Food was delicious. We ordered appetizer of mushrooms and cheese. Whole button mushrooms in a dish of melted cheese. Also ordered smoked haddock patties and pie of the day. Both were delicious. It was a Thursday so we made no reservations. Orders came quickly. Great place to eat if you are staying at the Holiday Inn. Very interesting artwork on the walls. For some reason they could not light our tabletop tea light?! read more

It's kinda pub food but one that is actually nice. There are two sides in the restaurant one for "fine" dining and other for casual dining where you order at the bar and food is taken to your table once is ready. I didn't find it overpriced and portions were well sized. There were quite a few options for vegetarians which is always a good things for me. I had the stuffed pumpkin with lentil Dahl, served on rice which was supposed to be coriander rice but it was just plain basmati. The greens garnishing on top of my pumpkin were a bit off and I just put it aside. Overall my dish was nice. My husband asked lamb with cheddar cottage pie and veggies. He said it was quite nice too. I'm planning on coming back to try their other dishes as they all sound interesting. read more

My pork chop was cooked but I don't get why it also included a slice of un-ripe pineapple and an over cooked egg? For about 30 pounds we bought 2 pints of Guinness and 2 meals: beef steak n potatoes as well as a pork chop with veggies. The beef steak had a nice gravy taste and fried potatoes are always delicious. It took about 45 minutes to get our food after ordering. Our server seemed disinterested in her job. I won't come here again if I'm in town and should have eaten at Burger King. read more

We were staying at the Holiday inn Express across the car parking lot from this restaurant. This is a convenient restaurant with good parking and a good menu. It you want table service you can sit in the restaurant area. This fills up so book ahead. They have a good number of tables in the bar area so you can eat without reservations. I had a burger and a salad and enjoyed it very much. Be sure and make a reservation if you want to eat in the dining room. read more

We had a lovely lunch at The Snow Goose yesterday. It's owned (or franchised) by vintage inns so they don't make everything fresh and it is classic pub grub so I've scored it on this basis. It had a fair few people in for a Monday lunchtime and the fires were lit so it was cosy. I like the decor-all woody and stone floors. I ordered scampi and chips from the daytime light bites menu and added bread & butter for £1. I got a massive plate so light it was not but it was nice. It was a mix of scampi & prawns and the chips were crispy. Scampi in general is never going to win awards but it's a great comfort food. I didn't really need the bread after all with such a big portion! My other half had a burger with bacon & cheese. Again, it was a large portion and he didn't quite finish it. He said the burger was nice, not outstanding but nice. The Snow Goose has been there for years and I've had lots of good meals there and a few not so good. It's near the retail park so handy for going to the cinema or shopping afterwards. As I said at the start, I've scored it in the category that it's in - for pub grub I rate it 4 stars but I wouldn't go for a special occasion or fancy meal. read more

Snow Goose - Scampi medley and chips - Pubs Near Me - Inverness, HLD

The Snow Goose is in between the Inverness City Center and the only other shopping center area in Inverness. For a pub/restaurant the atmosphere was very inviting and the fact that there was a 30-45 minute wait to eat dinner at 730pm on a Wednesday night means they're pretty popular. Overall the ambiance was appeasing, but the food was ok and I wasn't too pleased with the Cod Fish N'Chips in regards to portion and taste, but the fresh chips were quite nice, hence the 3. As I'm in Inverness quite a bit, this is definitely a spot I'll frequent more for business meetings, hanging out with local family/friends, grabbing a drink to watch some sports, or to just hang in the front lounge area drinking some coffee while reading a book. read more

Snow Goose - Cod Fish N' Chips - Pubs Near Me - Inverness, HLD

I don't think you've got much of a choice than the Snow Goose if you're staying at the nearby Holiday Inn/Travel Inn hotels. Sitting on a very busy main road into the city of Inverness and behind it a retail park and it's biggest competition, a mega Tesco and a Pizza Hut. If you're waiting to check in, have some time after checking out or are just stuck for a drink out that way, there's not really many other options. That being said it's a big old pub, plenty of seating inside and out and there's a reasonable selection behind the bar. We didn't order food as we saw the food come out and it looked like very uninspired pub grub and not the most tempting prices. This is not a negative review as the staff were sparse but friendly and it's a useful venue in the area. A solid pit stop, but not a destination - not when a short bus ride away you're into the city. read more

A great place for Sunday lunch. You don't have to book to visit the Snow Goose but it does get busy at peak times and you might have to wait. The food is pretty good, reasonable cost and the menu changes regularly. The interior has a real country pub feel, the open fires are fantastic on a cold Highland day. Just make sure that they have definetely put your order through to the kitchen - twice I've waited over an hour for my order because it didn't go through. read more

Standard Vintage Inn (parent company) fair. Not fine dining but equally not McDonalds. One of the few eatery chains that does cooked-to-a-standard well. Would happily eat here again or at most of their other locations. read more

A really nice restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere, and also very reasonably priced. The Snow Goose has a kind of warm, brewsters-style atmosphere, and serves some very nice dishes, not exactly posh nosh, but still very tasty. It's out of the city centre, and so the bar is pretty quiet (although it is the nearest bar to the local cinema complex, so it does get some business from there). The food, however, is the main attraction, and it certainly delivers, making it popular with families and couples alike. Certainly well worth a visit, and the friendly staff will make you feel very welcome. read more

Wow! Stopped at this pub after arriving at Inverness airport. We were expecting the usual pub grub type of thing with OK service. We were shown to our seat (by the open fire - big bonus as it was a very cold night) and served at our table very promptly. The food was bar food, but excellent. Cannot recommend enough. read more

A really nice pub and good place to eat. I have eaten here a few times and enjoyed my meals. I have also been here for drinks before and after going to the vue cinema. The food is good and the drinks are well priced too. Would certainly recommend a meal or drink here. read more

S other reviews have stated, its very convenient to the Holiday Inn. The selection and quality of food was very good. The only reason it missed out on that fifth star was that our waitress, Kasia, was terrible. Her attention was lacking, she barely listened, we waited a long time for the bill, and I dont belive she gave me decaf with my desert as requested. read more

A little pricey but a good meal. Very convenient location to the Holiday Inn Express. We did the formal seating one night and casual (order by the bar) the second night; both good experiences, good food. Kitchen closes at 9ish though so it's best to make a reservation or head over early to guarantee food. read more

One of my Favourate restaurants, The meals are really nice for the price, The best feature this place has is the big open log fire that they open up in the winter, Great to get a table near the cosy fire in which is so relaxing. Somtimes theres a long wait for your meal but its well worth the wait, read more

Arrived and no one to greet, line standing inside door and no on acknowledging us. Finally, someone came with no apology to the crowd waiting to be seated. Had to ask for Festive menu that had been promised a seating. You would assume ordering off a Festive menu there would be Christmas Crackers or at least something festive, nope, just like a normal dinner out except that the food was disappointing. The Horse radish mashed potatoes were more Horse radish than potato. Food was quite disappointing. read more

A nice pub/bar/restaurant to have a good pub lunch. The prices are reasonable but the menu normally stays the same throughout the different seasons. The food is ok can sometimes be tasteless apart from the fish cakes. read more
