Premier Travel Inn, Inverness

In an old distillery with plenty of local history and flavour. As well as the standard PI menu there was the scottish option so I tried haggis for starter. Someone here clearly has some tall cooking rings. The haggis, neaps and tatties came in a cylindrical tower nearly 4 inches high topped with very crispy onion slices, beautifully layered and surrounded by juicy gravy. Very nice.

The sirloin was finished but they offered fillet steak at no extra cost. Great. Ordered rare but unfortunately it arrived well done. Shame. Nice but would have been better rare. Chips remarkably soggy. Asked for no tomatoes but still two turned up.

Chilean carmernere very impressive. No local spirit available as a digestif despite posters on the wall saying so. Good meal but could have been great.
