The Granary in Moray

We went in for a drink only and bumped into a friend. We were then joined by another friend and were having drinks. About 2245hrs we were very abruptly told to drink up or they would take our drinks from us, as last orders had been called earlier. we had been provided a round about 2230hrs and were the only people left. Their stated opening hours say closing at 2300hrs. Perhaps a little better communication from the 'apparently senior staff member' may have prevented our leaving feeling so disgruntled and demonstrated they understand the meaning of hospitality. The result was one of our group stating they would not return. Communication is everything

Great evening was the spoilt at the end .We were told last orders at 10.45pm then approached very rudely at 10.50pm by a member of staff & told to drink up & get out. The then staff member lied saying we had been told last orders at 10.15pm which was untrue as we ordered a round of drinks at around 10.25 & was told nothing about last orders. My server was Ella who was very good & had nothing to do with the end of evening experience. Very poor customer service from the senior member of staff! She really needs to learn some customer skills! I do not appreciate members of staff intimidating customers under any circumstances.

Elgin / lossie veterans breakfast club meet every 2 weeks

Visiting for the day definitely recommend food is amazing

Mysigt ställe med massa trevlig öl och god mat. Även hundar är välkomna, till en viss del av puben. Jättegod mat, och bra vegetariska alternativ. Man kan välja bland smårätter om man inte är så hungrig. Väldigt trevlig personal!!!!

Good lunch options and served at good timing

Out for my birthday 🎂 meal with friends... COULDN'T complain about anything... lovely and professional service and food beautiful 😍.... Returning again before Christmas 🎄... Thank you SO much for making it an INCREDIBLE experience... HIGHLY recommend 👌 xxx

Lovely scampi for lunch, good prices and great service. Thank you!

What a treat at lunchtime! My wife and I have just experienced one of the best 'lunch dates' ever. We have been married over 40 years and have in that time had many meals out. However, today's was exceptional and the staff in The Granary can be rightly proud of the service they provide. As soon as we walked in the door, we had a warm welcome from Lisa who showed us to the very comfy seating. My wife had Hunters Chicken and I had the Bellhaven Steak Pie. Neither of us could fault either the food or the service. Initially, I was doubtful as to whether or not I could finish what was a very generous helping. However, not a morsel was left! The pie was very well filled with the most tender and lean pieces of steak and the flaky pastry on the pie was delicious. My wife's chicken was equally well enjoyed and we shared a bowl of onion rings as a side dish. The chef's name was Keith and our lovely waitress was Lisa. We will be back!

Went for the roast dinner unfortunately no ingredients had been delivered, so no roast dinner, but there was no notification on the door to inform you of this. Happened to visit when Celtic was playing Falkirk not our sort of establishment.

Super nice pub. Service is pretty on point. Friendly and hardworking Food is reasonably priced. Very tasty and varied. We'd love to come back!

The food here is brilliant. Staff are very friendly and helpful. They always make a fuss of my wee one which just makes his day. Locals are friendly too. Highly recommend to anyone.

We were up here on holiday and were having a wander about town when we found this cool place.At first we thought it was quite small,but on further inspection we discovered the upstairs seating which had a cool vibe to it.The downstairs decor was bright,vibrant and very warm and welcoming as was the barstaff that greeted us as we entered,which made us feel welcome.This was a lovely place.We didn't eat on this occasion as the food stopped a little early,but what we saw looked lovely.Will definitely pay it another vist.

Very warm and welcoming, dog friendly pub. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was hot and well cooked . A very nice pit stop.

Had a great meal here, chicken tacos and pulled pork tacos.

Had been for an explore around Elgin and stopped for a drink. Staff were friendly, and there was a variety of drinks to choose from. Bar and seating was clean and not too busy.

Fish and chips one of the best I’ve tasted, staff were also excellent. Will definitely come back

Very delicious food, good service, totally recommended. The cookie dessert.. 🤤🤤

Music a bit too loud for it being dinner time. Not impressed that the pizza my child was served was just a Chicago Town microwave pizza. Staff running about like headless chickens and could do with assigned areas so that 5 different servers don't all one after the other come to ask if we need to order or if everything is fine. Rest of the food was good, just could be a bit hotter

Lovely food, but I struggle to pick something I want from the menu. We ended up seating ourselves, even though a sign at the entrance says to wait to be seated. We hung around like eejits while others came in and just chose a seat, so we did too! Nice decor as recently refurbished. Busy on a Wed evening. Only just managed to get a table for 2 around 5pm. Maybe worth booking.

Dog friendly. Staff were pleasant and knowledgeable.

Really bad food, got the sharing platter for two people and it was tiny. Staff said it was average portion size but it was 4 chicken strips that were thinner than my pinky and overpriced. Toilets are messy and not clean, nearly 150 pounds for food that would just about feed two.

Very good staff very nice and friendly

It's £6 for a pint. London prices. The barman spilled the pint and didn't top it up. I took my glass back to the bar when finished and said thanks In front of 3 staff and was completely ignored. Maybe they hate English people! Go to the wetherspoons instead. . Inside has nice decor lots of TVs.

Had a nice Katsu curry today. Very tasty as usual. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Even given a nice Box of chocolates a card for our anniversary

😂😂😂Awesome breakfast 2day before we went 2 macmoray. Gary was awesome doing all the work and liza ross did all the talking lol.😂😂😂

Great food, quiz was on and had a good vibe.

Enjoyed a nice meal reasonably priced.

Very nice place with typical Scottish dishes. The saltines that accompany the dishes are very sweet and can become not very pleasant.

Popped in for a breakfast whilst waiting for a train, excellent value.

Came for a quick bite and decided to order the Chicken and leek pie and the Beef pie although the specials for the night for 2 mains for a great price. The pies hit the spot! Service was basic but not unfriendly.

Always good food, friendly helpful staff.

Nice pub and very popular in Elgin.

We stuck to the tables. Service was completely ok.

We had two very tasty vegan Beyond Meat burgers in a wonderful atmosphere and good music. We recommend!

Great food, fantastic decor, friendly staff. Can be rather loud (TVs) especially when the football is on. My favourite meal is the chicken and leek pie with fries. Loving the new dessert menu!

The food is great, and so is the service. It's always good to be there. I'm never disappointed. 2 of my favourites down bellow. 👌 UPDATED REVIEW: After they reopened once they were done with the renovation, it's lacking on availability of ingredients, and it seems there an ongoing miscommunication between the staff serving costumers and the kitchen.

Waiting 20 mins because it said to wait to be seated but turns out you just sit down. Disorganized. Ignored by employees. Had to ask to order. Ordered the food, didn’t get what I had asked for, asked the food deliverer and she was rude and short. So went up to the bar to ask about it. Safe to say, I won’t be back and recommend everyone to stay away.

Had a reduced menu no grill or fryer. Portions were tiny. Still hungry when we left .🤮

Very nice helpful staff food good

Great meals and brilliant staff, really looked after us.

We visited this pub on a weekend, and it's always a bustling, happening place. There were screens for watching football matches. We tried their beer, which was excellent. We also tried their Hunter's chicken, which included fries, onion rings, chicken, and salad - it was a perfect meal. We enjoyed the weekend to the fullest.

Very good food and a large selection in the bar, friendly staff and good service

Breakfast a little bit dry, U knew it wasn't fresh

Very pleasant day at the Granary the staff were helpful polite and friendly

Excellent lunch , usual great service from Liza and the girls and guys

Nice place, staff great and food excellent!! xxx

Nice pub with a nice atmosphere, games are organized on Sundays 👍 End of service a little early in the evening to eat!

Nice place and bar staff are really nice 👌

Good pub grub, served well at reasonable prices

It's a bit like a wetherspoons but better. I had the hunters chicken and it was very good. The service was very good and very quick and Cornelia gets a extra star. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the toilets are not in Tipperary.

Great food Great service Great drinks Clean and funky interior Toilets fresh n clean.

standard bar with sports haven't eaten there for a lomg time, but the wife got a plate full of fat for a roast beef dinner very disappointing but good selection of beers

Went to the granary a few weeks ago, was an excellent atmosphere foe me as a wheelchair user, access was perfect as was food and service.

Food was absolutely lovely and the service was great and the staff were very friendly. Would highly recommend

Went out for our first wedding anniversary for lunch, first time since the refurbishment and was really impressed :)

Stopped off spur of the moment at the weekend, and was pleased to get a table. Unfortunately the Sunday roast was sold out (we will come earlier next time) but the menu had plenty to choose from, and good deals throughout the week. We ordered burgers, and they were delicious, and filling. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the tables were clean. Everywhere had nice decor and a bonus in the ladies loos were Scottish fine soap seakelp! Love the stuff. We will definitely be returning, thanks

Got to say best breakfast I've had in years

We popped in on Chrismas Eve for a family meal. 7 adults 2 children. We had pre ordered meals from the Festive Menu. Table was ready for us arriving but set for 5 adults 4 children. Didn't think too much of it at first. Syagg I formed us thay there had been a prime with delivery so the kids desserts we had ordered werent avaible, no problem we picked a different option. But then the meals started coming out, the kids were aerved first (which is how every meal should be done! In my opinion) however one of the adults meals came out as child portions. Staff returned it to the kitchen to be replated as an adult meal. We had 6 Christmas dinners 3 had broccoli but no parsnips, the other 3 had parsnips, but no broccoli. When I asked a member or staff why I was informed that the delivery had been short and as we were the last festive meals of the day the chef had split what veg was left over our meals. Felt this was a wrong seeing as they new we were coming as all food was pre ordered but wasn't going to let it affect out evening. Just as we were finishing our meals a plate of parsnips was sent out, I said we hadn't ordered this. Memeber of staff took it back to the kitchen bit returned a few minutes later with it again and said it was made for our table! We took it to make sure they didn't go to waste, however they weren't fully cooked so seems like they'd rushed them to try rectify the shortage of veg. So whilst I appreciate that they did try to make up for the lack of veg, I would have preferred to have been Informed when we arrived and maybe have the veg brought out on smaller side plates for us to decide who wanted what. Issues aside the food was ok, staff did a great job and it was a nice relaxing atmosphere!

Friendly staff and good food. Highly recommended

Very enjoyable atmosphere, had the football and the darts on and quick service, 10/10 would go back and would recommend.

If looking for a big plate full avoid

Family visit in the run up to Christmas. The pub was busy but Alex managed to get us a table for 7. Well looked after throughout. Reasonably priced food and drink which was ordered promptly and delivered promptly and was tasty! Despite it being busy in the run up to Christmas, there were no drunks or idiots in the pub. Recommended!

Great atmosphere and fantastic staff

Loved the wallpaper; great first impression. While the staff were dealing with a lot of the evening ingredients being out, they were prompt, helpful, and apologetic. They were friendly and attentive. I have food intolerances so I often have to order something without ingredients and restaurants nearly always get the order wrong. They nailed my order even with multiple similar items ordered at the table which is very rare. I will absolutely be returning. Excellent dinner with friends made better by The Granary - cheers to their staff Monday night 11/12/23

We had breakfast with santa here today and it was an amazing experience. The staff were great with the kids and couldn't be more helpful. The breakfast choice was great even for picky eaters/fussy kids. There were many different characters to keep the kids entained until santa arrived. Overall great time, will definitely be booking again next year.

This is the first time I've been in since the refurbishment, the new look is amazing. The food and service is better than before and the katsu curry does not disappoint, this still lives up to its reputation. With the Festive season well on its way the staff are all jolly with LIza in full swing enjoying dancing, singing greeting everyone who comes through the door.

Come for drinks and snacks with friends. Do not expect to be wow'd for the food or service. Went on a Thursday which was a discount on the 8oz steaks - thin little things that were over cooked. Staff was nice but missed several things.

Was in yesterday and the katsu curry did not disappoint, the new decor is beautiful and toilets are lush and very clean all the staff were very welcoming and our server Lisa is very jolly and clearly enjoys the Xmas season singing and dancing can’t wait to be in for our staff meal next week.

Went for a treat food wasn't that good I used to go here a lot but this time it was disappointing portions was smaller bit cold chips was limp looked like reheat and price was higher they had difficulty with the drinks machine but didn't switch it off still selling refills when the drinks was flat no fizz

Only got a tea ok atmosphere good place to go while shopping

Atmosphere and the bar set up is bang on, friendly, cosy and amazing staff

Just been in for lunch and I’ve got to say, what an amazing job everytime was doing, no wait at all. Staff were so friendly Food was amazing it was the best burger ever and the brownie was awesome

Good food, staff were excellent and first class, will definitely be back.

Staff were amazing and really friendly with my 2 little ones. They made me feel really welcome instead of a burden like some places do when you have little ones. Food was really tasty too

Fun quiz on Sunday night, Highly recommend :)

Excellent staff, food and decor

Good food and fair price, lovely atmosphere and staff.

Not great to be honest. Food should have been garnished as per the menu but it wasn't. When this was queried we were told that we should have asked for the garnish when ordering. The menu didn't state that nor did the staff when ordering. Poor!

Fairly busy with some tables available. I wanted a burger but they had none left ( I was there at 1.30, so thought that was unusual!). Had fish and chips. It was assumed i wanted garden peas rather than mushy (there was a choice but I wasn't asked). The food was alright, somewhat bland and basic. Not overly generous portions, average chips, not piping hot though. Service was pleasant enough, the decor was nice, toilets clean. Football was on all the TV's around (some booths even had a screen) which I found annoying; not everyone is interested in listening to that in the background and it's an assumed position that everyone likes it on. It's your average pub, handy for a late Thurs lunch but not much else.

Nice redecorating, unfortunately the food seems to have paid the price . some issues with the food but the lovely staff took care of it as soon as we told them

Well, it’s not awful, beer is still expensive, foods still good but the place isn’t very clean. There’s only 4 decent staff members i’ve met that know how to do their jobs, the manageress Liza is a total sweetheart, the gothy glasgow girl (i forget her name, maybe Caitlin) is hilarious, the bouncer Louise makes me feel safe at the weekends and DJ Paul is just fantastic. Besides the food being good and those few members of staff, it doesn’t have a lot going for it anymore. It always feels a bit dirty and unclean, some of the staff have terrible attitudes, there seems to be a few issues with fridges breaking and warm beer but electric faults are nobody’s fault but the sparkles. It used to be my go-to place but not so much anymore because for every good staff there is 3 more bad staff and that is not a gamble i would take. I wish we could bring back some of the old staff such as Sam, Ebony, Chevon, David, Leigh, Jack but it is no good to live in the past so hopefully the staff will become my friends

I just love this place, Staff are excellent, very friendly and attentive, very polite and professional.. always have smiles and a pleasant word for customers, food is great, I recommend the cakes on the bar with a nice cup of tea or coffee... I recommend this place for all of the family. Always a great atmosphere

My dad and I came here on Friday , the service was shocking , my dads meal was awful , he had the fish and chips , if you pressed the fork down on the fish the grease just fell out, it was disgusting , not one person came to check our meal was ok , on going to pay I said to the waitress when going to pay, she said ah that’s ok I shall take off his drink , a Diet Coke !! I will not be coming back here .

So in the space of three days I found myself in here twice! If you are going to try something new why not see it in it’s full capacity, right?First experience - a Saturday night with my visiting friends! We entered at around 6.30pm and unsurprisingly, we were quite ‘far on’ from our first pint at 12pm. I’ll rephrase that, we were drunk!The place was lively and the booths with televisions suited us perfectly, as we were keen on watching the Newcastle game. We found a seat upstairs and had a good four / five drinks (shots included) before two of us were chauffeured home. Short but sweet they say. From what I remember, a good night was had!My Mum and Dad were staying with us for a few days the following week and on the Monday we went for a lovely meal here. Again, it was orientated around Football as the Manchester City game was on live. In terms of sports entertainment, this business was fantastic and the availability of Sky Sports was a positive.The food was basic but tasty and my wife did find a Vegetarian option (Brownie points). It was my treat and overall for four meals (two courses) and a couple of drinks each, the bill amounted to £65. Very good value for money indeed.Third visit - Scotland vs England in the Six Nations. Lively, packed, noisy, pints flowing - all the right ingredients for a good night! Superb.I am glad I got to experience all sides of ‘The Granary’ and would definitely consider another outing. I’ve heard good things about the Breakfast so it would be rude not to finish off the full experience!

What a Great bar! Lots of drinks and food, TV with sports on and friendly staff. Came here 2 times in 2 days, and had delicious food and drinks both times. Really reccomended😁

Went for lunch with 2 friends both in wheel chairs. We all had a nice lunch and coffee, Staff, though very friendly and couldn't do enough for my friends, weren't very competent.. A bit disheveled in their dress, and not very organised. However, that didn't have any effect on our meal experience. The menu isn't that exciting, but they were good enough to let my friends have half portions (small eaters) at a kids price menu or close to. It could do with an overhaul regarding the decor, but that's maybe just me. I will go back as it is one of the nicer places in Elgin.

My son and I went for a meal here last night and I was very impressed. The bar man was so polite right from the moment I walked in and told me to sit down and he brought over my drinks. The meals were good value and the desserts were amazing. What made the meal outstanding was the bar staff as they were so pleasant and would definitely make me return.

Gary and team looked after about 69 of us upstairs for an afternoon into evening reunion event we frequently hold. Spotlessly clean, nice ambience, plenty space and the food and drink were excellent and reasonably priced. Highly recommend. Thanks guys, we’ll be back. Daz

Attended an event held here between Christmas and New Year. Fantastically received, great food and great prices, only bettered by the extremely motivated, dedicated and well trained staff. Top job. Hugely recommended!

Liza (assistant manager) was fantastic nothing was too much trouble and promotion surely beckon. I cannot add anymore to that.

visited here with my partner today and was really disappointed with my food My partners meal was good and he enjoyed it but mine was pretty cold I would usually have told a member of staff but we were short on time and didnt really want to eat on my own so i left most of it

Well looked after by Joe behind the bar for our regular get together. 50+ mates from around the country at a change of venue this year. Stovies provided by Gary was welcomed by all. A good day out and I suspect that we’ll be back in 6 months!

Fantastic time with perfection service. The staff went beyond good. We were noisey but were never a burden on the other clients thanks to being given a separate area. Hope they will have us back.

Fantastic venue for our Kinloss reunion. The upstairs space was perfect and the bar staff looked after us brilliantly all afternoon. Great stovies too.

Had a good lunch and great service thanks to liza and Siobhan who also makes great cocktails 🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹

Come here very often always get great service and food, Lisa and Siobhan always very helpful and bubbly always good to see the group work well and can't fault them.

Our staff, volunteers and trainees from Greenfingers Training Project really enjoyed our meals and visit for our Christmas get together. There were 20 of us in total and within our group there were a couple who did not want food from the Festive Fayre menu and the staff were very accommodating in dealing with the various requests. The food was nice and the service from Gary, Liza and the team was superb. Our table was very festive and decorated which added to the great, warm and relaxed atmosphere. This is the first time our team had had our Christmas meal at The Granary and we’ll definitely be back and fully recommend it. Thanks guys

Brilliant staff, quality food. Thanks for a fab Xmas dinner, no waiting around. Couldn't be more accommodating 😁
