The Spey Larder — Restaurant in Scotland

Always a treat to visit the Spey Larder in Aberlour, even though I am a local! Any guests that come up always love visiting here too (and getting a beautiful souvenir hessian tote bag!).

We enjoy getting some delicious treats from the deli like cheese, meats and olives, and the cakes are delicious! Sometimes I treat myself to a lovely quality set of napkins or tea towels. It isn't cheap, but excellent quality! They have a wonderful range of gift cards, home and kitchen paraphernalia, but the highlight is always the incredible selection of unusual and delicious condiments, pastas, wine, beer, whisky (of course!!) and so many other things. I always try to get my top up shop from here as they have lovely local fresh veg and all the necessary breads, butteries, cold meats/fish, and sauces etc.

The service is always so friendly and efficient and the owners personality shines through every aspect of the shop. It is a Jem of a shop and we feel very lucky to have it on our doorstep!

This man should stick to working behind the scenes in his stock room and leave customer service to the very capable assistants he employs, they are so much better at it :) One last observation, the (fresh) deli items looked anything but fresh, stale and sad looking at best. Avoid this very expensive shop with an...

Amazing shop! I was looking for heather honey when in Scotland for almost two weeks and even though the produce was low this year cause of the weather I managed to get the last two jars from the Spey Larder! We also tried their sandwiches which were tasty with fresh ingredients from their deli and very cheap! You can find everything from cheeses, to meats and spreads, fresh pastries and cakes, jams and chutneys, any kind of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, different snacks as well as various kinds of gifts. I could spend a whole day in there! You should definitely check it out when...
