Bar Meals

The lounge bar is used as our main lunch room serving the same quality food as we do at night. Home made soup, toasted sandwiches, fish and chips, baked potatoes, pasta bake etc all feature on the lunchtime menu.

At night the lounge bar and the dining room are served by the same menu which is quite extensive.  We use local venison and also do some speciality meats, such as Zebra, Wildebeest etc.  We do get beautiful Scallops locally, also Langoustines when available (they are weather dependent on the boats getting out). A small but good quality wine list is available.

At breakfast time our sausages are made by the local butcher, Black pudding comes from Stornoway, good quality haggis and Linda’s home made Jam and Marmalade on Granary toast.
