Proposal code: CONSUL-2022-03-2

There should be a coffee shop on top of Ben Nevis to give walkers somewhere to eat after a long climb

Estimated Price

Not yet known

As highlighted in a recent viral Tripadvisor review, for some visitors the summit of Ben Nevis can be frankly a little disappointing.

A cafe should be set up to allow walkers to buy somethinmg to eat as well as have somewhere to go to the toilet.

It may be that someone like MacDonalds would be interested in taking the franchise thereby bringing in much needed revenue.
