St Columba Hotel in Argyll & Bute

Iona is very small so there are limited offerings. Plus if busy, places often run out of different food. I had the kimchi tofu bon Ami sandwich and my husband had the Italian sandwich. I enjoyed my flavorful sandwich and my husband’s sandwich had one thin piece of meat…but it filled the gullet. Staff was fine and prices were reasonable

We had lunch here with “beef hot pot,” chips, salad. Irn bru to drink. Service efficient. Food delicious. Dessert carrot cake perfectly plated with one blacknerry, one raspberry, 2 blueberries and a spot of whipped cream. Excellent finish to the meal. Tea with lemon & ginger to accompany the cake.

I stayed here a number of years ago and back on Iona, although not staying at St Columba, we had a fabulous meal - much, much improved in recent years. Menu more imaginative and creative than previously. Lots of local dishes and of course the hotel has its own organic vegetable garden which supplies the kitchen

A visit to Iona is special. Whether you are a person of faith or not, the island has an intangible charm and tranquility that we found irresistible. The island takes on a particular magic after the last ferry has gone and you have the feeling of having it almost to yourselves. If that idea resonates with you, you obviously need a place to stay. For us the Sr Columba hotel fitted the bill perfectly. Rooms are well appointed. Service pleasant and friendly. Food and drink of a high quality, with a great view from the garden. All in all a really lovely base from which to explore this really special place.,

We stayed at the St. Columba and ate almost all our meals in the sunny restaurant with a gorgeous view of the water and grounds. Excellent food and service. Hats off to the chef and kitchen staff, plus wait staff of Sophia, Iona, Sara, Mirren, Matt, Joshua, and anyone else I can’t name who waited on our group of 26 pilgrims. Iona is a beautiful island made more special by the St. Columba hospitality and comfort.

Stayed two nights at the hotel and took all meals in the restaurant. Excellent staff, service, food, recommendations and of course the bar staff. Enjoyed the local fish and lamb meals as well as the traditional full Scottish breakfast. Great atmosphere and views. Will definitely stay again.

Excellent accueil, beau cadre et cuisine ultra correcte et variée. Nous avons beaucoup aimé. On peut prolonger la soirée dans un salon autour d'un thé ou d'un whisky.

If your looking for a delicious lunch you need to come here ! We all had the steak and ale pie with chips/salad and agreed it was the best we had ever tasted ! The views are beautiful across to mull and they have a lovely organic garden which is a must visit. Thanks folks !

Absolutely delicious food and very friendly and professional staff. Beautiful views from the restaurant. Starter and main portions were so generous we couldn’t manage a dessert. We’ll be eating here again later today, - i got food envy of my partner’s fish and chips! And I want to try a dessert!!

Très bonne cuisine ! En entrée l’assiette du pêcheur à partager proposait: des petites langoustines, une pince de crabe et un demi homard, le tout d’une fraîcheur exceptionnelle ! En plat du jour un filet de poulet savoureux. Et le fish and chips revisité était délicieux ! Il est cependant regrettable que nous ayons dû nous déplacer de salle pour pouvoir terminer notre verre de vin tranquillement. Ce qui a « cassé » l’ambiance de la soirée en amoureux.

We had dinner and staff were lovely. I had their take on fish and chips, which was potatoes made like patatas bravas seasoned with seaweed, topped with a gorgeous piece of sea bass. The smoked tartare sauce was superb. Our waiter Jez, was friendly and helpful. Will definitly book again next time I am on the island!

The hotel and seating areas are lovely with great views. We chose indoor dog friendly seating as there was no shade in the garden and it was a very hot day. The lunch menu had four sandwich options, two pies, or the soup. We ordered three pies, two beef and ale, and one mushroom and lentil, and a smoked cheese and chutney sandwich with chips. The pies were small, in individual dishes with a puff pastry lid. All were very dry, the beef ones needed much more gravy. The lentil one had no sauce at all and no sign of a mushroom anywhere! The sandwich was fabulous. Cost us £110 for lunch for 4 which felt expensive for the food received. Service was slow as it was a busy day but super friendly.

We visited Iona mid-week in mid-May, but all the local eateries were booked up. We managed to get a late table reservation here and what a treat it turned out to be. Very high quality cooking and generous portions at quite reasonable prices. It was almost worth the trek over to Iona just for the meal.

An excellent early evening family dinner for 3 generations. The staff were wonderful, so friendly and took very good care of us. I highly recommend thd seafood platter sharing starter which was delicious as well as beautifully presented. It was also a great introduction for the children to some new foods. Two good sized portions of fish and garden crisps and one gnocchi main left us all happy and full. The children cleared their plates of their sausage and chips and fish fingers and chips and after a long play in the garden could manage a pudding of local Mull ice cream. I love a pudding and really enjoyed the mint and cinamon yoghurt with pistachio and berries. I cant wait to go back and try the scallops. Also a shout out to the bread maker - the home made bread was superb.

Nach einem regnerischen Tag durften wir uns mit Suppe aus dem "The Ladder" Shop (gehört zum Hotel) und Tee aufwärmen/Trocknen. Es war sehr gemütlich .

The view is amazing but the food was a bit of a disappointment. Got the Wood Pigeon and it was tough and both servings had birdshot in them. A risk of the dish I know, but for both dishes to have them means they weren't checking well

Soup and a sandwich, with GF bread on request. A very welcome snack and the dogs were delighted to be allowed into the lounge too. The staff were very helpful.

Visited for lunch but due to a pre-booked party availability was limited (1245-1330) however we had a meal in the bar. Staff very good and food was fine, burgers good, fishnchips, stew and mash small portion presentation could have been better but guess being picky.

We came here for an evening meal on our overnight stay on Iona. It was a bit on the pricey side but the seared trout was cooked beautifully, the wine was delicious and the waiters serving so friendly and engaging. The cheeseboard in particular was excellent, far too much really but the Morangie Brie was a real treat! Thank you to all the staff and chefs, it was a highlight of our holiday.

We visited the St. Columba Hotel restuarant twice while we are staying on Mull. The lunches are very tasty and great value. The staff are friendly and efficient. We ate outside in the garden once and the other time inside.

Gorgeous view over the sea. Friendly, helpful staff. Dinner A special of local langoustines in garlic butter followed by a rack of lamb which was superb. Helped by their own gin! Definitely worth a visit. I also stayed which was delightful.

Service was very friendly and efficient; the waiter was very helpful and chatty. Food was good, would recommend the lamb burger and the beef stew.

I try to take a positive attitude towards reviews but doing so on this occasion is something of a challenge. We booked a table for lunch and were presented with a very limited menu, of which 2 items were unavailable due to demand. We were...

I arrived at the restaurant before lunch had started, so the staff let me sit at a table and brought over some tea while I waited for lunch to start, which I appreciated. In my opinion, the lunch menu was pretty limited in option, but...

We visited the Columba hotel restaurant while in Iona , at the weekend, the food and service was superb, definitely worth every penny, will definitely be back to visit

Fantastic dinner, everything perfect. Very highly recommended. Don't bother with any other restaurants on Iona.

Fabulous lunch today of beer battered fish & chips. With local ale to drink plus a good wine list. Super efficient and friendly staff Wonderfully clean in all areas.

Had a really lovely meal in a great setting with very attentive service. All the seafood was fantastic - trout especially. Sensibly priced and decent house wine

Stopped for coffee and cake overlooking the Iona bay, gorgeous stop. Helpful staff and prompt with Covid precautions of track and trace. Pecan brownie was super tasty

Nice place to go when you get off the busy ferry, most folk go up towards the Cathedral and don't notice the hotel. Nice tea and scones.

We spent a lovely few hours here having afternoon coffee and enjoying the beautiful view outside their fantastic lounge. Thank you.

The hotel looked really stylish and inviting from the outside but, ultimately, we were a little disappointed. The menu was limited and my mackerel was as unexciting as it sounds. Quite expensive for what it was too and slow service. The garden looks lovely. Perhaps...

Cyclists are not a very discerning bunch - we are just hungry. St Columba was a very nice setting to pass a July evening. Plenty of options, available reservations (its a bit back from the ferry landing so not as obvious as the other options...

Nous avons passé une nuit en camping sur l'île d'Iona et nous sommes arrivés dans ce restaurant un peu par...

We stayed here for a few days. The breakfasts were good and the dinner we had there very pleasant. I had the chicken stuffed with haggis which I really enjoyed. The service was a little haphazard and it was sometimes difficult to get the message across about my wife's dietary requirements. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is restful. The view from the dining room is great.

The exceptional view and friendly staff couldn’t make up for the mediocre lunch. I had a chips (the best part of the meal) and dry lamb burger with a scraping of chutney and a bit of unripe tomato and lettuce. Not very imaginative. But it was the bun that really disappointed - obviously a packet bun that was stale, as was my friend’s accompanying bread to her soup. Her soup had no garnish, which considering its summer and the hotel has a lush garden you would think would be standard. Overall, very ordinary and not the level it used to be. To be fair, I am probably a bit biased as i was once the baker at the hotel so have high standards for bread, but more effort and imagination would be nice in what u believe is a 4⭐️Hotel.

A very fine restaurant serving fresh local food. The lobster was a dream from the sea. Scallops were tasty. The beef cheek succulent. Deserts wholesome and fresh. Ice cream didn't disappoint. Highly recommend but book to avoid disappointment. Friendly helpful staff too. Thank you

On our first visit to Iona a week previously we had spotted the wonderful garden and tables where lucky guests were enjoying lunch. A week later after an early trip to Staffa we headed up to grab a table and enjoy the views and sunshine. Staff were friendly and helpful and we loved the seafood platters. The muscles were particularly good. Good quality food in an amazing setting.

Popped into the hotel to avoid the rain on our way to visit the Abbey. We were warmly welcomed and led to a cosy, tastefully decorated sitting room where we could warm up next to a fire with our wee dog .

It was a nice place to eat, basically. The dessert was very good. We had a waitress from Spain who seemed somewhat difficult to communicate with. Otherwise, meals were good, if a bit on pricey side.

The menu was interesting and different. Our choices proved very tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful despite the fact that the restaurant was full. Our son enjoyed a special farm produced craft beer.

Would recommend booking in advance. Had a really nice evening nice views and great food. The restaurant also has a small shop across the road that’s well worth a browse. Very relaxed informal atmosphere basically a nice informal restaurant serving good food.

Wonderful Iona deserves a stunning, world class hospitable inn. This hotel and restaurant seemed to us to miss a trick.

We had gone for dinner expecting good things . The hotel was packed with large numbers of Americans groups and those of us in smaller numbers were rather overlooked. We were shown into a lounge, left with drinks menus and eventually served with drinks. After that, we were ignored. Eventually, we made our own way to one of the dining rooms, were seated and brought food menus. I chose a fish dish with a mussel garnish in a seafood sauce. The sauce smelled disgustingly of drains. I cannot imagine what any chef could have put in the sauce to achieve that smell and taste. The waitress - quite wisely - refused to smell the dish, but I was refunded the cost of that course. It quite literally left a very bad taste in the mouth. No amount of organic vegetables could make up for that fishy disaster.

After a long walk, this was a welcoming sight. Lunch was good, we had bacon sandwich and lamb burger (though the latter was a bit dry). Our waitresses were friendly. The views were amazing, obviously the good weather helped.

After a long walk around the island we stopped for a G&T; before the ferry trip home. It was a lovely day so we sat in the garden drinking and taking in the views over to Mull.

Omdat de keuken in Iona nergens open was, boden ze ons aldaar een sandwich zalm aan die bloedrood was (i.p.v. zalmroze). Lekker!

There are not many restaurant choices on Iona in October. Our large group arranged in advance for lunch at the St Columba Hotel. While some of the staff were accomodating, our waitress was absolutely the most unfriendly, unwelcoming person I experienced in my 17-days of travel around Scotland. Scotland has the most wonderful, warm, charming, welcoming people you could ever imagine. That is why it was such a disappointment to have such an unwelcoming, unfriendly, unpleasant waitress. Food was quite good, but entire meal was stained by the terrible unfriendly service.

During our trip to Iona, we had lunch at St. Columba Hotel. We had various fish dishes and mussels. The restaurant was not crowded at all, so our order was taken and food prepared in short order. Beer was served cold, a nice refresher for mid-day. We sat at a table by the window, had a fantastic view of the water, sheep, and cattle. The price was reasonable for lunch, and the servers were all friendly.

This was the restaurant our tour company chose. It was very nice and well-kept, and the scenic view from our dining room outstanding! The food was good, but they seemed a little understaffed for the size of our group. I'd recommend it, especially if you sit at the windows!

We had a wonderful dinner here in July 2018. The serving staff were very welcoming and professional, and the meals we ordered were top-notch. We only wish we could have returned a second night!

Dropped in as a non resident during a brief trip to Iona. The food was simple, but cooked perfectly and really effective flavours, beautifully well done!

This restaurant is on the lower floor of the Hotel with nice views overlooking the water and Mull. The food was good. Not to overpriced. The fish and chips were very good. Service was fast and attentive.

My cousin and I arrived on Iona on the last ferry. We walked past the hotel in the way to the Iona Pods. Made a booking and enjoyed a lovely three course meal with the best waitstaff during this trip of Scotland and Ireland. Clean, pretty deco, great table setting and delicious food. Every aspect of this dinning experience was 10/10. The starter was my favourite, black pudding with scallops, trio of fish next, and then on to the lemon tart. Tasty bottle of Pinot Grigio, and I am normally a red drinker. A very pleasant dinning experience and all very reasonable priced. Looking forward to my next visit to Scotland and Iona.

Great organic lunch overlooking the Spuld of Iona and Mull. Reasonably priced food served by very helpful staff. Lovely lounge to drink coffee afterwards and relax in comfy chairs. Perfect location if it begins to rain.

l can recommend eating a delicious freshly made lunch in the hotel's garden. The service was excellent and the views breathtaking. Their prawn & avacado salad, and fish & chips were delicious, great coffee, and good value.

The two stars are for the lovely two ladies who did their best to counteract the negativity of their male colleague. Arriving for lunch at 2.30 we were told lunch was finished but soup and cakes were still available. Perfect for our needs but too much for the man on duty who was more concerned with where we were sitting than talking my our order. Lack of communication between the staff meant we were moved THREE times in order for the male member of staff to set up for evening meals. Evening meals started 3 hours later!! Don't think we would still be there 3 hours later! In fact we seriously considered cancelling our order and moving on elsewhere as our presence seemed to be too much of an inconvenience for him. Then the bill... over £3 for a coke and the same for the smallest cup of coffee reveived in a long time.

It's what one would expect in a tourist area that is a launch point to Mull and Iona. It's above average and clean but not luxury. The decor is strictly modern in a building that cries for vintage decor to represent its past. Clean, and the restaurant is also above average but not spectacular. Visited in April about 6 years ago.

What a delicious menu they have - and on our recent trip, they were so accommodating to our vegan needs, when we let them know before-hand! The restaurant is clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view - and the servers are all so kind! They always checked to see if we needed anything, just wonderful service! And the food was totally delicious! The soups were heavenly, and just so comforting on the chilly days there - they just hit the spot! A wonderful , memorable dining place! Can't wait to return! :)

My wife's birthday. We had an early reservation, with a window table with a wonderful view. Service was OK, for a while ... then it fell apart. We were forgotten and left to ourselves while a large party filled an adjacent room. The food look nice, but was disappointing. Everything could have been so much better with only a little attention to service.

Our overall impression was not a good one. The staff really didn't seem to care if we where there or not. Their lack of enthusiasm or energy was sad. I think that the leadership of this place is likely at fault. The food was passable...

We made a quick one day trip to Iona toward the end of our Scotland trip and chose St. Columba Hotel as our accommodation. Very glad we did. Simply and beautifully re-done, the hotel has outstanding views from the restaurant, lounge and rooms across the...

Seems there are 3 places for dinner on the island I couldn't get a table at the Argyle for either night. So if you want to go there book! The Martyrs bay restaurant/bar is best avoided if you want to eat. Food was horrible. However...

Very good lunch and great staff. We had great fish with a stunning view. The restaurant has tables outside and you can enjoy the quite atmosphere on the island. I loved the Crab cake and the soup of the day.

Stopped here for lunch during visit and enjoyed a delicious beef stew and treated ourselves to sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Good service, friendly staff.

Comida increíble - productos y presentación fantástica, con flores comestibles! Fantástica ubicación - vista hermosa!

Si pasas cualquier cantidad de tiempo en Iona, probablemente termines vuelve a la Columba Hotel, ya que es uno de sólo un puñado de sitios para tomar una cerveza o cenar. Es un buen lugar para tomarse una cerveza o dos, ya que tiene un...

As there are only 3 places to eat on the island for dinner choice is limited. However, we ate here twice because it was very delicious and they had a nice children's menu.

We were hungry after our adventure in the morning on Staffa Isle. This place had been scoped out by our friend and was on the way to the Abby. We were promptly seated. Service and food was good. Nice views of bay.

Bonne cuisine. Saumon, moules, salades tb.Cadre parfait vue mer. À côté de l'église donc très facile à trouver.. Excellent accueil. À recommander absolument

I was amazed at the cuisine at the St. Columba! Their chefs are experts at using local resources to craft exquisite meals evocative of traditional Scottish fare with a nod towards modernity and haute cuisine. The meals I enjoyed during my time on the island could easily compete with the five star restaurants I've visited in London and New York. Even if you are not staying as a guest at the hotel, you must treat yourself to a meal at the St. Columba.

Quaint little hotel restaurant with lovely views of the water. Iona is enchanting and one should come for a long weekend if you want to feel relaxed and away from it all. I had a cheese sampler plate and ginger beer and it was superb! The hotel lobby/fireplace looks like a scene from a storybook... I went to the restroom and took a video of the crackling fire instead-ha! My friend thought I got lost. I think I would like to come and stay here for a night or two.

We have been to iona many times but never normally eat on the island. Using it as a destination to walk and take in its beauty before heading to knockvulugan for a picnic.However we tried something different on this visit and went into the hotel for lunch. I ordered a lamb and haggis burger. It was sensational. The chips were also amazing. Everybody in our party enjoyed their food. It has a lovely area to eat with big windows to see the views and as it was a nice day I was able to take my son outside and let him explore without disturbing too many people. Absolute revelation and we will be back

We had fish and chips and we loved the fish but the battery was a bit greasy. It is a pretty spot to eat. I wish they had GRILLED or pan fried fish.

had a lovey lunch at the St. Columba. Fish and Chips where delicious. Nice and friendly staff. Beautiful garden with a great view.

Very tiny rooms. Very small menu and bland, blah main items. Quite disappointed we stayed the night.

The restaurant serves the hotel, but is open to non-residents. The food is good, well cooked and presented, and the menu reasonably varied. The service is friendly.

Firstly, the food:Both the scallops (starters) and the brill (main) were a delight, tasting of the sea, which is not surprising seeing as they are locally caught, and bought direct from the boats. Many of the vegetables and fruit are grown in the hotel garden.The service:Professional, friendly, unobtrusive, helpful. In other words, just right!The view:The wide windows look across to the Ross of Mull, and up and down the Sound of Iona. Where in the world is more beautiful than this?Tip:The hotel is ideal for morning coffee and afternoon tea, both of which are served outside in clement weather, otherwise indoors, in the fine lounge, with its long windows and tranquil atmosphere.Will we return?Yes, please! We've already stayed six times in a lovely cottage (Lagandorain) on the northern tip of Iona, and hope to return many more times. Walking to St Columba's Hotel for coffee, tea or dinner is one of many things we look forward to doing.

We had superb food there last week, from the starter platter of smoked fish/seafood to a delicious steak and ale pie, there were lots of locally sourced ingredients and the food was fabulous. A special shout out to all for coping so well during a power cut - we still got fed great food. Staff are happy and it's a lovely atmosphere. Lots of choice on gf and df too marked on the menu.

We stopped here for lunch while visiting Iona, the staff were very helpful and accommodating and we enjoyed a very tasty meal here. Pretty & clean hotel with plenty of character, the prices were very reasonable too for the quality. We had 4 children with us who were made very welcome and they loved running around in the garden, sitting outside the views are to die for. Would highly recommend.

a warm welcome in the bar/restaurant where there is a good selection on the menu. It is not the cheapest place to eat on the island but probably not the most expensive

We ate lunch here before heading up to the Abbey. Because we were part of a small group, we had little choice in food options. The staff was friendly and the location was perfect.

On our first night in Iona, we tried to get a reservation at the St. Columba and we're politely turned away. They, quite reasonably, give preference to their residents. We asked to be waitlisted for the next night and were contacted at our hotel to let us know a table was available. Good, attentive wait staff. Good food, although the medium-rare sirloin was more on the medium side. Very pleasant experience.

While visiting Isle of Iona we did not stay at the St. Columba Hotel but did have lunch there on one occasion. The dining area is bright and inviting with unique tables made from recycled lumber. The lunch menu offered several options and the service was friendly and efficient. We had the soup of the day along with local bread and thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Four of us shared an excellent quality 3 course dinner celebrating our friends anniversary. The service was excellent and of the highest standard.

Had the hotel breakfast here during my stay and found it sufficient for the most part. I came down toward the end of the breakfast time one morning and found that almost everything had been devoured, but managed to make due with a roll and butter and some coffee. The young man who was servicing the area seemed distracted and more interested in conversation with other hotel staff, so our table was left pretty much to fend for ourselves. The next morning we came down earlier and found everything well tended and supplied. A much better experience the second day...

Excellent hotel food is second to none. All fresh and menu tell you how it's sourced. Staff are fantastic and happy to help

Este hotel no es moderno es de estilo victoriano pero tiene habitaciones confortables y con unas vistas estupendas a la bahía y al puerto pesquero donde se come pescado recién traído y cocinado allí mismo

Excellent place to eat, very friendly and accomodating staff. Delicious breakfast two days in a row, fresh delicious food tailored to gluten free diners.Thanks again.

Wir besuchten unter anderem auf unserer Route mit der MS Europa 2 auch die Insel Iona. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis. Iona Abbey ist wirklich ein Besuch wert vor allem für uns aus der Ostschweiz war es sehr interessant zu hören woher der "Ursprung" des Klosters St. Gallen kommt. Da das Wetter einfach super war, haben wir es uns in diesem Restaurant gemütlich gemacht und die tolle Aussicht genossen. Haben nur etwas getrunken, kann daher nicht sagen wie das Essen ist. Es war jedoch eine sehr schöne Gartenanlage.

Staying elsewhere on the Island but dined at St Columba.....Very nice too. Served by the lovely Leanne who was very efficient and helpful. Nice steaks, seabass...yummy sticky toffee pudding. Would recommend.

We had a really lovely day weather wise for our trip to Iona and we sat in the garden for our lunch at St Columba hotel. The food was lovely and a reasonable price and the location is perfect.

The lunch our family had at St Columba Hotel was perfect. Tasty, excellent choices, and in a beautiful setting. They have a large garden beside the Hotel where they grow their own greens.

I had the most delicious lunch of smoked salmon with a green salad. The flavours in the salad were great...enhanced by flowers. I didn't know rose petals tasted so good! Hubby had a more traditional burger and chips but this too was a very special meal. We were outside in the sunshine overlooking the bay and with a fantastic view of Mull. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and efficient. I can also recommend the cheesecake.

Ahotel and open to non resedents a good place to pop in for alight lunch or a 3 course meal if you want that ,staff very helpful and know how to serve

We had a beautiful sunny day and enjoyed being served at the picnic tables. Great fish and chips, sticky toffee pudding.

Stopped at this restaurant during early bird tour of 3 isles, waiting for ferry back to MullThis restaurant had a good selection of food at reasonable pricesSteak in steak pie was soft and tender; fish and chips were freshly preparedFinished off in nice Garden to enjoy a cold pint in the Sunshine Good service, friendly staffThe place to eat in Iona

We stopped in for lunch while visiting Iona.We had home made lentil soup - Looked lovely but lacked flavour and seasoning.Burger looked delicious but was way undercooked. Burger was returned without question. Accompanying leaves on the burger roll were very dry and uninspiring to look at. No choice of dressings or sauces offered - we had to ask for a dressing or mayonnaise.Chips looked nice - we did not get to taste them since burger was returned immediately.Nice choice of soft drinks and beers.Staff not really 'switched on or servce aware'. Not bad, just Functioning and needed to be prompted.Wish it could have been a better experience. Maybe with other choices of food.

We have visited this restaurant a number of times and have always enjoyed it despite it being a bit overpriced but not on this occasion.We both ordered the fish and chips but when it arrived the piece of fish had been cut in half and shared between the two of us.I asked the waiter why we had to share a piece of fish and he shrugged and said it was a large fish. If it had been well cooked it may have been acceptable but unfortunately the batter was undercooked and still liquid inside. To add insult to injury there were no chips but seven over cooked and probably reheated potato wedges accompanied by a small pot of crushed peas. The only reasonable size portion on the plate was the large dish of tartar sauce. This was not an acceptable meal priced at £12.00 each and although dining choices are limited on Iona I will never visit here again.
