The Lochy in Highland

Amazing venue, amazing staff, amazing food every time, thank you kindly x 😁🤟🏻

The waitress Mary served us wonderfully and was very pleasant.

Food was really tasty, prices where great 👍 first rate would highly recommend 🤩. New Yorker burger. & Hungarian beef curry ❤️

Horrible service and the kid with the glasses working there was incredibly rude.

Huge portions for the price, great good and lovely service

Service could have been more attentive. Pulled pork tacos and BBQ chicken was fine, nothing special. Quite pricey for what it is.

WORST BURGER OF MY LIFE I highly advise you to NOT take the burger. They are really expensive, the steak is frozen, the bun probably come from aldi. The other dishes are okayish. Honestly, at this price it’s a robbery.

I really don't understand how this restaurant can have more than 4 stars... I had a burger and my wife had mac & cheese. We can't make it simpler and even that they can't do. My burger was just bread, steak and grated cheese....no sauce, no tomato, no pickles, nothing.... We were first placed on a bench that smelled of piss... really horrible. If you like to eat, please go elsewhere.

Great little pub with reasonably priced food. Excellent team too, very friendly.

Called in for food and drinks, service was good, it was quick and friendly. Food was basic pub, but all the same really tasty. Very reasonably priced

Great little out of the way place....

The staff is friendly and the price is attractive. However, the food is not very tasty. The burger was dry and chewy. The pieces of meat in the curry were too big and tough. And then the interior: after a few minutes we moved to another table because it looked like we were sitting in a lavender field. The smell was a mix of strong cleaning fluid and...well, let's just say it was more reminiscent of a musty toilet than a restaurant. In short, a few adjustments here and there might make dinner a little more enjoyable!

The food was lovely and we had good service. Unfortunately the experience was spoilt by a member of staff. She was so rude to other customers. She flung the menus on to a table and said someone will come to you in a minute. Not in a polite manner either. This was noticed by other customers too. The tables were too close together. I'm afraid to say that if she had done that to me and my sister we would have handed the menus back and walked out. As I said the food was lovely but sadly the service was not.

Advantage: we arrived at 3:00 p.m. and we were able to eat. We ate fish and chips, not crazy. Very good beer and pleasant staff

Popped in with the family for a bite to eat and some refreshments, the food was lovely and the portions were generous as well as good value for money. The staff were amazing, very welcoming and friendly, especially Mary. They accommodated for a large table without any issues, the service was extremely fast too and we even got a few giggles. They also accommodated for our 2 dogs and provided some water and a dog treat for the two of them. We would definitely return.

A proper pub catering for locals and tourists alike. Definitely nothing fancy but very friendly and welcoming, great service and great value traditional pub food Definitely the place to go unless you want something fancy

We popped in for a few beers and to sample their whisky menu. Lovely staff, great selection of whisky and dog friendly too 😊

Lovely place, great service, food was terrific. Thank you!

Lekker gegeten voor een goede prijs. Gezellige sfeer en erg aardig personeel. Gemakkelijk aan te rijden en je kunt gratis voor de deur parkeren. Honden zijn welkom :)

Very tasty and rich dinner. Lots of activity. So we had to wait a while for a table. Unfortunately the bar is a bit too small.

A pub with a large bar area and separate dining area. The staff is nice and the local guests are tomboyish. A reservation for dining is recommended. The menu is sufficient and the food is good. You can spend an evening here inexpensively. Parking spaces directly in front of the house.

Lovely place for a relaxed dinner and enjoying a mouthwatering meal.

The food was very good, but the service was inattentive and unpleasant, and they overcharged us for items we didn't order. Very unfortunate, we will not be coming back due to this experience.

Good little lunch stop after our visit to Urquhart Castle. Good food and atmosphere!

Had citizens here. Were so well.... No sauce, no cucumber, no salad. Just bun with patty and cheese. You don't have to have it

Beef curry and bbq chicken were perfect and very well served. It just took them a long time to respond to us.

I wanted to like this place because the staff were nice and the atmosphere was good. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by my food. I would have given 3 stars, but I think that some of my fries were made with rotten potatoes --- most were fine, but a couple individual fries had a strongly repulsive taste (I thought maybe I imagined the first two times it happened, but after the third I started taking test nibbles of every fry before eating, and found a couple more). I felt a little sick in the evening.

We nipped in for a late lunch (hadn't booked) and we were welcomed by a lovely lady who was happy to accommodate us. Both women working that day were lovely and friendly. The food was lovely, tasty and enjoyed by all as well as good value for money! I was actually able to eat there too, which can be a rarity these days, I had the gluten free vegan cheese and tomato toastie, it was so nice! I would definitely go back again!

A place on the road. Useful and not very expensive. If you don't go to the restaurant you have the option of taking hot food, but you can't eat it at their tables, except those outside, and if it rains, that's another matter... Ha ha ha

The nice lady sent us straight to the bar, even though we wanted to eat in the restaurant, so that we could dry our things. Super nice service and great recommendations; Price/performance ratio is very good and so is the food. Generous portions and lots of good selection. Great atmosphere!

Seemed like a nice pub but walked half an hour there to find the kitchen is fully closed. Would be helpful to put that on the website to avoid others going hungry similarly

Very welcoming, friendly pub. Great choice of food with good service. Would recommend

Called in as walking past 1 afternoon, had a pint then kids decided they were hungry so had food off the main menu was very good value club sandwich recommended all food was good, so decided to book for Sunday lunch which was advised by staff as busy on Sundays, so we did we all had a rost but was disappointed really as staff hyped it up, it came with beef 6 aunt Bessie's rost potatoes but only 4 on my plate as they were abit bigger carrots, peas a gravy we thought oh they be bringing the rest out in bowels but nothing no mash cauliflower and no offer of any sauces to go with beef

The Lochy is a great place for an inexpensive and tasty lunch. Their 3 appetizers for 16£ special is well portioned and enough for two adults to share. They have plenty of easy parking and are only a short walk away from the canal locks of Neptune's Staircase and the Corpach Caol shipwreck.

Friendly staff in a traditional scottish pub ambience. We had good scottish food and beer.

Really disappointed 😞 we ordered, and waited an hour as everyone around us got served. Our waiter kept walking by our table not even looking at us and we couldn't get his attention. Finally we went to the bar to ask if we can at least get the drinks we ordered and it turns out our waiter took our order, walked away and never put it in 🥲 so we finally get our food and are offered dessert on the house, are told someone will come take our order for that but nobody ever did and we didn't want to wait another hour so we just paid for everything so we could leave.

Family pub, with reasonable prices and a quiet atmosphere. Very delicious and well prepared, homemade food. Very friendly staff.

We were staying in Caol and didn’t want to drive into Fort William, so decided to go to The Lochy nearby and it was lovely. The food was good, the apple crumble cheesecake was delicious! The service was excellent - quick and friendly despite being quite busy. I would definitely recommend this pub if you are staying locally.

This place used to be good but not any more. Macaroni was re heated, dry and at least a day old, not freshly made. Extremely disappointed. Steak pie was ok, but macaroni sucked, badly. I can't recommend it at all

What a lovely friendly pub. Food is lovely. The staff are amazing. Definitely recommend.

We ate here yesterday, shared a starter, the nachos, more than enough for two. The. Main dish bbq chicken and a burger. All good, large dishes. Dont have to worry you go home hungry. Good whisky also.good advises. And very reasonable prices.

The food was a bit of a mixed bag. The sirloin steak was a whopping £29 for a measly 8-ounce cut. I mean, for that price, I was expecting a mountain of chips and a few little extras, egg wouldn't have gone a miss to compensate for the steak's weightlessness. But nope, just a lonely little steak on a plate. On the plus side, the chicken dishes seemed to be a hit with the rest of the group. Good value for money, they said. The staff were clearly run off their feet, probably due to the understaffing crisis gripping the place. But hey, they still managed to keep their spirits up and provide decent service. Props to them for that. The locals seemed to love the place, so maybe we were just unlucky. The place had a lively vibe, thanks to the friendly locals. It was a shame about the circumstances, though. The food was a letdown, and the illness aftermath certainly didn't help. But the service and atmosphere were okay. Just don't order the steak, unless you're feeling flush and enjoy a side of regret.

Staff were attentive, and the food came out quite fast. We were a large group. I had the steak and blackpudding pie, which is very nice.

As a visitor feel like we are Aliens. Staff members were very unfriendly, failed to offer us seating. When we decided to take away, fish and chips and requested some knife & fork, replayed they can not provide anything else but food with take away not even sauce. If I be honest one of the staff member named HELEN saved us by giving us some knife & fork to eat our food. Thank you Helen.

We were two very wet hikers searching for a dry place, a couple of pints and a bite to eat. The Lochy was heavily understaffed but did they turn us away? No! They gave us beer, soup, a plate of fries and a sense of homecoming. Nothing but smiles for us weary travelers after they learned we walked the WHW in 5 days for our honeymoon.

Got to laugh at some of the comments on here. Not sure what people are expecting from a scheme pub. It's not fine dinning or a restaurant. It's a local that sells great food and drink!! We spend most of the school holidays up in the Highlands and this scheme pub is our favourite place. We love how welcoming the staff are to our whole family, especially our kids. They work so hard and nothing is too much trouble. We've never had anything less than a brilliant experience. The food is top drawer and great value for money. With the added bonus of some proper banter!😁 From experience if you can't control your kids, your manners suck or you want a fine dinning experience this isn't the place for you.😬

I really wanted to live this place, but the food was really just okay. The Cajun chicken burger was just a plain and bland chicken breast with a little Cajun seasoning sprinkled on after the fact. The beef burger lacked flavor. The crab cakes were especially disappointing, considering that this place is just a short walk to the ocean. They were overworked and deep fried, so the consistency was such that you couldn’t tell they had crab in them, and they just tasted fried, more like American hush puppies than crab cakes, which should have chunks of fresh lump crab meat. However, the service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere was upbeat and pleasant.

We booked dinner here hoping for a nice relaxing ambience. Goodness- how wrong. The staff, whilst obviously working hard, clearly want the customers to know that they are under no obligation to provide good service, well if you are lucky you will. We overheard them talk about customers, argue with customers over what constituted an ice cream dessert, whether they could split a bill 3 ways, whether they could deign to let someone come in and join family already seated. We felt on edge the whole time. It was not a pleasant experience, Staff are not in any kind of uniform, instead sporting hoodies/ misc outfits, which doesn’t lend to any kind of professionalism. Talking loudly over peoples heads, and referring to table numbers and letters out loudly, A1, C2, etc. just felt very odd. Could not wait to pay and go. The food though?? Well that was fine. Just not the experience.

My family is on a trip across the Highlands, and dinner here was the perfect kick off for the trip. Food was hearty and filling!

Best place to go if you're staying near the canal good food good staff

Beef curry and fish and chips are great! Local and clean place

Everything was right here. The food was very tasty. Good parking options.

Great service, better food. Definitely a 5 star experience

Lovely food, lovely staff. Good portions. Would recommend 10/10

Good, tasty food for acceptable prices. Great friendly service. Nice place to have diner. The pub have its own room.

Went here as its near to my sisters house for lunch. It's only 3 bus stops away but as it was drizzling rain and a strong wind blowing we got the bus. On entry there is a sign stating to wait to be seated, so we did. We were shown to table A10 near the bar and door. I didn't get any of the servers names but they were superbly competent and friendly. We were given quite a comprehensive menu so there was something for everyone. It wasn't very busy when we arrived but soon the tables filled up and there were folk looking for orders to takeaway.. Gina had the little yins bacon and chicken mini baguette and I plumped for the butternut squash and chilli soup and coronation chicken brown bread sandwiches. Only one point about my sisters baguette, I'm sure that it's supposed to be baked in the oven beforehand (it looked white and raw). It came with twice cooked chips and I have to say that the portions (ours and others were more than ample). For drinks I had a soda/blackcurrant and a white coffee for my sister. Later on I had a black tea. Must say that I enjoyed the whole experience and the price (less than £25). Will return again on my next visit.

The pub is pleasant, good beers and mixed crowd. The food is rather mediocre. We tried a few things on two evenings, but they weren't convincing.

Standard local pub. Staff was alright, had a pint and a glass of wine for ~£11.

Food was not palatable at all, and the staff were quite rude. They were absolutely not courteous at all and we even felt if they were showing racist attitude, as we noticed the staff being very friendly to their white customers! Won’t be back here

Had a nice beer and s meal; BBQ chicken with chips and salad. Great beer but the chicken was hard to cut and not so tender. Good service and atmosphere.

Great pub with a cool atmosphere and nice guests.

Travelling through the highlands during tourist season, it makes it hard to get an authentic Scottish experience when dining. My wife and I left with smiles on our faces as it was a locals spot. The service was perfect and the food even better. My wife had the bacon cheeseburger and I had the fish and chips. I usually get a little upset after fish and chips from the excess oil, but not here. Perfectly battered and fried. I wish I could go back, but the trip must go on!

A really good pub. The personnel is very friendly and courteous. The food was excellent. We had the Haggis, the Venison Burger and the Pulled Pork Tacco.

The Lochy was fully booked when we enquired, but they kindly found us a space for 5.30pm. The menu is lovely and we each enjoyed three courses. It is an exceptionally busy place, however, that doesn't stop them providing excellent, friendly service. We will definitely stop here again when we are in the area.

Had burger. Hard to eat. Overcooked with overcooked chips

Stopped with a group of Korean Tourist with my coach, and real enjoyed my lunch. Staff and welcoming. I certainly will be stopping here again with my family and passengers again.

Food wasn't the greatest, the chips were refried and the tacos were alright. Most of the staff were really friendly with the exception of one of the servers who seemed less than pleased to be working. I'd consider going here for drinks as it was a nice enough pub but wouldn't come again for food.

Very authentic pub, local folks, good beer and cider and great fish, chips & peas. Batter was too greasy, that’s the only thing that could‘ve been improved.

The food is very good, the service is good. Unfortunately, many of the whiskeys on the menu were missing. The waitress answered all questions excellently.

Wonderful and friendly staff, with great food

Waited for 15 minutes and nobody cared to take an order. Very rude staff

Lochy is a restaurant that is located in a somewhat hidden area. We got a reference on Google and went there to test it. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the main lunch dishes had already run out, but we ordered other things and everything was very good. The bathrooms need to be better maintained (as in any restaurant in a tourist city - they weren't). But that's a detail. The place has a really cool atmosphere... it reminded me of those American bars, all dark wood and full of beer. In fact, I tried a beer called Jonh Smith, which was rubbish. It looks like a very watery bitter black tea. Overall, I recommend the restaurant!

Popped in for a quick drink as on the outside there was a sign saying "Real Ales". They only had lager and cider on tap and Newcastle Brown in bottles. We left with our thirst unquenched!

My family and i, have been coming here since 2002, it’s still the best pub food in Scotland, great staff, great food, great service, great all round, well worth the journey from Glasgow .

Really friendly well run pub which fortunately for us was close to our holiday accommodation. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Lovely walks close by too down the banks of Caledonian canal...!

Fabulous food, very friendly service.

Really nice place staff are friendly & helpful Food arrived quickly couldn't get any Ale as they'd been busy so had to settle for larger but no complaints Affordable prices Nice food will be going back before we head home

Came with kids and dog. Had to sit outside as not allowed in bar or lounge all together. Was refused food outside.

I can't understand the positive reviews. At best, the food is better than from the rest stop on the highway.

Great food, very much recommend the calamari

Lovely pub and restaurant. Really friendly service and delicious food - we both had the Mongolian curry which was very tasty and had lots of beef. We had the pop pop chicken to start which was also delicious, would recommend if you're looking for good food and a quiet friendly vibe in the town.

The Lochy Pub is a charming pub located in the heart of Fort William. It offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a casual pint or a delicious pub meal. The staff are friendly, and the service is efficient. Highly recommend for a relaxing visit!

Very good place! The atmosphere is incredible! Congratulations for the team!

It was a lovely pub and I couldn’t really fault it but the food did seem just reheated and cheap for the price. It was very quiet when we went , maybe 2 people in the whole pub. The staff were lovely though :)

Absolutely brilliant. Staff were amazing, food was delicious. Thank you for an incredible start to our holidays after a long long drive!

Lovely food and really quick service

Great place to visit and entertain Xx

Excellent friendly service helpful and caring staff nothing to much with customers could not fault them will be back excellent

Called in here as a family of 5 for pub food! Greeted on entering and shown to a nice table, good selection of food, orders taken from the table and food arrived quickly and was beautiful! Will definitely call again when we are in the area!

Love this place, whenever I am in town it is a sure stop for food and beverage, the staff are great and the chef is amazing. Definitely will not disappoint.

Nice people but setting very spare and open, food not so appetising

Another great find. Very nice food, super quick service. Definitely recommended. Maybe just a little pricey but the food dictates that so it's okay.

Nous avons relativement bien mangé, sans que ce repas nous ait marqué. Plat indien bon, plat à base de poitrine de poulet également, mais un peu trop lourd. Nous étions presque seuls dans la salle, c'était donc calme et agréable. Le cadre est charmant.

Had dinner here recently I can highly recommend ,the Service is quick ,& friendly staff .

Stopped by after a long drive and was greeted by lovely staff. Very nice pub grub available and I chose beer battered haddock, chips, peas and tartar sauce. Perfect fish supper and the Mongolian beef with rice was perfectly cooked also.

Goed eten gelegen op de route tussen Ford William en Glenfillan. Aanrader voor de roadtripper die een goede lunch zoekt.

Four of us stayed in a airbnb 5 mins from the Lochy, and so glad we found this gem. The staff were amazing, the food was terrific and the atmosphere was first class. Thank you so much for helping make our weekend and we will certainly make sure we pop in If we are back In the area.

Lovely food as usual. Our server Pippa was so friendly and professional. Wish they would bring back the mushroom sauce though!

Didn't eat but nice pint good prices. had a nice locals atmosphere in there

First time there and the food was lovely. We will go back.
