"We booked a table here because we had family visiting and wanted to try something different. The last time I visited, over ten years ago, I was a bit disappointed as it felt somewhat outdated. However, I heard that there are new owners, so I decided to give it another chance. I’m glad I did! The food was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and the service was outstanding. The dedicated gluten-free menu was a big hit with the coeliac member of our group, who felt truly accommodated rather than receiving a token effort. This place has definitely made it onto our regular list now. Location rating: 5."

Welcome! The portions here are huge and the food is incredibly delicious! I even forgot to save some for my dogs and ended up buying a kids' portion of homemade chicken nuggets. Overall, I will definitely be coming back and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to others!

"The Crown Anchor offers a spacious setting, but it's worth noting that it could become quite loud if the place were full. The comfortable chairs were a plus, although we wondered about the accessibility for individuals in wheelchairs. One aspect that could be improved is the ordering process – having to order from the bar felt a bit less convenient for a place that presents itself more like a restaurant than just a pub. Additionally, parking was a bit tight, making it a bit challenging to navigate when the lot is more than half full. The culinary journey had its ups and downs. The mussels in white wine, garlic, and cream sauce, while generous in portion size, left us craving more flavour. On the other hand, the Breaded Brie Wedges, while delicious, had a disproportionately thick layer of coating compared to the brie itself. The accompanying sauce was a delightful touch. The Chili Con Carne was undoubtedly a star of the evening, receiving rave reviews from everyone at our table. It was remarkably flavourful and well-seasoned. The Wholetail Scampi, while decent, didn't stand out in any particular way. The Steak and Ale pie, however, was a comforting delight – not only was it nicely prepared, but it also came with a generous serving of vegetables. Considering the restaurant's location in Scotland, we expected a more extensive whisky selection, especially given the prominent display at the front. While the whisky options were okay, we were hoping for a wider range and a dedicated whisky menu, given the focus on whisky on the website and in the display. Additionally, it would be a great enhancement if the staff were trained by professionals in whisky tasting and knowledge, which is something we would have expected given the restaurant's emphasis on whisky. The Crown Anchor in Findhorn offers a pleasant dining experience with some room for improvement. The food had its highlights, particularly the Chili Con Carne and Steak and Ale pie, but also some misses, like the mussels and overly coated Brie Wedges. With a more extensive whisky selection and staff training, the bar could elevate the overall experience. The restaurant's ambience is comfortable, but attention to accessibility and ordering convenience would be appreciated."
