Old Station Restaurant in Highland

Walked four miles mostly up hill specifically for food as I read good reviews only to find the place closed, even though it had open online, really need to get this updated.

Gute einfache Küche! Toller Beefsteak Pie, der Caesarsalat frisch aber schräg angerichtet, sonst wie das meiste in Schottland deep fried!

Wobbly table, not a great start. Service was okay, could have been better if we received a menu before asked for our drinks orders. Ordered the squid which was tough and the tartar sauce had a skin on it which made it look yellow and old. Had the macaroni for my main, a safe choice i thought. There was so sauce in the pasta and the cheese barely melted on top was oily and rubbery, usually i don’t mind a clearly frozen garlic bread with a good pasta… however to add a frozen side onto a poor pasta was not helpful with my feelings towards the meal. Not a single persons plate went back empty and half a steak (£40 or so plate) was sent back at the end. I’m hoping for anyone else that we went on a bad day but nonetheless it was extremely poor and a waste of money.

We booked a table at the Old Station Restaurant for the 10th of September. The restaurant is, surprise surprise, located at the Spean Bridge railway station, parking is limited and we ended up having to park on the road a couple of minutes walk away, which wasn't an issue but worth making people aware in case they have mobility issues. The restaurant is quite quirky, it really is an old station building which has been converted into a restaurant, they've done an excellent job too, it's rather amusing to sit there having your meal and watching the Caledonian Sleeper pull into the station on it's journey from Euston to Fort William. We both had the Steak Pie, I got chips, my other half went with baby potatoes. Both meals were excellent, no complaints. We really enjoyed our meal here and would return if we are ever in the area again.

We stumbled across this restaurant by accident due to our hotels location. Set in a remote location still a must for any visitor. The atmosphere, the building, the excellent food and the attentive owner and staff ended our lovely day come to a close feeling more on a high. Thank you

Consiglio di prenotare in anticipo: la prima sera non avevamo prenotato ma comunque ci hanno trovato un posticino. Il ristorante ha pochi tavoli, ma è molto molto carino, si tratta di una ex stazione ferroviaria riadattata. Il menu è tipicamente scozzese, ha delle opzioni vegane (molto buone) ed è sempre molto affollato, buona la selezione di birre. Mentre stavamo cenando, si è fermato alla stazione il Royal Scotsman (una specie di Orient Express per viaggi di lusso) che ha catturato la nostra attenzione, un piacevole diversivo.

Just arrived on holiday and called looking for something to eat. They were fully booked but managed to squeeze us in to the bar which we were grateful for. The food was absolutely wonderful as were the surroundings We will book next time. Definitely worth the visit

Family holiday and we ended up going twice to the old station restaurant as food was so good. We all ordered different starters and mains and there were no complaints, food was fresh and tasty and staff were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

We are regular visitors to the Old Station and it never fails to disappoint. The restaurant changed hands at the start of the season and Flo is doing an excellent job. Friendly staff and great food. Love the venison burger 😍

Une grande déception… Tout d’abord à notre arrivée la prise en charge vers notre table fut atrocement longue. Une fois attablé, nous découvrions le plus grand défaut du restaurant : le personnel. Pas un sourire, pas un bonjour, les menus nous on presque été jeté dessus, n’ayant pas très faim j’ai décidé de ne prendre qu’une entrée. Cependant lors de la commande la serveuse m’a regardé avec dégoût en me disant « Vraiment ?! ». Lors de l’arrivée de mon plat une partie de la soupe était renversée dans l’assiette. Maintenant parlons des plats, pour placer le contexte je suis venu en famille j’ai pu donc goûter à plusieurs plats. La bruschetta était décrite comme étant au basilique et à la tomate, et cela n’a pas empêché le fait qu’elle n’en contienne quasiment pas ! Le plat consistait en un pain Italien (qui n’en avais rien) et d’une quantité incompréhensible d’oignon, accompagné de 3 pauvres morceaux de tomate et 2 feuilles de basilique ! Il devait y avoir plus d’oignons que de tomates, basilique et pain réuni ! La soupe n’était pas bonne, je n’ai rien de plus à développer sur le sujet car elle n’avait rien d’une soupe de restaurant mais tout d’une que l’on peut trouver dans le commerce. Je ne comprends vraiment pas comment cela a pu arriver sachant que le restaurant est bien noté. La seul raison d’y aller et de profiter du cadre sympathique. Mais il faudrait qu’ils bosse un peu pour pouvoir considérer ce lieu comme un restaurant !

Locale molto carino e caratteristico. Menù variegato con specialità locali e veramente molto buone per quello che abbiamo ordinato. Consigliatissimo.

First time visiting with family since a change in ownership. No need for concern, amazing food and great service. Steak pie is amazing and the puff pastry crust thd best I've ever seen in years if travelling. Great choice of all courses and lovely desserts. Nice to see a local restaurant continuing to do well.

Very nice food, cosy restaurant done from the train station. Very nice professional workers. Overall a nice place for food with family.

Trotz dass das Restaurant ausgebucht war haben wir spontan einen Tisch bekommen. Die Bedingungen waren freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Atmosphäre toll. Man kann dieses Restaurant auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

This was our best meal in Scotland. The sweet potato tart was excellent! Our son tried the cajun chicken pasta, and we learned that it was a recipe our waitress had created. It's so cool the restaurant is willing to offer new ideas created by their staff, and it was really great! We don't usually eat dessert at restaurants but we had to try some of these because they sounded so good. We liked them all: Scottish tablet ice cream with cheesecake (photo attached), white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, and the brownie (photo attached). Our waitress was so nice and helpful, and the location is really cool too right along the train tracks. We really loved this place from food to atmosphere! Highly Recommend!!

Disappointing. Lovely set up and lovely staff, however the food is so over priced for the quality. We paid £20 or near enough for a fish and chips which was unfortunately tasteless. The service was polite and friendly but slack at times. For example our...

Stopped here for our lunch on the way to Invergarry on holiday. We had parked in the car park in Spean Bridge so it is a short walk up the road from there but there are some car parking spaces outside the restaurant. The food...

Really nice place with good food. We had a lovely meal.Definitely worth a visit but is very busy. Booking recommended.

Went here for dinner after a hard trek. We were hungey,so we ordered starters and a main course. Let it be said that the serverings were huge. Even a huge man like me was challenged and could not finish The food was good for the...

Don’t know where 4.5 stars come from, must have paid for them! I can’t comment on other items on there menu but I ordered a mixed grill and to be honest you could get better from Wetherspoons at half the price, only thing worth the...

Locale molto caratteristico(una ex piccola stazione ferroviaria). Servizio cortese e veloce. Menù e pietanze varie per soddisfare tutte le esigenze....

Worst food I've had for the price...utter sh**... service was superb and layout was brilliant... but the wall would give way under the shear thrust of my (rare) steak... chicken was dryer than francie boyles humour and the gammon was to die for ... said...

Left a bit disappointed after reading all the really positive reviews before going here for dinner. A very busy restaurant, recommend booking. Very slow service during our meal due to staffing issues that evening, we were left with our finished plates for 15+ minutes after...

Old Station Restaurant Spean Bridge Clearly on the right tracks and we have definitely booked a couple of return tickets! 899485474 We have just discovered the most amazing wee eatery/bar should you ever find your selves, when ‘en route’ in the area of Spean Bridge...

Have been here twice in two months and both times were great. The restaurant is clean and modern, the staff are lovely and the food was excellent. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Last minute walk in, and was was dealt with in a most professional manner, My friend had the Beef burger, I had Venison burger, Food was so delicious, an black pudding complemented the venison delightfully. Glen Spean Snowgoose was an exceptional beverage, Highly Recommend place!

This rates as one of the worst dinner experiences . Apart from the fish everything was cooked from frozen nothing having prepared in house . Our calamari starter was tough served with an unpleasant from a bottle salad dressing the prawns were much the same...

exceptional service and great food with a good choice of local beers i would highly recommend you book as it can get busy

Outstanding meal--one of the best we had on our vacation. Two of us had roasted salmon and vegetables, another had chicken pasta and finally, my husband had carrot soup. All were just great. The salmon, in particular, was exceptional. I like but don't love salmon....

My Wife & I dropped in on the off chance of getting a table on a very busy night on Saturday 13 May 23. We were met by Flo “ Florence “ the owner, all the tables were booked but she offered us a table...

What a find this place is! Wife had venison burger and I had the steak pie. In 50 plus years of “red meat” eating and five years plus of restaurant secret shopping, this is the BEST steak pie that I have ever had! Washed down...

This is an excellent restaurant., great staff, great food, lovely atmosphere. Catered really well for gluten free diet, including sticky toffee pudding ……wow! don’t often get that great choice for a pudding. Highly recommend a visit if you are in Spean Bridge.

A great restaurant with fresh local foods and really kind staff! We had a 3 course diner with main course a ribeye of local cows. It was grilled perfect by the chef Jason! If you're in speanbridge this would be the place to go! Thanks...

Warm friendly welcome with amazing fresh well presented food. Huge bonus being dog friendly. Highly recommend if in the area.

We had starters and main . I had a wonderful leek and potato cream soup and hubby had smoked salmon . I had a chicken Caesar salad and hubby had a venison burger. Both mains and starters were excellent and generous portions . The atmosphere...

Lovely food. Great service waitresses very nice. Would recommend the venison casserole really good . Busy and Beautiful place. Would go back.

Great food and service. Had Camembert wedges and then Mac and Cheese, with garlic bread and salad. It was simply perfect. I was with 14 others at noon-ish, and the waitstaff was friendly and efficient. Highly recommend. The building is interesting and it’s an ideal...

Where else can you have such good service and the chance of sighting the Hogwarts Express? Venison stew and Balmoral chicken are not to be missed.

Lovely diner! Great service and the cook James got me convinced to try the haggis. Loved it!! Best in town! Try the local Spean ale too. Lovely

5 of us visited for a late lunch/early dinner. Greeted by Clare who was friendly, efficient and accommodating - we did have a bit of a laugh with her. Beautiful and interesting restaurant with top quality food and generous portions.

The food was very poor. My starter which was a “special “ prawn cocktail was a glass dish of thawed prawns and half a jar of cocktail sauce. The “special “ venison casserole was made with tasteless gravy and tasted of flour. Fortunately my sons...

Used to be a great spot. But, courtesy and friendliness has gone. Some of the staff are very nice but a few are extremely rude, discourteous and don't know the meaning of hospitality. Bar and restaurant were empty this evening but asked twice to leave...

Best restaurant in Scotland. The entire family liked their meals and desserts. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and the sticky pudding was fabulous.

This is definitely the best place to eat in Spean Bridge. There was a really good menu and the food served was well presented, tasted delicious and reasonably priced. Busy restaurant so definitely worth booking. Staff all very friendly.

The place is really nice, clean and beatiful. Great adaptation from the station. Is expensive and is not worth the price. I payed for a piece of steak, almost 30 pounds, and it was very regular.

Was at the Station Restaurant 28/11/2022, for a wee birthday treat, and I certainly was not disappointed. The Restaurant is a beautiful converted Railway Station, set on the west highland line in Spean Bridge. Great setting inside with a roaring open fire, such a homely...

Dropped into the restaurant early one Saturday evening in November. I had the fish and chips, it was without doubt the best fish and chips I have had in either a restaurant or pub ever. The fish was so fresh, cooked in breadcrumbs, served with...

This restaurant is awesome. Wish I lived nearer as I would be a regular visitor. We stopped here on our way to Skye to celebrate our Daughters 40th Birthday. The food was wholesome & plentiful and the staff were superb - attentive & friendly but...

We had dinner here recently, whilst staying in the area. The service was very friendly and pleasant, however, the food was very poor. We both had the soup, which was nice, but the bread roll was stale and inedible. The steak was poor quality and...

I am only giving this place a 5 as you can't give a 6 on TA. Really warm, fun team with a great attitude. Food is home cooked and delicious. Perfect place to relax and eat after a days hill walking.

Visited with some family and had a great time. Fantastic choice of starters and mains . Prawn starters and Delicious succulent chicken and haddock so fresh it must have been caught today. Florence and her team gave excellent service , very attentive and knowledgeable of...

We found ourselves in the unfortunate situation when we had to wait for substitution transport and our breakdown truck left us at this restaurant. It was late but they welcomed us and were so helpful with helping us sort things out. They even reopened the...

Very busy restaurant with friendly staff and good food, plus good beer on offer. Would recommend if you're coming to Spean Bridge. Think it also might be the only place open past 5pm so recommend booking to make sure you get a table.

Original (ancienne gare), service rapide, réservation indispensable en haute saison, prix raisonnable, La carte est classique. Les plats sont bons...

we were almost put off by the nasty replys given before . but glad we were,nt . our b&b said these are new owners . had venison pate and venison casserole and they were both very good. busy place but did not wait long ,good...

Arrived for dinner and was greeted by the wonderful Clair. Nothing was too much bother. She directed me to the bar and Christina made sure I was sorted for the right beer and single malt. The new owner Flo was sparkling and on her game...

We arrived at this restaurant full of expectations - since it has a 4.5 rating on most reviews platforms and was recommended by our B&B host - but after a very short and disappointing dinner, we came to the conclusion that something is off. The...

We ate here in August - such a great venue and atmosphere. Staff were brilliant - alas the food we had was a bit disappointing. Perhaps we were there on an off night.

Wish I had found this before the end of my holidays.. Great selection of pub food with some great beers.. Food portions were more than enough and deserts absolutely delicious .. staff were very attentive with prompt service and delivery of food. Will definitely be...

Attentive staff, good selection of traditional pub food. Busy, so you need to book ahead. Views of station.

Very, very friendly and accommodating staff. Nice location and a cozy restaurant centrally located in Spean Bridge with local flavor provided by a Scottish mountain pony and rider. Despite all these niceties I can not recommend the restaurant unless you want to sample their local...

Had 2 lovely meals this week , the staff are very friendly & helpful great menu , great location and will certainly return next time here

Had a last minute meal at this lovely place. Really friendly and efficient service. Food very good too, local beers available.

We had such a great eveing in this place - lovely food and a very funny waitress who had us in stitches. Very memorable evening.

Entering on a cold, wet evening into a cosy atmosphere, an open fire and a warm welcome. The meals were very good in every respect and the Staff friendly and efficient.

Sehr gutes Essen und sowas von freundlichem Service, wir haben uns einfach rundum wohl gefühlt. Tipp: das lokale Lager- Bier...

This place is in a nice location. The food was not great, the Balmoral chicken was way too spicy and almost convinced the sauce was ready bought in. Red cabbage over cooked and was almost a pale burgundy colour. The calamari was supposed to be...

We popped in to the old station restaurant for some drinks and maybe a bite to eat. The place was full but the lady who greeted us very kindly directed us to a table where the people were just leaving. We were content to just...

Lovely location on train station platform. Delicious food and very friendly staff. Good value for money. Book in advance to guarantee a table.

very busy restaurant, worthwhile booking ahead, good menu and good local beers. staff and service excellent

Menu easy to find (+download) on Google, but changes to reflect season and what quality stuff is available at market, which is always a good sign. Choice is relatively modest but carefully constructed to give enough variety in both starters and mains. £25-£30 a head...

2nd time in here and what a great evening, staff was on top form and very welcoming. food was good also, defo be back! on 1st name terms by end of night :) thanks again for letting us stay in car park with our camper...

Definately need to book in advance. This old station building is a lively & welcoming pub & restaurant. The staff were super friendly & constantly checking all ok. Service was speedy & efficient. Nice choice of menu with additional specials board.

Good food and the people were so nice, it’s like we were old friends. The food was good too!! It’s a little hidden gem when you are driving in Northern Scotland. Would eat here again!

We stopped here for dinner on drive north. Service was quick and efficient and food is good. Steak pie and venison casserole both good. Does what it says on the tin! Would stop here again.

Amazing hospitality and a lovely place to stop for a brilliant meal and cosy atmosphere! Also run by amazing people!

If you eat in Spean Bridge you must go to this restaurant as it is phenomenal VFM …the food was really tasty with large portions and the service was both friendly and professional …I couldn’t recommend it highly enough

A really lovely local restaurant! Super friendly staff. The menu was lovely and the portions were big! The food was to an excellent standard. I can highly recommend the prawns for starters and the venison burger with haggis for the main course. It was really...

After a car accident left us stranded, we found ourselves here. The most welcoming, kind, warming place we could’ve hoped for. We stayed for 5 hours with a hideous amount of luggage, yet we were treated so brilliantly, just like family. When we can get...

We always head to The Old Station when staying at Burnbank Lodges, Spean Bridge as it is within walkng distance & we always get great service & a god meal there.

We visited this restaurant as a family group of 9 people and were warmly welcomed and accommodated by the staff. Excellent food particularly the Balmoral Chicken and the Surf n Turf special, but real effort was also made to make the children feel welcome including...

We visited last Friday on the last evening of our autumn Scotland trip and even though it was not our first time at the restaurant it was our first time visiting as a big group of family and friends. We visited for a birthday and...

We were luck enough to come across this little Gem. Food was fantastic, the restaurant and bar were beautifully set out, log fire burning too. Staff so friendly. We will definitely come back. Thank you
