St Duthus Hotel Restaurant in Highland

Gezellige bar en goed eten. Prijzen voor de whisky's zijn zeer goed. Komen hier graag weer terug. Personeel is zeer vriendelijk.

Great staff, best place to go in this tiny dull faceless town, nice atmosphere and cosy decor, comfortable with a good menu and friendly

Friendly staff, good varied menu, prices reasonable and most importantly the food enjoyable. Need I say any more. Recommended

We were spending the day in Tain and rounded it off with a lovely meal here served by a very friendly staff member. The food was delicious, really tasty and we enjoyed very good sized portions. Whilst it is not the cheapest meal we have ever eaten ( and I am only talking about literally a couple of pounds here), it was 100% worth the cost and represented great value for money - I would aways rather pay a couple of pounds more for a meal like this than a cheaper one that was not up to this very high standard. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and when finished we knew we had eaten well, which is not always the case when you eat out these days. We will be back for more next time we are in Tain. Thank you! In summary: Top value for money Huge portions Excellent tasting food, very well cooked Attentive and friendly staff Very reasonably priced for what you get Will definitely return

Lovely staff, good food, great tea and coffee, good atmosphere. Very relaxing, comfortable and well thought out decor.

Fantastic food as always however the service could have been better and polite Didn’t even make eye contact Still worth 5 stars though

Can't fault the food, it was absolutely delicious, but the guy who served us was, well.... let's just say he gave the impression he didn't want to be there? It was like he was reading from a script and we got the bare minimum from him! Not very friendly and a bit unprofessional, especially as he started clearing the table of the condiments as we were still sat there. Without as much as a word. Not even any eye contact! Rude! Maybe we caught him on a bad day? Who knows? The food however is absolutely spot on, best haddock and chunky chips ever!

What a fantastic meal we had at the Saint Duthus Hotel. We were a group of 7 and we enjoyed some cocktails first and then all of us greatly enjoyed our different main courses. Their sundae’s for pudding were exceptional as well, really tasty. Kirsty, Yvonne and team looked after us brilliantly and we had a thoroughly enjoyable night.

The food is well presented & great quality. You do not leave hungry. The surroundings are tastefully decorated & staff pleasant, friendly & always close by if anything needed. Never disappointed with food. Alan & his team do a great job of making you feel welcome. All request were met with a smiley face thanks Melissa. Sorry I did not catch the other girls names who also helped serve us. Looking forward to our next visit

We came here as it was the last night of our holiday and the 2 courses had something for everyone. prawn cocktail and mushrooms to start was great. Prawns, and Chicken Sizzler for mains all great. My son had something form kids menu and the guy serving couldn't do enough, even said if you want more to him you can, and he did. Great food and great service. Thanks

Visited to try the set Sunday lunch menu. We were warmly greeted by a friendly Hostess/Waitress and seated in the lounge bar/restaurant area, which is inviting with comfortable seating, warmly decorated and has a real feel good vibe about it. Set menu on a Sunday; £16 for one course or £22 for 2. They’re was also a choice of 2 roasts, pork or beef. They offer a more varied menu Monday to Saturday, set menu is on a Sunday it seems. Prawn Cocktail starter; Was a large portion of fresh tasty prawns, sauce and salad which you put together yourself! It’s presentation was a little bit different and something you’d definitely remember, loved it! Roast beef was tender and cooked perfectly served with plenty fresh vegetables, roasties, homemade Yorkshire pudding and delicious gravy. We really enjoyed our meal and recommend to everyone to try the place. Will definitely be returning here again :)

Called in with the grandkids for lunch. Friendly staff, good food, good atmosphere. Steak pie and beef burger absolutely fab. Chips great and kids loved all their food too. Also serves a nice pint of Guinness.

menu has plenty of choice.food was very nice and well presented. the restaurant was very nicely decoratedand the service was great.

The Saint is one of our favourite eateries in Tain. Always a friendly service, a varied reasonably priced menu and pleasant surroundings. Our party of four thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Recommended

Very good menu, our selections were served piping hot and delicious too! The entire staff is very nice, the manager, Allen, went out of his way to make us feel like we were special, as I saw him do for all their other guests. Evidently, this is a very popular restaurant among the locals in Tain, and I can attest that it is a well-deserved reputation. I highly recommend this restaurant for a pleasant and well-prepared dinner in a nice, casual setting.

We had a lovely meal. The portion sizes are very generous . Staff are very friendly. We will definitely come back .

Stop for a quick lunch. Friendly staff but the interior (orange / pink / black) was a shock. Our party ordered tuna sandwiches and I ordered a cheese and ham sandwich. It was shockingly poor. Two pieces of dry bread (no butter) with a sprinkling of grated cheese and 2 slices of ham so thinly sliced I could see through it. I should have refused to pay £6.50. Expresso coffee was instant coffee frothed up! Not worth a visit.

This is another of our favourite dining places in Tain. The restaurant has ample parking, is attractively laid out and there is a good reasonably priced menu with ample dining choices. Service from Ashley was quick and friendly and most importantly our meal was delicious. Recommended

Small portions, I had a nice curry with a small cup full of rice (I mean small) and a nan bread smaller than my hand. Great if you want a taster. Managed to get one drink, but had an empty glass for most of the evening waiting for a top up that never came. Nice environment, nice tables, inexperienced staff. Eventually she found what wines they had and the Oz shirts was nice, at £6 a large (not that large) glass. Went back to the hotel hungry and sober.

Our last try of the day trying to find somewhere to eat! They had space for us and we had a lovely meal and drinks. Service was brilliant, friendly & efficient. Nothing too much bother. Menu simple but good. Plenty of outside/covered outside seating and in this weather that was a bonus. Everything lovely & clean & all Covid protocols followed. Restaurant with rooms - would stay here if visiting again.Only downside was the opening times - seemed to only be open at weekends and although open for lunch on Sunday it was closed in the evening but given current restrictions it is maybe what hours are best for them.

Past numerous time and today decided to stop for a bite of lunch , the interior is lovely with food and service to match Great COVID measures Great food Great service Will definitely be back

This is rapidly turning into my regular pitstop as I cycle through the area, the food and the service is excellent, you can sit in or outside in there large beer garden Looking forward to going back

On a day visit to Tain with the dog we spied the gazebo outside and we were lucky enough to get a table. My stomach is still groaning from the food and not in a bad way. Good food, well cooked and plenty of it. COVID-19 regulations adhered to. Wish I lived here because I would here regularly.

We dropped in on off chance last night, got a table, excellent service .friendly welcome really good food. Instead of looking around for another restaurant tonight. Guess what. We booked a table and went back , because food and service was that good. Only bad point is it's not local to where I live.

Stopping off from Skye to Dunnet, perfect pub restaurant. Limited menu but all very nice - really good chips, fish, hot dog, veggie burger... And a pulled pint - heaven. Staff were excellent!

Last went to celebrate my parents 60th anniversary. There was a large party of us including children and we could not have felt more at home. Such a relaxed atmosphere with a good variation in food, one dairy free and two vegetarians, was satisfied with the menu. All 28 meals was superb. An easy walk from tbe high street but plenty of parking too.

Another excellent meal sitting in a fireside seat on a cold winters evening. Staff as always very friendly, chatty and attentive. Meal was excellent and very good value winter specials.

This is a regular port of call when we visit Tain and they never fail to deliver excellent food at a reasonable price with first class service. Well worth a visit

Had their chicken curry with half and half-half rice and half chips. Have had it before often. A great staple. Washed down with a oint of Guinness Extra Cold. Comfortable surroundings and friendly staff. Difficult to beat.

I have eaten here over the last two weeks, due to being in town for work. The food is fab. And the service equals it. Nothing is too much bother. And the staff are so attentive and friendly. I think they have recently under gone a make over inside, the only fault I would say is that the condiments and sauces are served in something that you would expect to see in a road side cafe - but doesn’t alter the great food! (Oh and on the table there are these weird air plant - come - cactus - things. No need!) Great place and well worth the money. :-) (to add, i am a female travelling alone and felt very safe being in here on my own)

Restaurant was pretty much booked on a Saturday night when we arrived without a reservation on our trip up North but manager was kindly able to squeeze our party of 8 in before the rush.So glad it was possible!Great meal, great staff and great atmosphere!We’d visited about 4 years prior on another trip up North and so glad we decided to stop off again.Most enjoyable!5*

A great meal in pleasant surroundings. Good choice on menu, will definitely visit again on our next visit North.

This doesn't look much from outside but inside is warm and cosy with a warm welcome. Staff were great, food even more so. A lovely find during our stay in Tain.

Stopped in Tain for a late lunch on a quiet Sunday. This appeared to be the only place open but what a gem. Fabulous lunch: tasted great, generous portions and everyone happy, vegetarian and non- vegetarian alike. I recommend the nut roast which comes with a small vat of sauce.

This was a very nice set up. The waitresses were delightful. Good choice of things on the menu and generous portions. We had the Seafood Platter which was exceptional value for money.

Enjoyed our food at this hotel but we were only able to eat here once when the weather was good so we could sit outside with our dog. Reasonably priced.

Had a delicious lunch here with my husband. Sandra was very friendly and welcoming. The newly decorated surroundings are perfect, very clean and modern. We had the Brie and the steak pie and both were faultless. I would definitely recommend dining here.

Had a wonderful lunch here yesterday , staff excellent and as we had our dog with us we were asked to sit in the wee snug !! It’s lovely and the young waitress was so accommodating nothing was too much trouble . Definitely worth a visit

Sehr freundlicher Service, der zügig unterwegs ist. Normale Pub-speisen, typisch gehaltvoll, jedoch auch wohlschmeckend.

A few weeks ago the Rotary Club of Tain and Easter Ross met at the St Duthus for a Thursday evening meeting. We all chose from the standard menu. The portions were excellent, the food well cooked and the staff as friendly and helpful as ever.

We went for 1 night but stayed a week, good food, good beer and locals who are pleased to see you.

We had a family meal at the St D, and it was excellent! Good food, friendly service and comfortable surroundings. Highly recommended!

We are fairly regular diners at the 'Saint'. We have never been disappointed in the past and Sunday was no exception. There was a special menu for Easter Sunday with good options. Service from Alan and his staff was quick and friendly and our party of three enjoyed our meal.

Lovely meal at St Duthus. Friendly staff and good food. Lots of locals in which is always a recommendation in itself. Would recommend a visit if in the area.

Menu limited but good. Food is delicious. Staff friendly. Good value for money. Lovely surroundings.

We’ve recently become regulars to the Saint for lunch and dinner. Food is always of a high quality and at some of the fairest prices in the town. Lunch menu is fantastic with a wide variety of options. Dinner is also amazing. Huge selection of dishes on offer. Generous portions. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. We enjoy the atmosphere in the Saint. Also a good place to go for a drink. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. The place is a delight.

Decided to head into town to eat proper food for a change... had the steak and it was cooked lovely. A little too much fat but the whole experience means I’ll defo go back again. Staff were great too.

We stopped here for dinner on a two night stay in Tain and were not disappointed. The meals were substantial, freshly cooked and served by friendly staff. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we walked into the pub. We would certainly recommend a stop at St. Duthus hotel restaurant.

We chose to eat here because it seemed the only plain english option in the vicinity. The owner of the lodgings told us about it, describing it as like an over priced Wetherspoons and I think he hit the nail right on the head!

Had a lovely lunch while visiting family in Tain. The staff were very nice and looked after us well. The food was amazing - can even request half portions. Good selection on the menu. Would definetly recommend.

The food was excellent and the service adequate. The main down-side was the amount of cigarette smoke that came in the doors and windows from the outside seating area

We thought we'd give it a try after reading the reviews but were disappointed. My husband had the steak pie and was unimpressed with the pastry. My fish and chips were fine but my children's burgers were really small. Staff were really friendly and we didn't leave hungry but wouldn't rush back.

After being extremely disappointed with Platform 1864 the night before we thought we’d give St Duthus our custom. Turned out to be a great move as this place is a gem!

We chose to come here as it appeared to offer good pub food - and indeed it did. I had the seafood platter and my husband had the a huge piece of gammon. The service was friendly and pretty quick. The prices are reasonable and the menu quite extensive. Good value.

We needed a quick supper and didn’t dare want to eat at our hotel. On an earlier drive by the St Duthus, we noticed crowds dining outside so we decided to give it a try. The staff was friendly and engaging. The beer selection was good. The food was flavorful. My wife had steak pie and it was very good. Prices were reasonable. Families can eat here. The St Duthus is essentially a pub type restaurant. Also this is one of the only places to eat dinner in Tain.

Joined the locals to celebrate the Royal Wedding. Great service. Great food. Cold beer!!!! Meals for 9.80. We ate outside. Great day.

They mangaged to supply 15 people with a Broad variety of meals for lunch in short time. It was tasty, but we were too much im a hurry to enjoy the hospitality.

Stay here and eat here with work fantastic food but it was the steak pie for me it was Dynamite 100% recommend to anyone wanting to eat here breakfast lunch dinner 5*****

Visited the St Duthus last week for lunch and I was glad I did, staff welcoming, service spot on, food good value for money..... Speaks for itself...!! Well done....

We had a very nice meal in this pub/restaurant. The menu was varied including steak pie, fish & chips, lasagne etc. & good value. The food itself was very tasty with generous portions & staff were friendly & efficient. Later we had a drink & enjoyed our chat with the owner. Would recommend.

This is our second time eating here this week, wish we had tried it earlier, working in the area since November, tried lots of other local places,

The St Duthus Is one of our favourite places to have a meal in Tain. Alan and staff always give you a friendly welcome and service is first class. The dining area is attractive and despite it being a bitterly cold evening, the restaurant was lovely and warm. There is a varied menu on offer plus specials and prices are on par with other Tain restaurants.

I have now been here a few times and I find it a friendly and relaxing place to eat and if you hungry good portions staff are on the ball to nothing ever seems to fuss them you ask and it is done certaintly will be back

as a end of a great week in the highlands we decided to go out for a late meal but on going to the eagle in dornoch and finding it full due to a party we went looking for somewhere else to eat.

Recommended by locals we met so went for dinner. Wasn’t disappointed. Lovely wholesome food in huge portions that was delicious. The staff were fantastic and the restaurant a very pleasant space to eat in. Reasonable prices too. Later spent time in the bar talking to locals and the owner of the hotel. All in all a delightful evening

Lovely lunch here, fish and chips excellent. Lovely puddings. Quaint old worldly place. Nice friendly atmosphere. Staff very good.

Friendly service, reasonable price. Order steak pie and potato with cheese. Good sized portions and delicious.

Great staff and great food. Cosy atmosphere. Easy free parking too. Stopped here last year on way north. Lovely then and lovely still

Quick service, very good food, decent price. What more could you ask for. An easy walk from our Guest house.

We stopped here recently for an evening meal. We hadn't booked on a busy evening but where still able to accommodate us. The waitress (Iona) was excellent - nothing too much trouble for her, she was polite, friendly, efficient and professional. A real asset to this business. They provided a separate children's menu with colouring in and crayons for our wee one. I ordered a burger and my wife ordered the Hunter's Chicken. The chips and onion rings were great but the burger itself was thin and disappointing. The hunter's chicken portion was not particularly large and smothered in BBQ sauce.

We found this place after the restaurant in our own hotel was unexpectedly closed. Which worked in our favour as the food served here was second-to-none. The nut roast was unbeatable and the haddock was also perfect. All served by pleasant staff and good value too. Puddings were also delicious. Try the lemon pot with lemon biscuits.

We were visiting Tain and decided to try here for dinner, and were impressed with everything about here. Given a warm welcome and shown to a table by friendly staff. The menu was varied, my wife finally opted for the steak pie and veg, myself I chose the Tandoori Chicken. Both meals were quite large portions, as the wife couldn't finish hers. The lager was very nice too. After a little respite we decided to have a dessert, again there was a good choice and the portion sizes were very generous.We will definitely be returning again and letting our friends know of our wonderful experience here. There was plenty of parking spaces adjacent to the hotel.

We were staying at a nearby B&B and looking for somewhere to have an early evening meal. We were glad we chose this one. Good food and friendly staff. Reasonable prices and good beer! The steak pie was the best I think I've ever had, anywhere.

The steak pie was chock full of beef, and wifey's chicken and bacon salad was huge. If only the chips had been real... sigh.

Das Essen war ok, ziemlich fettig aber sonst in Ordnung. Die Lage ist gut. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zügig unterwegs. Die Auswahl für Vegetarier war ok aber auch nichts besonderes, also das übliche.

I proprietari sono stati gentilissimi ad accoglierci dieci minuti prima che la cucina chiudesse (le 21). Cibo ottimo e prezzi nella media, servizio molto cortese. Consigliato!

Wonderful food great staff wonderful atmosphere staff was really helpful and friendly the beer was great loads of selection of beers and spirits well worth a visit would definitely come back again

This is a lovely restaurant we were made very welcome the fiod was delicious home made food it was reasonably priced with a good plateful would highly reommend if in the area

My wife and I stopped off in Tain on our way from Orkney. We had a light lunch at St. Duthus and found the service and food to be excellent. The baguettes were really crispy and both had generous fillings. The baguettes were accompanied by a tasty side salad. If you are unfamiliar with this area, Tain has excellent parking facilities and is an ideal stopping point if you are travelling on the A9.

menu is excellent value they also have a kids menu all food cooked to order and beautiful can recommend. Jim.

Called in today for a quick lunch while passing through Tain on our honeymoon. Husband had the ham salad, I had the prawn baguette with chips. Salad fantastic - really crisp and fresh, prawn baguette full of luscious prawns and a nice side salad, chips fab too. Service quick and staff very nice and friendly. We'll be back!!!

Were recommended by our guest house to try this pub and we were not disappointed. Lovely fresh cooked tasty food promptly served by friendly staff, great value . Used by locals and tourists alike, no wonder it was busy. If in the area drop in, you will not be disappointed.

Stopped off for a quick pint after. Walk around Tain, quiet friendly bar!! Dogs are allowed in the outside seating area!! Good for a stop off pint!

A very good pub with a lot of locals eating there. Service was friendly and efficient. The meals were very good especially the steak and ale pie. Highly recommend this for pub style dining at reasonable prices. The night we were there they had a half price tasting of a very good Scotch.

We all enjoyed our meals. Loads of tea and fish and chips and chips. Service was very friendly and welcoming. No real complaints!

I had a nice lunch here good food served up nicely plenty on the plate all nice and hot nice pot of tea also

The service staff are charming,the setting unexceptionable and the food competent but not particularly noteworthy.

Myself, partner and our two year old daughter visited for an evening meal, we were greeted and allowed to pick a table of our choice. Friendly and helpful staff offering a high chair and crayons etc for our wee one. Great choice on the menu for both adults and children! Great value for money with great size portions and the food was perfect! would absolutely recommend it 100% child friendly!

Called in on off chance of getting a table on way back from driving along the north coast of Scotland on a particularly wet and windy day!Although it was a busy evening, we were quickly seated. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Nice selection of meals, very good quality and generous quantities. Reasonably priced. The accompanying lager was particularly enjoyable, according to my husband!!Will certainly call in again when passing.

Called in just on chance. Very good welcome and service. A good selection of meals to suit most people. A very quiet restaurant but staff were very helpful and attentive.

I had haggis, neeps and tatties. Delicious enough but it came with a sauce boat full of the most creamy, flavourful, gorgeous whisky sauce. To die for!The OH had fish and chips with real Scottish peas. No e of you Sassenach mush, thank you very much. He ate it all, not talking. Believe me, that's a compliment.We asked for tap water which came in these gorgeous glasses with ice. It tasted delicious too!Highly recommended.

Living locally we dine here regularly and it never fails, wonderful attentive staff, good quality pub meals with generous proportions and good value. Great for couples, families and groups. For a cosy winter evening get a table near the stove, you won't want to leave!

Ate here on our first night in Tain - it was the first place we came to walking from the Guest House & it was fine - décor a bit dated but there was a lively atmosphere with a big family gathering which was nice to see. Food was fine & staff were friendly.

Great place for something to eat/drink, lots of choice on menu , lovely staff and great place to take kids, or a catch up with friends. Highly recommend

A welcoming atmosphere,good food and friendly staff.Who could ask for more? They do the basics very well.Well done.

We ate here on a friend's recommendation whilst up in the Highlands visiting family. Good varied menu, good and friendly service. The food was okay but nothing special. There was lots of it which was good for people with a big appetite. Main thing is that it is good value if you are on a budget. I believe the establishment is on an up with a younger market starting to drink there at the weekend which could put some older people off eating in a noisy environment.

My Wife and I ate at the restaurant 2 nights in a row. The staff were polite and friendly. The food was large portioned and excellent. real value for our money. The staff was also very knowledgeable about wheat free and gluten free menu items.Becca really stood out as fantastic waitress, lovely smile and most welcoming attitude. "Thank you for the lovely Dinners"

Visited late evening for a 2-course meal with friends, not booked in advance. The staff could not be more helpful and produced delicious hot food and well-kept drinks in minutes. The vegetarian nut dish was excellent, tasted home-made with a really flavoursome sauce.

I just had a great lunch at this hotel. Very tasty nut roast with pepper sauce & chips. Pud was home made chrunchie cheesecake with ice cream & cream. Service good. Would recommend!

Just had an extra cheesy Mac and Cheese lunch and Americano coffee with Drambuie. What a wonderful location.
