The Pine Marten Bar & Scran is a wood-panelled, alpine-style bar and restaurant beside Glenmore Campsite, near Loch Morlich. It makes sense as a sit-down meal or drink after a walk, cycle or ski day around Glenmore. If you want somewhere warm and informal to finish an outdoor day, this is an easy choice.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, with freshly prepared dishes, local produce used where possible, and vegetarian and vegan choices. Nachos, chicken wings, homemade cake and coffee are among the named offerings. Expect a relaxed bar meal rather than formal dining. Portions tend to be generous, but food quality and value can be uneven.

The practical bitThere is a car park, Wi-Fi and outdoor seating, and dogs are welcome.

There is a car park, Wi-Fi and outdoor seating, and dogs are welcome. Level access is listed, though anyone relying on a particular step-free route should check details first. The bar sits beside the campsite, not its reception. The toilet and shower facilities described under the building are for glamping-pod guests, so do not count on them as public bar facilities.
