Overall Rating
Excellent
The Larder Café is a great place for lunch. It's part of the larger Highland Soap Company complex which comprises a retail area and a small visitor centre. The dog-friendly café serves breakfast, brunch and lunch. All their food is excellent. The menu updates seasonally and they source organic and sustainable ingredients locally. It does mean you pay a bit of a premium but it's worth it for a treat. There is a massive feature window with views across to Ben Nevis and an outdoor area. The adjoining shop sells the whole range of Highland Soap Company products... they even have a refill station if you bring your empties back... and other Scottish gifts.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
The complex is fully accessible with loads of space to manoeuvre but can be tricky when it's very busy. There is a slight, easily managed ramp up to the entrance which has automatic doors.
Accessible facilities: Single-level venue, Step-free entrance
Parking & Transport
Excellent
I travelled to this place by personal vehicle
There is a large, recently tarmacked, car park with several accessible spaces next to the entrance.
Accessible facilities: Dedicated on-site parking
Accessible Toilets
Good
The accessible toilet is a great size and has the standard grab rail set-up. The one issue was the call-bell. If you look at the photo, you'll see that the red cord is far too high for a wheelchair user or someone who has fallen to reach and that's not been tied up... that's its actual length!
Facilities: Accessible toilet
Staff
Excellent
All the staff are friendly and quick to offer assistance such as moving chairs or clearing a more accessible table. Be aware that it's counter service but they bring your food and drinks out for you.
