We arrived for lunch without a reservation and were accommodated in the bar rather than the very busy restaurant fair enough. we got drinks fairly quickly and ordered food which duly arrived. Hamburgers and scampi were fine not too much to go wrong with what is after all pre prepared food. The poached salmon on the other hand well, let's just say it hadn't been poached recently, in any sense of the word. Poached salmon should be warm, moist and flaky. I was presented with a solid lump of cold flesh with a couple of bits of skin hanging from it. I literally had to prise lumps off it it was like digging clay. It was barely edible cold, tough and chewy. The salad wasn't particularly appetising...
We met a friend here for lunch on a Tuesday. We had booked in advance, which we were glad about as it was busy. We had Cullen Skink, Seafood Platter both starters but served as mains) and Scampi. My husband says it’s the best Cullen Skink he has had, very filling. Although the Seafood Platter was a starter, it was big enough to be a main course. My Scampi was delicious, nice crunchy outside with plump scampi on the inside. Citrus Cheesecake and Rhubarb Cheesecake were to die for and again, large portions. Service was excellent. Prices reasonable. Staff friendly. The only negative comment is that the decor is very dark. A lovely meal. Recommended.
We arrived in Nairn quite late Sunday evening and struggled to find anywhere open. We walked into the Cawdor Tavern and was instantly welcomed by a member of staff. Busy, without booking she found us a table. We both had haddock and chips. The portions were huge. The fish was white and moist and sooo tasty. And the chips were gorgeous. Service was quick and staff were really helpful and very friendly. Would highly recommend. The pub is really clean and presented well.
We arrived for dinner without a reservation, it looked very busy in the restaurant but when we said we were happy to eat in the bar, we were quickly seated with a drink in our hand The menu is extensive and we found it hard to choose ! My husband had the Culloden Chicken, I had the sea bass which was amazing. Great selection of beers, especially from the Orkney Brewery which the same family own.

Excellent food and excellent service in a delightful tavern environment. We first went 8, 7, 6 and 5 years ago. Five years ago, things were just a bit off-kilter. We went back on this trip with fingers crossed and were delighted with truly excellent dining experiences. The haggis and sticky toffee pudding are magnificent, and so is everything else.
Booked in advance for lunch and a good job too, for a Friday lunch the place was packed. It's not cheap, but it is good value when you consider you get what you pay for. A good varied menu and you really do want to have a try of everything. This place is a must visit
Found this little gem of a pub dogs are allowed in the bar area which was great for us. The food is absolutely outstanding great choice on both lunch and dinner menus and the staff are very friendly and welcoming
A wonderfully small tavern (that can serve tour groups!! that serves up the best steak n ale pie and fish n chips plus great ales!! We loved it so much we went several times will return!!

Ok until i saw the waitress opening individual tea bags with her teeth before putting in a cup. I reminded her of germs and covid and suggested she used a small pair of scissors.
Love there Sunday Roast with all the trimmings. Desserts excellent too. Service from the young staff is very good.
