The Steam Inn in Highland

The building needs renovation. It is also for sale... The room is spacious but could do with a lick of paint. The bathroom has mold stains on the ceiling. The bed is an instrument of torture! Back pain guaranteed!

This is the worst place I’ve been in any where in the world . The room was basically a box , dirty unkempt entrance , no breakfast , and very expensive for what u get . Stay somewhere else

Don't know about the rooms but the bar has almost definitely closed.

Does what it says on the tin. Slightly difficult to find. No breakfast.

Had an excellent meal here. Great menu selection. Specials board too. The food was cooked to order. Fish and chips plus a burger and chips. The fish was beautiful. Batter thin and crispy. Chips skin on, piping hot and tasty. The burger was a hand made patty in a brioche style bun with salad. Same skin on fries and 2 huge battered onion rings. Again beautiful. Dessert was sticky toffee pudding with freshly made caramel sauce and ice cream. Best dessert ever! Prices for food and drinks very reasonable. Great service. Friendly and with a smile too. Highly recommended.

Fish n chips Food was only ok had better from the chippy it seemed we only got half a fish each the pes puree was nasty it looked like they had purified garden peas to cut back on serving whole peas also ordered onion rings but could’ve had a swim in the oil that came with them Thought we were in luck with the large slice of sticky toffee pudding but it was awfully dry even with the toffee sauce, Black paint splatted all over the walls there’s no leather on the seating tables and floor was sticky Busy enough place though Had to drive into fort William for decent food on the second night of our stay which did not disappoint

This is a beutiful pub with a small number of rooms. Satyed for a week and had the BEST sea food ever, very fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff are realy great and friendly, made our stay very memorable.

We beat the crowds from the Jacobite train and we’re glad we did. There is an extensive menu everything from curries to seafood. In a country of fish and chips, this was deemed the best in class. The fresh steamed mussels were so numerous I couldn’t finish. Service was friendly, attentive and top notch. One of the best meals we had in Scotland.

Wir haben uns Anfang November ohne großartige Recherche mittags für einen Snack rein gesetzt und es war super super lecker, wir hatten Muscheln und den Rollmops mit warmen Kartoffelsalat und es war eine 10/10. Der Kellner war super freundlich

We arrived in Mallaig on the first day of off-season and The Steam Inn was one of only a couple of places open. It was perfect - friendly, welcoming staff, excellent service and wonderful seafood. The mussels and haddock were both outstanding. Decent pint of IPA too.

Très content d'avoir trouvé ce petit restaurant, parmis les seuls ouverts a Mallaig un dimanche soir. Très bon moment, service incroyable et fish 'n'chips perfect 👌🙏 Merci beaucoup ;)

This place has a part which is more like a pub and a part which is more a restaurant. The pub is nice and we had some tasteful beers, inside and outside. The restaurant was nice, although the atmosphere could be better. We shared a pizza and a seafood platter and they were both very tasteful. We enjoyed this a lot.

The menu looks basic from the outset but the specials board really surprised. I had the venison pie with potatoes and green veg, the venison was well cooked and sweet, the potatoes where new potatoes well cooked and enjoyable, the veg a little over done, the pastry was fresh, flaked nicely when I put the knife in and tasted great. The venison was well flavoured with carrot and onion. The other half who has very precise taste amended his order and it came out perfectly. My friend had the sizzler chicken and there was plenty of it. Toilets are clean, service was impeccable drinks good and above all it was reasonable priced. The venue was clean, tidy and a good selection of drinks hot or cold available. We worth a visit

At £26 for curry & a pint I would expect the food to be of a better quality. I have tasted better out a jar. Disappointed & would certainly not recommend.

My friend and I stayed here after getting off the ferry from The Isle of Skye. It was one of the best places we stayed at on our travels. Room was very spacious and nice! Restaurant was very excellent for dinner and also offered a really nice breakfast included with our overnight stay. The staff were just excellent and so kind and courteous!! Would stay again if I was ever back in Mallaig. A little expensive at 120 pounds a night, but not unusual these days! My scallops were devine!!

Nous sommes arrivés une petite heure avant la fermeture. Accueil charmant, plats succulents . Le saumon est un régal! Je recommande vivement cette adresse !

Schönes Restaurant in Mallaig. Gute Auswahl, insbesondere Fisch und Muscheln, aber auch Burger und andere Fleischgerichte.

Delightful gem of a place, fantastic food and the guy who served us was brilliant. My husband was unsure as to which beer he wanted....no problem the young man brought him out a sample of local stout. My fella has a pint of the local brew and we enjoyed a lovely plate of prawns with crusty bread. I would recommend this pub anytime 10/10

Popped in for lunch after the Harry Potter train arrived here, looked for somewhere to eat and came across this bar and restaurant, good choice by me. Food was cooked fresh, friendly welcoming staff attended to us. I had the battered fish which was very good, wife had soup and sandwich was really good, highly recommended

Simple menu, clearly playing to the local strength of fresh seafood. One of the best fish and chips I’ve had, washed down with a lovely local ale. Nice beer garden at the back.

We drink in here quite regularly when working out of Mallaig and it's always a good friendly place for a few beers. Last night we decided to eat here and the food was outstanding. Nice varied menu and beautifully cooked food. Friendly staff too

Poor service, seafood overcooked, left the doors open when it was raining and cold. Bar staff had no appeciation of customer service. Very poor. Obviously they don't feel that they need to make an effort given the amount of people who are passing through.

Excellent fresh seafood and good beer. Place is robust with ‘concrete’ beer garden but does the job if just getting off the boat or train. Price is reasonable for good quality food.

Very good and friendly service even if they got really busy. We had todays special sea food and it was very nice and fresh.

Great base for a solo traveller, stayed for 3 nights, clean, friendly staff and the seafood is wonderful! Few minutes from station and Ferry to to Isle of Syke. Would recommend.

If you go to Mallaig you will miss a trick if you do not go here to eat. Our lunchtime visit was so good. We sat in the sun in the courtyard and ordered at the table. There was a choice of the menu or...

Super friedly service, delicious food, freshly cooked, amazing seafood platters. Super athmosphere. Anytime again.

Overall we were disappointed with our visit. It was completely clouded by the male restaurant employee (assume he was the manager) and his rudeness when we arrived. He first words when we arrived was “what do you want” and it didn’t get much better. He...

We waren met de steam train naar Mallaig gekomen. Het was prachtig weer en de “beer garden” was open. De...

Worth the detour!!! Positively surprised by the quality of food. Food presentation was amazing! and everything was tasting amazingly good!

Looks like nothing from the outside, but the food was AMAZING!! Don't miss out on this hidden gem in the heart of Mallaig.

The dinner we had was excellent in presentation, quality and most importantly, taste. Service was attentive even if a bit frantic. The room was clean and well appointed, a surprise given the shabby entrance and stairs case. Breakfast was equally good. The staff accompanied a...

Service was excellent, food was good but for £16.95 for fish & chips I would have expected the chips to be home made, allow the fish & tartar sauce were excellent.

In the pretty Mallaig this pub has some delicious dishes. My curry in the photo is white fish curry so delicious I would order same again! Hubby had sliders one chicken, one beef and the halloumi one he didn’t fancy so they swapped it for...

Highly recommend a meal at this inn. Food and service excellent. Local Skye ales and locally sourced food served. As with all the popular eateries in Mallaig, book ahead of eating at a popular time!

Excellent, tasty food, with friendly, helpful staff. Drink choices are excellent as well, and good craic round the bar. Staff were happy to spice up my curry and was excellent. Not the best view in the village, but definitely the best food. Highly recommended.

A dismal day to arrive and Mallaig not looking at its best. Headed to bar to check in and had such friendly response. Trekked around the back of the hotel which was looking sad in the March rain and up to excellent refurbished rooms, sooo...

We visited here two times over our weekend stay in Mallaig. All staff and customers very friendly. A lovely modern pub. Lovely open fire. Really enjoyed the draft Birra moretti. On second visit we found broken glass under tables. Floor and tables sticky… We even...

Myself and my auntie went here while we were travelling Scotland in her van for a week and it was amazing! The 2 guys who served us all night (1 being the head chef) were SO lovely and friendly and the food was SO good!...

We drove to Mallaig, as we were staying in Fort William and wanted to visit here for a while. Loved the harbour and got some great photos of the boats. Not a lot open in January but went here for our lunch. My husband had...

Ein gemütliches Restaurant, welches sehr familiär ist. Sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Sehr gemischtes Publikum.

Nice staff, warm feel to the place, Only felt i needed the 1 tho, then off to the only other next pub in the area

Lovely mussels starter as a main course with skin on chips and hubby had the roast beef. Very quiet - when the steam train is in you cannot get a seat in the food part or the bar. Not cheap but worth it.

In Mallaig with friends, we passed the Steam Inn at lunchtime and, looking for a light lunch, we decided to give it a try. We were seated at a corner table (very sticky) which we asked be cleaned; however the cleaning didn’t seem to remedy...

Had a really great meal at lunchtime in August. Food was well cooked and portions were generous. Staff were helpful and friendly. Children and dogs were welcome. Great value. It was busy but roomy enough to serve a lot of people when the ferry came...

Iv eaten seafood in many locations across the world and I can honestly say, the steam inn delivered, by far, the best seafood platter iv ever tasted!! The staff are so friendly and attentive, the chef clearly adores what he does and the outside seating...

Bediening was jeugd en enorm bezig met zichzelf en of de serveerster een lekkere kont had, waardoor wij gasten geen...

Had the macaroni cheese and wow, best one i’ve had. Huge portions for the price and lovely lovely’s staff. Great place for tourists with a lively local atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Stopped off for a meal one night. The staff all very young and seemed inexperienced. Took a while for us to get served of to have our meals delivered to the table. Food was ok, nothing exciting, was pretty pricy for what we had. Not...

Believe it or not trying to find a fish restaurant in Mallaig that was open was a pain so on the road of my hotel I went to the Steam Inn. It had a good menu although some of the ingredients were running out but...

Food was excellent. Great adult and kids portions. Went for lunch and had a great experience. Service was also excellent.

Only reason this isn't 5 stars is the service was initially a bit slow and we felt our waiter was bordering on rude, we asked if we could order some drinks after being sat for some time he said he needed to take another order...

Had a lovely evening with my wife, the salmon and crab cakes were delicious, not forgetting the amazing irn bru and chilli sauce and the salad was the best I have tasted in a long time, please give me the recipe for the dressing 10...

Amazing seafood. Fantastic atmosphere and all the staff friendly and welcoming… The place was rammed when I went in for lunch - no booking… But the staff were all happy, efficient and very welcoming…. And the food came much quicker than I anticipated….. some one...

We called for a late lunch after the steam train had left (it can be very busy when the train is in) and it was quiet. We had had a look at most of the eateries in Mallaig and the Steam Inn offered the most...

Que fantástica surpresa! Dada a hora avançada da noite, acabamos por optar por jantar no Steam Inn sem grandes expectativas....

We recently visited this bar and restaurant. Initially we sat in the restaurant area. I ordered steak pie which was absolutely delicious. Stew was tender and gravy tasty, puff pastry crispy. Potatoes were lovely and soft and veg crunchy, I would highly recommend this dish....

We had veg margarita pizza and garlic bread. They were yummy. Good option for vegetarians, you just need to have some time in hand.

Usually here every month with work but the staff really couldn't be bothered being friendly or even vaguely polite when we ordered drinks, probably because it's tourist season now. Will go over the road or to the cabin for takeaway in the future.

We stopped to eat while on break from Jacobite train ride. We ate in the bar. Two meals were good, but yikes - the Mac & Cheese was bad. Separated and had a large pool of butter on top of stringy cheese. You pay when...

Almost …. Very good Clearly like most of the west highlands the Steam Inn is struggling with staffing. Hence service was slow, but despite being slow it was friendly and courteous. The food itself was excellent. Albeit the portion size of fish served was small...

There were 11 of us looking to sit together which we were able to do at the Steam Inn. Lovely evening meal and excellent service. Monkfish scampi was delicious. Thank you

Visited today after an impromptu boat trip. What a great find. Tasty food, friendly staff and amazing service. Lovely to sit in the sunshine in the beer garden with the dog. Oscar says thanks for the sausage! We will be back.

We were visiting from the Jacobite train and decided on here for lunch. Worried we wouldn’t get a table but there was plenty. Ordered quickly and staff was very attentive. The fish and chips were amazing. Best I’ve ever had. Good price for the quality...

Arrived before Steam Train! Lovely mussels, excellent chicken sizzler and Indian seafood curry. Prompt and pleasant service, can’t fault this establishment and they handled the chaotic steam train rush with aplomb

From the Jacobite train we went to get something to eat in the Steam Inn Mallaig. We waited almost half an hour for our starter of prawns to arrive which were most disappointing and barely warm. We then waited a further 15 minutes with no...

This was a huge disappointment. I researched where to eat in Mallaig before we travelled there. When I looked at the Steam Inn’s menu online I was excited to see they (apparently) had fresh, local langoustines. Was also hoping for local scampi. Neither were on...

Just had the most delicious chicken sizzler meal ever! Tasty, generous portion with superb accompaniments.Great , friendly service .

Six lads for the week very welcoming great service, good food and great breakfast. Good jukebox. Cheers

We walked up the hill from the train station and came across this Resturant and pub . Decided to have lunch here. We sat in the pub end , it was spacious , and the table service was efficient . The staff were friendly and...

I was stuck waiting on a lift on Christmas Eve. The steam inn was a life saver, stayed for hours, had a tasty turkey lunch and the wine. Cheerful staff.

Visited Mallaig back in August this year. We went over on the Jacobite Express from Fort William. I had seen this place on trip advisor and liked the look of it. We were not disappointed and had a lovely lunch outside in the beer garden...

I was a bit dubious about booking a room in a pub but there was no need. Room was warm cosy with a big kingsize bed and contemporary furniture, immaculately clean and a great wee shower room with fresh white towels. Food was fab and...

Visited the steam Inn whilst on the Jacobite train, staff very friendly and food was excellent, I had the salmon and my wife the monkfish scampi, only regret is we didn't have longer there due to train return but the best meal I have had...

Fish was ok,chips overcooked, took nearly an hour to be served, waiter was so apologetic he reminded me of Basil Faulty. Wouldn't go again

We called in for a drink but ended up eating as well as the food coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled delicious. The service was speedy despite it been a very busy day and the pub packed out. Everything was Covid safe we...

Went for evening meal. Nice setting, friendly waitressing staff but very busy for the number of staff on. I think chef was having an off night. Salmon was bland, overcooked and small. Chicken, far from being ' smothered in sauce' was bland, dry and very...

We came off the train and luckily got a table inside. The staff were friendly. We enjoyed the crab rolls with fresh salad.

Ate at the Steam Inn after going on the Jacobite train. Really nice place and gets busy so would recommend getting their sooner rather than later if also going by train. Food was huge portions and really tasty, prices were reasonable - £30 for two...

We stayed here for a night while on a mini tour of Scotland. We almost didn't make it due to the ferries from Armadale being cancelled, the staff were really helpful and supportive when I said I had no idea when we would arrive. We...

We took the Jacobite Train to Mallaig today. It was a brilliant trip. Came across this restaurant/bar very close to the station. Ordered the fish and chips. The batter was light, the fish huge, the chips crunchy and the tartar sauce was delicious. The staff...

Enjoyed our meal in the beer garden so much we came back the following evening to eat in the pub fish and chips with home made tartare sauce and Mac cheese all good with sourdough garlic bread - very tasty. EX Skye Gold beer on...

Was here 11 months ago and left a 5 star review as it was outstanding. Because of that I tried to book a table as 6 of us were coming on the Jacobite train. I was told that I couldn’t book it was walk in...

Walked in and waited to be served, got ignored by 3 members of staff.. looked at us and completely ignored us. We left and couldn’t get a table anywhere else so we came back in the other door and asked for a table and were...

Came here on Wednesday for dinner and drinks the staff were so friendly and the food was amazing definitely recommend anything seafood related as I got the mussels for starters and Langoustines for a main the food was so fresh I will definitely be returning...

We went there at 6pm when restaurant opened for evening. When given the menus we were told that they did not have any burgers, pizzas or monkfish. We all just chose fish and chips. Two plates arrived and then a single plate. We had a...

Nice place to drink but one meal wasn't right but hey they saw that and adjusted our cost, with free Ice Cream and drink. Very helpful and understand. It happens, thank you.

Wednesday 25th August about 5:15pm. Had some time between the Tarbet ferry and train so looked in for a pint in the sun with my partner and dog. The beer garden gets sun in the later afternoon which is much more pleasant than the garden...

My friend and I ate lunch here. He had Cullen Skink (one of his favourite Scottish dishes) but the broth was extremely watery, lacking the creamy consistency that a proper Cullen Skink should have. Some halves of cooked potato were placed into the thin broth...

Myself and my family have been staying in Fort William for a 2 week holiday and ended up eating here 3 times it was so good, staff very welcoming and looked after us , food is amazing highly recommend the macaroni cheese, the burgers also...

Ate lunch today while visiting on the Jacobite train trip. Service was prompt and efficient and the food was delicious. Presentation of the food was good and the menu selection was varied and more than sufficient. Would definitely recommend a trip here if you happen...

We stumbled on this restaurant by some amazing fortune. I hadn't had my fix of seafood since we'd come to the Highlands so ordered langoustines and scallops. My non-fish eating family had a range of other usual pub options and all enjoyed immensely. Very reasonably...

Very tasty food and nice surroundings, but we were seated in the bar area and the outside door was wide open. We were told it couldn't be closed because the bar staff needed access to the outdoor seating area - which is fair enough, and...

went for something to eat in the 1 hour 10 minutes we had before we had to board the jacobite train. ordered food at 1250 (we were the 2nd table outside to place a food order so at this point it was that busy) and...

Arrived with family of 7, plus a dog. They made sure we got a table and the food was fabulous. Delicious and great value for money!

Literally just eaten here after visiting for a fe hours off the Jacobite express. Would thoroughly recommend. Great food ( fish and chips were awesome). Great service and very friendly all staff. Would definitely return Thank you Steam Inn

Stayed here on my Scotland travel holiday with my 2 children. Had a fantastic stay. Staff very friendly and helpful in every way. Room was beautiful. We used the restaurant everyday! Food was great. Lots of choice. Would recommend!

A warm and friendly welcome on a wet and windy day. The Cullen Skink was the best we’ve ever had. Slept like a log in a very comfortable bed. Can’t recommend highly enough- we’ll be back as soon as we have the opportunity.

Just stumbled across the Steam inn, popped in and found a real gem of a place. Myself and my wife each had an amazing 3 course meal. The staff were great nothing was too much trouble. Food was amazing and reasonably priced. Next time im...

A fantastic place to stop to eat, drink and enjoy. Food was great, beer was excellent and staff were fantastic. The Steam Inn has a lovely relaxed atmosphere which we cant wait to come back an enjoy again.
