  “Went for the Sunday roast. The starter and sweet were really, really good. The roast beef dinner was spoilt by it being luke warm, as if it had spent 10 minutes on the serving hatch before being brought to the table. Real shame, as it would have been excellent otherwise.”

  “A spur of the moment Saturday family lunch was, once again, excellent. A special treat was the Chicken (or Hen) of the Wood mushroom served with goats curd and tarragon - seasonal, local, delicious and something different. GF fish and chips delighted the family coeliac, and the banana sticky toffee disappeared into another family member as if the two preceding courses were just an amuse bouche! We think that the menu is even better than last time and the friendly atmosphere remains a delight. Needless to say, we will be back and are lucky to have somewhere like this so relatively close.”

  “Absolutely love this place. Since moving to Nairn we've been a few times and really enjoy the food and drink. The staff are welcoming and attentive. The location is beautiful and they're dog friendly too. This has become our go to place. Highly recommended 5* thank you.”

  “We are staying in ardensier and found this lovely place to eat and drink. Its only a short walk from the castle and if you have dogs. They are plenty of walks ans streams that can keep them entertained. Lovely staff, very welcoming and informative. Will return before we go home”

  “We had one of the best meals here during our trip around Scotland, thank you! Everything was really tasty - the scallops, fish&chips, kids burgers and strawberry cheesecake 😋 The even kids asked if we could come back the next day :)”

  “Really glad we stopped here, the food was amazing and staff were so friendly. The blackpudding scotch eggs were to die for and the carrots were so tasty I could have eaten them on there own. The parfait was absolutely delicious and so was the lemon meringue. Dog friendly too which is a bonus”

  “We dined at Cawdor Tavern as a part of a tour group. We found the food, service, and atmosphere to be good. As a starter, I enjoyed the Venison Sausage - which were excellent. My girlfriend had the Smoked Mackeral Pate, which she enjoyed. We both enjoyed the lemon sole for our main entree, vwry good. For dessert, I enjoyed the Raspberry Cranachan and my girlfriend had the Lemon Cheesecake, which she said tasted more like Chiffon Pie. The service was good and the atmosphere left no doubt that you were in Scotland.”

  “Recommended. Great food, friendly staff and reasonable pricing. I finally managed to find a place that serves both traditional Haggis and Tatties and a proper Scotch Egg, on my second visit to Scotland. Would gladly return!”
