The Clachaig Inn, Clachaig

For the first time in my life I have returned a bar meal. After waiting 30 minutes, our food was a great disappointment from visits to the Clachaig Inn in past years. While my wife's steak and ale pie and my daughter's vegetarian haggis were average (apart from the price), my Cajun Salmon (one of the dearer items on the menu) was dry, shrivelled and when turned over was black with carbonised something underneath. I had to return it and get my money back. Big change from past when we remember good cooked food. On the other hand beer was tasty (I had the Roosters) but I got a real sense the Clachaig Inn is now complacent and needs a visit from Gordon Ramsay to shape the kitchen up.
