Washed down with a very nice ice cold bottle of Effs, or two.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">In short I would recommend here for lunch.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5308425518856126950-3150897274018431437?l=riverhouseinverness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>alfie little river house restauranthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06474444081232697443noreply@blogger.com1
