Crofter's Bar in Highland

Tonight we both had soup, 1x cullen skink and 1x soup of the day. Both were absolutely delicious, but they could have been hotter. The macaroni cheese was OK, but severely lacking in cheese and a bit bland. The chips were OK, just OK. The staff were helpful and lovely, but when they ask how was it and you say 'just ok' , they smile politely but font really want to know. Overall, maybe 7/10

Highly recommend. Great atmosphere & fantastic staff. Bar was busy but they were attentive & extremely pleasant. Food was very tasty & well cooked. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal there. Would definitely go back

Loved Crofters bar,staff are brilliant,so helpful and friendly Lovely food Good choice of drinks at the bar Great atmosphere Dog friendly

Hamburger, salmone, birre! Biliardo, freccette e alcune sere musica dal vivo completano l’atmosfera estiva di questo piccolo paesino. È il locale più frequentato nella cittadina. Se siete in zona è un’ottima opzione.

Went for early supper this evening. Unfortunately our food was not great. Fish was ok. But chips and peas looked like they’d been left over from lunch service and reheated. Not great at all

A little gem of a place hidden inside the Arisaig hotel. Staff are really friendly and the food is excellent. Rounded off our visit to the area by going back on a second occasion.

One of the most wonderful places we visited in the Highlands. Terrific atmosphere. Wonderful staff. Love traditional music twice a week. Great food. Miss it already.

Enjoyed a really lovely meal here during a stay in Arisaig. A really good menu selection including plenty of local fish dishes, burgers, pies and a large gluten free menu. Nice atmosphere, great location, friendly staff. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely friendly pub with fantastic beer and food. Had probably the best Fish and Chips ever, so good went back a second time.

Fantastic wee pub and restaurant. Food wise I was blown away. The cullin skink was delicious, but the Sea Bass (with charred corn salad and crab sauce) was really something else. A good and interesting selection for vegetarian and vegans as well (my vegetarian partner was also very impressed with her meal). Pub wise, there is a great selection of beers / ales, and spirits. Also, live music sessions....cracking place. Highly recommended!

Booking advisable. Walked in to Scottish group playing music which was fantastic. Food was very plentiful and excellent. Staff were polite and friendly and helpful. Prices are very reasonable. Seating comfortable. Parking great. Would highly recommend this place.

Scotland has some way to go to be a foodies delight but this place was the exception. We had a great lunch at a reasonable price and good service.

We as a 3 generation family of 12 ate here after a morning of Jaywalking. The staff were very accommodating & service was excellent & lovely food all round, especially the desserts. Will definitely return on our next visit to the area

We ate here twice during our stay and both times the place was full, so I would advise booking ahead.

Sunday afternoons are great in the bar with live traditional music, nice food and good gin, beer and whisky.

I spent two evenings and an afternoon in this bar/restaurant a sunny afternoon in the large outdoor seating area and was entertained by some good live music on the Friday night after our lovely dinner , the pint or half pint of prawns were an excellent buy I went for a half pint and glad I did as it took me so long to get through them the waiter was obviously waiting on me finishing so I could get my main course warm ! I would recommend you order these as a stand alone and wait untill your finished them before ordering your main but they were delicious as was everything else I ate there over the weekend , two ales on tap and a decent whisky selection perfect for me

What an amazing wee Bar. A lovely quiet bar during the week with good food served if your eating. A couple of great ales on tap and a massive selection of the finest Scottish whiskeys as well as everything else you’d expect. The weekend it livens up in the evenings with some truly superb musicians. On a Sunday afternoon there’s a session for local musicians to jam along. A Scottish experience you’ll never forget!

Loved the wee hotel bar. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Bar was well stocked and drinks were very reasonably priced. Enjoyed a few hours in here after our dinner. Was a shame the Scottish music was cancelled as we were looking forward to it. Great wee pub. Loved it!!

Booked meal here with friends , most appalling and shocking service ever , waited so long for overpriced food , cleared our own table after our first course as no room on the table when our second course was dumped !!!!on the table , and the attitude of the large woman who claimed!!!!she had management skills had to be undoubtedly the worst ever form of service ever encountered anywhere in the world .......absolutely shocking woman and shocking all round experience......DONT GO !!!!!

July has been the first time I have actually been to the hotel..stayed in the Bunkhouse. They do dinners about 5pm its usually busy, particularly outside with a large decked area

had a meal here before and decided to have a another on our last night(15/6/2018) at lovely arisaig and surronding area. my wife had scallop starter which was succulent and well portioned, i had mussels which came in a big bowl and was more like a main than a starter.my wife ordered steak which was cooked to perfection and i had the megaburger which it was .lovely food served by attentive staff who i could not fault. my advice if you are wanting to have a meal here would be to book a table even if you are residing in the hotel. looking forward to returning

My husband and I were away all day on the MV Sheerwater and went to the Crofters Rest for a meal . Hubby had a hot lamb curry served with Naan bread and I had macaroni cheese and chips . Lovely meal and good value for money we will be back

An das Arisaig Hotel angeschlossen findet man diesen kleinen Pub. Besucht sowohl von Einheimischen als auch von Touristen fanden wir dort eine bunte Mischung von Leuten aller Altersklassen.

My husband and I visited Crofter's Bar for Sunday Lunch on a day out in the west coast. I was delighted to see Local scallops on the menu and ordered the MAIN COURSE of scallops, chunks of bacon and salad costing £23.95. I was extremely disappointed when the food arrived as my meal consisted only of 3 full scallops and one without roe, a few SLIVERS of bacon a small handful of mixed leaves with 2 tiny pieces of tomato and one of cucumber. On the plus side the scallops were delicious and, fortunately, my husband's fish stew at £20.95 was more substantial and he kindly shared with me! When the waiter came to clear the plates ( no one had asked if the meal was ok as we were eating) we mentioned the inadequate nature of my meal as a main course and queried whether it may have been a starter portion. The waiter said he would mention our complaint to the chef but the chef did not make any response, The price of the food seems particularly extortionate since the meals are advertised as 'Good Value'. I left feeling cheated.

We were staying in Arisaig for a few days. We had been told that on a Friday night there was live music in the Crofters Rest bar. Great we will go and have a few drinks and listen.

La comida la sirven rápido y el servicio muy agradable. Además tuvimos la suerte de encontrarnos con un camarero escocés que estuvo viviendo en Valladolid. Así que para aquellos que no sepan nada de inglés puede ser una opción que facilitará bastante la comunicación. Tienen billar.

very good food, staff very friendly and a brilliant atmosphere. There is a live music on at weekends with a good mix of locals and visitors. oh and a very well stocked bar

We visited Arisaig as part of a trip around the highlands and decided to eat at the Crofter's bar for dinner and did not regret it at all. The food was tasty and the service friendly and efficient with prices being very reasonable. Good atmosphere and some very nice background music being played as well. All in all a lovely way to spend the evening.

Stayed in Arisaig and went to the Crofters bar, attached to the Arisaig Hotel for something to eat and drink.

Lunch on Sunday; one prawn sandwich and two bacon pieces.

We went in here to warm up after being out on a boat trip in the rain. Service was a bit slow but it was fairly busy (or at least it got busy after we arrived). The food was fantastic - we usually go to the Chlachain in Mallaig for Cullen Skink because it's amazing, but I can safely say that on this occasion this one was better by a long way! He had a massive burger which he said was delicious, and my sesame salmon was exceptional.

This is a good food bar with an added small lounge if you wish more peace and quiet, staff and meals are excellent, we were staying at the Arisaig hotel so we ate here for four nights and was very satisfied with food and service,.sometimes there is music in the main bar and some of the locals come too,.!

Really enjoyed our lunch! Everything was really fresh and tasty.The Cullen Skink was lovely, Mussels were very tasty and the Fish and Chips were super fresh.A real find in such a beautiful setting.

Good food we had to wait for a bit, but this was worth it compared to many places where it suspiciously appeared within seconds. Fresh salmon, Cajun battered cod, quite good, and mouthwatering dessert we did not have room for, but clearly prepared by Patricia, as written in the menu.

Het eten is gewoon prima. Lekker de te verwachten lokale gerechten. Waar dit restaurant op scoort is dat het een lokale bedoeling is wat extra sfeer geeft. Ook hebben zijn in het weekeinde live muziek, wat erg gezellig was.

A west Scotland typical day, heavy showers with a few sunny intervals, and we happened upon this lively pub. Scottish traditional music through a better-than-average sound system, a bar person who insisted on relaxing customers, great local mussels and cullen skink, and our teenager loved his chicken wings. Tremendous atmosphere and great place for whiling away a few hours. Shame we missed the live music on Friday and Saturday. One to return to. Unpretentious.

Auf unserer Reise haben wir hier kurzen Zwischenstopp eingelegt. Bei gutem Wetter saßen wir auf der Terrasse und drinnen spielte eine Band. Trotz lebhaftem Treiben haben wir unsere Sandwiches schnell bekommen. Müssten wir nicht gleich weiter hätte ich gern noch ein Stündchen in der Sonne gesessen.

We had just completed a 4 hour hike and enjoyed a late Sunday lunch of lovely steak and ale pie in convivial surroundings [dog friendly too!]. We did not feel out of place in our hiking gear and the local musicians were a real treat to listen to. We will happily revisit next time we are in the area. It's nice when holidaying at home to experience something of the real local hospitality that we hope foreign visitors will be met with elsewhere in the country but that is so often missing in Scotland overall. Well done!

Went last night.Cosy bar, staff were pleasant.Cullen skink was awesome. Mains the monkfish wrapped in ham with a risotto and kale was fantastic, the seafood broth / medley dish also very good and fish and chips also great.The cheesecake was not typical but excellent and the strawberry desert was light, creamy and sweet. Two drinks each bill was 100 pounds. Can't grumble with value. Quality was great.

We had a 2 course lunch here the other day, the last full day of our holiday in the area, and the meal here was a mixture of really good and not so good.I had the cullen skink to start which was really lovely, then the Mallaig fish and chips which was definitely average. The chips were overcooked and tasteless.Hubby had the best meal - the squid to start he said was really nice, then the massive burger, loaded up with black pudding, bacon, etc, which he said was very greedy of him to choose, but it was worth it.Poor Bairn didn't enjoy her chicken liver pate and when I had a taste of it, it was not pleasant at all. Tasted very artificial with an unpleasant aftertaste. Her chicken wings were better tho.All in all, I think the restaurant suffered from being compared to all the fantastic meals we'd had in the area earlier in the holiday, and I feel bad for writing an 'average' review but when you're in that part of the world and you cant do a decent fish and chips then there's something not quite right.

Dropped in here on our way back to Fort William from Mallaig and so wished we hadn't bothered. I ordered a BLT sandwich with a lager shandy, my husband asked for the steak onion and goat cheese sandwich to be told no steak sandwiches todsy so he asked for BLT as well with a coffee. Simple order to most places. The pub wasn't busy, only 3other tables occupied, but our order took nearly 30 minutes to arrive minus drinks which then took another 15 minutes. The bacon on the sandwiches was 1slice, stone cold and very fatty. There was 2 small slices of tomato and half a plate of greenery but nowhere was there any lettuce. This cost us £16.20 and to be honest it wasn't worth £6.20!! The music was a very loud Indian type music which I couldn't wait to escape! All in all I would avoid this place as food and service is of a very low standard

Room small but very comfortable with excellent views. Staff very helpful and friendly. Had problem with tuning TV. Got it to work on occasions. Food in hotel very good, both in the restaurant adjacent to the bar in the evening and at breakfast in the Baywater Restaurant

We took shelter here on a wet day and found it very welcoming and cosy, with a great log burner roaring away. We had some hot drinks and they were happy to open a tab for us. We stayed for food and found it better than most pub grub! I ordered a whitebait starter and assumed maybe they had brought out a mains portion as it was such a good size, but no, that was the starter, fantastic! We stayed on for some more drinks (there's a great selection) and enjoyed the live music too. The staff were all friendly and the place is very dog friendly too.

Booked ahead and were given our table as soon as we arrived. Our waitress, Brody, was lovely but her boss was letting the side down. While Brody got drinks, took our orders and brought the starters, her boss stood behind the bar moaning at staff about something then brought our mains out. One had the wrong side. She muttered something about "that's what you ordered" which we checked with Brody and confirmed wasn't, but she never came back. Fish dishes were lovely but steaks werent brilliant and one was sent back. Atmosphere is great but the music got a bit "shouty" or maybe I just hadn't had enough booze! Staff were excellent but boss needs to drop the nippy attitude when it gets busy...

Having sampled dinner, lunch, and an impromptu traditional music session here, I highly recommend it for all of the above.

My husband and I visited the Crofters bar whilst on holiday in Arisaig. We visited last year as well, the food was good, the service wasn't great, but not as bad as this time. We bought a drink at the bar, was told to get a table, someone would come and get our order. So we waited. Waiting staff came up the stairs, never looked at us. Two lots of people came in, after us and they got served. Still we waited. I went to the bar to complain, and was just about to leave, when a member of staff came over, and all she said was sorry, sorry sorry. We left, very dissapointed. We go up to Arisaig every year, it is so beautiful. We will never be back in the Crofters Rest. Scotland needs tourism, and the Crofters Bar staff need to get their act together.

The cullen skink is to die for! Service is friendly and swift. Nice young bloke. View is nice. And we were lucky with the weather, enough so to be able to sit outside. Fish tacos and steak and ale pie were yummy too!

Lovely sitting on the deck if the suns out - have entertainment Sunday nights. Food good. Nice spot.

The outdoor tables are marvellous to sit at in fine weather with a doggy companion. Choice of food is excellent and there is good advice on gluten free options. A very enjoyable experience.

Mallaig was far too busy for us so we were heading back to Glencoe and took the road to Arisaig - how lucky to come across the Crofters Rest pub. Beautiful food and the best Guinness I have had outside Dublin. Fast and friendly service and on such a fantastic sunny day (May 19,2017) where else would you dine but outside on the deck area.

Lovely food, staff very friendly and dogs welcome. Very quick service even though they were quite busy.

There were no reservations but I was assured that the above statement was the case. The weather was gorgeous and we grabbed a table outside with mant other customers.My evening started inauspiciously with my pet hate of a lady wandering to the bar and being served immediately despite the fact that I had been waiting some time. With Cromarty and Wooha beer on tap my mood improved however. A glance at the plate in front of a nearby customer convinced us that having two starters each was a plan. Whitebait, smoked mackeral, mussels and a large glass of prawns with home made bread was a fishy treat. I would imagine that in the course of the evening the bar would have produced covers well in excess of three figures. Well done!

Lovely lunch sitting outside in the sunshine. Had scampi which was nice, well cooked and reasonable portions, wanted the cheesecake for dessert but unfortunately did not have any so it was a sundae to share.The waitress was cheerful and friendly which is always nice, hate miserable staff.All in all a pleasant stop.

We sat outside on the porch watching the sunset and then moved indoors. It seemed like a local hangout and we had friendly service and great food. The desserts looked great but we opted for another dram. Had I stayed longer in the area, I would have revisited it again and again.

Had excellent local mussels, good sea bass main dish. Service a bit rushed, but friendly staff. You need to book ahead at busy times.

We ate here numerous times during our 2 week holiday in Arisaig, sampling a wide variety of starters, main course dishes and deserts, the pan fried venison was a particular favourite along with the cheese board. Everything we had was delicious and nicely presented. The staff were all friendly and helpful even when busy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Crofter's bar and look forward to eating there again next year.

This is a Bar restaurant in the Arisaig Hotel. A good selection of local food produce eg Isle of Mull scallops with bacon and a very generous helping! I had the pulled pork which was fine but let down by quality of chips. The service was prompt, sensitive and with a smile. Amosphere was good and they have gaelic music on Fridays which appears to be the best day to go. We went on a Sunday.

Stopped for a light lunch. The whitebait was delicious but the grilled squid rather disappointing.Great location with outside sitting area. Would definitely recommend and return but would not choose the squid!Staff great.

Had lunch on Sunday and it was amazing: between us we had an awesome chowder, a fresh and delicious salad with mackerel and scallops cooked to perfection. As far as mains were concerned we all chose mussels and they were equally tasty, in a proper sauce mariniere with lovely bread (didn't even have to ask for it). It is a bar so not posh setting but the food is certainly high quality. There is a pool table and the cherry on the cake was live music.Nearly forgot: very friendly service. Loved it!

Craft beer, nice atmosphere and dog friendly. Dinner starts at 5:30. We had muscles followed with Scallops and bacon the Mrs went for haddock and chips served with garden peas. Everything was very nice. In fact as I type my mouth is watering with the thought of the scallops!If you are in the neighbourhood do yourself a favour pop in for dinner.

I say light lunch but that never happened. We arrived approximately 1:00 had a couple of drinks. The place was busy and there was one, pretty stressed, waitress. She asked if we'd like food we said yes but could we have a bit longer to decide what? She said she'd come back in a couple of minutes. She didn't. When we asked to have our order taken she disappeared and came back to say the kitchen was now closed. You can imagine our disbelief. My impression is the crofter's bar is extremely understaffed. This was Easter weekend loads of incomers but not the staff to cope. It has put us off going back. But more importantly our friends who are in Arisaig very frequently won't be going back or recommending it to other visitors.

Great whisky, great craicShaun the bar is exceptional!Kitchen was closed but he still managed to get me fed!

Popped in here for 'a wee dram' and was bowled over by the choice!Lively, vibrant place with a feel good atmosphere, loved the choice of music ( my era - 60's + 70's) and live bands playing most weekends.Very Dog friendly.Very obliging, will ' magic' a table from nowhere for you, food was great and table service was fast. We loved this place.

Reasonable pub fayre with interesting beers on tap. Welcoming front area, bright and warmed by wood burner. Back area with pool table less appealing to some. Pleasant decking area if you can avoid the smokers. Good music at weekends. Good mix of locals and visitors.

We stayed 2 nights in Arisaig and ended up eating here both nights. We loved it. Casual, bustling little bar mixed with locals and tourists. We ate in the bar both nights. The menu is fab - lots of seafood dishes, fresh and the option of having mains as starters and visa versa. The service is quick and the staff are attentive and welcoming. The first night I had the hot smoked salmon salad and sweet potato fries. Really tasty and loved the salad, kale beetroot and a balsamic dressing. The second night I had the scallops - it was a main dish and the scallops were large and juicy. Can't fault it! It was a huge plateful too so worth every penny. We also had the smoked chicken wings... amazing. We sat here for several hours enjoying local beers and cider. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back to visit and eat more from the menu! If you have allergies to dogs then I would avoid- the first night we were in there were about 6 dogs in! Enjoy!

Spent a really enjoyable afternoon and evening here. Very friendly, good service, warm ambience and good beer. Quite a find in a wee, West Coast village. Our only complaint, and it seems almost churlish to mention it, was that our beautifully cooked fish and chips did seem to be pollock rather than haddock as advertised. It would not stop us returning.

Comida fantástica num lugar pitoresco. Atendimento super agradável. Descobrimos por acaso mas ficámos encantados!

We visited the Crofters Rest a couple of times and we were really impressed on both occasions. The staff and locals are very friendly and the place has a warm and welcoming feeling.The quality of the food was excellent and the local ales were also extremely good. If you're in the area make sure you pay a visit. You won't be disappointed.

Large portions, good menu with innovative choices plus the usual staples. I recommend the seafood but the sticky toffee pudding was a big hit with the kids. Friendly service.

This was my local for a few days. It's a cracking pub / restaurant although it's strictly part of the hotel obviously but doesn't feel like that. It has its own personality. The people that work there are sound and friendly. I got to know a few of them. Enjoyed chatting to the locals and trying out all the beers and also some good wine too. I ate here a few times actually and it was all tasty, no complaints. Had some mussels and also tried the scallops and enjoyed the pulled beef bap and chips. As I remember there is quite a varied choice on the bar menu and I noticed all sorts of dishes coming through. It's a cosy place and easy to wile away the hours having a good natter with folk. There were all kinds of people from all the world. Met some nice Canadians and Americans. It's in lovely spot. Right by the shore and the boat yard. I didn't go anywhere else in the village when I was up there as I liked it here.

Small and very friendly place. Easy to get to. Good food for a reasonable cost. Good drinks selection and lots of whiskies to choose from. Staff were very helpful and accommodating.

We stopped off at Arisaig and this was the only place open. Glad it was as the food and service were both excellent x

Excellent for lunch as well as dinner and not expense suits everyone's price My husband and I had the Mussels chips and Tomaro and Beetroot soup so tasty

Although very busy on our visit we had excellent prompt service. Food reasonably priced and tasted good. Good wine list.Couldn't find details anything not to like. The staff should be highly commended.

We were very warmly welcomed by the owners of this Bar/restaurant on a rather windy day in Arisaig. The food was absolutely delicious and the Haddock that we had come directly from Mallaig which is a renowned place for excellent fish of all sorts. The meal was cooked superbly and the deserts were fantastic. It was a lovely experience and if ever I go to Arisaig again I shall certainly go tothe Crofter's. Thank you and best wishes to you all.

Warm welcome, not an extensive menu but okay - thought it was a bit pricey for some items. £10.95 for cheese board?

Heel lekker gegeten in een pub waar ook de locals rondhangen! Goed eten, simpel maar erg lekker en vers!

We visited the Crofter's bar today for lunch and had a lovely welcome from the staff. Being a cold, wet day the roaring log fire was most delightful. Our dog was more than welcome in the bar area. The lunchtime menu was very extensive, all of it sounding very tempting. We both went for sandwiches, when they arrived they were far more restaurant quality rather than your usual pub food. This was our first visit but certainly won't be our last. We visit the area for our holidays regularly and will make this a lunch stop on all our visits. Thank you for such a lovely lunch

We loved this bar, we stopped on our way to Morar, we started with the scallops which were tender and delicious then I had the mussels which were very good and the sticky toffee pudding mmmmm!! The staff were friendly too, the barman advised us on whiskies :-)

Had dinner here last night. Seafood platter was amazing and nice atmosphere. Great decking area outside and they also have live music on some nights.

Food great and terrific value for money. Staff efficient and friendly . The place was busting and busy but we were seated very quickly with not much time to wait views over the bay were stunning and live music on most nights what more could you want

We arrived at noon but they don't serve food until 1230, the guy was so nice answering all our questions and we decided to stay. There is a lovely children's play room and the food was very good. We had 2 starters,mains and even a pudding to finish. Staff were friendly and great, not a cheap place but worth it!

We had a for day break in Arisaig, 5 in our group. We met in the Crofters Bar after a wet days fishing for three of the group, myself and Rosie visiting the local sites. We all ordered different meals and what a fantastic choice. Jodie our waitress was a delight, we kept changing our order as you can imagine but she got every order back to our table with no mistakes The food was hot, plenty of it and fantastic in flavours. We would all recommend this little gem in Arisaig today and every day.

Called in here on our way back to our digs after a long day touring Skye. The Crofters is attached to the Arisaig Hotel and was busy on our arrival. We managed to get a table and ordered fish and chips. Seemed to take ages to arrive and the food was just okay, nothing special at all. I think the issue with this place, certainly on our visit was the poor waiting staff were being run ragged. Could be so much better.

Voici une adresse qui mérite vraiment un petit détour par la route côtière! L'accueil est très sympa, servi rapidement..nous vous recommandons le "Sea bass stuffed with salmon" du poisson local....un régal!

El pub restaurante es agradable, lleno de gente. El servicio es atento y agradable. Comimos muy bien, pescado, ensaladas...y de postre sticky toffee. Todo muy bueno y precios moderados para lo que es Escocia.

A welcome retreat from the August weather !! Good selection of beers and whiskeys and the bar snacks represent good value and were cooked to order - nice seating area outside overlooking the bay for the finer weather - well worth a visit

Gutes, aufmerksames Personal zeichnet die gar nicht so kleine Bar aus. Fish & Chips sind ausgezeichnet ebenso das frische Guiness. Es gibt eine Terrasse mit Blick auf den Hafen. Da es in diesem langweiligen Kaff sonst nichts gibt, gibts von mir für diese Bar eine gute Note.

Great little bar. Very busy with locals and travellers for a Tuesday evening. We both had fish and chips - massive portions which we couldn't finish. All the food that came out of the kitchen looked appealing and folks were clearly there for more than the beer. Mixture of customers - Families, oldies and young (and well behaved dogs) all enjoying the 'craic'. One tiny point. The bar is small and on two levels. We were on the ground level. The upper level has a pool table in the middle and the players can be 'pretty close' to the customers when they take some of their shots.Enjoyed our evening.

Visited here on the last night of our holiday. Food was really nice and the staff serving very helpful and friendly always smiling. Location and atmosphere within all good. All in all a nice end to the week

We popped in for a coffee as the hotel does look inviting. It was around 11.30 am on a wet day and on arriving we were directed through to the bar and bistro by the lady doing the vacuuming. There was already a family in the first lounge and our arrival seemed to fluster the lady making the coffees so perhaps not the usual barrista. We sat in the bar by a french window to watch the rain bounce off the decking but there was a lovely wood burning stove to cheer the miserable day. The cake cabinet was empty but we were provided with two pieces of shortbread which were very nice discounting the cereal seed or pip that my partner found in his piece. Then a tray was brought up from the kitchen for us to choose from and the sponge cake we chose was almost solid so we guess this had come straight from the chiller cabinet. Although the staff were helpful it was a bit disappointing especially as it was my partner's birthday, and every day is a special one for someone. The ladies toilets had dodgy locks and both were tiny - so no swinging anything - and I'm not tall. So, some good but enough bad that we won't be going back, at least not for a coffee and cake experience.

Great decking area outside for a drink or meal. Indoors, lively and friendly. Good menu choice, not disappointed the food was fab. Credit to the hard workin bar and waiting staff

My dad and I thoroughly enjoyed a meal here prior to a trip to the Outer Hebrides. The food was excellent, really tasty and well-priced. I sampled the delicious Cullen Skink followed by the Cajun Fish Burger, which was lovely; my dad had the Chicken Liver Pâté followed by the Scampi, both of which he said were very, very tasty. The waitressing staff were excellent and kept us waiting just the right length of time. For two courses and a drink each (one alcoholic and one non-alcoholic), we paid just over the forty pounds mark, which was extremely good value given the value of produce you are being offered. Well worth a visit and a great find!!

Delicious food and varied menu. The Hot Chocolate Fudgy Cake is absolutely AMAZING! Small place but worth waiting for a table in the bar. Great atmosphere.

Called for a quick drink and stayed three hours...Nice laid back atmosphere with good music. I didn't eat but the food coming out the kitchen look good.Staff very friendly and accommodating. Will come again while we are in the area Got internet which is a huge bonus in this area.

A really good selection on the menu with daily specials. If the weather is fine, you can eat outside on the lovely terrace, which gets a lot of evening sun. Dog-friendly.

Phoned ahead to book table for 6 plus a toddler. Was told no booking required for bar area but when we arrived we were told we should have booked! However, managed to squeeze in to a small table and borrowed two extra stools. No help offered to accommodate us from the waiting staff. Was told the mussels were finished. Imagine our surprise, so see the neighbouring table, who came in 30 mins after ordering the non existing mussels which duly arrived...White bait starter was very 'fishy'a signthat this was actually off. Cullen skink had no body. Haddock was transluscent and definately past its best, peas were hard, burgers underdone. All in all very disappointing - particularly as it was a family meal for a dad and a grandad on Father's Day. Ordered a couple of beers and soft drinks but they never appeared. Service was dreadful. No attempt to offer colouring pictures/pens for our toddler. Wasn't asked if everything ok but would have been pretty obvious by the unfinished food.
