“This place sits smack bang in the middle of whisky country in Craigellachie, a mere totter away from the Spey. The true joy is the all-important mixture of locals and visitors…and the menu makes the very best of all that Scottish produce” – Tom Parker Bowles

The Spey Inn is our restaurant in the heart of The Craigellachie Hotel and is the oldest drovers inn in Scotland, dating back to 1703.

Our Chef, Pawel Sowa, brings an exceptional culinary pedigree, having honed his skills in both casual and Michelin-starred restaurants across the UK, and Paris. Most recently, he served as the head chef at The Macallan, where he showcased his talent and passion for creating exquisite dishes.

His diverse background and innovative approach to cuisine promise to elevate the dining experience at The Craigellachie Hotel to new heights.

We have an extensive grill section and are proud to work with our neighbours, S.A. Mackie’s Butchers. By partnering with local businesses, we have built strong connections with their team, enabling us to offer an exceptional dining experience that highlights the best local produce and gives you a taste of the region’s rich heritage.
