We popped in for lunch after a trip around Barra . The scenery is absolutely beautiful the islands just keep giving. We had a delightful lunch, I had monk fish scampi and Karen had hand dived scallops both were fantastic, the staff and locals were fantastic friendly and chatty and weren’t put off by our barking basil !! In fact they gave him some fish and chips in a doggie bag 😁 thanks for a lovely lunch must come back again xx

Proper monkfish scampi (the best ever) and superb fish and chips. Friendly helpful staff, super views. One of the best places we have ever eaten in. We can’t wait to come again.

Lovely, lively place. We've been here a few times now. I keep going back for the scallops, which are just unreal. It's a busy place, so book ahead.

Incuriositi dalle recensioni di passaparola abbiamo prenotato in questo pub ristorante .La posizione è molto suggestiva Nella giusta stagione si possono godere bellissimi tramonti . Gli arredi richiamano i tipici standard scozzesi così come la musica folk . Il servizio ottimo con due cameriere efficienti e cordiali ,spt una molto pratica e simpatica Il cibo :non abbiamo voluto assaggiare il tipico insaccato .Buona e piccantissima la soup e nella media il fish and chips .Dessert sorbetto rinfrescante Prezzi nella media Curiosità:adiacente al terreno dove sorge il locale,un camposanto ,come tanti se ne vedono qui nelle isole. Come dire vita qua e..aldilà

We were on holiday, and at the end of every day, one phrase which was guaranteed to raise a smile was, shall we go to the politician? Such a warm and welcoming place with delightful staff. You won’t go away hungry, they serve hearty portions of delicious home-made food. I feel quite sad writing this review and thinking back to our happy times last week; I’m yearning to be there.The politician felt very much like our local in such a short space of time and it’s a highlight of our stay on South Uist. Thank you all for making us so welcome.

Excellent food, lovely welcoming pub, we both had the homemade lasagna which was exceptional, probably the best lasagna I have eaten in a long time. We also had excellent homemade desserts, sticky toffee pudding was delicious and my husband had homemade meringue which he said was lovely. Would highly recommend. I would definitely visit again if I lived nearby. If you are in the area please visit it’s lovely. Not only the food but the welcome is warm and friendly. It’s also very reasonable for the quality of the food. 2 courses plus drinks less than £40.

Had an enjoyable family meal here. The amount of pate they gave me for my starter was enormous! Monkfish scampi was very tasty and the best bit of the whole meal for me had to be the cranachan. A little bit of Scottish heaven in a pot! Thoroughly recommend, although you may decide to walk back across the causeway later because you’re so full!!

Called in for a fantastic lunch, appetite friendly and dog friendly! Had the steak pie followed by cranachan and it was all home made, absolutely delicious and arrived quickly. Nice atmosphere and didn't feel at all rushed. Seems popular and the staff were friendly and helpful. Beautiful beach at the back of the pub - conservatory tables had a great view and looks like plenty of outdoor seating in the garden out back too. I sat in the bar as I had a dog and was very comfortable. Would definitely revisit and recommend!

We ate here on all three evenings of our stay in Eriskay. Very good food. Always well presented and delicious. The staff were very attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Very family friendly, dog friendly and wet walkers friendly.

We wanted to go to the Am Politician for dinner because of its association with Whisky Galore. We found the pub lively and thriving, with a good atmosphere. The food was good, as was the service. Whilst there is little choice of places to eat in this part of the world, I would still go back.

We stopped on a whim to look for some art and were pleasantly surprised by the gallery. It was light and airy and we received a friendly welcome after which we were left to browse through a good selection of local artworks. We spent quite a while looking at objects from a wide price range before settling on something to buy, and it was packed for transport with a lot of care to make sure it survived the trip home. We didn't have cakes, but the cafe looked like a nice place to sit and chat. Definitely worth a look.
