Lovely place to have Sunday lunch. Warm and inviting. Very friendly staff and good service. We had the carvery lunch, which was superb. Choice of roast meat carved for you and help yourself to the veg. All fresh and hot. We sat in the bar where there is a lovely wood burner to keep you toasty.

Fantastic family night out 1.10.23.I was on business but grabbed the opportunity with my relatives to enjoy some real tasty pub grub, and we weren't disappointed.Start to finish, nothing was too much trouble and the food was so tasty and filling.100% recommend and will visit next time in the area.

I know I go here a lot, but it really can't be faulted.the food and drink are always great. The key thing however is the quality of the service, it is always top notch . In short a great place to go.

Visited today for the Sunday CarveryIn summary had a really nice meal at a good price, was not too busy and great views outside. I would definitely visit again, this time I would visit on a Tuesday for Quiz Night or Friday for the Steak Offer. I would summarise my visit today as;Food (4-Stars)Was on the whole excellent - I had all beef, turkey and gammon, all were cooked really well. The cauliflower cheese and sweed was excellent and good giant Yorkshire puddings. The only negatives were the roast potatoes were pretty poor....they seamed deep fried rather that roasted, very hard and dry and tasted bland - I did not eat them. The mash potato was dry - needed mill/butter - however I mixed them with gravy. I had no room for a pudding as the Carvery was plentiful and very filling.Service/atmosphere/Value for Money (5-Starts)Great with no complaints

Had lunch in here on Sunday afternoon. There was a carvery and it was great. We also had dessert mixed berry pavlova with tea afterwards. Absolute value for money considering today's prices. Facilities were excellent and the surroundings very scenic, we decided to take a stroll around the river afterwards.Parking: Although I could get parked and there was no real issue I think parking may be a problem in the future. I was lucky to get the last space

A nice tavern, divided in a dining room (open to all) and a pub (not accessible to children). Very nice staff, efficient service, complete menu, good choice of beers. The food is prepared with attention, and is really good. Exception for the ice cream that was really poor in our opinion.

This was a recommendation whilst we visited Forres. A lovely old pub with outside seating next to a river walk.Great seafood and reasonably priced.Small car park but on street parking available a short walk away.
Lovely food. Great service. I had chicken with chilli and BBQ sauce with a salted caramel apple pie and custard which was great. The whole family enjoyed their meal. You can get smaller portions and kids menu too.Kid-friendliness: Kids were made welcome.Dietary restrictions: There were some vegan options.

We came here after raving about it last year on our visit to Forres, excited to leave our favourite restaurant till our last night here and to introduce our favourite eatery to my partner. When we were given the menus we realised that it had changed massively - reduction in choices, mostly seafood based, and the prices were extortionate compared to other places we had eaten in the week. We ordered prawns to start and small sirloin steaks that were a whopping £26.80! (Not even Miller & Carter steakhouse charge that for a sirloin steak!) However - we paid it because we knew it was amazing last time and expected the same. The prawns never turned up and out came the mains. All over cooked, tasted purely of charcoal / the grill and covered in gristle. The garlic butter was essentially water and the quality was unbelievably disappointing. The best part of the meal was the grilled tomatoes. Our waitress was so apologetic and lovely, and I was so upset as it was that we just paid the bill and left as quickly as possible without too much complaint other than expressing our dismay. However - I would recommend that people venture out to other areas such as Nairn & Elgin for meals or to other areas of Forres. We won’t be returning - which has been a huge heartache of this trip.

Our first visit to the Tavern and very impressed. Although we stay in Inverness we shall certainly visit again. Very pleasant and attentive staff. Most importantly the restaurant food was just so good. The starters of Thai style fish cakes and the sticky Korean chicken fillets were so tasty. From the signature dishes we chose the superb braised ox cheeks and the fillet of haddock. Although the restaurant was busy staff service was very good.

Lovely food, excellent service, bought a friend to visit and to have a lovely meal.It's a shame that there was a rowdy bunch of people, that spoiled the atmosphere.Left before deserts as got fed up with the rowdy people.
