Thyme Restaurant in Highland

Don’t come here unless you are a hotel guest! We went to the empty restaurant for dinner at 17:45 only to be told that it’s only open for guests. There wasn’t anybody around.

Very friendly welcome, fast and dynamic service! Excellent meat, blue as requested, a rare thing! The desserts, sticky toffee pudding and cheesecake, were delicious! Truly enchanted!

Running a very limited menu due to Covid. Staff pleasant but no decent selection on the menu. Effectively chilli, bolognese and two types of pizza. Pepperoni and Margarita. And then they ran out of Pepperoni!

Buena comida. Gran servicio. Qué más necesitas. Personal atento pero no en su cara. Hace una semana estuve en una competencia por una noche de trabajo, esto es mejor que de una manera justa.

El personal fue amable, atento y muy servicial. El desayuno estaba bien preparado y el personal rápidamente rellenó cualquier escasez. Los desayunos calientes estaban preparados a pedido y me gustaría que más hoteles / restaurantes hicieran lo mismo. Para mí no hay nada peor que los huevos fritos con una piel dura en el blanco porque se han mantenido calientes bajo una lámpara de calentamiento. Uno hasta este Premier Inn!

Paré aquí para una comida después de un día de gira. Muy bien decorado y buen ambiente. Personal educado, amable y eficiente. Mi compañero tenía la chuleta de lomo de cerdo cocida a fuego lento, estaba deliciosa y muy tierna, tuve un filete Gammon que disfruté muchísimo, parece que el chef quitó su ojo del huevo frito, ya que era sólido. Volveremos en nuestras próximas vacaciones.

Esperó 10 minutos, luego la señora me sirvió una pinta que me recordó a Whiteinch. Esperó 40 minutos para ser servido con un bistec de gammon. Esperé 10 minutos para pagar mi factura en el bar. El menú no era el mejor para los muchos hombres de la 'furgoneta blanca' que se alojaban en el hotel de al lado. En mi segunda noche, varios de nosotros fuimos a Frank & Benny's, donde el menú era más adecuado.

I reviewed this restaurant recently in which I criticised it for being slow and food cold when it arrived. I visited again this week and had friends with me this time . This visit was worse than last time , different staff this time , it was 3ladies last time , this time it was 3 men/lads . The service was diabolical to say the least , and one member of staff at the bar was rude to say the least, BUT that may have been lost in translation as English was not his first language . It took 45 mins for our started to arrive AND that was after we had to ask what was happening , it wasn’t busy as we were the second table to sit as it was only 5.15, this continued into the main course , we had to ask the staff to clear the table and ask for our main course , again took an absolutely age , and my course was piping hot in parts and cold in others I.e. chips and veg cool pie piping hot. They walked about absolutely unaware that we had finished eating and again had to ask to clear the table , this continued into the dessert as well . Won’t be using this restaurant again if same staff there , would rather walk further into Inverness to eat , which is a pain as I use the hotel (which is great) regularly for business .

I ate there last night , the staff were pleasant and polite and it’s nice and clean . The speed of service was okay . I had spicy noodles with car grilled chicken breast . The noodles were microwaved to death gone to mush and blisteringly hot the ‘chicken breast’ was strange and seemed a lesser cut than breast and it seemed to have such a thin skin on it that I actually felt they had cooked it in its plastic covering ! , not sure I will,eat there again , but I will be using the premier Inn it’s part of .

Having stayed at the Premier Inn Millburn Road Inverness it seemed logical & easy to eat in their THYME restaurant, We had the house special burger on the Friday,so went back on the Saturday and decided to have fish and chips.....much to my disappointment and horror We were minced (small pieces of various different pieces of fish) frozen in batter which resembled something out the frozen aisle of a supermarket! What we were served was not even a real fish,let alone Haddock as would be reasonable to expect from a so called restaurant! We would at least had real fish if we had went into a 'Chip Shop' in Inverness and a fraction of the Thyme Restaurant price.....I can only advise anyone considering eating in a Thyme Restaurant is to avoid the fish and chips to avoid the disappointment of minced frozen fish! Also you cannot but help wonder based on the frozen minced fish, what else on the menu is something frozen and heated up before serving? The staff were excellent very curtious and please and could not do enough - The person in management somewhere is the person We hold accountable for this disappointing offer they try to call fish.

When I was here they didn't seem to provide anything different from your normal Brewers Fare, just a bit pricier. Service was very poor and I had to chase up my order twice. The reason given for the delay was that they were busy that night. Not good.

Went for dinner with my mum and husband and all our meals was poor. First of all creamy peppercorn sauce as advertised on the menu is NOT WHAT it is labelled as. In fact it is frozen pepercorn/Maderia sauce in a small blue packet. I will come on to this later No where does it mention this to you. Your standard creamy peppercorn sauce has brandy or even whisky traces. And is creamy white brown colour. The cause presented to me was red more like a jus or gravy. The lovely waitress was shocked and commented on how she had never see this colour of sauce before as it was dark and had a strong smell of red wine aka the maderia. She took it away and advised it would be taken off the bill. Apologised. All fine and well. Steak was a little chewy and tough but was edible. Husband's meal was ok he said he had bbq chicken and bacon with chips. Portion was small but not so much of an issue. Mum had to have oven chips due to her onion allergy and they try chips and onion rings in same fryer. Asked for fish and chips.... btw the fish had been fried...... Mum didn't notice until she had eaten some. The manager came over to clear the table and asked if everything was ok. I advised the sauce was not what I expected. He went on the defensive and became very patronising and shirty. Side note official complaint has been logged. I will not return to this restaurant.

visited with my family and ordered a med rare ribeye only to recieve a well done ribeye that looked like it had been finnished off in a microwave and was so tough ended up leaving half of it only 1 member of staff working the bar, taking orders at the table, taking food out amd cleaning tables so didnt see much of him.

Good food good service. Ate here as in house restaurant to the Premier Inn Hotel during our snow bound stay this week.

We had 2 breakfasts and 2 evening meals here. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food well cooked and reasonably priced.

Not eaten here in ages...kinda overlooked until tonight...but gonna be back. By far, the nicest and most civilised of the Whitbread chain restaurants in Inverness. Service excellent...friendly and efficient. No complaints about food at all. Most enjoyable thanks.

Es el restaurante del hotel Premier Inn. Estábamos cansados y cenamos allí por cercanía a nuestro alojamiento. Raciones abundantes y comida correcta. Servicio amable aunque algo lento.

met friends who were staying her last week for dinner, the food was really good had a really nice steak cooked just the way i like it and plenty of food. service was good and good atmosphere.

Mis amigos y yo nos alojamos en este Premier Inn para una escapada de fin de semana como parte de nuestro viaje de motocicletas anuales.

Parte de la Premier Inn, con un personal amable. El restaurante tiene una buena selección de comida en el menú y la comida está bien presentado. No es demasiado caro. Puede estar muy concurrido, parecería que la gente local utilice el restaurante así que es un buen anuncio para el lugar.

Thyme is a convenient place for us to meet up with local family. We booked a table for an evening meal as there was a group of us.

No está mal para un restaurante de hotel. . . . pescado y patatas fritas no es un favorito pero otros artículos en los menús eran sabrosos. El buffet de desayuno era muy bueno.

Aquí, el desayuno es fantástico. No sólo una buena relación calidad-precio, pero de buena calidad. El personal es fantástico, muy acogedor. Alojarse en el Premier Inn o no vale la pena venir a. En comparación con otros hoteles de la zona es significativamente mejor y mejor que la mayoría de los restaurantes.

El servicio era muy lento probó la cena especial con bebida y desayuno oferta para extras para mi vino

Este es un restaurante adjunto a un hotel - parece que hay pocas razones para ir allí, a menos que estés allí o muy cerca. Es, sin embargo, buena comida y buen servicio. He escrito un poco más en mi crítica del hotel Premier Inn

Called in here on the off chance of getting a table for two as the town was very busy and most places fully booked. We were welcomed at the door and asked if we had a reservation, our prospects not looking good i thought. A few minutes later we were escorted to a nice widow table and given a menu, drinks ordered return to menu. Very good choice of food on the menu, waiter came back took order and brought food in about 10 minutes. The food was excellent and worth every penny as was the sweet course, and not forgetting the cappuccino to round it off.

I ate two breakfasts and two lunches in this restaurant during my stay.The standard of catering and cleanliness was notably higher than the average restaurants at Premier Inns even though the menus were fairly typical of the usual fare. It was noticeable what a difference a competent chef can make. The ambience too was better with no intrusive muzak , adequate lighting, and no noisy guests.

Absolutely fantastic throughout. Would recommend booking beforehand though. We were seen to quickly, food was here within minutes and it was all to die for! Would definitely recommend the 8oz Rump Steak, obviously well sourced and was all executed wonderfully. Extremely attentive and helpful staff too. Can't wait to come back

Food and breakfast were very good but this is just a bland restaurant not the food the décor etc. absolutely no character. As to the bar there really wasn't one but I wasn't there for that

Visited for breakfast and dinner while staying at the premier Inn. Value on meal deal was fantastic. Well presented and we'll cooked food served by friendly staff both at dinner and breakfast. Breakfast has a good selection of continental breakfast to choose from.and a very nice hot breakfast was brought to the table. Staff went over and above thier job advising on local places of interest and taking time to speak with our granddaughter.

We ate here when staying next door at the Premier Inn.We received a friendly welcome and was shown too our table promptly. The food was excellent, served piping hot and efficiently. We enjoyed every course.Reasonably priced and relaxed atmosphere.Our waiter Tamas was very friendly and chatty, he seemed to be the only person working in the restaurant and did an excellent job!

Thyme restaurants are good. Menu is always interesting, prices are fair. My only problem is, they do not open for dinner till after 5pm

I've eaten here many many times, although it's not Michelin star quality, it is good value for money. The fully loaded pizza is a must. The mashed potatoes where a little on the heavy stodgy side that I had with my steak and kidney pudding, but nothing worth getting upset about. Breakfast spot on as always and super fast, but please for the love of god, get a new toaster

The staff at Thyme were exceptional, sadly the food didn't match, we ate here twice and couldn't put ourselves through a third night. The steak was poorly cooked and the meat wasn't great quality, the salmon was greasy, items on the sharer platter over cooked, the only thing that was tasty was the Mac & Cheese. Breakfast was good as standard but thats a hard one for anyone to get wrong, expected better....

We stayed over at the premier inn attached, and had breakfast and evening meal here. Very good, staff very friendly and polite, and the food was hot and well presented.

As we were staying at the attached Premier Inn, we used the restaurant several times for dinner and daily for breakfast. The staff were courteous,polite and nothing was too much trouble. One of the staff (Gillian) offered exceptional service every time we came into contact with her. She made us feel welcome and made a fuss of our excitable ten year old. We were not rushed in the slightest and even when we arrived late on the first night, Gillian found a table for us to rest our bones and have a good meal. The food was of good quality and well priced. We will be visiting again.

Stayed at the Premier Inn for two nights with my daughter in law and baby grandson so the £23.99 meal deal worked for us.Breakfast had it all,loved the choice of hot buffet also fresh fruit,cereals,breads and bagels,even our little's one favourite Marmite! Couldn't fault the dinner menu,steak done to perfection, Eton mess dessert yummy and price included glass of house white or red.Staff delightful,made sure baby chair was cleaned,set it at table of our choice and asked if there was anything we needed, baby-food heated or boiled water for his bottle.

Visited this restaurant while staying a short walk away at Jurys Inn. Very pleasantly surprised in all respects at our experience. The staff were friendly and very efficient and the food was well prepared and presented. Coupled with reasonable prices and the general character of the restaurant I would highly recommend this to anyone requiring a good and reasonably priced meal. In short a gem compared to many of the restaurants attached to budget hotels.

In the past we have been very critical of the service in other restaurants connected to Premier Inns so it was a very pleasant surprise to be in a location were the staff seemed interested in making you welcome and serving you well during your meal. Menu was more than adequate as the food quality was good.

Ate whilst staying at Premier Inn next door. We were met by a very pleasant waitress who showed us to a quiet table. We didn't want a huge meal as we had been at a function earlier with a buffet. We had the sharing platter from starter menu and it was excellent, hot and tasty, chicken wings, kebabs prawns, potato wedges etc with dipping sauces. Just right for us. Menu did look to be comprehensive though and had a good wine list.

Stayed at the Premier Inn next door and took their meal deal at the Thyme. Staff were very attentive and pleasant and really made us feel welcome. Had dinner and breakfast and both were excellent and would certainly go back.

We chose to eat in at the Thyme restaurant and were not disappointed. Good menu. food was tasty and good portion size. Service was cheerful and timely.

Staying up in Inverness and have used a few hotels etc.The restaurant here is very good.I got the meal deal and had a very nice Sir lion with all the trimmings and tempura prawns to start.For breakfast got a full cooked,toast etc.I know it's a chain but the food is good and the staff are really nice.I come up here on a regular basis and use this premier inn simply because of the restaurant.

We stayed at the premier inn for 3 nights, and would normally eat breakfast with them each morning! but after the 1st one we decided to eat elsewhere. I felt sick for the rest of the 1st day? it seemed very fatty?? staff were all nice though

Stayed at the premier inn and took the meal for £22.99 which was for a two course evening meal with a drink and breakfast. Meal was superb and breakfast was great, service was really good. Would recommend this deal to anyone staying at the nearby Premier Inn

This restaurant has changed a lot since the last time we stopped but the food was delicious and not expensive. Attentive staff and plenty parking

We visited a couple of weeks ago as we have on several previous occasions. It always amuses me when we are asked if we have a reservation as it's rarely very busy when we go. On the one occasion it was busy a flight had been cancelled and the airline had sent all passenger to the adjoining hotel. On this occasion we entered the restaurant at 6.30pm and did not receive our food (a hotdog, a burger & a pizza) until 7.50pm. I was almost at the point of walking out. When our food finally arrived my daughter's hotdog was on a roll so hard it shattered when she tried to eat it. I requested a fresh roll only to be brought another which was freshly warmed and soon hardened. This was after spending some time with the waitress going through the children's menu to check if they could cater for my daughter's food allergy. Having dealt with the allergy for 7 years just give the parent the menu we can spot an allergen at a glance.I'm unsure if I will return to this restaurant as Inverness has so many options available, which is a shame as on previous occasions although the food can take some time it has always been reasonable and well cooked.
