The Highland Soap Visitor Centre & Larder Cafe has been a fantastic success since we opened it in December 2020. We have a large shop, which has recently doubled in size with room to double again. Our cafe has 110 covers and an outdoor events space - and all set in 6 acres of grounds with views over Ben Nevis in what is undoubtably the area’s best located tourist destination.

We are a friendly, locally-owned business with a good local reputation and a strong tourist trade. We make good quality food out of local ingredients and are increasingly becoming known nationally as a wonderful day out for a family. Opening hours are mostly 9am-5pm, 7 days though we have an ambition to do evenings in the summer. Operationally, the site is running smoothly with a strong team.

This is an exciting opportunity to run the cafe and manage a friendly hardworking team.
