The Grog & Gruel is a classic Scottish pub with a cozy atmosphere, featuring dark wood decor and stripped wood floors. It offers an extensive selection of cask-conditioned ales from independent breweries across the country. The upstairs restaurant serves a variety of cuisines including TexMex and Italian, as well as unique dishes like wild boar burger. The menu includes pies, burgers, pizzas, fish and chips, chilli, enchiladas and other classic pub grub options.
The food was served hot and neat. The ingredients are fresh and the quality of nice was awesome. Highly recommend

The food is OK, Nothing massively special but not a disappointment either. You can generally get in when the rest of Fort William is absolutely rammed and they have a couple of nice beers on tap. Service is OK although the staff are clearly rushed off their feet so don't expect attentive. Overall, not bad if you can't get in elsewhere.

Great little pub in Fort William. Stopped for a few drinks and a quick bite to eat after a bit of a hike. Really friendly staff, nice food, would recommend
Jackie R — Google review
The food was mediocre at best. My fish and chips was a very thin piece of fish that was dry and over cooked. The hamburger was more similar to meatloaf in flavor and had very little moisture. The staff was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was a little sterile seemed like the wanted to capture the tourist market but with providing very little effort beyond putting an open sign.

We ordered the **Soup of the Day**, which today was **mushroom soup**. I chose the **baguette** as a side—the bread was wonderfully soft, and the mushroom soup was **delicious and comforting**. Highly recommend the soup; it was **perfect for relieving fatigue**. We also got a **beef pie**—the meat was **tender and slow-cooked**, seasoned just right, and the **flaky pastry paired beautifully with the rich gravy**. Additionally, we tried their **craft beer**, which had **a great balance of maltiness and fruity notes**—definitely worth a try! The **dining atmosphere was pleasant**, though the **service was a bit slow**. Still, the food was **worth the wait**!

Came here ahead of participating in the Rat Race Sea to Summit Ben Nevis. What an absolute find. Sat upstairs in the restaunt area and the bar area downstairs was quite busy, a great atmosphere in both areas. Staff were polite and attentive. The food was delicious, cant recommend the Wild Boar and Haggis burger enough and the chutney was superb (could have done with a little more though). Nice selection of ales as well. Would highly recommend

We went with our family a couple weeks ago. I did phone up to see if we could book but it was pretty much just walk ins. We got a table. They are dog friendly and the food was fantastic. Nice to have a kids menu. Decent price. Our server was lovely. 🥰

Cozy place, perfect for a stop during a day tour. Enjoyed our food. Unfortunately the lady with black hair wasn’t friendly and gave dirty looks. Luckily we had a very friendly blond girl who helped us with takeaway when we had to go after waiting 30min for our food.

Nestled at the base of the UK's highest mountain, Ben Nevis Inn is a popular spot for hikers and travelers. The casual stone-and-beam inn offers a cozy atmosphere with real ales, pub food, and live music. Visitors often stop by for a drink on their way down from Ben Nevis and end up staying for a hearty meal. The daytime menu is available until 5pm, followed by an evening menu until 9pm.
Restaurant Specific Review We booked as a family for Father's Day. Right from the outset, all of the staff were helpful and friendly, unlocking the double door even before I got to it to allow me to get in with my wheelchair. The food is excellent. The Cullen Skink was described as the best they've ever tasted, and my venison burger was just perfect. All the food was delicious, with large portions all round. Maybe slightly on the pricey side (£20-£30 per head), but well worth it considering the rather remote location. It's in a gorgeous location with stunning views and right on the Ben Nevis path, allowing for pre- and post-meal wanders assuming you're suitably equipped. Wheelchair access is great, with a perfectly inclined ramp (easily doable without assistance). Although the car park is gravelled, you can be dropped off right at the ramp. Once inside, wheelchair manoeuvrability is a bit restricted with only a couple of tables you can easily get to, so you definitely need to reserve in advance and specifically mention your accessibility requirements. Overall, this is a fantastic restaurant (not a pub!) in a wonderful location. It was my first visit since becoming a wheelchair user, and I will definitely be back. Thoroughly recommended.

The best restaurant we ate at on our trip to Scotland. We arrived late, after 2 p.m., but the entire menu was available. There were many gluten-free options, and all the dishes we ordered were delicious, especially the haddock soup and the chicken with haggis. The waitress was very attentive

I can't comment on the rooms but I can sure comment on dinner. The atmosphere was fun and the food delicious! But the service was just fabulous! We just spent 25 days in Scotland eating out all over Scotland and the waitress we had at the Ben Nevis Inn was by far and away the best! And we had some excellent service! If you in Fort William find this place for dinner and go!

Location….. stunning, epic views. Tiny road to get too, but worth it. Hikers base to get to top of mount here. So parking is a bit tight along the road. The building is cute, looks like some reconditioning is going on currently , (10/25) Inside is a wonderful old hall, small bar, and bunch of tables. The food was wonderful, I chose chicken and haggis, it was great. The gravey was wonderful , and loved it all, cleaned the plate. Another in our party got the exact plate, and cleaned his as well. My wife got cajon chicken, bit spicey for me , but delicious nonetheless. We were part of a group 17 in all, not a single person left hungry or disappointed. And in total the bill, $375 for everyone!! I think we left $50 for our portion, with a tip. Well worth it.

This is actually a review for the Ben Nevis pub/restaurant. Fantastic food and incredibly friendly service in a 200-year-old converted barn. The Cullen Skink may be the best soup we've ever tasted! Great spot for lunch, dinner, or a casual pint after a long (or short) hike. Highly recommended!!

This was the highlight of our trip! The food is some of the best I have ever had - The Cullen Skink is insane. We went on a Thursday evening and got a lovely surprise to find out they have a folk band that play there from 9pm. The atmosphere of the place was fantastic throughout our visit and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. I can’t wait to go back again!

Nice enough pub, lovely staff and decent beers. Nothing amazing but certainly not bad either, wouldn't go out of my way to go back for a drink but definitely worth stopping in if you're passing, especially if you've just finished the walk back from Ben Nevis. *Not dog friendly, be aware if you have your dog with you you'll have to sit outside

Warm Service & Fantastic Fresh Food We came without a reservation and were welcomed with genuine warmth. The waitresses were incredibly friendly and attentive, and they found us a great table with perfect service throughout the evening. The food was absolutely fantastic – fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish was a delight. I highly recommend the venison burger, delicious!! A truly memorable dining experience. Unfortunately we discovered it only on our last evening in the area. Otherwise, we would have come more than once. We’ll definitely be back!

With a no-reservation policy, it encourages spontaneous visits, making it easy for guests to enjoy everything from hearty classics to creative dishes at their leisure.

Such a quick and delicious lunch! We went because they serve veggie haggis, and it dia not disappoint. Definitely try the local beers if you're visiting, everything was decently priced too.

Good pub experience today after the daily hike. Classic pub feeling. Table service. The waiters were very attentive and friendly. They gave good suggestions for food. I’d the haggis beeps and tatties as the starter, followed by the roasted lamb (special of the day). They have a couple of nice local beers. I finished off with a whisky recommended by the nice waiter – the highlight of the meal for me.

Beautiful lil pub, with a welcoming environment and friendly staff, was quiet when we first entered but soon filled up quickly as lunch time approached. Food was served quickly and was perfect temperature, with amazing taste, just what we needed during our time in the pub.

We visited this restaurant twice. The first time, we tried the Craft burger and the venison burger — both were delicious. On our second visit, I couldn’t resist ordering the Craft burger again, and my partner went for the chicken burger. Both burgers were excellent, and the staff were kind and friendly. Highly recommend!

My visit to Crofters Pub Restaurant was an absolute delight from start to finish. After a day of exploring the stunning scenery around Glenfinnan, this was the perfect place to relax and refuel. I was immediately struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout my meal. What truly set Crofters apart for me was how they welcomed not just me, but my four-legged companion. It's not always easy to find places that are genuinely dog-friendly, but here they went above and beyond to make sure my dog was as comfortable and happy as I was. A big thumbs-up for that! And the food? Absolutely top-notch. Every dish was beautifully prepared, packed with flavour, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. It was hearty, delicious, and exactly the kind of satisfying meal you hope for in the Highlands. I can't recommend Crofters enough. Whether you're a local or a visitor, with or without a furry friend, you're guaranteed a fantastic meal and exceptional service. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Nestled within the stone-built Garrison West Pub & Kitchen, Crannog at Garrison West is a beloved establishment that has been a part of the local food scene since 1989. While it recently relocated from its original spot on Fort Williams Town Pier, the warm and casual atmosphere remains unchanged. The restaurant offers classic pub fare paired with locally distilled spirits and draft beer.
We had dinner reservations so we were seated immediately. I think reservations are a must here - we were unable to reschedule ours to a later time because they were fully booked. We had their oysters and Cullen skin to start and enjoyed them both. We tried the hake from their normal menu and salmon from the specials board. Both entrees with delicious and a good portion! For dessert, we tried the rhubarb and brown butter custard tart and steamed pudding. Both desserts were delicious. I was a little bummed that the rhubarb wasn't incorporated into the tart - it was just served on the plate. The steamed pudding was great but my only criticism is the inconsistency of the sizes. We had two orders of the steamed pudding at our table and they were incredibly different in size - one portion was significantly smaller than the other and the same price (obviously). Overall, the food at Crannog is excellent and definitely recommend coming here if you are looking for a seafood meal.

5 Stars. Food: The food was delicious. The two types of meals my family ordered were fish-and-chips and cod. The meals were large, and only one of us finished the full meal. We also ordered squid rings that came with a special sauce for a starter. It was good, no doubt about that. Service: The waiters were good. It took a little while for the servers to take our orders and for the food to get to us, but other than that the service was great! Atmosphere: The ambiance of the place was wonderful! The chairs were comfortable and the decorations added to the charm.

\\ A Singaporean Girl Review 🇸🇬 I found the chef’s interpretation of Cullen Skink more towards a “watery” version. My haddock had a 2cm bone- so just be careful. Food is okay. Generously good servings of Fish and Chips and Mussels. Both of which, I would recommend. Atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.

This was a wonderful experience in our short visit to Fort William. All the food was really tasty. Oysters absolutely fresh. The scallops, cooked to perfection. The seafood tagliatelle, was rich, full of seafood and the seasoning was spot on. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. Recommended to reserve a table. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved our meal at Crannog at Garrison West! We had the special of the day with lobster and mussels in a creamy sauce—perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The creamy fish chowder starter was rich and delicious, and the dessert tart with brown butter, pistachio, and rhubarb was so unique and tasty. Cozy atmosphere, very friendly staff, and great value for money. Definitely coming back next time I’m in Fort William!

The Geographer is a charming bistro located on Fort Williams High Street, offering a cozy and convivial setting to enjoy global fare and an array of cocktails and beers from around the world. The menu is inspired by the owner's travels, featuring delicious international dishes made with Scottish ingredients. Visitors can expect an excellent selection of gluten-free options, including a tasty handmade burger served in a gluten-free bun.
We had a great experience at The Geographer! They were filled up by 6:45, and my husband and I waited about 10min for a table. They list their daily proteins on a chalkboard, telling you where they were sourced for your meal. Mussels and Sea Bass were incredible! So fresh! We also tried haggis for the first time here and were really impressed! We didn’t think about what it was and finished the entire portion! Shout out to the owner who was there on a Wednesday night working just as hard as everyone else, supporting his staff. A great manager is the foundation to a great restaurant and they’re definitely doing it right here. Thanks for the great meal! Pictured from top to bottom - mussels, haggis in the middle, and halloumi for starters.

Been there at 5.30pm on Monday, waited for 30mins for a table. The sea bass tastes good and fresh but fish portion is small. The sweet potato and salad is a good balance of the dish, a healthy pick if comparing to fish and chips. Some people detour to the Ben Nevis Bar and Restaurant for dinner right opposite, instead of standing outside to wait for the table, where is in high rating as well. The staff are friendly and caring. It didn’t take long for the dishes to serve.

Great atmosphere, service, and flavours. Fish n chips, the way I most enjoy them, very much like where I grew up in Western Australia where the battery is neat and thin. A tiny mix of salad came with the fish n chips and the ingredients varied a lot yet tasted very refined, having a great flavour together in big bites. The chips/fries were perfectly made as well. The chicken tenders salad was also great though I would have skipped on that main sauce they put on it after they plate it. The decorations were fun to be around and brought extra coziness. Staff were great and worked very fast. Food came very fast too. It was packed on this Friday evening around 7.30pm but we were the first in line for a table so it was a short 5 minute wait for some table to be available.
Jay — Google review
We got the salmon salad and fish and chips. Both were good, but I’m taking off a star because the menu and waitress didn’t mention that the salmon on the salad was cold. When ordering salmon salads, I’ve always received the salmon hot, so it was unexpected for it to be cold.

We stumbled upon Geographer by chance three years ago while visiting Fort William for hiking, and after just one dish we knew there was no need to look elsewhere for dinner. The à la carte menu is small but perfectly thought out, excellent fish and chips, delicious mussels, and so much more. I still dream about their Eton Mess, and the sticky toffee pudding is just as amazing. I also had probably the best lobster and langoustines of my life here. We came back three years later and nothing has changed – still absolutely banging. All in all, Geographer has become my absolute favorite spot in Fort William.

Glen Nevis Restaurant offers a taste of Scottish cuisine using locally sourced ingredients in a modern, pine-panelled setting. It's an ideal choice for visitors exploring Ben Nevis and the surrounding valley, located just a short drive from Fort William. The restaurant has garnered praise for its varied evening menu featuring burgers, pies, and traditional Scottish dishes. Visitors can also expect friendly staff and excellent service.

We had a wonderful lunch experience at Glen Nevis Restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We tried both the Nevis Burger and the Chargrilled Chicken B.L.T.

What made our visit even better was the friendly and welcoming staff. Everyone we interacted with was cheerful, helpful, and provided excellent service with a smile. You could tell they genuinely cared about the guest experience. Highly recommend stopping by for a relaxed lunch with a great view and even better service.

Had food and drink here (in the bar, not restaurant) twice when we stayed at the campsite. First night was a busy Friday night and the food was genuinely really good, way better than we expected 2nd night on the Saturday we ate a bit earlier just before 5 and the quality was definitely not the same at all, went from an 8/9 out of 10 down to a really standard 5/10, not sure if because of different cooks or what but massively different experience. Either way the beer was great, the service was fantastic and the pub itself is great. Would still roll the dice and eat here again if I was up here, worth a try cos if you get the good stuff it's really good Definitely stop here for food and drink 👍🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Located on the Town Pier in Fort William, Crannog Seafood Restaurant offers a unique dining experience with its red-roofed building overlooking Loch Linnhe. For over 20 years, it has been synonymous with serving fresh local fish and seafood in a relaxed fine dining setting. While specializing in seafood, the restaurant also offers meat and vegetarian options, including seasonal dishes like duo of local venison.
A visit to The Crannog was a special treat for us as we were touring the area on our honeymoon. And we were so glad we booked. I first visited The Crannog 20 years ago and it was still as wonderful as I remembered. Such a beautiful setting on the pier over the water, definitely ask for a table by the window! We watched the sun setting over the mountains and the seagulls while we ate. The food was delicious with a good variety on the menu, perfect portions and all beautifully presented. I had the summer vegetable tart to start and he had the sweet cured herring. We followed with lemon sole and Shetland salmon and finished with honey roasted peaches and pear and elderflower custard tart. All simply wonderful. We received fantastic customer service from friendly staff who all took the time to congratulate us on our wedding. What a great evening, we wish we lived closer so we could visit again sooner.

Most devine food - ranges among the best we’ve ever had! Everything was to die for and the compositions excellent! Location was super cute on the Loch. We wish we had stayed longer in Fort Williams to be able to eat here again!

Lovely location and stunning views. It was tied with The Coast in Langbank as best meal I have had in Scotland. The dessert was the tastiest dessert I have ever had in my lifetime. Drinks came after appetisers but waitress was very sweet. Wish they had a cheaper lunch menu as the meal ends up being very expensive for lunch as it is the same one as dinner.

I don’t actually like fish but my husband does and he absolutely adored his food! He got the chowder and the monkfish and loved it! I went for the veggie options which were yum, the croquettes to start and the tart for main. They do a really good gin called Neptune’s Staircase, try it with Pomegranate and Elderflower Bottle green. Really nice evening and really nice place!! Oh and the walnut and honey cake is so good! Not too much or too sweet at the end of a meal!

We were very lucky to get a table at this incredibly popular location! Right on the water with a great view and the food was absolutely delicious, a great end to a day's trek up Ben Nevis! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. We had the Cullen Skink for starter and mussels and lemon sole for mains, with a side of broccoli, all fantastic! All in all, a great experience that is not to be missed 👌🏼

Crannog - 100% excellent - food outstanding, service - second to none, restaurant set-up, views and ambiance - perfect. You will need to book ahead for this very popular eatery. Although very busy, you will experience personal and attentive care from the waiting staff, a vibrant though quiet restaurant and melt-in-your-mouth food. The menu has a wide selection with everything cooked with fresh and local ingredients and to a very, very high standard. I am sorry that I did not take any photos of our meal - but do go this easily missed excellent seafood restaurant. Shout out to Angie and Naomi who went above and beyond to ensure we had a special time (I think this is their priority for all diners!)

The salmon was absolutely fantastic. The best cooked salmon I ever had. My congratulations to the chef. All the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I particularly didn't like the garnish combination for the hake, but the fish was very well prepared and with care.

The Great Glen - JD Wetherspoon is a traditional British pub offering a wide variety of cask ales, beers, and standard pub fare. Situated at the end of the Great Glen, it holds historical significance with its stone structure dating back to 1698 and being remodeled in 1746 after a Jacobite siege.
Had a great experience at great Glen. The food was tasty, well-portioned, and served quickly. Drinks were great too—plenty of options at really reasonable prices. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was efficient. It’s a solid spot for casual dining and drinks without breaking the bank. Would definitely come back!

Made a quick pit stop here for lunch but the food was sooo bad. It was pretty packed with tourists so food took a while to be served. We were confused by the chicken katsu curry, where no part of the chicken was fried. The sourdough Margherita pizza was just frozen pizza dough with an abysmal amount of cheese on top.

I usually don't write negative reviews, but my experience here was so disappointing that I feel it's necessary to warn others. My friends and I visited this restaurant, excited to try the food, but our experience quickly soured. First, when my friend asked the server about the papadam, We noticed it wasn't fried properly. It was soggy and undercooked, which completely ruined the flavor. Instead of addressing our concern politely, the servers were incredibly rude and arguing we were rude to them when my friend was just asking for a replacement. They acted like we were bothering them and didn’t even try to make it right. It was really frustrating because we are not asking for something unreasonable—We just wanted a simple fix! The attitude of the staff was appalling, and it completely overshadowed whatever potential the food had. Customer service is such an important part of the dining experience, and unfortunately, this restaurant completely dropped the ball. We won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. There's no excuse for treating customers so poorly, especially when it's over something as minor as a cooking issue

Got an American burger and it was a frozen patty. Not a fresh packed one. The chips were good. Remember. You have to order at the bar and have a table number ready when you order. So figure out how to be in two places at once.

Good food and price, but not the quickest option if you're with a tour bus, as it's always full of groups. There are vegetarian and vegan options. I ordered a vegetarian brunch, and it was delicious, especially the sausages. Ordering can be tricky for not tech-savvy people, you need to scan a qr code or download the app and pay online.

Quite terrible experience. It reminded me why you don’t go to places with a too various menu. The chips were stale and flaccid, the onion rings were cold like they didn’t even bother leaving them in the frier. The chicken nuggets were soggy too. The burger was burnt but not in a positive way, just left on the heat for too long. The only decent item was the chicken burger but one out of five is not enough.

Nestled in the heart of Fort William, the Ben Nevis Bar is a charming pub that has been a beloved fixture since 1806. This historic establishment offers a delightful mix of hearty meals, including mouthwatering burgers and fresh seafood, all while boasting stunning views of the loch from its terrace. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for unwinding after exploring the breathtaking Highlands.
Great little pub, great service, great food, and great local beers. Service was excellent, and I heard servers encouraging people without a booking to grab a drink in the bar if they wanted to as there would be a 45 minute wait, and no matter how many times they had to repeat it, they did it with positivity every time. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here, but if you can, I would book, because, with reviews like mine, they’re gonna be popular.

We settled for this place when looking for some food after a full day out. It was busy and we had a short wait before being taken to our table. The food was fantastic so full of flavour and I would definitely come back here if I get the chance. The service was great from all the staff who served us. They also had live music later on but we did not get a chance to stay long enough to see. The views from the terrace are fantastic but the food is the star here.

What an amazing little gem in centre of Fort William!! We were recommended to go this bar by our hotel receptionist, and boy was she right! I don't think I ever seen this many different whiskies in one place! On the second night there, my partner and I both tried different, and it was deeeelicious! And I'm not a whiskey drinker. Food was to die for! Freshly made from definitely fresh ingredients, tasty, melt on the mouth. The people working there are amazing, friendly, and soooo nice! The first night we had fish and chips as it was Friday. Dah! Perfectly crispy, although chips could have stayed in a frier another couple of minutes. Second night I had chicken, and my partner had pie. Out of this world my chicken!! Definitely recommend coming here, even if it means waiting for a table or food. It's well worth of waiting.

We arrived late at the hotel, so there was no room in the restaurant, so several pubs were recommended to us. Looking for a restaurant, we saw The Ben Nevis Bar & Restaurant which attracted us and we immediately entered. The friendly staff welcomed us, but we couldn't sit down right away, it was crowded, so it was recommended that we go to the bar and have a drink until a place is ready. We didn't wait long, the table was ready. The food was excellent (Fish & Chips). The staff and the atmosphere are fantastic. How satisfied we were that the last evening in Fort William we decided to come to The Ben Nevis Bar & Restaurant again and have dinner. We also really liked the live traditional Scottish music that the group performed. I recommend everyone to visit this wonderful place if they have the opportunity 😀

Totally underrated bar/restaurant. We went there every day during our stay at Fort William because the food was just a dream. It was full every time and we had to wait in the nice bar, which was no problem at all and worth every second. The food was a pure feast for the palate. The starters were excellent and main dishes as well. The staff was super nice and asked several times if everything fits or we needed something else. Would recommend 10/10!

Was able to get in around 5pm without a reservation, but as we were leaving there was a flurry of people coming in. The atmosphere inside was relaxed. I got the seafood sampler as my main which came with mussels in a creamy white wine broth, smoked fish pate, fried fish, bread and sauce. Enjoyed the seafood, especially the mussels, though I would have preferred a nicer bread to soak up the broth and spread the pate onto. For dessert, I wanted to try the cranachan sundae, having never had cranachan. Inside was oats, berry compote, clotted cream (I think), ice cream and whipped cream. It was all excellent! My vegetarian friend enjoyed her veg burger. I felt the waitress was a little bit standoffish. Food came out in a reasonable timeframe.

We went in with high hopes and although the service was good but the food was plain average for the price. The vibe of the pub is great but the food quality is not justified for these prices. The venison lasagna in particular was quite disappointing because there were no layering (no lasagna sheets) and it felt like cheese topping on some meat.

The venue comes to life at night with a delicious cocktail menu, entertainment, and occasional themed nights. Despite being fully booked, the restaurant manages to accommodate guests who rave about the quality of dishes such as Haggis One Burger and Pulled Pork Croquettes.
This is a great restaurant and bar. The staff are superb, and really helpful. My husband is not a whisky drinker, but was interested in the chicken and haggis with whisky sauce. He was offered the chance to taste the sauce first, which was great and it tasted fantastic. The food was very good. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting our passing through.

We ended up here unexpectedly because the place we originally wanted to go to was closed. Although it was quite busy, we were still able to get a table for two. Service was quick and friendly. The only downside was that our drinks arrived after the food, and the amount of whisky we received seemed a bit small. That said, the food was absolutely delicious, and the dessert was both generous and very tasty. We have no regrets about dining here!

Had lunch here during a stop on our bus tour of the Highlands, and we were really impressed with the quality of the food. The place was almost empty when we arrived so service was very speedy. It was only a short walk from where our bus parked/departed so it’s a great location but most of the others from our tour didn’t go that far down the street so they missed out on this gem! We had plenty of time to enjoy our meal and get back to the bus with time to spare.

We stopped by here for a quick lunch and it was decently busy. We were sat at a sticky table that no one bothered cleaning. After ordering the cullen skink, we got 2 forks, 2 knives and just 1 napkin, all scrunched up - see the picture. Now I'm not one to complain about the table not being arranged perfectly, but this was hilariously bad, so -2 stars for that. The cullen skink was very tasty and actually arrived before our drinks, which again is silly, so -1 star again. The food was good, but the service although friendly was really bad so I would only recommend coming here if you're in a very tolerant mood. As for management - come on guys, you need to get the very basics of service right.

We came across this place by chance and we were really impressed with the quality of the food. From soup to dessert, everything was absolutely delicious and well cooked. The haggis, which I have only tried once before and didn’t like, was so tasty and completely different. My friend had Balmore chicken and I only tried a bit, but regretted I didn’t order it myself. And you must really try Baileys Bread and butter pudding (with cream and ice cream). Soooooo delicious! A shout out for the staff as well. We had a very warm welcome and a great service. This place is 100% worth a visit. We will definitely return when next around. ❤️❤️ Highly recommend the place!

The Nevis Centre is a versatile family entertainment venue with something for everyone. Kids can have a blast on the bouncy castle, dive into the ball pit, or try their luck at bowling. Conveniently located near local eateries and shopping, the center offers clear notice boards detailing its offerings and features a soft play area for younger children. The café serves delicious coffee and homebaked treats, while the ten-pin bowling provides great value for money.

A good location for spending some time with kids or friends. The bowling place is fun and also provides the possibility to buy drinks. I liked that they had some special support for launching the ball when playing with young children, as obviously they cannot throw it, but they can slide it on that frame, like a marble game ball. The Cafe has very few options to eat, a few cakes that aren’t made on the spot, some coffee (though not great taste) and snacks. The seating area has about 30 seats, mostly on tables with chairs, but also a couple of couches. Decent prices for everything, but they could work a little on the quality and service. I was never impressed about the service. They lack a simple free smile. Same for the softplay area for kids. No smiles at all, ever, and I’ve been here many times. I didn’t like at the softplay the fact that it is always a little cold, but mostly in the winter. Another thing about the top side of the softplay, is that they don’t switch on the lights at all times, and they aren’t with sensors for movement. My son doesn’t feel too comfortable in the semi dark areas there. On the entrance at the softplay, there are tables with seats for about 25 people. I wish they wouldn’t allow the food from outside or the Cafe to be consumed here. The entrance price for kids is up to £5, per session, depending on age. The toilets are okay, but at times they may be a little messy, because of the volume of people using them.

The place to go if you are in need of a soft play in Fort William. Quiet, spacious, friendly staff, I wish we had something like this closer to home. The play areas are exceptionally well stuffed for infants and toddlers, even the batteries are refularly changed in the toys and 95% of stuff was working, that took me by surprise. The other areas were awesome as well. The train and sitting area in the upper level are excellent. Just like the slides, sensory room etc.

The friendly service adds to the charm, as patrons engage in lively conversations that often reveal fascinating stories from locals.
Didn't like the look of the bar in the basement (a little too dark and cramped for my tastes) but the upper floor cafe is light, well furnished and has a good selection of food and drink.

Sorry for my long feedback but I have to tell my personal very annoying, terrible experience with their customers service!!! This morning, Sunday 13th September 2020, me and my gf wanted to enjoy the bar to get a breakfast. We walked up through the stairs after the main entrance on the street, we reached the upper floor and we stayed in a kind of "waiting area" in front of the bar entrance where we supposed to wait someone from the staff to welcome us and give us a table. There was another guy alone before us, he was waiting to get a table as well, so we have been very careful to keep 2 meters distance from and behind him and, of course, we were already wearing our masks as required. Nobody came to receive us instead we have been almost VERBALLY ASSAULT FOR NO APPARENTLY REASONS from one woman of the staff who sneaked up behind us. She is a skinny woman on 50ish age with glasses. She was very rude, absolutely unpolite, she almost shouted against us like a military boss who gives loudy strong orders. She said we were occupying the space where the customers suppose to transit between the shop, the bar and the main entrance to/from the street. Unfortunately there was NO OTHER AREA where we can wait and ask for a table!!! We were waiting just in front of the entrance of the bar respectful of all distance and rules and, I am sorry, we don't have the wings to fly two meters upon everyone. So that was the only one place available for temporary wait and get a table. That's it!! I looked this woman she was clearly angry and nervous and I was almost shocked while I was looking her behaviour. I didn't say anything, I didn't want to start an argument in a public place and for a moment I thought what it would've happened if instead of a quiet couple like us there was a group of 4/5 people or worst a big family. I just took my girlfriend's hand and encourage her to leave that place straight away. I got out on the street and I felt very annoyed and angry for long time. I needed to smoke a cigarette to try to calm down. Then we walked forward along High Street less than 50 meters and we got immediately a table in another local pub at the next corner. We were served from a very friendly, funny waiter, we enjoyed amazing Scottish breakfast and we left for him a good tip for his sympathy and great attitude with customers. Tomorrow definitely we'll come again to the same pub. For all our holiday period we'll spend in Fort William, despite we get currently an accomodation close to the Cobbs Cafè, we'll definitely avoid to come again in this place. I just want to suggest to the Cobbs Cafè manager to improve/re-organized the area where the customers suppose to ask and wait for a table... or.... More easily... CHANGE THE PERSON IN CHARGE to manage the bar entrance because it's evident that woman is not able to communicate with customers and manage the situation in a busy day.

It's the first bar of its kind in the area and serves wood-fired pizzas and salads until 9 pm. The bar has a cozy atmosphere with good music and a well-designed space located in a beautiful spot. They offer delicious and unique pizzas as well as gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free, and organic options.

Probably usual around here but you need to order food from the counter when you dine in pizza. That's ok but as a place with an extensive selection of beers you have to walk to the other end of the bar to see any type of drink list from the screens. There's only pizza list available at the counter. Pizza was mediocre at best and at the price of £16. Tomato sauce is quite dominant in all pizzas and all pizzas has as little cheese as possible. Some slices are almost completely without cheese. I would say a frozen pizza from a supermarket with few additional cheese slices could be even better. Overall the bar looked good and we enjoyed sitting there with drinks. They had their own decent gin too. So good for drinks, not so good for pizzas!

Highland Cinema is a state-of-the-art independent boutique cinema and cafe bar located in Fort William, Scotland. The cinema boasts two theatres of different sizes, showcasing a mix of Hollywood blockbusters and independent titles. The cozy cafe bar offers a wide range of delicious food options, including gourmet pizza, salads, charcuterie, and Scottish-origin drinks such as beer, gin, and whisky. The venue's design reflects a traditional bothy with local stone construction and a red corrugated roof.
This was my first visit to any cinema since I've been in a wheelchair and I was not a little bit apprehensive. Fortunately, my fears were unfounded as it's fully accessible (with a couple of caveats). Staff were immediately friendly and helpful and, I'm sure, would have been on hand if needed. Pricing is pretty much standard for cinemas these days, so can't really complain. They accept the CEA card. Food-wise, they do their utmost to source locally, which is good. We had a coffee in the café after our cinema visit and I'll definitely be checking out Glen Lyon coffee again. The cakes we had were also delicious. Incidentally, you get a 10% discount on food and drink with your cinema ticket. This was definitely a positive experience and one which made me slightly regret not pushing myself to go sooner. I'll definitely be more inclined to go in future.

From there on it felt like the staff didn’t want to know, they all hid behind the bar or in the kitchen and even if you made direct eye contact they didn’t come over to you. Considering less than a quarter of the tables were full, I would have expected better from the 3-4 serving staff there. After my main I sat for over 20 minutes trying to make eye contact to order dessert and only when someone waved their arm around to get attention did anyone emerge from behind the counters. When I went to pay I used cash and with the look the sever gave me, you’d have thought I just killed their pet. All I can say for the place is that the food is good, even if they have reduced the portion size of the nachos.
