[edit] Pubs
Can't beat the grog and gruel for all your wild hog and ale needs (sells a rather potent yet delicious ale made with heather), pretty good music and a favourite with people at the hostel below - http://www.grogandgruel.co.uk/
[edit] To Stay
One of the best hostels shigs has ever stayed in. £14 a night is quite cheap for fort william especially as you're 5 minutes from the station, open all night policy, great lounge to drink and share stories with the other walkers and climbers. I got some great tips on wild camping and abandoned huts and stuff from people there - http://www.bankstreetlodge.co.uk/
Camping, if you want to go to a campsite and have all the amenities, http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=2919 is great. £6 a night for a pitch is a bit pricey but if you want to camp near to a block with hot water, good showers, scullery, toilets, etc, you cant go wrong. Directly under ben nevis!!
[edit] Wild camping spots
Will include places we found to wild camp later..
[edit] Eats
Nevis Bakery on the highstreet is an award winning PIE SHOP!! Seriously i doubted pies could be so so good. Venison, Steak, Haggis, etc pies :D
Etc includes "macaroni". It takes a very special country to think of making macaroni cheese pie.
