The best restaurants serving British food in Speyside Glenlivet Moray Highlands and Islands

I haven’t felt so welcomed in a restaurant ever. Incredible service and food to match. Chris hosts a great atmosphere with games to play while waiting for dinner. Chris made it as easy as possible for us to eat even though we were a large group visiting the area for work. We ate large sharer plates and we even had a special main cooked up for a member of our team who had strict dietaries. If you’re ever making your way through the Cairngorms you must pay them a visit.

Lovely friendly cafe offering a good variety of sandwiches, paninis, coffee, drinks and cake. Nice views of valley and golf course. Seating inside and out. I had a nut butter beetroot carrot panini, my partner had local ham and cheese sandwich. Both came with fresh salad. Parking area. Glad we spotted this by chance!

Even if not doing any biking you can still go and eat here. Great food brought to you by the Nethy Bridge team. Eat in or outside.

This was the first time I have visited the ‘Tun since the previous owners sold up. It has changed a lot and not for the better. The menu was a poor shadow of its previous self and vegetarian options were sparse. The service was again not a patch on previous years. I had a rib eye which was, to be fair, cooked nicely but from a menu with only 5 or 6 choices it was the only choice for me. My better half is not a fan of red meat which limited the menu for her to fish and chips. Previously we could eat there three nights on a row and not repeat a dish. Sadly we won’t be in a rush to return.

Really nice and relaxed evening in this lovely restaurant. Service was prompt and food was very tasty, we had the seafood chowder and haggis starters, lamb main and chocolate brownie dessert. Great food, well presented, also good value for money compared to other options in the village (limited!). Would highly recommend!

We arrived after walking from Craigellachie. Our walking instructions had said that the owners would pick us up at Ballindalloch Station, but when we phoned we were told that this was no longer the case, and we had to walk another 1.5 miles in the pouring rain. After a struggle to work out what direction the hotel was in, we contacted the owner again who didn't seem to know where we were. We eventually worked it out with google Maps. However the hotel was pleasant and the showers were particularly good. There is a set menu at £30 per head, offering only one choice for each course. We would have preferred to maybe have a choice of 2 menus. The rooms were good and the staff were lovely. We found the drinks to be expensive. Breakfast was nice and the lady who serves breakfast was lovely.

I bought lunch here today and really wish I hadn’t bothered, the soup was supposed to be cream of mushroom but was anything but creamy. It was this with really large pieces of mushroom which were difficult to eat with a spoon. The cheese scone was a strange colour and had a really weird taste. It used to be a great place to eat but was sold recently and is to be avoided. I will not return!

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.

Description on website is totally different to the experience we had. The manager was not in residence, there was no proper cook/chef so there was no food being served, not to speak I'll of Donnie who was left in charge as he was so helpful and friendly but the breakfast he cooked was inedible. Room not up to much shower had absolutely no pressure was just a trickle. We booked in for 4 days left after 2. If manager knew this was going to be how our stay was going to be he should have cancelled as we expected a bed and breakfast that served food this was just a pub with rooms. I would never recommend this place to anyone

Love this place. Authentic little chip shop. Lommy and the girls are always friendly and provide service with a smile. We get a white pudding supper and battered fish. Portions are generous and fish always fresh and crisp. I tried a battered Mars bar this time and although it wasn't on the menu, Lommy was happy to make one for me and wowsers it was good. Not sickly as I thought it may be. Perfect gooey goodness w a light crisp batter. I went in for a second the next day!!

An amazing hotel in an amazing location We were greeted by some lovely staff and the lady leisha. Smiles all around. We were shown to our room which was immaculate. We had our little terrier stay with us which was really appreciated and well accommodated for. Leisha gave us plenty of information on the surroundings and where it would be nice to take our dog for a walk. Her reviews on the walks were spot on. We met some lovely locals who were all very friendly and welcoming. We had dinner and breakfast in the hotel restaurant and it was fantastic. We thank you so much for our lovely stay at your hotel and look forwarding to coming back again Many thanks

We were on a Highlands day tour and stopped for break. My wife and I had fresh baked scones and tea and it was lovely. The owners were welcoming, the place was comfortable, the scones delicious and the tea was proper hot. There's a back patio and the weather was nice so we sat outside to enjoy. Recommended!

Safe very nice an friendly however lots of young ones working the bar and restaurant there doesn't seem to be anyone in charge as no one seemed to no what they were doing. Bar staff stood around waited ages to order a drink. Food slow service staff need training on bar show a smile as there was only one young guy that smiled an he was very polite the rest seemed like they really didn't want to be there

Alison el dueño del lugar es muy amable y atento. El lugar es bueno y todas las tiendas cerca, resto n bares. Alison hacen que nuestra estancia sea como una casa nos hizo muy buen desayuno! Ella siempre preguntar lo que queremos y cómo estamos, persona muy encantadora. Sus tortitas clásicas es el mejor! Tuvimos una agradable estancia que se pierda esta ciudad! :)

The Cosy Neuk is becoming of its name. Warm, cozy, inviting and the food was incredible! The staff are welcoming and happy to help with any requirements. Highly recommended! Great food for an extremely good price.
