Our food philosophy is simple
Our food philosophy is simple: keep it fresh, local, and delicious. That’s why our menus change with the seasons, making the most of what’s growing and available locally.
Where possible, we work with local farmers, bakers, and food producers from across the Speyside and Moray regions. This not only supports the local economy but also ensures our guests enjoy food that’s rich in flavour and rooted in place.
We also offer takeaway options for those looking to eat on the go—ideal for walkers heading onto nearby trails or travellers continuing their journey through the Highlands.
more than just a meal
The café has become a favourite among both locals and visitors to the Cairngorms, and it’s easy to see why. Inside, you’ll find a spacious and welcoming dining area with rustic furnishings, local artwork, dog friendly seating and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
Outside, our expansive terrace offers seating with stunning views of the surrounding woodland. It’s a peaceful spot to enjoy a leisurely coffee while watching red squirrels, blue tits, or even the occasional roe deer. We’re proud to be a dog-friendly venue, with outdoor tables suitable for visitors with four-legged companions.
a speyside favourite
We are known far and wide for our traditionally made Clootie Dumplings—prepared right here in our own kitchen using a treasured family recipe passed down through generations. Steamed to perfection and rich with warming spices, these traditional Scottish puddings are a must-try.
We’ve chosen the most popular ways to serve the Clootie: enjoy it plain, with cream, drizzled with local heather honey, or even served savoury-style with bacon and eggs. However you prefer yours, there’s a version to satisfy every palate.
Clootie Dumplings are also available to purchase online from our Shop, allowing you to enjoy this Speyside favourite at home or gift it to friends and family across the UK.
