"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."

Terrific bar with great welcoming atmosphere. Very busy bar with great friendly service. Good food and large portions. The difference in the crown and Anchor under new ownership is stratospheric.

Excellent! Very welcoming, food service superb. New owners have turned the place around in a short space of time. Now the place has plenty of atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed

The restaurant is very comfortable and cozy, with smooth service that never feels rushed. The food quality is excellent, I would give it a 10/10. Make sure to try the peppersauce, you won't be disappointed. This place has quickly become one of our go-to spots for dining out.

Spent 3 nights here with friends and it was a marvellous stay, great and varied food, staff excellent and a setting like none other. The staff were always on hand and very helpful and had a good sense of humour, Simon and Katrina (landlord and lady) can give advice on where to go and where to visit. Try the Cullen Skink

Having visited Findhorn in the previous two years on holiday , we were looking forward to having dinner a few times as usual. the place is under new management but has not improved in any area , indeed the food was not as good as before which was disappointing. The new set up uses a larger are for dining but the tables appear to be squeezed in to maximise covers rather than customer comfort. There is no table service for drinks or food and the lighting which was spotlights was quite bright and uncomfortable , indeed another customer actually adjusted the light which was shining into his eyes whilst eating. Food disappointing and overpriced for the quality on offer . Visualizza piatti

The Crown Anchor is a completely different place under the new owners and staff, with a warm welcome and great service. I stayed for four nights in September and enjoyed lunch in the bar as well as delightful evening meals in the restaurant area. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, able to fit us in without a reservation on our first night by rearranging tables. The menu offers a good variety of food, with the Cullen Skink soup and fish and chips standing out as excellent choices. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, making it a place you'll want to linger in all night. I have been visiting Findhorn for many years and used to avoid this pub, but not anymore. I would highly recom...

This is also an Inn, don 't let TA tell you it 's just food. They have several nicely renovated rooms above the restaurant. The location can 't be beat and the staff are welcoming and jump when you ask for something. Any member of the staff will address any question there is no go see so and so, that 's not my job here. The whole staff works as a team to serve. The food was outstanding! We had eaten there under the previous management and the quality and presentation are incredible. The food is a combination of traditional and gourmet touches. The rooms are nicely appointed and comfortable. The local town is filled with kind, friendly people (just the like Crown and Anchor) and the quiet coa...

"Genuinely couldn't fault the experience. When I heard that the Drouthy had a new menu focusing more on a veggie and vegan base, I knew I had to give it a whirl. The starter of hot Smoked salmon with lemon creme fraiche and oatcakes was simple yet packed full of flavour. I could have easily have had 10 plates of that and been happy to give it 5 stars. My partner had the smoked duck and even though I have given up meat, I was salivating at the look of their dish. They assure me that it was as delicious as it looked. Served with lavender roasted potatoes (which I'm told were amazing and charred salsify. The mains were more than a match for the brilliant starters. If I could give one piece of advice, it would be get the beetroot risotto. Not being a massive fan of beetroot, I wasn't too sure about it. But the incredibly warm waiter (for my son's, I never got his name. I only hope he can forgive me if he reads this! assured me it was tasty. He was not wrong. Beautifully cooked vegan risotto with balsamic beetroot chunks, shiitake mushrooms and rocket, it was simply divine. WHEN I go back, I'll be hard pressed to go for anything else because it was so delicious. It was creamy, packed full of flavour and cooked absolutely perfectly. Just the right amount of bite, nowhere near being mush like you get in a lot of other places (who charge a lot more, by the way . Superb. The highest of compliments to the chef. I was so taken by my dish I forgot to ask how my partner's was until I had eaten all of mine. But their home made vegan tagliatelle had disappeared from the plate so it must have been amazing. I couldn't handle dessert so had a delicious ruby port (delaforce I think it was called , and I would also like to give credit to whoever came up with their wine list. It covered every single base and no-one could ever be disappointed. Finally, if you're ever in Elgin, please make sure this is one of your destinations. You will leave extremely happy."
