This is a real gem on the NC500 route, if you're travelling along you must stop by!
It's very homely with tasty food and even an excellent selection of beers and spirits. We popped in for a few pints and a wee dram, the staff were very friendly and the lady in that evening (I forgot her name sadly!) Provided us with some excellent recommendations for our travels which we did visit and certainly worth it!
It was Halloween the evening we were in and it was lovely to see some many local children able to pop in for Halloween treats!
We had a slice of the bakewell tart for breakfast the following day - we wish we had time to pop I'm for breakfast but it just means we have to come back!

Although the exterior is nothing to write home about. Don’t be fooled…
The food was fresh and really great!
The treats looked amazing. Sadly did not have any. But the people next to us were really enjoy theirs. We had amazing homemade soup and sandwiches that were excellent. You could taste the love. They obviously take pride in their product and service.
The prices were very good.
The inside ambiance however was through the roof. It felt and looked warm and cozy. But the best part was the staff. Very friendly and efficient. I may change my travel plans just so we can get to their “store” on the way back. Good luck.

Picture the scene; it’s been a long day battling the wind and the rain - you stumble into the store to be greeted with a delicious array of cakes and bakes in front of you. Your eyes wander across the wooden cabin walls decorated with everything from elephant artworks to wooden stags and coffee flags and you take a seat on a plush armchair, bench or dining chair. The floor to ceiling shelves offer ponchos and greeting cards as well as crockery and road signs. You know you’re in for a treat and feel instantly comfortable. Speedy friendly service sees you faced with golden battered fish and a mountain of fries sufficient to feed a family of four. Those monitoring their cholesterol should sit this one out - it’s a fried feast.
10/10 recommend setting your alarm for 5pm and travelling for as long as it takes to reach The Store for dinner. Absolute gem.
