Visiting from Canada we had a LOVELY dinner here. My husbands grandpa was literally talking about eating a pork knuckle in the good old days 15 minutes before heading here for dinner. Just so happened they had it on the menu! All of our dinners were delicious with a great atmosphere. I would definitely come back in a heart beat to this wonderful place.
Our favourite place to eat, food is always good the staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is relaxing.
It's kinda pub food but one that is actually nice. There are two sides in the restaurant one for "fine" dining and other for casual dining where you order at the bar and food is taken to your table once is ready.
I didn't find it overpriced and portions were well sized. There were quite a few options for vegetarians which is always a good things for me. I had the stuffed pumpkin with lentil Dahl, served on rice which was supposed to be coriander rice but it was just plain basmati. The greens garnishing on top of my pumpkin were a bit off and I just put it aside. Overall my dish was nice.
My husband asked lamb with cheddar cottage pie and veggies. He said it was quite nice too.
I'm planning on coming back to try their other dishes as they all sound interesting.
We were staying at the Holiday inn Express across the car parking lot from this restaurant. This is a convenient restaurant with good parking and a good menu. It you want table service you can sit in the restaurant area. This fills up so book ahead. They have a good number of tables in the bar area so you can eat without reservations. I had a burger and a salad and enjoyed it very much. Be sure and make a reservation if you want to eat in the dining room.

We had a lovely lunch at The Snow Goose yesterday.
It's owned (or franchised) by vintage inns so they don't make everything fresh and it is classic pub grub so I've scored it on this basis.
It had a fair few people in for a Monday lunchtime and the fires were lit so it was cosy. I like the decor-all woody and stone floors.
I ordered scampi and chips from the daytime light bites menu and added bread & butter for £1. I got a massive plate so light it was not but it was nice. It was a mix of scampi & prawns and the chips were crispy. Scampi in general is never going to win awards but it's a great comfort food. I didn't really need the bread after all with such a big portion!
My other half had a burger with bacon & cheese. Again, it was a large portion and he didn't quite finish it. He said the burger was nice, not outstanding but nice.
The Snow Goose has been there for years and I've had lots of good meals there and a few not so good. It's near the retail park so handy for going to the cinema or shopping afterwards. As I said at the start, I've scored it in the category that it's in - for pub grub I rate it 4 stars but I wouldn't go for a special occasion or fancy meal.
S other reviews have stated, its very convenient to the Holiday Inn. The selection and quality of food was very good. The only reason it missed out on that fifth star was that our waitress, Kasia, was terrible. Her attention was lacking, she barely listened, we waited a long time for the bill, and I dont belive she gave me decaf with my desert as requested.
Standard Vintage Inn (parent company) fair. Not fine dining but equally not McDonalds.
One of the few eatery chains that does cooked-to-a-standard well. Would happily eat here again or at most of their other locations.
A great place for Sunday lunch.
You don't have to book to visit the Snow Goose but it does get busy at peak times and you might have to wait.
The food is pretty good, reasonable cost and the menu changes regularly.
The interior has a real country pub feel, the open fires are fantastic on a cold Highland day.
Just make sure that they have definetely put your order through to the kitchen - twice I've waited over an hour for my order because it didn't go through.
Wow! Stopped at this pub after arriving at Inverness airport. We were expecting the usual pub grub type of thing with OK service. We were shown to our seat (by the open fire - big bonus as it was a very cold night) and served at our table very promptly. The food was bar food, but excellent. Cannot recommend enough.
A really nice pub and good place to eat. I have eaten here a few times and enjoyed my meals. I have also been here for drinks before and after going to the vue cinema. The food is good and the drinks are well priced too. Would certainly recommend a meal or drink here.
One of my Favourate restaurants, The meals are really nice for the price, The best feature this place has is the big open log fire that they open up in the winter, Great to get a table near the cosy fire in which is so relaxing. Somtimes theres a long wait for your meal but its well worth the wait,
Very cosy atmosphere dog friendly restaurant. The food was excellent and the service was very good. The seating area is quite spacious and comfortable and the general feel is very relaxing.
The dog was also provided for with water dishes and a very generous selection of treats.
We were advised to book in advance as the tables for clients with dogs are limited and at certain periods they are very busy.
The restaurant is accessible to less able people and there is generous sized parking area.
Weather permitting it's possible to eat outside.
Good portion size and value got money. The food was a little over seasoned for my liking but kids would love it. Dogs are welcome here.
Sunday Roast…get in early, all the real house made gravy you can pour on it.
Also the properly salted fudge pudding!
The sauces here were on point, as was the roast pork belly.
We rolled out of the Inn into the carpark.
Table service from Tom was excellent.
Popped in for an early lunch after a Saturday morning shopping and it was nice and quiet
Service was great from the waiting staff but for some reason the manager was having a little tizzy and was stomping around grumping at everyone....most unprofessional!
The food was excellent, i had the sea bass and my other half had the gammon....i forgot to take photos i was so hungry!
Dessert was a delicious mini brulee and espresso and himself had a chocolate honey pot which was like a little easter egg ...beautifully presented!
A very pleasant meal.
Food was absolutely amazing. Really good value for money, be sure to check this place out when visiting Inverness out. Made last minute reservations and the staff didnt realise the kitchen closes at 8:45pm (no more food orders aftet this point) however the staff understood our plight and made an exception we were arrived at 8:47pm. Still got served good high quality food, no corners were cut.
Lovely meal with the family here tonight, and Creme Brulee for pudding was particularly nice 👌
I had the Oyster Mushroom Burger for my main, which (as a vegetarian) was a nice change. Pleasant friendly service 🙂
Recommended.
We recently went for a long weekend in Inverness and stayed at one of the Travelodges. Nearby was The Snow Goose so we decided to go there for an evening meal. What a pleasant surprise. It was an excellent choice, from the very start. We were made most welcome at the door, us two humans and our dog. We were shown to our table and made sure we were comfortable. The menu was broad and what we chose was mouthwatering and it left ours and our pet dog Dayly appetites satisfied.
A definite place to revisit if in the area again !
Walked in on a busy night. Met by a lovely manager and served at the great bar staff for drinks whilst they prepared a table. We were served by the fabulous Emma. She was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, I am allergic to Dairy and Emma was so helpful. Whilst not gourmet the food was tasty and plentiful with a really good menu. Great value for money too and on a really cold night the open fire was just perfect.
Service was fantastic! They accommodated us even though it was a busy night for dinner service, but we were not in a rush, just wanted to enjoy our dinner. Food was great and we enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. There were two unhappy tables near us with insignificant complaints but our server Tom handle them both well and was again very accommodating to both parties. Highly recommend for a cozy sit down meal in the highlands!
Very handy If staying at one of the 2 hotels nearby. Menu for all tastes. Bar and restaurant area comfortable. Food choice somewhat better than average and no complaints about quantity. Service pretty slick with good humoured servers. Emma on this occasion. Resturant busy today and everyone coped although food temperature suffered slightly. All in all a pleasant experience but if you like a beer keg is the best option. Hand pumped beer used to be available but sadly disappeared.
