Friar Tucks

Friar Tucks is a popular chipper/chippie in Nairn serving a host of traditional fish and chip shop favourites.

I’d recommend taking a look at the pie line-up, of course, but munchie boxes are available too.

They are particularly popular and feature everything from chicken fillets, pizzas and battered burgers to chips and a range of sauces.

MNMs Café

Megan Mclean founded Makes by Megs in June 2020 after spending the first few months of the pandemic selling her bakes on social media.

And in November 2021 – with the help of family friend Nicola Mackinlay – she opened her own café in Nairn.

You can bag both sweet and savoury pies at the café. If it’s savoury you’re after, message the MNMs Cafe Facebook page to make sure there are some in stock.
