The Peppermill In Forres – A Delicious Lunch

Last week for a Friday treat I decided to pay a visit to another of my favourite Forres spots, The Peppermill.

I was on Forres High Street when I decided to nip in for a spot of light lunch. I was seated straight away by the window, which gave me a great view of all the goings on of the High Street.

There were lots of excellent choices on the lunch menu – from soup to battered Buckie haddock. I opted for the Cajun chicken and mayonnaise baguette with a side of lovely home-made chips.

Speedy Service And Perfectly Cooked

The service was speedy and before I knew it I had a beautifully delicious baguette in front of me. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the baguette was much bigger than I expected. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the sauce was deliciously creamy, and the bread was just the right balance between soft in the middle and crisp on the outside.

Although I love my coffee, Friday was a nice warm day and I fancied something refreshing to drink. I asked for an orange Fanta, however this is something they don’t serve at the Peppermill. The lovely waitress offered to make me up some orange juice with lemonade which I gladly accepted. Her kindness and helpfulness made the whole experience that bit better.

Peppermill Cakes, Scones & Tiffins

In a very out of character move I didn’t have any cake to finish off my lunch, but the restaurant does offer delightful home bakes such as caramel slices, scones and tiffin.

The café and restaurant has a great cosy feel and the amount of people coming in and even ordering food to go showed just how popular it is. I would recommend reserving a table at The Peppermill when you decide to pay it a visit as it does get very busy.

Generous Portions, Great Value

The scrumptious generous portions of food also come at great value for money. It cost me just around £8 for my huge baguette, large portion of hand cut chips, salad and large drink.

The Peppermill can be found on Forres High Street, a short 15 minute drive from Carden Cottages.
