Welcome

Whether you've something to celebrate, are at the end of a hard day's walking in the hills, or simply fancy a break from cooking at home, it is our wish at Anderson's that you all feel welcome. Forget pretence, the atmosphere here is relaxed and informal, so sit back, switch off, and savour the pleasure of great food and drink. Local Produce

At Anderson's we are committed to using local Scottish produce when it is in season, so needless to say, our menu changes each month, along with our daily specials. Each dish is lovingly prepared and bought together in such a way as to bring out the very best of truly great, fresh ingredients. Although our menu is creative, our aim is simple, to present you with food that we are confident you will enjoy, and that tastes fantastic. Family Friendly

The whole family is welcome at Anderson's, and it is important to us that everyone can tuck into something they will enjoy. So for children we can either offer half portions of anything on the menu, or for specific likes or dislikes, please feel comfortable to say, and the chef will be happy to come up with something to suit- within reason! Similarly please make us aware of any special dietary requirements you may have.

“It’s great to see a restaurant like Andersons opening up in Boat of Garten. Owners Steve and Claire have put a huge amount of thought and effort into their set up, and their intended philosophy of utilizing the best of Scottish produce should be a real boost to the local restaurant scene.

Restaurant Supervisor / FOH Lead

Andersons, Boat of Garten or Grantown-on-Spey

We’re looking for an experienced, confident and hands-on Restaurant Supervisor / FOH Lead to join Andersons.

The role could be based at either our Boat of Garten restaurant or Andersons at The Avenue in Grantown-on-Spey, depending on the right person and where they’re based.

We need someone who can take the lead out front, run service, manage the floor, support the team, deal with customers and help make sure everything front of house runs smoothly.

We’re independent, owner-operated restaurants, so this is a very hands-on role. Everyone gets stuck in and helps wherever needed, owners included.

We’re looking for someone who is calm, reliable, organised, good with people and comfortable taking responsibility during service.

Previous experience in a senior FOH, supervisory or management role would be ideal, although we’d also consider a strong experienced waiter or waitress who is ready to step up.

The role

* £16.50 per hour
* Around 35 to 40 hours per week
* 5 days from 7
* Full-time, permanent, year-round
* Evening and weekend availability essential
* Share of tips
* Personal Licence preferred but not essential
* No staff accommodation available

This is a long-term role and we’re looking for someone who wants to become an important part of the team.

This affects all of us, not just accommodation providers.

If visitors are paying more before they’ve even arrived, that is less money being spent in our restaurants, cafés, shops and other local businesses. Rural hospitality is already under huge pressure, and this feels like yet another cost being piled onto the very people keeping our communities going.

Please take a few minutes to read it and fill in the consultation. This could have a real impact across Badenoch and Strathspey.

We’re still looking for the right person to join us at Andersons at The Avenue in Grantown-on-Spey.

We need an experienced Restaurant Supervisor / FOH Lead who can take the lead out front and become a long term part of the team.

We’re a small independent restaurant, so everyone gets stuck in and helps wherever needed, owners included. We’re looking for someone calm, reliable, organised, good with people and happy to take responsibility.

The role

* £16 per hour
* Around 35 to 40 hours per week
* 5 days from 7

Andersons is growing! ❤️

While we carry on doing what we do here in Boat of Garten, we’re busy creating a second Andersons over in Grantown-on-Spey.

Here’s a little look at what we’re working towards at Andersons at The Avenue.

Well… I suppose the secret really is out now! 😬

After nearly 20 years of Andersons in Boat of Garten, I’ve somehow decided that one restaurant isn’t enough 😂

Andersons at The Avenue in Grantown is happening.

Excited, slightly terrified, and there’s a ridiculous amount of work to do — but I’m really looking forward to seeing what we can make of this place.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported us over the years. Hopefully you’ll come along for the next chapter too ❤️

See you soon, Grantown!

Well, the secret is out…

After nearly 20 years of Andersons in Boat of Garten, we’re opening a second restaurant.

Andersons at The Avenue – Grantown on Spey.

We’ve taken over The Avenue on Seafield Road and over the next few weeks we’ll be busy turning it into our new restaurant.

The idea is pretty simple – good, honest food, using great local and Scottish produce, in a relaxed restaurant where everyone feels welcome.

A little bit about how we’re going to open…

We’re deliberately starting small. To begin with, The Avenue will open in the evenings with a seasonal à la carte menu, very much centred around the local and Scottish produce we’re lucky enough to have around us.

And because I know it’s probably the first thing many of you are wondering about – we won’t be serving pizzas when we first open.

Pizza has become a huge part of Andersons over the years and we absolutely plan to bring our wood-fired pizzas to Grantown, both sit-in and takeaway. But we need to install a proper wood-fired oven first, and I’d rather wait and do it properly than rush something just because people are expecting it.

Hopefully we’ll introduce the pizza menu after Christmas, and from there continue building things up, with the plan to be serving brunch, lunch and dinner alongside a full takeaway pizza service by Easter.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from nearly 20 years of running Andersons, it’s not to try to do too much too quickly. We’ll open each part gradually, find our feet, get it right, and then move on to the next phase.

There’s a fair bit of work to do before we open the doors, and rather than hide it all until it’s finished, we thought we’d bring you along for the ride.

And while I’m here – I’m looking for a chef.

I’m looking for someone experienced to become my right-hand person at The Avenue. Someone reliable, who can cook to a high standard, loves working with local and seasonal produce and wants to be part of building something from the beginning. If that sounds like you – or you know someone who might fit – please get in touch.

We’ll share plenty more about the food, the restaurant and our opening plans as things start coming together.

See you soon, Grantown!
