With last orders at 19.30, it was fortunate that we were staying here, managed to score an outdoor table (since they didn't allow any indoor dining) and order directly from a waitress as their website didn't list the menu items we wanted. Despite it being a cold and intermittently heavily raining evening, the thrill of dining again and the outdoor heaters made it more pleasant.
- Cullen skink (traditional Scottish soup, creamed smoked haddock, potatoes, onions) £8.95
- Parmesan crusted chicken schnitzel (breaded parmesan crusted chicken breast served with side salad, herb butter, fries) £15.95 - it looked incredible and seeing other tables receive theirs is what made us order it. Just look at that crust, melted glistening butter and oil. It tasted good too which was naturally essential;
- Sunday roast beef with trimmings - given it was a Sunday I was torn between the schnitzel (managed to try someone else) and the Sunday roast. It was cooked through but still pretty tender with some lovely potatoes too.
The morning had a breakfast included, and their full breakfast( an egg, sausage, bacon, black pudding, haggis, smoked salmon, potato scone, tomato, mushroom, beans) certainly had everything you could possibly want (maybe other than tatties).
I can't imagine that I'd be in the area again as even if I returned to the Cairngoorms I'd probably try elsewhere. But if fate should deem it so, I'm coming back for the schnitzel.
