The Main Bothy

It was late Saturday afternoon and we was not sure this place would be open. I know this place is popular so we were chuffed to get a seat as long as we were away within an hour and a half. That was plenty time for us. This place is located on the high street in Burghead there is plenty parking nearby. I was not very adventurous as I went for the fish and chips and it was lovely. It was a generous helping. I would certainly recommend you book ahead to avoid disappointment especially if you plan an evening visit. It was not too busy when we were here but I can imagine it would be quite crowded later on.

Our party enjoyed meals on two separate occasions when we were staying in Burghead. We had reserved tables in advance, highly recommend you do this. The food was outstanding. Lots of delicious fresh fish dishes and other meals. The service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely visit again if I was in the area.

A nice place to eat and drink and to rest your legs. It was hard to spot, and I'd passed it many times by car without realising it was a place to eat. Service was friendly but slow. We had the Cullen Skink, pizza marinara, and carrot hummus and finished it all. Tea was good, but why not fill the small pot with hot water instead of half filling it? Overall, it is a warm and inviting place, reasonable priced and serving good food.

What a gem you have in Burghead. A clean, warm, invitingly decorated space with plenty of locally sourced flavor. Their Mussels were absolutely the best I've ever had. All the meals that night were portioned generously, prepared with really fresh ingredients, by skilled knowing hands and served by a really incredible wait staff. We are looking forward to visiting again!

Can't really comment on the atmosphere as we where the very first customers of the day having been let in slightly early. We had only planned grabbing a couple of coffees to go but once we had seen the quality of the bakes and cakes and the description of food on the menus we decided to forget about the granola and order some breakfast. We opted for the full Scottish, and the Eggs Holliandaise to accompany our 2 cappuccinos. Everything on the plates was delicious. The best breakfast I have had in a long time. The staff where great, very friendly. Definitely a place I would recommend to friends and family.

Lovely place to eat with very friendly staff. Went with a friend and my baby. The staff were so accommodating finding a table that would fit the pram around it. Food was delicious! So refreshing and very good quality. We didn't feel rushed at any point. Able to take our time in a warm relaxed atmosphere. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone.

The Bothy and their vintage paella van were the perfect catering for our wedding. The gorgeous van, and those incredible paella pans became a focal point of our festival style reception. The food was amazing, not just the show-stopping paella, but the breads and salads served with it too. What a perfect way to show off local produce to our guests from around the world. Ruth and the team were very helpful in the planning and lead up and made every effort to answer all our questions and cater to our guests requirements. Thank you Bothy!
