Taste n' Sea in Eilean Siar

Food van but no ordinary food van. A wonderfully fresh fish experience. On a freezing cold drive we stopped here for the box of seafood special and titbits for the kids. Outstanding quality, we really enjoyed it.

We have driven passed here numerous times from Scarista to Stornoway and back but it’s never been the right time or the weather to stop until today. Just wish we had made time before as it was great! We both had the squat lobster scampi, French fries and salad. All were beautifully prepared and cooked while we waited. When we returned out empty containers I said we would definitely be back.

Great food, great view and great service. The breaded scampi was fantastic and the view over Loch Seaforth was magnificent.

We totally loved what we had, lovely people and great service ! The sea bass risotto would give the top restaurants a run for their money.

Stopped here twice on our travels around the island. The cullen skink was excellent, as was the scampi and chips. Do not be put off by the appearance on the side of the road. The location is great when the mists lift! Strongly recommded!

Great view, delicious food and fab service. Had a very excellent fish and chips and a calamari and chips. Orders came with tasty salad, coleslaw and garlic mayo. Fantastic

We loved our very tasty Cullen Skink and our brownies. The brownies were moist. chocolate heaven. They seemed expensive at £3.00 each, but we're quite large and utterly delicious.

Took him to Calbost, Delicious Lobster quiche with salad for starters and the main event Huge Langoustines with sweet corn salsa and buttered brown bread. Many thanks, Guys, fresh and tasty, best food we’ve had all weekend. Wishin you good times ahead 👍

Do not drive by this unassuming food van. So delicious. We had scalpy lobster scampi and fries. Generous portions and utterly delicious. See for yourself!

Lovely spot and lovely service - clearly very popular, parking I’m sure is ample most of the time, but being so popular it was a little tight on the day.

I had the taste box with lots of different seafood, chips and salad. It was very delicious and massive portions for £12. Bit big for lunch but lovely as a treat. Waited over 30mins on the day I went but it was a very hot day and a lot of people around.

Taste n'Sea was recommended to us by the B & B owner we were staying with. So glad we listened - the food was delicious and the staff were fabulous. Despite the day being a wet, midge-filled one this meal was outstanding!

The first time we stopped we missed it on the way to Callanish as it was so misty, luckily on the way back the mist had lifted. It is situated at the side of the road with a great view towards Loch Seaforth and Skye in the distance. It’s a husband and wife team. He catches the fish and she cooks it.

We arrived before noon and there were no specials on the board. On their Facebook page they've got a tasty selection of specials.

Stopped at taste n sea in north Harris this afternoon. Owner Irene and the lovely Catherine gave service with a smile. They are situated at the most marvellous view out to the open sea. Our freshly cooked goujons of haddock were superb as we're the crispy fried calamari, the crowning glory has to be the 4huge langoustines and home made red slaw. Everything was freshly cooked to order and as such was delicious. We also had skinny fries and cans of coke and it only came to £27. Great value for money. They are open 6 days a week from 8am till 6pm, serving breakfast also. I would recommend it to anyone, restaurant quality food at much friendlier prices,. What a little gem!

Amazing food ,very good position , cheap and very nice people.We try many food options in their buffet but one problem was a once you didn't have what we ordered for breakfast for next day before leaving Outer Hebrides.You are perfect and great.We will back soon and Thank you for all.

You have to wait for the food, but that's because its fresh. The food is locally sourced, fresh and well cooked. Highly recommended a visit, we'll be back.

Stopped at Taste n’ Sea for lunch. Between us we had a crab salad roll, fish goujons and calamari, all cooked fresh to order and absolutely delicious. Staff really friendly and it’s a lovely way to meet fellow holiday makers and of course locals!

This place had a beautiful view to start with. The food was so fresh and tasted amazing. The staff were so friendly and genuinely lovely. Will definately be coming back!

We stopped at Taste n'Sea for a quick bite on the way to the ferry. However, quick it was not! Maybe it was just our timing as a small crowd was waiting for their food when we arrived. The good itself though was excellent to include the paninis, burgers, and the brownie.

This place was recommended to us in the morning and we were not disappointed! Freshly cooked fish gougons and Calamari with fries and a portion of langoustines cooked in garlic butter! Oh and a Chocolate Brownie. All absolutely delicious. The man whi served us couldn't have been more helpful and obviously really enjoys cooking this really fresh seafood. Brilliant location, just needed slightly better weather to be able to sit out and enjoy the view!

We came here purposely as we had heard great things about the food and travelled out if our way to do so.

We popped in for lunch on the way back from Lewis and were not disappointed, I had the Fish Box and hubby had the homemade sausage roll and chips. Lovely friendly staff and a great addition to the wonderful food outlets in the Western Isles, we hope to return soon.

Only had 1/2 container of Cullen Skink left so negotiated the soup and a cup cake for the same price. Cullen Skink was brilliant and loved the cake! Will be back!

Great place to stop on way to / from Harris or Lewis. great food, great views and we even saw 4 Golden Eagles on the hills behind !

Passed this the first time when my wife said she didn't want to risk seafood from a mobile food seller. I sulked, so after a quarter of a mile we turned round and came back. SO glad we did - excellent fish box, with really nice fresh-cooked food in there, nice coleslaw and garlic mayonnaise. Even as I got out of the car, the young lady gave a cheery 'hello', which was a great welcome, followed by really nice friendly chat.

Anyone who has travelled north of Kaikoura in South Island New Zealand will be aware of the road side Nins Bins where travellers can purchase ready cooked lobster and crayfish.

Unfortunately our experience wasn't good, unlike other reviewers. We ordered the fish and the squid rings and was given a buzzer. Unfortunately the buzzer never went off, so we seemed to wait for ages. Seemingly our food had been ready for a number of minutes but no one came to tell us. When we did get it the squid rings were like rubber and you couldn't bite through them and the fish was average. Very disappointed, based on the reviews that we read. Perhaps an off day for them!

Stopped off here whilst travelling from Harris to Lewis. The location has an awesome view. Fish was outstanding. Try the box of the day. Service great. They even give you a buzzer to put in your car to let you know when your order is ready!

We stopped here by acciodent and ended up having one of the best and freshest seafood meals on Harris. Two of us shared a seafood platter and it was fantastic. Great views while we ate as well. Highly recommended!

Had fish bites and squid rings. The food was brilliant, just what was needed after walking the bird of prey trail at bogha glas. Great views over Loch Shiphoirt. One of the food highlights of our stay in Harris.

The best food of our 4 day stay on lewis and harris. Perfectly cooked scallops and black pudding. My husbands fish was also excellent. Very good value. Will be back next time for sure.

Came upon Taste n' Sea unexpectedly at the roadside with a fantastic view down Loch Shiphoirt. We stopped for goujons, chips and salad as this was the best meal we had in the two weeks we stayed in the Outer Hebrides

The most wonderful roadside ‘streetfood’ you will ever eat. Cullen skink to die for, delicious salty chips, followed by hot tea on a rain-sodden day with the most gorgeous chocolate brownies (made by the owner’s husband, following her recipe) and the fluffiest victoria sponge. We were walking the Hebridean Way and it was pouring with rain, so the owner told us to sit in her car and eat. Which we did. Hebridean hospitality. Thank you.

Stopped here on way back from Tarbert yesterday. Ordered two Fish Boxes. Beautiful food. Great customer service. Will be back soon.

Tucked in a lay-by this little silver van serves fresh and local produce, we had Cullen skink, broth, homemade chicken burger and the fish box all cooked to perfection. Friendly staff delivered food to our car although we were given a bleeper to let us know when it was ready. This little gem is a must visit if in the area.

Lovely position looking over loch seaforth. We drove over from Harris as this place was recommended to us by a couple of islanders. My sea food mixed tray was fresh and delicious, with a nice coleslaw and salad. Julie had lobster quiche and new potatoes again served with a salad. It's great to find somewhere up here doing something different and we wish you all the best for your future business.

What a surprise. We pulled into a lay-by and there was Taste n' Sea - a roadside van in a stunning location serving fresh takeaway food including lovely looking cakes. We bought the fish box which was made up of freshly battered and cooked haddock goujons, langoustine, prawns and calamari served with fries, mayonnaise and homemade coleslaw and ate it in our campervan with a perfect view. It was the best tasting seafood and the batter was crisp and light. Friendly staff too. Would definitely go back.

It's so much more than a roadside van. Seriously good fresh seafood - we ate there twice and would come back anytime. Try the fish box, you won't be disappointed. It can get quite busy, with lots of locals stopping for lunch - which is a good sign. Note that the location on the map is incorrent (as of May 2019). They're located in a car park on overlooking Loch Seaforth, on the main road, about a 15 min drive north of Tarbert, not near Leverburgh!

Couldn’t believe my ears when my friend was told there was gluten free batter available for me!! We all had a superb lunch - well deserved after our 3 hour, strenuous cycle up out of Tarbert and my fish box in particular, was fabulous. I couldn’t have the breaded lobster but was giving extra of other bits to make up. I believe the fish wraps were excellent too. Fantastic!

We were driving down to Harris on an errand and stopped in for lunch, having heard great things about the food at Taste n'Sea. We were not disappointed! Wonderful fish cakes with horseradish mayonnaise and salad, So fresh and utterly delicious. Thank you to the two lovely ladies who cooked and served us this treat. We will now make excuses to travel down when you are open!

Stopped here cycling from tarbet to loch erisort. Had the fish box and a fish wrap. It was brilliant. Its just a wee portacabin but the food is freshly caught and cooked while you wait. The owners are so friendly and fun. Cant recommend this place highly enough. Definitely worth the cycle up the Clisham.

We stopped here on our way back from Stornaway and had the Fish Platter which was really good considering this is all made in a mobile van. Loads of people stop at this venue which shows how good this is. Definitelyworth a visit

not a roadside grease spoon but a delightful place to stop for a snack . well done, fresh seafood and fair £

We visited before our Eagle walk at Bowglass and enjoyed the delicious fish box and fresh chicken burgers on offer that day. The fish box is absolutely delicious, the fish so fresh and was accompanied by squat lobster and prawns. It came with a little tub of home made coleslaw along with a salad with added samphire - both very yummy! The setting is amazing - we visited on a gloriously sunny day and ate our lunch looking out over Loch Seaforth! What an experience. Thank you!

We were recommended to this roadside food truck by a local from the other end of the island. Everybody here knows about this great little van - sitting in a lay-by above Loch Seaforth just on the border between Lewis and Harris. We arrived just on 6pm when they were closing. But the owners were very happy to crank up the kitchen and serve us a meal. We had wonderful fresh calamari and local slipper lobster. Delicious. And so cheap. Add in the view of the loch and the birds of prey soaring above - a spectacular place for a snack. And very lovely people. They also have a holiday cottage to rent in the loch below. Haste ye back

As a rule very good, had a 3/4 hour wait and food not up to the usual standard. Not sure what caused delay as there were only half a dozen customers one of which couldn’t wait for their meal due to the delay. When the meal eventually arrived there was an empty paper pot in the box which presumably should have contained tartare sauce to go with the fish. On this occasion very, very disappointing .

These young people deserve to succeed. An idyllic spot. A silver caravan in a layby with a couple of cable drums for tables is the fact, but... these young folk are industrious and charming, with a comprehensive snack menu, served in minute or two while you sit outdoors taking in the spectacular view down Loch Seaforth. You could sit in your car if it's raining, but you won't get the atmosphere! The Meavaig trail is just down the road. No toilets.

Well pulled in to a wee stone car park with a smart silver food trailer. Coffee ended up chicken burger chips and coffee. Sitting overlooking Lock Seaforth, what a great place it has everything, and today it also has the weather 👍👍

This is island street food at its best. We had the fish box and were blown away by the freshness. It contained langoustine, squat lobster, calamari and haddock goujons. The fish and shellfish is caught by the husband of the lady who has the food van.
