Although not strictly in Torridon (it's in Achnasheen), it is located at The Torridon hotel where the stables are. They are the Gaellic words for pig and cow (vs. in Vietnamese where they are the words for beef and squid funnily enough) and the adorably fluffy Highland cattle can be seen right outside grazing away happily.
Given Scotland's newly opened travel, there weren't many options for dinner nearby but it was an available affordable place, that was happy to have us (even though we were supposed to leave by 8pm and were not allowed to drink alcohol inside). After the very long 7-8 hike up Beinn Alligin it was lovely to be able to sit inside and enjoy a meal.
- Sourdough, whipped butter, olives £4 - wouldn't normally have ordered this especially considering we had burgers but I think we were just so hungry. From memory it was nice spongy and seasoned;
- Highland beef burger (caramelised onion, gherkins, Isle of Mull cheddar, fries) £16 - it may seem counterintuitive to adore the cows and then eat one, but I wanted to try it just to know. It was served medium and was reasonable although I would have preferred a thicker patty. Honestly couldn't tell a difference between this and other beef, but I suppose that was unlikely to be the case with a patty;

- Aubergine burger (applewood smoked cheese, tomato sauce, parmesan, basil) £16 - a nice crumbed patty although would have been nice with a bit of salad in there;
- Sticky toffee pudding, vanilla icecream £8.5 - sweet, soft, hot, delicious.
Overall an adequate meal like a gastropub in a pleasant setting. The outdoor areas where people were drinking and watching the cows and scenery over the lake would be particularly lovely in normal times.
