’t dog friendly….fair enough but the female member of staff was quite rude about it. I was told I could sit outside….again fair enough but it’s quite shabby and not what it looks like on the website. It’s not even that nice inside. The pie was £7.45 on its own,I could have had it as a meal with for £16.95 so that’s 9.50 for the pleasure of potato’s and peas😂. What a rip off. The pie wasn’t even that good. Cracking marketing tho!

Very busy, with lots of choices of home made pies, popular with locals and tourists alike. I had local scallops, with chips and salad, and my mate had the chefs special of scallop, smoked mackerel and Cullen skink. All very tasty.

We visit the Larder each summer on our west coast trips. We opted for two savoury and two sweet pies to takeaway. One smoked haddock and cheese sauce, one chicken and haggis with sauce, one peach and apricot and one apple and blackcurrant. The smoked haddock pie was amazing, the best ever. The pastry was lovely too. I’ll definitely keep my eye out for this tasty pie on future visits. The chicken and haggis pie was lovely too, both pies moist and packed with filling, great sauces in them. I’m not keen on sweet pies but we enjoyed them too. The peach and apricot pie was perfect for me. Price wise the savoury pies are about right for the weight. No shortage of fish and meat in them.

I have visited the Lochinver Larder for over 30 years when on holiday in this part of the country. This time we had someone with a celery allergy with us when we called in for some takeaway pies. We gave our order to a young member of staff pointing out that a particular pie was for someone with a celery allergy. They said they would check with the kitchen. They came back looking rather abashed and said that it had celery. We suggested an alternative and obviously unwilling to go back into the kitchen she looked at some papers and said that the Venison pie was ok. The pies were taken from a cabinet where they were pre labelled rather from the counter where they were loose. On serving the pies for lunch we discovered from the ingredient label that the venison contained celery. I don’t blame the mistake on the individual staff member I felt that they had not had proper allergen training and got the distinct impression that they were not being properly supported by their colleagues. In our case this just lead to disappointment but in other cases could have been much more serious.

After a walk up to see the Falls of Kirkaig we were peckish and we had heard such good reviews of the Lochinver Larder. The pies are superb. We had a smoked haddock, a vegetarian one (broccoli and cheese possibly) and 2 sweet ones, an apricot and peach and a cherry, chocolate and dark rum. The pastry was unbelievable and the fillings were all delicious. It was made even better as we sat at Achmelvich beach to enjoy them. Hoping to be back in October.

The title says it all: pies filled to the brim and hot throughout, friendly and attentive staff and large selection of pies (both savoury and sweet). I would 100% recommend coming here if you get the chance, I’ve been coming for years and I always leave with a full stomach and a smile. The offer the chance to either sit in or takeaway and you can have the pies either as a meal with potatoes, peas and gravy or as a light meal with salad and coleslaw. They also offer other menu items that aren’t pies so there’s something for everyone here. If you’re planning to sit in then be prepared to wait as there’s not a lot of tables and it can be busy, but you can always take the pies away.

Unfortunately, despite the website and prior research telling us that they were open until 7pm, on arrival at 6.10pm, we were informed that the kitchen stopped at 6pm and the only thing available was cold pies and drinks. After a long day of travel and very few other options, this wasn’t what we expected. It would help if the website were accurate.

I had a fantastic vegan sausage ciabatta (one of the best in my life - onion marmalade and fresh crusty roll were to die for) and my hubby had a steak pie that he said was amazing. We came here six years ago and so happy to see that this business is still thriving.Hoping next time to see a vegan pie? A vegan haggis, neeps and tattie one would be awesome!Would also be nice to have the minimum order for pies by post reduced to 6 rather than 12 as 12 is a lot of pies....

Had heard great things about this place and arrived on a Sunday evening 30 minutes before closing time only to be told that no sides were available, only hot or cold pies. How long would it have taken to make some gravy or peas to have with a pie?I ordered a Chicken Curry pie and my partner had a Chicken and Ham pie. They arrived shortly after. The pies were a good size and had plenty of filing but were quite dry (gravy would have solved this).It was disappointing that the full menu was unavailable despite being within opening hours.

A bit pricey but we had our pie as a late breakfast and didn’t need anything until our evening meal. I will be ordering some by post and when I’m next on the NC500 I will definitely visit again.

Visited early evening in June and when we ordered out pies were told no sides were available which was disappointing. We felt Lochinver Larder were missing a trick if they were not serving accompanying sides at present. However looking at other reviews from June, it appears other diners were served sides, so if they were simply sold out on the night we visited we were certainly not told. The pies were good but would have been better with sides, especially gravy.

Couldn’t get a table at Peers and we were disappointed as not really into pies. However we are so glad Peets was booked as this place was fab. 3 of us all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Sat outside by the river and near the quirky takeaway. I had the vegetarian spicy butternut squash and goats cheese, my husband had venison and cranberry and my sister had mushroom and chestnut. We had mash with it, peas and a delicious gravy. All excellent. Totally stuffed afterwards but could not stop eating it! Dog friendly too. Don’t miss it!

The pies here are really excellent, there’s no denying that. But the manager walks about telling customers what to do, he probably thinks he’s being helpful but a smile wouldn’t hurt, without that he just comes across bossy. We asked if there was any intention to open inside now that catering has opened up and he said there’s “no demand”. While we’re sat outside freezing cold on wet benches and our food is going cold, he still insists on shutting at 6pm when this is really the only food and drink option in the village and leaving everybody outside to freeze. He could literally just open the door to the dining room inside, maintain the same service wagon outdoors to order your food and we would be happier and stay longer (if he was willing to open past 6pm!). He also needs to learn to put his mask over his nose, no use with it just over your mouth.

Visited Lochinver on a rainy day during our stay up in Nedd, and just had to try the Lochinver Larder pies after so many recommendations. The best pies I've ever had (alongside The Skye Pie Cafe) in my opinion! Great variety to choose from (we can definitely approve the venison and cranberry and pork and chorizo). Having peas and mash as sides was also a big plus. Their specials menu of local seafood also looked amazing too.The staff were wonderful, so friendly and couldn't do more for you. Even to a group of (very rude) cyclists- offering to top off their water bottles for them while they waited for their orders.Fantastic queue/order system all done outdoors and socially distanced. Orders can either be taken away or you can use their outdoor seating area.We will definitely be back on our next visit :)

We were recommended this place by the Kylesku Lodges host (where we were staying, amazing place), so we stopped to buy some pies to take away. We were greeted enthusiastically and the menu and ordering service was explained to us. Not only did they do pies to take away but lunches also. Well I was sold when he mentioned scallops. We stayed for lunch and bought pies to take away. The scallops were the best I’ve ever had. They were superbly cooked and so sweet and delicious. Later that evening we heated up the pies for dinner. They didn’t let us down either. Absolutely full of meat and superb.

Worth every Penny - consistently superb. We visit this excellent pie shop every time we are in the area, the last time between lockdowns in Sept and since then a mail order for Christmas. Pies are packed to brim with filling and the new addition of the Christmas pie is superb. Yes, they are more expensive than cheapo alternatives but they are a different class altogether. If you want substandard buy a production line one from the shop up the road, if you want a nice filling and hearty meal get these. We’ll be back later this year if travel restrictions allow!

I have been to the Lochinver Larder on several occasions as it is in an area that I frequent for trail running and hiking. The pies are absolutely divine, with many different flavours. I enjoyed the outdoor ordering and dining facilities, that were implemented due to the Covid-19 restrictions. I like being outside, especially when there are such terrific views. Not sure what that will be like now that it is winter! (last time I was there was early Oct). Friendly and polite staff.

We both had a hot drink and the roast pork/apple sauce brioche.The bun was soggy and almost falling apart, the pork was lukewarm and fairly tasteless. All the flavor came from the apple sauce. For £8.50 per bun the amount of food we got and the quality was very poor.We also felt that, as the Larder was operating as a take away service, the overall price of £22.90 for 2 buns and 2 coffees was ridiculous.The saving grace of our experience was that it killed some time (due to the longish wait for cold food) in Lochinver seeing as there was not really anything else to do with our day.

Although the pies on offer at this eatery are good, the fact that there is no vegan pie option is disappointing. If Greggs can make a vegan sausage roll, surely you guys can make a vegan pie?!Also, in line with other comments, closing the restaurant and forcing people to eat outside or in their cars if they have a take-away is not great. How often in Lochinver is the weather going to be good enough to do this, and even then the midges will get you!

So disappointed that yet another example of an eatery using covid as an excuse not to have tables inside and toilets open. Many places smaller than this can operate safely inside. The weather was wet and windy today, there were no queues but a few people (some of whom left when they realised it was takeaway only and went to the little coffee shop in the village). I think there is more chance of slipping in the mud or the wet flooring than catching anything here! This system maybe worked in the summer but surely no way can you do this through the winter. Need to get restaurant opened up. Pies were nice but nothing special. I wouldn’t come specially for them

We stopped here on a wee road trip as we are on holiday, based in nearby Ardmair for the week. We stopped off in the morning and it was a little wet so it was lovely and quiet. We picked up a hot drink and some cold pies to take back to the chalet with us. It was quiet, so hard to judge during busier times, but service was efficient and pleasant enough.We had our savoury pies for our dinner last night, chicken curry and the chicken, chorizo and manchego pies... both were lovely and you get a very decent amount of filling.Apple pie and peach and apricot pie to look forward to some other day! Can't wait.The non-pie menu looked good and if anything like the pie fillings, I'd be happy to assume the food is very tasty.

Lochinver was in the teeth of a storm when we visited so there wasn't really an option of sitting in the beer garden overlooking the bay. More a case of grab a takeaway and sit in the car.

It's a shame the website doesn't tell you that you cannot dine in. We drove over an hour to buy from the truck and had to return to the car to eat due to the rain. Take away pie X 3 and a filled roll with drinks and one brownie - over £40 which we thought was a bit steep for take away. Lovely pie but shame it's not the eating in option. It was still busy.

Having heard how good their pies are we thought we'd treat ourselves. There is a large picture menu as you enter to lure you in and they look scrummy, but no prices. These are to be seen inside at the counter and come as a bit of a shock. Still we're on holiday so we bought 4, all cold for heating later. Strangely my veggie pies was the same price as the meat. All the pies were packed, the pastry spot on and tasted OK, but for the price not very big. The take away packaging disappointed too.

When planning our trip to Lochinver Larder for some pies, we made sure to get there before closing (triple checked the time online due to COVID), but when we arrived 20 mins before close they informed us the kitchen was shut - no mention of this online. Make sure to take this into consideration, we were so disappointed after a day of travelling and rushing to get there in the first place.We went back the next morning and got some warm pies and cold pies to take away as well. The chicken, mushroom and leek one was amazing!! We made sure to get some dessert ones which we warmed up on our campfire (wrapped in tin foil) later in the day, and they just weren't as good as the more savoury filled pies.We were happy to try the pies, and happy to see they were still open!

Great experience with no negatives to say about this place! Really glad we stopped here for lunch on our NC500 trip. There was a good variety of both savoury and sweet pies on offer, meaning there is something to suit everyone's taste. We ordered two pies which were the venison and cranberry pie and the steak and ale pie. Both were lovely and bursting with meat inside. Well worth the price. The tables outside were organised perfectly to accommodate social distancing with lots of room between them, making us feel super safe. Would definitely recommend to anyone doing the NC500 to make sure they stop here!

I had no idea this place was called the Lochinver Larder: to me and my circle it was simply the Lochinver Pie Shop, so I can't comment on anything apart from the pies! I have only ever bought pies here. OK so they are good pies, better than most shop bought pies, convenient to take away and munch in the open, and they come in a great variety of fillings. I enjoyed my lamb pie and the fruity one although my other half was less impressed with her squash and goat's cheese pie that overdosed on the cheese and went light on the veg. I have no complaints. The prices are reasonable. If you are hungry and in the area and want a satisfying snack, a Lochinver Larder pie should do nicely.

The restaurant is closed for redevelopment and Covid-19 but they are still currently serving hot and cold pies (also seafood and other local produce and alcohol and other drinks) from a temporary unit - order food and drink - they bring it from the kitchen - there are tables outside overlooking the loch. The pies, which may seem quite expensive, are great value on quality and taste. We visited 2 days and enjoyed pork & apple, venison & cranberry, steak & ale, apple & raspberry, apricot & peach - pastry and fillings superb and no sogginess. Pies superb so we'd like to return to savour the atmosphere and service in Covid-free times. Planned redevelopment looks magnificent when it's finished.

Lochinver Larder always looked busy so prepare to wait. The outside seating area has nice views of the water. I had the steak & ale pie, it was alright but I don't get the hype. Prefer my local haha

Main restaurant closed due to COVID, but they have set up an outdoor space which is more than fine (assuming its not raining!) Ordered two savoury and two sweet pies with two drinks. Bill ended up over £20. As I went to sit down, I started to get annoyed at having paid so much for pies.HOWEVER - once the food arrived (a short 10 min wait as they heat to order from the main kitchen), I had no issues. The pie fillings were PACKED with actual meat/fruit. As such struggled to finish our savour pies and eat the fruit pies 4 hours later at our hotel.Well worth it.

We've been to Lochinver Larder a number of times when anywhere near Lochinver. Delicious homemade pies as you explore the stunning scenery of Assynt. What's not to like?This summer with pandemic restrictions, it's takeaway only and a new seating area outside - with a view to Loch Inver. The pies are varied and delicious with the best pie pastry I've ever eaten. I'm partial to the Poached Salmon while family love the cauliflower/broccoli and cheese or butternut squash, sweet potato and goats cheese but any of them will be delicious. We took some back to Ullapool to have another meal and they heated up beautifully . The apricot and peach pie was delicious too.I think they are very good value for money for the quality. I thought so too on previous visits when we had a full meal with the pies in the restaurant. Excellent website with more information about their expansion plans and also some interesting information about people in the community. I enjoyed reading the individual stories.

Two pies ordered one steak one chicken both excellent both devoured-packed with meat and a sweet crusty pastry what's not to like.Bit pricey but it's a cost worth paying to try these famous pies.

Visited this place when on holiday by recommendation from another visitior. We were a party of 6 who all ordered different items from the menu. Every pie we had was delicious and the fruit pies were very tasty. Definitely worth the long drive to get there.

Visited this place last year for the first time and glad to be back here this year again. During our 1 week long visit to this region this year w went to have some food at Lochinver Larder 3 times. We tried most of the pies and some sea food too and all were of the top quality. Due to Covid-19 crisis only card payments were accepted at that time, but on one day when terminal was broken cash payments had to be made. Would definitely visit again myself and recommend to anyone visiting this region or doing NC 500 route as must visit / must eat place.

A group of friends and i came here for lunch and it was superb. We had a mix of pies and seafood that was on offer. The herb crumbed Haddock in a brioche bun was superb and the venison and cranberry pie was amazing. Would definitely recommend going for either!

The pies were very nice indeed, tasty and deep filled. The prices are on the high side for what is essentially just a very good pie but then prices are high in the Highlands. The ciabatta sandwiches are similar, expensive but very nice with plenty of filling.

Just the best pies ever. Sweet and savoury and they’ve adapted to the covid crisis and can still serve some cracking food.

Very tasty pies to take away. The only reason it is not 5 star is because there was no gravy or extras with it (mash/chips). Would go and visit again for a full on sit down meal, but due to the current crisis it is take away only.If they deliver to Northampton, sign us up!

Very impressed with the COVID19 measures on our recent visit. The click and collect army truck is a great idea. The pies are delicious and the view over the Loch from the outdoor seating area is great on a sunny day.

We were worried that our favourite pie shop would be closed given the obvious state of the world, but were very pleased to find that it was open on our trip to the highlands this weekend. Pies were great as usual, and perfect for our walks

We stopped off here for lunch. The pies were fantastic. Haggis, Neep’s and Tatties pie served hot was brilliant! You can do a click and collect in advance which would reduce your waiting time

Used the Click and Collect service to order pies before eating them in the garden. A very good set up to maintain the current social distancing requirements. I had been in contact via Facebook prior to visiting just to check opening times etc and they were extremely helpful. The pies were amazing! I would definitely go back!

We know the Tongue area very well, and like to eat locally, so it was obvious we would decide to eat at the Craggan, and i'm happy we did! The restaurant area is welcoming and clean, staff friendly, and the car park was easy even with a big van. The only problem was choosing from the menu! So many tasty things - i wish we had more time to visit again.. All three of us enjoyed our food, and we shared everything so i know it was all delicious. Thank you for making a rather wet evening so special..

I recently had the pleasure of spending a delightful day at Dores Inn, and I still find myself reminiscing about the experience six months later. Nestled along the shores of the iconic Loch Ness, this charming inn offers a perfect blend of stunning views, a warm atmosphere, and exceptional service. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a lovely ambiance that sets the tone for a relaxing visit. The inn has ample seating, both indoors and outdoors, making it easy to find a cozy spot to enjoy the picturesque scenery. We opted for an outside table, and it turned out to be the best decision of the day. The views of the loch were absolutely breathtaking, providing a serene backdrop for our meal. Speaking of the meal, I must rave about the food—simply sublime! I usually find coleslaw unappealing, but Dores Inn's homemade version was a game changer. It was fresh, flavorful, and complemented our dishes beautifully. Every bite was a testament to the culinary care that goes into their offerings. After our satisfying meal, we joined a Rib-Boat journey on the loch, which was an exhilarating way to experience the surroundings. The thrill of speeding across the water, combined with the breathtaking views of the loch and its mythical charm, made for an unforgettable adventure. As a memento of our day, I couldn't resist purchasing one of their handmade crochet teddies of Nessie. It's now a cherished keepsake that brings back fond memories of our visit. To wrap up our day, we took a leisurely walk along the shoreline. The tranquility of the loch, coupled with the stunning natural beauty surrounding us, was the perfect ending to a fantastic day. Overall, Dores Inn exceeded my expectations in every way. From the lovely atmosphere and great views to the delectable food and friendly service, it’s a place I highly recommend. If you're looking for an exceptional day out near Loch Ness, don’t miss the opportunity to visit this gem. I still think about that wonderful day, and I can’t wait to return!

This was a lovely experience, the food was not ' swimming in grease' as i saw from another review, but it was great to see that the more recent reviews have been validated. We went here for my birthday at the end of october and honestly everything was really lovely . the service was great they were so friendly from the getgo, the charcuterie board we had for starter was very filling and diverse just wish they would have told us what the cheeses were ( i think the brie was from tain though it was familair) but thats a minor niggle that we had no info. the main courses were fab the skin on chips were AMAZING , and its a dog friendly place which we loved , we dont have dogs but we did get to pet some which made our day !
