    Have been several times for lunch. Really good value for money, lovely setting and nice staff. Can be quiet when you arrive but more folk always filter in. The sriracha fries are so tasty and a big portion, plenty to share between 2. Love the BLT when it's on special, a classic sandwich but done really well! Have also tried the soup a couple of times, the chicken burger and the fish finger sandwich, all lovely :). Need to try the croque monsieur next because I've heard good things!

    Food and service good. However rowdy football crowd from Forres Mechanics were in the main restaurant. Couldn’t have a conversation with my partner because of the noise. We went into the bar as soon as possible after paying for a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere.
