The best restaurants serving British food in Highlands and Islands

We visited for breakfast and there is a wide range of dishes available, however we opted for the Scottish breakfast which was filling, tasty and worth a try. Plenty of seating and dog friendly.

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

Great food friendly staff highly recommended good atmosphere location perfect in centre of town locals make you feel welcome

The Cullen skink risotto! The haddock! The sticky toffee pudding! Everything was wonderful and the atmosphere was cozy. Definitely recommend coming here if you spend time in Portree.

My local bar when I'm in Inverness and although it's not the most glamorous of places, it's got plenty of screens for the sport, a beer garden with play area for kids, a pool table (which is free on Mondays and Tuesdays!) and good craic with the regulars.

Really first class service! The hotel was able to accommodate me despite only phoning them up at 9pm on the night due to my camping trip being disrupted by stormy weather. Amazingly helpful and attentive staff, a lovely room, and an excellent cooked breakfast - absolute life savers!

We visited on Saturday, October 5th, 2024. To say this was a disappointment is an understatement. The staff were more interested in their phones and gossiping about someone who had been fired than looking after customers. One of them, a gentleman, barely said 2 words at all. The venue is situated right by the locks of the canal, and this is the only reason they have custom. We both had haggis starters, which made us both sick within 2 hours of finishing them. I had a fish burger, which was awful and full of grease. My husband had the venison pie, which was inedible. I would avoid at all costs. This place could be amazing, but the staff clearly don't care, and the kitchen is obviously more interested in using microwaves than cooking food properly.

The meat they brought was full of sinews and did not respect the cut/type of meat marked on the menu. After requesting a piece of white bread, they told us they didn't have it (and offering a refund) when instead they happily offer Burgers in the restaurant. The beer was good, and the waiters were friendly, but the food was awful. I had to leave more than 1/2 of the meat there because it was inedible. It's a shame, because it's a nice place.

Truly the best experience!!! We stayed in a lovely room that was stocked with scrumptious snacks, had a cloud like bed, and the most amazing rain shower (I didn't want to get out). We had a Sunday Roast dinner downstairs in the pub area (so moody and lovely) and it was arguably the best meal I've ever had. The gravy....! Oh the gravy...! To top it off, Graham was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay and we couldn't have asked for a better person to connect with. 10 out of 10 recommend. Will absolutely come again.

Service wasn't great, young lad was very overwhelmed with a group of 6 people. Food was just ok, there was one woman beside our table shouting from the top of her voice. Very crude and annoying. Cheep pints and steak is always a plus tho

Ate here for three consecutive evenings. My husband has Coeliac Disease so needed gluten free food. He said the gluten free fish & chips was so good that he had it 2 evenings running. my favourite meal was 2 starters eaten as one main. Otherwise the other meals were fine but not exceptional. Service was ok. Only 2 places open for evening meals in Lochcarron so choice is limited and the other venue was quite expensive.

Very disappointed with this venue . When we arrived at 12.50 we were greeted by a sea of dirty uncleared tables and a sign at the entrance saying that they were only open till one oclock that day . When I got the attention of a staff member to see if we could at least get a drink as they were according to the sign open till one all the very rude woman could do was point at the sign and mutter something about being to busy .very unpleasant thing to do to anyone but especially rude to someone in a wheelchair….we went for a walk and got drinks and ice cream at a little cafe on the other side of the canal . Walking back about an hour or so later the out side area was still a mess …won’t bother going here again

We took a group of 10 German visitors plus friends for the £10 lunch deal. We had given our menu choices in advance, but with such a wide range of choices it took a while to work out who had ordered what. However, it got sorted, the sandwiches were excellent and everyone was very satisfied with their choice. The staff was attentive and, since we were given the dining area all to ourselves, the atmosphere was quite intimate.

Excellent food and fantastic customer service. Highly recommend

Coffee tasted like water. Was really disappointing
