Lochcarron Hotel 05-2021

Oddly enough it was very very difficult to find somewhere to eat for lunch along the drive from Torridon to Cairngorm. I suppose we had a late breakfast and checkout and so by the time we were hungry, places were closed (or not open during the quiet period even though it was a Bank Holiday Sunday). Parking next to the Lochcarron, we spotted this hotel which looked very closed from the outside. When we entered, we were the only 4 diners (at 4pm) and it appeared noone had been a guest there for a while...

They may even have fired up the kitchen just for us!

It was a simple pub menu including a decent steak & ale "pie" (a lovely stew with reasonably tender meat chunks with a pastry puff on top) and some local scampi.
