The Winking Owl, Craft Ale Pub

I visited in the august and had a great dinner and dessert. fish and chips and twill rings in dedicated frittier!

The food here was very good and the portions were large. We got the chicken burger and the beef roast. The roast was massive and perfectly cooked and the chicken was charred just the right amount. The only thing I wasn't amazed with was the golden margarita, but they have plenty of good beers and other drinks to choose from.

Food was seriously, genuinely lovely. The haggis was another level, and for someone who doesn't eat or even entertain the idea of mashed potato, this dish was fantastic. Beers were great and from the local brewery too. Dessert was very good. The only minor let down was waiting time between main and pud, but that is me being overly critical! Overall, a great experience and would definitely go back if I find myself in the area again!

We stopped by on our way back from Aviemore and enjoyed some beers— I had the Cairngorm Gold. The interior is nice, and there's plenty of outdoor seating, perfect for a dry day. However, the entrance to the pub can be a bit confusing since there are two options. If you go up the stairs, you'll reach the restaurant, while the entrance at the back leads you to the bar and beer garden. Overall, it's a great pub for a quick stop if you're in the area.

I had an excellent experience with their gluten-free battered fish and chips. I also tried the gluten-free brownie dessert, which was delightful. The staff seemed very knowledgeable about gluten-free options as well.
