Calum's Kitchen
The former Crook Inn, which, sadly, was closed today because it's Monday and it is only open Tuesday to Sunday, so we couldn't stop for tea and cakes in the garden.

Calum's Kitchen
The old Crook Inn, temporarily re-named the Crooked Inn, has changed hands again and is now Calum's Kitchen. We can vouch for the tea and cakes, which we enjoyed out of doors in the garden - in February!

Calum's Kitchen
Outside tables and benches with a canopy have been installed to allow business to continue during the coronavirus pandemic, but perhaps it's now a bit late in the year for comfortable eating out of doors.

The Crooked Inn
The full name of the village of Alves was Crook of Alves, the word 'crook' referring presumably to the corner where the Burghead Road joins the main road. The inn was appropriately called the Crook Inn, being on that corner. However it changed hands in the 1980s and was renamed the Crooked Inn, thereby discarding part of its history.

Crook of Alves
Although named simply as Alves on maps these days, older maps use the full name, Crook of Alves. From here, one is blissfully unaware of the busy A96 that carries heavy traffic along the edge of the village. The conspicuous green domes in the distance are biomass digesters at Wester Alves Farm. The name is pronounced AH-viss, by the way - the 'l' is silent and it has two syllables. Not 'alvz'.
