Vegan cancelled

This establishment has removed vegan options- due to a customer complaint about the vegan burger.

I'm planning a visit to the area and just went to cross-check this comment. The business has commented on Facebook "we will not be bullied into re-instating those fake ‘burger’ imitations, as we serve meat-eaters first and foremost". Very odd. This business should be removed from HappyCow.

A real vegan menu (and a vegetarian one)

We arrived past the time to have dinner. Normally we could have had only dessert, but they accepted us anyway and we were with two dogs!

What pleasure to discover a real full vegan menu with multiple choices! Same for the vegetarian customers.

Food was really good and homemade (except I think for my burger buns, but you know, it's so rare, you can't blame them for this!)

Everyone was really kind and nice, it was really agreable to have dinner there!

Def book ahead!

Seems to always be full so do make sure to book a table! They do have a vegan menu, not very big but everything we tried were super nice! Try the vegan haggis, delicious!

Great vegan haggis!

We booked a table here for early evening mid-week and were glad we did as they had several other bookings and ended up having to turn away some walk-ins. We could certainly see why it is popular, with a separate vegan menu with four or five main-course options. We both opted for the veggie haggis with veg and wedges and really enjoyed it and the prices were really reasonable - under £30 for two mains and drinks. The only downside was them not having plant milks for a hot drink after dinner, but we'll certainly be visiting again when we're next in the area.

Pros: More options that just burger or curry!, Really tasty veggie haggis, Decent portion size

Cons: No plant milk

Good grub.

Have a separate vegan/veggie menu. Good food but all fried nothing freshly made. Prices are fair and a lovely wee place.

Pros: Vegan/veggie menu., Lots of options.

Cons: All fried food.

Specific vegan menu with about 5 main options

Really liked the separate menu for vegans, lovely tasting food. Drinks were expensive (£2 for a small can of fizz) we stuck to water and spent £60 for five main dishes.

Nice little place

Visited here last week with family - parents vegan, children vegetarian.
There was good choice for all and the food was delicious, portion sizes good and reasonable price.
Decent beer selection as well.
Unfortunately, was so full from the excellent puffin ball starter and main meal that couldn't try the desserts, but they sounded very nice.

Pros: Varied selection, Delicious food, Nice venue

Great vegan menu

A lovely little place with a dedicated vegan menu. So nice to have several options to choose from. I recommend the haggis ball starter and the chocolate brownie dessert! Very friendly service. As others have mentioned, book a table to avoid disappointment!

Pros: Lots of options, Separate vegan menu , Friendly staff

Lovely wee place

Lovely wee place in Grantown on Spey, lots of vegan options (separate vegan menu was as in earlier pics) and good if you have omnivorous companions. Had the veggie/vegan haggis, was lovely,warm and filling on a cold autumnal evening. They also have an impressive selection of whisky, local gin and beers. As others have mentioned if you want a ‘prime time’ dinner spot you really need to book. We were there on the doorstep when they opened so were able to get a table without booking. Staff were friendly and service was good.

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Lots of whiskies, Cosy

Cons: Only open from 5pm

Great separate vegan menu

The restaurant is small and cosy with a relaxed vibe. It was very busy on a Friday night so I'm glad we booked a table! I'd checked when booking that they definitely offer vegan options, and they'd remembered before we arrived - they'd already put the separate vegan menu out for us on our table.
The menu is pretty good including several starters (haggis balls, loaded skins etc). 6 mains options, including two types of burger (the cairngorm was delicious!) Dessert options too.
Apparently one of their staff is vegan and I think it shows. Even just having vegan cheese for burgers and vegan condiments on offer is a nice touch you don't always get in other places.
A great option for dining out if you're in the area.

Pros: Staff that understand veganism! , Separate vegan menu, Gluten free options also available
