Croft - Highland

I recently visited my hometown to see my family after a long time, and the restaurant connected to the Croft was a place I used to frequent. I had been raving to my step-son about how delicious Will's Mac and Cheese was, and he was not disappointed. In fact, during our second visit, he managed to eat two whole portions of the Mac and Cheese in one sitting. This place is a hidden gem, full of charm and a friendly atmosphere. And the prices are unbeatable – I don't know where anyone could find a cheaper meal! Don't listen to previous reviews claiming it's overpriced.

It's a nice cafe for a quick lunch and portions are good and tasty but a bit overpriced. The chance to sit outside is welcome but some sort of deterrent to the huge and fairly aggressive seagulls is needed (like one of those kites restaurants fly that are pretend hawks). Also the courtyard would really benefit from a nice brick or wooden enclosure to hide the wheelie bins.

I have been here a few times , thought I Would try Scottish breakfast which was good but missing a few main pieces such as black pudding and round of toast , mushrooms in batter were not very nice, partner had a panini which was over cooked which we mentioned to waitress who Offered another but we were pushed for time , kids had fillets which they loved , service was great waitress was very kid friendly and made sure they were made welcome , such a lovely spot outside where we sat at as it was a lovely day Was ideal as we had our dog with us , waitress also made sure the dog got a drink to , we will def come back again when we visit in hope that it was just an off day in the kitchen

We had breakfast here and it was fine the place itself is an interesting building and they serve a good range of casual foods and main dishes at fair prices for this part of the world. We were greeted with a smile and service was prompt.. It is quite spacious inside and was clean and well cared for. We would return here.

I visit this place often and enjoy the food , most days I've been in the food has been tasty and enjoyable but I visited one Saturday and it was utter chaos, the waitress was rushed off her feet, trying her best to keep everyone happy and still pleasant to her customers , but the orders coming from kitchen were mixed up , the problem being a shortage of staff on a very busy day, owners need to take this on board and rectify it before losing customers , well done to the team who tried their best but it just got too busy to cope, especially now the football season has started again ,it will only get busier
