Hotel and restaurant *** Highlands & Western Isles pub opening and food service times currently vary nearly on a day-to-day basis, mostly dependent on establishments' access to bar and waiting staff. Hence you will almost certainly see different times than those published here. Please DO NOT send updates to either opening or food service times, as trying to hit a moving target is a waste of our very limited resources. Instead, overall opening and restaurant times will be updated at the next full survey. Your understanding is appreciated. We welcome notifications of 'dog friendliness' however four legs good, two legs better. As you might imagine for a website called WhatPub, the main aim is to highlight the quality of ales. Thus, please include an assessment of a pub's beer(s) when you notify us of its cynophile status! ***.

Overlooking the green, with its bandstand and the Moray Firth beyond, this bar has up to six handpumps offering a great selection of local and regional Scottish ales, including the occasional English ale.

The H&WI Pub of the Year 2025 holds popular spring and autumn beer festivals; said to be the biggest independent festivals in the UK, with many ales and ciders from all over, they feature themed food and music acts over three days.

The Seaview Restaurant offers great food at a keen price and there is live music every weekend.
