PROPERTY
The Village of Duffus is located near the Moray Coast approximately six miles from the town of Elgin with the Air Force Bases at Lossiemouth and Kinloss in close proximity. Gordonstoun School, where several members of the Royal Family have been educated, is virtually across the road from the Inn and Parents, Pupils and Teachers certainly contribute to trade at the Inn. The village has a population of around 600 people, many of whom are regulars, but it is the reputation for food which draws trade from all over this area of Scotland. Taking over around four years ago, the present owners have steadily built a reputation for quality of service and have been successful in increasing the turnover on a year to year basis. They have spent liberally upgrading equipment and general furnishing and are of the opinion that there is still considerable scope for expansion. This one hundred and fifty year old property is in good condition throughout and no expense, other than through personal taste, need be anticipated by new owners. We understand that the staff are conscientious and capable and anyone looking for a well run business should certainly view this property.
LOUNGE BAR
The Lounge Bar is open-plan to the Restaurant, which is located on a slightly higher level, with the same decoration and colour scheme used in both. Seating arrangements between comfortable benches and stools can accommodate over twenty people around the five tables. The bar has been constructed in mahogany and there is a pine gantry. On the Bar there are five fonts with the usual Sink Unit underneath. The Gantry carries fourteen Optics and there is a Till. Among the other equipment is a Sound System, a Sink Unit, a Wine Fridge, a Bottle Display Unit, an Espresso Machine, a Glass Washer and an Ice Maker.
RESTAURANT
This is on the upper level with part being a conservatory with doors opening to the Beer Patio. The room can accommodate forty-five people around the twelve tables. One of the attractive features in the room is the Cast Iron Fireplace with “living flame” gas fire. The menu is well thought out and has an excellent selection of meat, poultry and seafood, with the accent being on local produce. At weekends booking is essential and the fact that no one is hurried from their table adds to the ambience of the room.
KITCHEN
The Kitchen again is on a slightly higher level and among the equipment here is a Solid Top Cooker, a Grill, an extractor hood, two Microwaves, a Double Deep Fryer, a three door Fridge, four Fridges, a Freezer, an Ice Cream Freezer, a Hot Cupboard, three Sinks, a Dishwasher and a Potato Peeler. Dry Foods are also stored here.
