Do you allow dogs?

We are currently operating a trial policy that will allow dogs in our downstairs restaurant area only. Please note we don’t take bookings for dogs as this is strictly down to the availability we have on the day. We do have a large beer garden where dogs are also allowed and we supply dog bowls and water. A member of staff will also be happy to help however they can.

Please read our dog policy below*

Can you cater for gluten free, vegetarian and vegan diets?

Yes, we are currently working on new and exciting dishes for the season ahead, please ask your server for available options.

We do advise our customers that all our food is prepared in a small kitchen, therefore can never give a 100% guarantee of any of our dishes being completely “free from” any of the recognised 14 allergens. Please always make a member of staff aware of any food allergies and dietary requirements.

Do you sell gift vouchers?

Yes! We can do gift vouchers for any amount. These can purchased in our restaurant.

How far are you from Ben Nevis?

We are located right at the start of the mountain path for Ben Nevis, in the perfect location to reward yourself with a refreshing drink when you have completed the Ben! For directions and more information please click here

Can you provide information about Ben Nevis?

We advise that you seek expert advice before taking on the Ben and you keep up to date with conditions at all times, please click here to see some of our handy links for planning your adventure.

Is there parking at the Ben Nevis Inn?

Yes, parking is free and strictly for Ben Nevis Inn customers. There is also an additional free public car park just outside our grounds, but this can get extremely busy. There is also lots of parking at the Ben Nevis Visitor centre.

Can we book a table in the beer garden?

We are unable to take bookings for our beer garden due to the variable factors of the weather and midge. Our beer garden is open on a first come first serve basis.

Do you serve food out in the beer garden?

We serve food out to our beer garden during our lunch time service (subject to change during busy periods). We don’t serve food outside during our evening dinner service.

Can we order food to takeaway?

Unfortunately we don’t offer takeaway.

Will I be able to still get a table if I haven’t made a reservation?

As we are a very busy restaurant we are unable to guarantee we will have space available due to us having a very small kitchen and being limited on space. We must prioritise our reservations first but we will always do our best to accommodate all customers.

At Ben Nevis Inn, we strive to create an enjoyable and welcoming environment for all our guests. As part of this commitment, we are implementing a trial policy that allows well-behaved dogs in the downstairs area of our establishment.

Trial Basis Notice

This policy is being offered on a trial basis to evaluate its impact on guest comfort, safety, and overall restaurant operations.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue this policy at any time if it is determined that it is not in the best interest of our guests, staff, or business.

Policy Guidelines

• Dogs are only permitted in our downstairs seating area (subject to availability)
• Dogs must always remain leashed and under control
• Dogs showing aggressive, disruptive, or unsafe behaviour will be asked to leave
• Dogs must stay close to their owner’s table and may not block walkways or disturb other guests
