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 were looking for somewhere to have coffee and a scone when we came across this restaurant. It had outside seating but we were surprised at how spacious it was when we decided to sit inside. It was very clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The waiter said he would have gone over to the bakery across the road for scones if they had run out. I overheard the waiter asking a customer who had come inside to eat if he would like the water bottles on his bicycle outside refilled before he left. What a nice touch!

Huge thanks to Pam and her team for helping feed breakfast to 20 hungry rugby players as we travelled through on the way to a match.Went the extra mile to accommodate such a large group, and breakfast was outstanding.Need such places to thrive, so do what you can to support!

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.

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.

Visited last week(Friday 1st) with family. 13month, me and my partner, my sister and her partner and my mum. Made welcome when arrived and staff very friendly. Ordered a mix of food and my son tried a bit of everyones! I had the ciabatta special (Turkey) and my partner had the highland melt panini. Both were delish! The coleslaw is really really tasty! Imagine it's made in store as it's so creamy and tasty! Other meals were baked potato, wrap special(think was sweet chilli something) and a scone. Coffee and the special white choc snickers also ordered. No complaints from anyone about anything served. All players finished and even a couple wee cheesecake cup things taken away. Reasonable pricing, made space for us (5+highchair) and made welcome. Will return on our next visit north in summer.

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.
