"Harry Potter" Train Interlude -- Just What We Were Looking For
We took the early "Harry Potter" Jacobite train to Mallaig with our adult kids and their significant others. Having been to Mallaig previously, we knew there wasn't a lot to do during the turn-around time, and were looking for lunch reservations at a restaurant with a good view that could get us in and out easily in time for the return trip.
The serving staff was clearly accustomed to the Harry Potter train crowd, suggested presenting our appetizers and mains together, and easily had us out in time to look around a bit before the train was due to leave. Despite our reservation being at 13:00, we showed up at 12:40 and they seated us. It was not overly crowded. The food was quite good, and the view just what we were looking for. read more
