As someone one else has pointed out, it’s now called the Spey Inn. Was there earlier this week for lunch as in area and parents recommended it from a visit a year or so ago. It was quiet but we got a friendly welcome from the two members of staff. My parents commented on the size of the menu which has apparently changed and did seemed limited in choices. 3 of us ordered the Cullen Skink soup. It tasted fine but not much fish ands lots of potatoes. Three of us then had sandwiches, the Club sandwich was very good, well filled with bacon, tomato etc and was tasty. Me and my mum both had the egg mayonnaise sandwich. It looked different in that it was 2 whole slices of toast which I thought may have been included in the description. That said I can live with this, however what was very unusual and disappointing was the quantity of filling in these two sandwiches. It appeared that there was a smear of egg mayo as in the quantity of butter you would spread on a slice of bread (and in this case it was spread onto 2 slices of thick toast). Without exaggerating it appeared that 1 egg had been used to fill 2 sandwiches . The salad that accompanied it was nice and the fish and chips the other member of our group had was apparently good. We did mention it to the server who said he’d mention our views to the chef, but it just seemed odd. We also mentioned to a member of staff at an early stage of our visit, that there was no soap in the gents toilets (you could clearly see the soap dispenser was empty when you walked in), however when leaving some time later this had not been rectified, despite the fact the restaurant was not busy. It wasn’t a cheap lunch and it was fairly disappointing overall. Unless this was a one off, don’t think I would return.

Very disappointing lunch today. I am a Tour Guide and have been using The Copper Dog pub for client lunches with American guests for years. It has always been known for great food, until today. 2 x Fish + Chips was awful. It tasted like a badly cooked Brakes meal, the batter was like rubber. The menu only had 8 items on it. Very, very disappointing. If this continues I will use The Mash Tun instead..

We have been to copper dog many times but dont think we'll be back. Very disappointed with menu, very basic, nothing like the menu was before. When going out for a celebration you expect something better than a school lunch menu -sausages, steak pie, fish! They had run out of broccoli so some meals came with cabbage, definitely school lunch vive. There was 1 steak on menu that came with chips but nothing else-no sauce or sides. When going out I expect something different and more exciting than we have a home especially when steak pie is £16.50 and you buy the pie at Dawsons for a 1/3 of that price. Chef must be soooo bored cooking such a basic menu. Never again!

A lovely dinner at The Spey Inn - formerly the Copper Dog inside the Craigellachie Hotel. Cozy, contemporary pub space with a lively atmosphere and excellent food. Don't miss the upstairs whisky bar (near hotel reception) and it is open to nonhotel guests too. Would recommend booking a table for dinner, as the restaurant was quite busy and popular among locals and tourists alike.

Visited to make a reservation for dinner for my birthday. Was disappointed to find limited choice for gluten free options. F and B manager stated there was limited choice of 7 options of which up to 50% were gluten free. Additionally F and B manager said no chicken option as it was too expensive!!! Options were: Fish and chips, steak, Burger. I live in Peterhead I can have best battered fish there!!!

Just average. A bit characterless scottish twee. Staff friendly but poured a 175 instead of 250 wine, which at the per glass charge was annoying. Salmon starter was good. The steak pie was dry and flaky although the vegetables were OK. My wife had the haddock and the gluten free batter was terrible. I get really annoyed with places that slap 12.5% discretionary service on the bill. Why not add to the cost or pay your staff better. This is a nasty US trait that has no place in Scotland. Service is Service and is in the eye of the beholder.

We went after purchasing an itison voucher. Two courses plus two drinks for £39, which turned out to be great value. I had the haggis bon bons and my wife had the salmon to start, both delicious. Main courses were the haddock and chips and double burger and fries, both equally as good. Beautiful hotel and restaurant and the staff were very polite and friendly. We would definitely return.

Popped in to the Cooper Dog now the Spey Inn last week as we couldn't get in the Mash Tun. The staff were excellent, warm, friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. We cancelled our dinner booking at the Mash Tun on the back of it and had dinner the next night which was excellent again, high quality and in a lovely atmosphere. We returned for drinks on another two occasions. The young people that looked after us need to be commended for their efforts and the management for selecting people and installing a great attitude to service. Well done all at the Craigellachie, we will be back again the next time we are up in Speyside. Best regards Ken Scott

We went in to get a later lunch on a Saturday with family. They started by serving us 3 pints of the most rancid, vinegary Old Jock I have ever tasted. I find it very hard to believe that it had gone that badly off over the course of one day. The barstaff replaced them with other drinks with no fuss, but I was dismayed to see that when we went to the bar to pay, the pump clip was still on, implying that they were still serving this awful beer. The food was OK - not great, standard pub grub, but at fine dining prices. Their veggie selection was quite disappointing. Then to add insult to injury they slap on a 12.5% service charge, which I don't recall seeing anywhere on the menu. We were a group of 4 adults and 1 child, so hardly a large party. Really not impressed.

We tried to book a table for 11 guests, consisting of family and friends, the night before a wedding. We phoned almost 3 weeks in advance to try and book, since tables of 8 or over cannot be booked online. The first time phoning we were told we would receive a phone back shortly, after they had spoken with the restaurant manager to confirm the booking. Over 24 hours later there had been still no response, so we called again and was told the same thing, they would chase it up and get back to us with confirmation. Another 48 hours went by with no response. We then phoned again to check up on the booking only to be told the restaurant manager won't make a decision on the booking so both the member of staff and ourselves were left in limbo. Left infuriated at the ignorance and lack of service just trying to book a table we decided we would no longer like to book with them since our custom is not appreciated. We have went to the copper dog (now named the Spey Inn) for several years and loved it, however we will not be returning due to this huge disappointment and rude response. The bridal party wanted to spend their last evening spent before marred life with family eating good food in nice surroundings in one of their favourite local restaurants/bars, but what a disappointment that turned out to be.

The service was slow with no attention to detail. Our food was served after two other tables that arrived and ordered 20 minutes after we had sat and ordered. Then we were asked what we ordered. My burger was well overcooked and the husband's beef pie had claggie pastry, not flaky or inviting. The gravy was over salted. We would not return.

Fabulous spot. We sat inside as it was a bit cooler but outside on a nice day would be lovely too. The menu has something for everything, we all had the panko breadcrumbed haddock, home made chips, homemade tartare sauce and mushy peas.....gorgeous, fresh and beautifully cooked. The staff are delightful, helpful and smiling! Beautiful traditional setting. After lunch my guests, from Australia, went across to the Craigellachie Bridge. Simon is a Pipe Major, so he piped us across and back. Perfect end to a lovely lunch.

Popped in for lunch today, our first visit having driven past many times. The restaurant had a lovely cosy feel to it and the initial welcome by the staff was warm. Our meals were really nice, piping hot and very generous in size. Attentive service throughout the meal, and we felt well looked after. The bill had the service charge included and we thought the price was good value for a lovely meal.

After a nice welcome by the young waiter we were handed the menus for food and drinks. It went downhill after this, took a while for the order to be taken, young waitress with very little communication took our order, the food arrived quite quickly but was bog standard and incorrect. I asked for no tomato but with peppercorn sauce but the burger arrived with tomato and no sauce which I had to wait an extra 5 minutes for. We also then had to wait again for the cutlery which we had to ask for. Meal wasn't checked back on, plates left on table and we went to the bar to pay. Very disappointed that to see 12.5% added onto the bill for service that wasn't at a great standard. We then had to wait for change from the till which left us hanging about the bar area. It wasn't busy and I can understand why if this is the quality they provide. We won't be rushing back.

We have stayed at the hotel in the past and have also had dinner. We were passing at lunch time and thought we would check if they had a lunch menu. When we entered, the restaurant had one busy table and one table in the bar area. We asked if they had a lunch menu and were told yes but she would need to check if they could accommodate us!!!! After a while we were told we could stay, I asked if we could sit in the bar area. The lunch menu was a full dinner menu. We wanted a sandwich at best. We plumped for the soup and ordered some drinks. My husband was given the wrong beer and we were charged a service charge. We were made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome and wouldn’t recommend to anyone just passing. Definitely not the same service we have had in the past.

We were staying in the Hotel above, so this was our default place to eat/drink. Great bar for a pre meal drink or a drink before going out in the afternoon. Unfortunately sarnies were not possible - missed a trick there for sure. I had been here a few times 18 months ago, but it seems to have gone back a little as far as the food is concerned. Perhaps the alternatives in the immediate vicinity being so poor has lulled them into it.

My partner and I went here specifically because he wanted to surprise me, nothing could be further from the truth. They took a very long time to serve us what we asked for and the place was empty. The sandwich they gave me was burnt, the haggis balls were over fried and poorly presented and my partner's food was just as tasteless. Of course we will not go back and I could not recommend it and more for the price paid. It's a shame the place looked nice and comfortable environment.

We recently visited for my birthday meal out as we came here over a year ago and thought the food was fantastic. Sadly things seem to have changed. The Tomato and Chickpea soup sounded nice on paper but was uninspired to say the least - consisting of a tin of chopped tomatoes, a tin of chickpeas, some undercooked onion and little spice or seasoning. Served alongside a well known brand of supermarket sliced toastie loaf. Main course for me was a burger which I asked to be cooked well done due to me being 34 weeks pregnant but was still served pink and not overly hot. Sent it back and thankfully was sent a much more cooked version, alongside an apology-sized portion of hot Fries, which would have normally gone down if they weren't from the freezer aisle. My husband and mother-in-law opted for the chicken and beef fillet dishes, which were very decent portions but sadly were only just warm when served. Finished off with a bowl of very fake strawberry ice cream which reminded me of my childhood. To finish on a positive, the atmosphere of the place seemed good and lively for a Saturday night. And the lovely waitress didn't charge us for the burger. Hopefully if we visit the area again that things will be different and we'll have a food experience similar to the previous year.

The setting and internal layout is lovely. A really welcoming atmosphere. The menu was good but in my opinion a bit pricey for what there was. I couldn’t fault the food at all. I had the macaroni and lobster. Lovely juicy chunks of lobster. Our...

Excellent choices and cater well for non meat eaters and other dietary requirements. Food is based on local produce where possible and the staff were very friendly. Good selection of beer, wine and spirits also (especially if you like whisky)

The staff were charming despite being very busy. Our meal was delicious; a very tasty risotto and perfectly cooked cod. The side salad was ridiculously expensive at £7.00 for a bowl of lettuce leaves. I had a partridge starter for less in another Speyside establishment....

Hyped, and underwhelming: acceptable food, but lacking flair. Friendly but amateurish service. Overpriced for sure.

Excellent pub/restaurant with great food and really friendly staff. Even made our pooch feel super-welcome! There was a bit of an irritating TOWIE sound-a-like but this was nothing to do with staff and she left before we did. Thankfully!

Stumbled upon this farm shop and cafe while looking for a late lunch. Lovely menu with sandwiches, soup, jacket potatoes etc. All food freshly made. We had ham sandwiches and a slice of cake, all of which were tasty. We ordered a child meal for our 21 month old son which consisted of a sandwich, few quavers, grapes and cucumber slices and a small chocolate bar (that they gave us after he ate his main meal, which was handy!). There is a big play area for children with lots of toys. The farm shop was well stocked and seemed to have a steady trade. On the way out the lady at the till said we could take some cabbage leaves to feed the cows with, which I’m sure was the highlight for my son (and hubby hehe)!
