🍂 THE MOSSET PUB QUIZ HEADLINES! 🍂

114 quizzers. One winning team. And a third victory for The Indecisives! 🏆

Tuesday night at the Mosset saw 114 brains put to the test across geography, connections, general knowledge, musical pictures and an autumnal-themed music round. 🍁🎶

🎤 MYSTERY VOICE OF THE NIGHT

Pierce Brosnan was the man behind the mystery voice, talking all things James Bond. Most teams got their man, although a few were convinced it was Peter Capaldi! A decent guess, but not quite shaken, stirred or correct. 🍸

🌍 VISITORS FROM PERTH!

Lovely to welcome a visiting team of four from Perth, who have joined us before while holidaying in the area. Naturally, we couldn't resist squeezing a North Inch question into the geography round. Thankfully, they got it right! We do try to make our guests feel at home, after all. 😂

🏆 THREE TIMES THE CHARM!

Huge congratulations to The Indecisives, who took tonight's honours for their third Mosset Pub Quiz victory. They may be indecisive about most things, but clearly not about winning!

A massive thanks to all 114 of you for another brilliant Tuesday night. To our regulars, visiting teams and everyone who makes Tuesday nights at the Mosset what they are — we appreciate you all.

Same time next week? You know where we'll be! 😉

You Make The Mosset 🙌

🍻 WE’RE HIRING — FULL-TIME BARTENDER
THE MOSSET TAVERN

We’re looking for a welcoming, switched-on host to join the Mosset bar team.

Being a bartender at the Mosset is about a lot more than pouring pints. The Mosset is so much more than booze!

You’ll be chatting away with our regulars while keeping one eye on who needs served, watching the door to make sure every guest gets a warm welcome, and making the right calls to ensure everyone has a great time.

Oh… and you’ll be doing all that while making cocktails, finding the keys for the pool table, getting the TV onto the right channel for the rugby and probably answering three questions at once! 😂

The job includes:
🍺 Serving guests at the bar
🍽️ Taking food orders & serving bar meals
☕ Coffee service
🍸 Making cocktails
📺 Keeping an eye on the entertainment
🛢️ Changing kegs
🧽 Keeping the bar and pub spotless
❤️ Looking after our regulars and welcoming new guests

It’s a job that requires energy, personality and plenty of multitasking — but if you enjoy being busy and genuinely like looking after people, you’ll love it.

THE DETAILS

📍 Mosset Tavern, Forres
⏰ Full-time
📅 Varied shifts, usually 7–9 hours
Typical shifts can include:
• 1pm–9pm
- 12pm until 6pm
• 2pm–10pm
• 5pm–1.30am

💷 Wages above minimum wage
🌙 New late-night additional payment to reward those unsociable hours
📄 Contracted hours — no zero-hours contract
📈 Training & genuine career progression
🍽️ Generous staff discount

If you’re friendly, confident, quick on your feet and can keep smiling when five things are happening at once — we’d like to hear from you.

Come and join the team at the Mosset. 🍻

Apply now with a covering letter and CV to Gordon or Morven, [email protected]

The Mosset tavern family were so saddened to learn of the heartbreaking news that our friend and former colleague Beth, passed away this week.

Beth joined the Mosset Tavern very shortly after we arrived, initially as a chef before progressing through the ranks to become our first manager. It was in that role that everyone could witness her caring and selfless nature where she would always put the needs of her team mates before hers.

Exceptionally hard working, caring, sweet and very funny. She shaped the culture of the foh team all those years ago. Even though she escaped hospitality, she's still very much part of the Mosset history.

Our profound condolences to Beth's family, to Scott and her loyal friends.
Rest in peace Beth,
Gordon, Melissa and all at Mosset Tavern ❤️

ANGUS (Dunphail)
Sadly but peacefully, after a battle fought so courageously, at Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, on Wednesday, 23rd September 2026, Beth Angus (née Nicolson), of Viewfield, Dunphail, aged 39 years. Beloved wife of Scott, and a proud and adored daughter of Donelle and Grant, a much-loved sister of Kate, Jane and Ruth, a dear niece and aunt, and a sadly missed relative and friend to many. Funeral arrangements to follow.

Announced with the family's permission.
