We had a wonderful evening meal it was really delicious. The customer service was amazing. Staff that received us were very friendly and kind and we had a lovely table looking over the Cairngorms! Fantastic place but you must book in advance.
Stopped there from our way back from Aviemore and had beers . The one I had was Cairngorm Gold. Good interiors and plenty of outdoor seating area which you can enjoy on a dry day. The entrance to the pub was a bit confusing as there are two. If you climb up the stairs it takes you to the restaurant.
The food here was very good and the portions were large. We got the chicken burger and the beef roast. The roast was massive and perfectly cooked and the chicken was charred just the right amount. The only thing I wasn't amazed with was the golden margarita, but they have plenty of good beers and ot
Food was seriously, genuinely lovely. The haggis was another level, and for someone who doesn't eat or even entertain the idea of mashed potato, this dish was fantastic. Beers were great and from the local brewery too. Dessert was very good. The only minor let down was waiting time between main and
Such a great place. The bothy bar downstairs has live music on Fridays and Saturdays and has a real bothy vibe. The staff are incredibly friendly. Great selection of well kept and pulled local real ale. We didn't eat but the food looked good.
We stopped in for a few drinks on a night they were incr
Lovely food again. I had the steak & gold ale pie. My partner had the cajun chicken burger.
The dog was spoilt with a doggie roast.
Good service & would recommend.
We have been here multiple times already
Stopped off for a munch and a few beers. Unfortunately kitchen was closed early. Headed to bothy for drinks. Large car park. Decent range of beers. Happy to see Cairgorm brewery lager on offer. Nice lager. Under used grassed area.
No food on this occasion, just drinks. No atmosphere as such, just a few watching the Manchester cup final and everyone was outside enjoying the 18°C + heat in the 🌞😎🫶 the Birra Moretti was chilled perfection 🤤👌 good service and well worth a visit when in or passing through Aviemore.
Had a good dinner here. Food was lovely can't fault it in the slightest...maybe more basic vegetarian food could be served for variety? Other than that it was a nice place for a bite to eat.
Table wasn't cleaned properly but it was busier at the time...cleaned it myself. So will let that slip as th
After two trips and lots of eating in Aviemore, I think I’m confident to say that this is the best food and restaurant experience in town. It’s homey and quiet but lively too. It’s got well placed windows for awesome views of the hills. Good selection of food and drinks and nice staff. Very good glu
Food was lovely. Visited with 2 huskies and the staff were friendly and gave the dogs a roast dinner! Even the other customers gave the boys lots of cuddles!
A good place to stop for food and drinks. We pulled in here for a late lunch on a road trip, the staff were friendly and even gave helpful travelling advice for our onward journey. I ordered the chicken caesar salad, I had to pay a suppler for the chicken but it was tasty. Others had the haggis neep
Went in for dinner after being either turned away or quoted an unreasonably long wait at other restaurants in town. Upon arrival, we were quoted a 90 minute wait, but Liam, the incredibly charming bartender managed to get us a table in only 10 minutes. To say the food was sublime would be an immense
The Sunday Roast was probably the best meal we had during our week in Aviemore. The place was busy so the staff were moving quickly. Like most places in Aviemore you need to book a table or you may be turned away.
Super friendly place with lovely food, good selection of beers and a great view of the Cairngorms. Our puppy even got a mini roast dinner for free! Recommended!
Food was excellent. Beer and service spot on. We even had a small choking emergency with one of our more elderly of our party and the staff were fantastic. Paramedics came out to make sure all was well. Cant thank the staff enough. The lady in question was fine and fully recovered by the evening.
Great local atmosphere and quite a selction of brews from Cairgorm brewery about a 15 min walk from the winking owl.
Honestly, we've been here every year for the last 4-5 years. Last year was a bit hit and miss with the food but this year it is excellent. Properly excellent. We had bruschetta, a Cajun burger and the kids goujons meal. All well cooked, all delicious and all fairly priced.
Staff were great, good ban
Food was good. Typical pub grub but nothing wrong with that. Dog friendly and very friendly waitress. Plenty of car parking space at front which is a bonus as Aviemore can be pretty busy
