Ashers Bakery Ltd in Highland

We love our local deli and are so lucky that it's in our street! Delicious sandwiches, salads, soup and cakes. We always recommend to our guests when they are looking for a packed lunch or picnic. Really friendly folk with Roddy at the helm.

Greeted by a beautiful dog out front, we were very glad to have stopped for breakfast rolls at Jaggy Thistle Food Stop. Rolls were stunning, could taste how fresh everything was. Well well worth a stop!!

Maravilloso y relajante café en la planta baja de The Highland Hospice (junto a Eden Court a lo largo del paseo Ness). Parada para un té y dulce, que era muy bueno! Personal muy amable. Precios muy razonables. Las propinas van a El Hospicio. Sin duda vale la pena una parada en su paseo por el río. Recomiendo.

Very impressed. Jenny and partner who run it are very sociable. Both very knowledgeable about everything on the island and were keen to talk me through what there was to see and do on Rum and all aspects of living there. The shop also operates as a community hub and is a great place to meet and hang out with whichever islanders happen to be there. Everyone without exception was very friendly and welcoming. You can get a tea or coffee there. Jenny didn't have any soup on but kindly said I could buy a tin and she'd heat it in the microwave. The shop itself is really well stocked. Wish I'd known just how well stocked and I would have saved myself the weight and capacity of bringing things from the mainland. Things I bought included a box of grapes, crisps, a tin of sweetcorn, soup and roll, a coffee, a laminated OS map of Rum, a pie, ground coffee, an Our Wullie gift box and tablet. Things that were available included eggs, cheese, milk, fresh fruit and veg, bread, all manner of tinned goodies, pasta, rice, soft drinks, alcohol. The shop also operates as a post office some of the time. Perhaps best to get in touch if you're not sure whether they will stock something. Definitely the place to head to when you land and to meet some really kind and interesting people as well as stock up.
