As we move through the winter months it's all about delicious, hearty, home-cooked meals. We use Knoydart Wild Venison for our steaks, casseroles and pies, and have fresh fish sent over from Mallaig for Fish & Chips and Cullen Skink. Our team enjoy using this down time to try out new recipes, and we always make sure to have a few veggie and vegan options on the menu as well.
We can cater for gluten free and other dietary needs.
Special Occasions
We cater to a large variety of group bookings and special occasions ie. Birthday parties, last munro's, tour groups or family gatherings.

Music
When the community took ownership of the pub, one of things that a lot of folk wanted to see return was music sessions. In days gone by the Old Forge was renowned for almighty sessions - at times 10 or 20 musicians squeezed around a couple of tables, the music fierce, the craic on high form, and tunes and songs filling the air until the wee small hours.
​
We have a year-round schedule of music sessions - check out this page for info on what's coming up.
