Food and accommodation. *** 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!***.

The Havelock is a pub hotel located by the seaside in the popular tourist town of Nairn. Owned by locals Gordon and Morag Holding since August 2015, it has a welcoming, informal atmosphere and a lively bar.

Reported recently in addition to the Cromarty Happy Chappie were two Orkney on, with Loch Lomond also making regular appearances on the hand pumps.

Regular live music entertainment, and Karaoke on Sunday.

[Update 25 Jun 2024: "Five hand pumps available, four in use on my visit (2x Orkney and 2x Swannay) with Loch Lomond beers coming next.".]
