Spey Valley Carvery

With travelers coming from around the globe, you would think there was more food options for a huge resort such as the McDonalds. This restaurant had a lovely selection but was hampered by lack of sufficient time to order.

stake house not open so they are serving food in tbe lounge with different menu don't waste your money food is not worth it only up side was we came on a Monday and tbey are part of the government scheme of 50% of eat out to help out so bill for 5 was half price

Perhaps we visited on a bad day, 30 Dec, a Sunday. We didn’t mind that there was no carvery, but we did mind that the food was poor. £4.50 for tasteless tinned soup. The rest of the fare was burgers, hot dogs, sausages, etc. Nothing was hot. It was a shame because the surroundings are great.

Popped in here for coffee to discover that it is not freshly made coffee but from a machine. Not nearly so good as freshly made from a Costa cafe. However the prices were ridiculous. We normally pay about £4.00 just under for 2 Costa coffees but here the bill was £5.50 that is some difference. There are other coffee shops in Aviemore and will use them in future

We visit Aviemore for a week every September and pop down to centre 2 or 3 times for coffee cake. This time we decided to have lunch in the carvery. We each had a lovely steak sandwich and a glass of wine. We put our order in just as lunch was going out for the conference of 200 so had a short wait but we were not left wondering as the Head Waiter kept us informed. All in all, a pleasant lunch, and well looked after.

I recently ate at Spey Valley Sports Bar restaurant and had a poor experience with one of the chefs, Derrick. The food was decent, but the presentation was unclear as it was not labeled which dishes were mains and which were sides. I raised my concerns with the restaurant manager about the confusion and Derrick's attitude. While the manager was helpful, they did not apologize for Derrick's behavior. I do not plan on dining there again in the future.

walked up here for sunday carvery, we were first in ,it was just after twelve and so I was first in line. I chose beef, when the chef was carving it I thought he was doing a few slices for everyone, but no, they were all for me ! five big slices of delicious beef, the best I,ve had in a long time, and then you get to help yourself to the trimmings, naturally I had to have two Yorkshire puddings, massive things, broccoli,carrots,parsnips, roasties, and lovely gravy. The best roast dinner in Aviemore I reckon, yes even better than the long established hotel in the main centre, and that's saying something.

This review is of our family experience at the cafe. We took our seats and ordered lattes from a young waitress. What we received was mediocre machine coffee. We were off to a good start. We then ordered gnocchi and bolognese for mains. When the bolognese arrived, the waitress apologised and said she didn't know what it was .. but I recognised it immediately defrosted and microwaved bolognese, mixed in with some penne and served without parmesan. The gnocchi was rubber like and without the promised mozzarella. We asked for the cheese at once and several minutes later we were ordered to get up from our chairs and collect it. I was wondering at this point what went into the £9 bolognaise price...

We arrived upon recommendation from a local restaurant as they were fully booked. As we walked through the restaurant doors, the room was decorated as if expecting a children’s birthday party. We were greeted by an enthusiastic staff member dressed as a pirate, who escorted us to a table. We were offered drinks and told it was a buffet service. Without doubt the poorest buffet selection we have ever experienced! Nothing was labelled to explain what we were eating. Staff were clueless not only on what food was sat festering on a hot plate but also struggled with the simplest of questions like, “Where is your restroom?” Although there were plenty of staff members in the room, no one seemed abl...
