The Restaurant
The Restaurant on the first floor

Our popular restaurant can be found on the first floor - just turn right up the stairs when you see Horace in the entrance. Open just about every evening throughout the year from 5.00pm, we can cater for up to 44 at any one sitting - busy enough to create a wonderful atmosphere and small enough to be cozy.

The restaurant is very popular and often busy. However, in the event that we can't provide you with a table straight away, just leave your name with our staff and pop downstairs for a pre dinner drink in the Alehouse. We'll call you when your table is ready.

Our extensive menu caters for all tastes and we'll guarantee that you'll be spoilt for choice!

The Alehouse

Whether you fancy a bite to eat to go with your pint or find yourself looking for lunch whilst on Fort William's pedestrianised High Street, our Alehouse Menu should have something to keep you going.

From midday until 9.00pm treat yourself to a piping hot bowl of homemade soup, or what better than a pint of your favourite ale and a huge home baked pizza, fresh from the oven! There's also plenty of freshly baked filled baguettes to choose from, along with quesadillas (ka-sa-diyas), and some favourites like our Steak & Ale Pie or Scampi & Fries.

Or why not take the load off your feet and order a cafetiere of our fresh ground coffee or a pot of tea?

And on those hot, balmy summer days, pop through to our beer garden and relax in the peaceful atmosphere with a bite to eat and something to drink. Ahh..., bliss..!
Look for these distinctive menus on the tables.
