Fish batter burnt and full of bones, scampi cheap frozen, macaroni thick and dry, mixed grill dry. Guy on next table moaned about tough steak.Cakes etc for high tea were OK. Hardly any staff but they were good. Freezing outside with lot of snow, so why curtains wide open and dining room doors wedged wide open, place was freezing.

Visited twice recently and second visit as good as the first. Had lunch both times and found the 2 course lunch menu great value and went on to have dessert etc. Food presented beautifully and was as good as it looked. Staff so pleasant and accommodating. I would suggest this is a real asset to Strathpeffer and hope locals as well as visitors take the opportunity to visit. One real blessing no smell of stale cooking oil that one so often comes across when trying to find an eatery. So highly recommend and thank you Red Poppy, you deserve to do well based on the service we received.

We sat at a table on the platform and enjoyed it so much we went the next day as well. I enjoyed my soup and square sausage roll and the ice cream sundaes were very good.

The food arrives quickly, usually about 15 minutes, and is very good indeed. I'll give you one warning though, the chef does like his seasoning, so try before you go throwing on the salt and pepper.Portions are huge, but if you ask, they'll do a smaller portion. The haggis is sourced from the local butcher Cockburns, who are very famous and extremely good. I didn't think I'd like haggis, but this is very good indeed.Out of season, the bar and restaurant are only open from about 5-7pm depending on who's on, but in season the bar does excellent lunches, you certainly won't go hungry!

My wife and I dropped in without a reservation to grab lunch en route north. We were the only customers in the pleasant conservatory and the service was naturally quick. Good leek soup (£4.10) followed by the daily special, chicken in a barbecue sauce (£10.95) with chips. Glasses of wine are provided in mini bottles (£2.10). We paid just £34.50 for two which was reasonable for a quick, solid lunch. Only complaint was re. The coffees (£2.10 each) which were tasteless.

We went to The Mallard for supper. Great atmosphere and varied menu, however the only gluten free meal available that day was a starter of Prawn cocktail! The staff were apologetic and did say they would normally have more options but not on the day we went. We just finished our drinks and left, which was a shame. I really feel more consideration should be made for Coliacs, it's not a choice I want to make , it's medically vital.

Stayed at the hotel & decided to try the restaurant - not disappointed at all. Service was efficient, staff young but well trained & friendly. Food was of a high standard and well presented.

Popped in here on a Saturday evening while on holiday. We arrived at 6pm and were the only diners however the place soon filled up. My partner had the duck which he felt was a little overdone but good all the same. I later heard another customer being asked by a different staff member how he would like his duck done, we were not asked. My haddock was good though rather large a portion for me personally. Dessert delicious. Will be back.
