The Hungry Gull in Highland

Fantastic food and friendly staff. Best fish and chips I've had for a long time, also beautiful breakfasts. Dogs are welcomed.

Our food was great - a soup of the day, another dish and a chocolate peanut brownie (vegan, I believe.) All was very good, and our waitress and other staff were so nice & friendly. A pleasant place to get lunch between the sights of Skye!

This place is wonderful! The menu was varied with really good vegan and vegetarian offerings! I had the rice bowl with tofu which was absolutely delicious and my partner had a vegetarian breakfast wrap with haggis, which he said was brilliant. Good selection of drinks and good/quick service. There was a slight queue when we arrived, we hadn’t booked but were quickly seated and the meal was worth the wait!

We visited fairly late afternoon on Saturday afternoon when hot food service had finished, so just cake available. It felt a bit disorganised, but the tea was ok, the scones and cake were excellent. A useful stopping off point for refreshments!

In Staffin with friends for the annual triathlon, one of our party pre-booked The Hungry Gull for Friday evening (I just made it in time & glad I did). The food was excellent and reasonably-priced, while there is a large selection of Black Isle beers, two on draught and more in cans (refrigerated). We were a party of 7 and the service was excellent. The staff were very busy, but always pleasant and attentive. Portions were substantial and there was a reasonable selection of Vegetarian; Vegan and Gluten-free options, too. We enjoyed it so much, we re-booked for the following evening and will happily call in on future visits.

Great food! Staff were very friendly and happy to make changes to meals where necessary. The cafe has a very peaceful atmosphere even having some board games. Lovely views of Skye from the windows.

We stopped in for coffee and were surprised to find they served gluten-free fish & chips, so we had to have some - delicious, light, and perfectly cooked! Coffee was good too.

After walking around the Fairy Glen and hiking the Quiraing, we were exhausted and hungry to put it mildly. Think legs shaking from fatigue. This friendly cafe came to our rescue. We had the best hamburgers we found in Scotland, period. Their hand cut chips (fries) were also appreciated. My husband had a draught pint which hit the spot. The staff was quick and organized. I have no photos as I was unable to lift my camera up.

We got there by accident, as we were using the nearby shop. We were very pleased by the initial customer service, as they let us use the toliet before they opened, so we decided to wait and stay for food. I am afraid there might be no words at any language to describe how great our experience was. Lovely indie interior made out of some random stuff, which surprisingly works together very well. All members of staff were very friendly, helpful, nice and professional. We ordered the special which was veg haggis on toast, and grilled pork belly. Both dishes came beautifully presented. Quality was stunning (great sour dough) and the taste was too die for. If there is heaven and they have food, I hope it tastes like In the hungry gull! We were so impressed, that at the end we decided to also spent a pretty penny and get us 3 isle of skye prints.

We love this place. Quirky and unpretentious. Friendly staff. Amazing food, with a twist. Dog friendly, which is always a bonus.

We had a lovely lunch in here , the food is so tasty , the girl that served us was lovely, so pleasant , she told us it’s her first week in the job , she is a delight 🤩

Came for lunch and just had to come back for dinner as well. Staff is so lovely, and even when rushed off their feet they gave us a nice experience. Food is really good and cheap for that quality! Good atmosphere, perfect for couples, friends, families - all ages really.

Wow! The staff were adorable, the food was delicious, the coffee was excellent, the place had a really cool hygge kinda koselig vibe and I loved the music choice. Just go! I hope you enjoy it us as much as we did.

This hit the spot! A very busy little place - well worth the wait. We enjoyed the Gull Burger and cakes. They were all delicious! The staff were friendly and welcoming and it was a really nice vibe inside. I would def recommend!

Wunderschönes, kleines Restaurant, mit unglaublich freundlicher Bedienung und grandioser Atmosphäre. Die tolle Musikauswahl und das wirklich leckere Essen komplettieren das Ganze.

Super endroit, repas de qualité et super accueil, perdu au milieu de nul part ! Attention à commander à l’avance !

Absolutely delicious local food, would highly recommend for a light bite or full lunch/ brunch. Lovely staff and amazing location and atmosphere, seems very popular with the locals and tourists. Access to the toilets is by use of code once you purchase from the café. Will definitely be returning and very much recommend, very decently priced also.

Beatha teanga í a labhairt, ach, sé Anam an teanga san hungry gull (The life of the language is in speaking it, but the soul of the language is in the hungry gull. Well worth joining the queue. Staff were wonderful and so kind. The food selection was very inviting and well thought out. Daily specials offering something really interesting. Great vegan options and consideration to those who may have different dietary requirements (ie no extra charge on oat milk!) I had a white pudding and poached egg special that was just beautiful. The coffee was really well made and served in a decent sized mug, which is always appreciated. Béidh múid ar áis (We'll be back) Lé meas mór X

Looking for a simple bite after hunting for dinosaur prints. No nonsense local café next to the local store. Warm and welcoming despite the people looking to enjoy the spot too!

There weren't many options for eating out around Staffin and we were only sorry we hadn't found the Hungry Gull sooner! It's joined onto the village store and we didn't see when we went to the shop on the first day of our holiday. Very friendly service, it looked like a varied and inventive menu and as a vegetarian I was spoiled for choice! Nice bright eating area, there was alcohol on offer, and a cosy, friendly atmosphere. I had the vegetarian haggis bites - absolutely lovely, haggis is something I don't normally get to enjoy anymore since I went vegetarian. The chef isn't just paying lip service to offering vegetarian and vegan meals - they are doing it with style and with care. If / when we go back to Skye, we'll definitely be calling in at the Hungry Gull again. Marvellous.

This is an unassuming café which adjoins a local shop and forms part of a local community resource. As such is easily overlooked and easy to drive by if you don’t know its there, despite being on the main Portree road (well, we nearly missed it anyway!). Parking is ample. The cafe is spacious, the menu is varied, is vegetarian and vegan friendly, service is good and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. We only stopped for a coffee and some cake (they looked great) but got lured into lunch when we’d seen the quality of the food. Yes, we only had toasties, but they were large, tasty and filling – the special haggis and cheese toastie was a triumph! It’s a great place to stop for a relaxing drink. Judging by our experience, together with all the full tables, a great place to eat also. Recommended

By luck we road by this place and wanted to eat some lunch. It was fab, fresh food, home cooked. Great and friendly staff. Highly recommend this place.

Totally fallen for this place, the welcome was warm and friendly and the food is cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is amazing nice music in the background and the conversations of what everyone has been up to, well worth a visit if your near Staffin.

The best meal we had during our week on the island. The location is ideal as is very close to the Dino beach. The service and friendliness of the staff was top notch. Food was absolutely amazing and well priced!

Phenomenal breakfast, the beans are something else!! Thoroughly enjoyable and they even accommodated for a bacon and egg roll, not on the menu. Highly recommend, staff super friendly and very dog friendly with water and treats given. Fabulous!

Thought we'd grab a quick lunch and ended up with the best meal we've had in a week in Scotland. I can't believe I'm saying this about toasties, but they were amazing. We had both the Reuben and grilled cheese, and they were so incredibly flavorful. It's been hot this week, and this was the first time we saw iced coffee and iced Chai. The staff was great, even under-staffed and running hard. Fully recommend!

Proper home cooking made with passion and care and quite simply the best scotch eggs I ever ate. Was at a local wedding and the Hungry gull catered for the evening and a brunch the next day. Beautifully presented with hand written cards of the simply delightful choices with a smoked kedgeree standing out and the sweets also were beautifully put together and tasted divine. Staffin should be proud of this place and the staff who worked so hard and could not have been nicer. Particularly impressed with the work ethic of the young staff who went above and beyond the call of duty to make us all feel welcome . If you are passing through Staffin they are in the community hall and so very much worth a visit. Cracking cup of coffee and a good pint. Thank you all very much. Slainte

We stopped for lunch and were really impressed with the selection on offer. Lovely local selection of drinks too. Such friendly service and our four legged friends were given water and treats as soon as we sat down.

Espresso was delicious ! The food was great too ! It got very busy by lunch time so best to go a little earlier if you can. Friendly staff and good menu.

Love it here , i’m a local and i enjoy coming here , it’s friendly , you get served quickly, the menu is fantastic and the food is great

Had a super lunch for 5 yesterday. Its quite busy but the service was excellent. The food was first class. Great place to stay on the road down to Portree.

We had been driving round Skye searching for somewhere to eat lunch when we came across The Hungry Gull. Places to eat are few and far between so we weren't expecting much, just happy to have found somewhere. But oh what a treat this was!...

Whilst my partner was driving, I spotted this cafe. He turned round. They're still closed, but they let us in. It was a magic experience for me. I clicked from the very beginning. I liked the staff, the music(I asked what the playlist was, they...

Why isn’t this cafe on the top 10 lists for the Isle of Skye? The staff are lovely. Their coffees are superb and the cooked breakfasts are imaginative and fulfilling after a climb up to The Old Man of Storr and down again. It’s spacious,...

Such delicious home cooked food with an Asian flair on the menu. This place is so good, and everyone in Staffin knows it. I recently had the terriyaki tofu (so delicious), my husband had the chicken katsu burger (WOW) and the loaded haggis chips. Every...

In a secluded part of Skye this was like an oasis. Very friendly staff, great food. Quirky , relaxed environment. Burgers were amazing , a range of alcoholic & soft drinks from a fridge cabinet

A great find. We visited for a coffee and almond scone. Excellent coffee, we even bought a packet of the coffee beans they used to take home with us. They have an amazing array of cakes. We went the same day for an evening meal....

Cafe in a community hall, and then the quality of the food just blew us away. Really interesting (and scrumptious) choices for main courses, cakes to die for. All topped off with really friendly service. Five star +++

Amazing food. Staff were very kind. Wasn't expecting to find such a lovely place here but we were impressed. Lots of people came in (probably because there wasn't many other cafes around) so service became a bit slow, but we had just beat the crowd...

The perfect place to stop when in a campervan. Shop for essentials. Amazing clean toilets. Then an amazing cafe for breakfast. Cappuccino the best on the island. Great food, super friendly service, great atmosphere! Fab carrot cake to take out, and picked up some amazing...

What a wonderful wee cafe. Just stopped by for a quick drink and bit of cake, and was impressed with the variety and quality of choice, catering well for food allergies and special diets as well. Wish we had bigger appetites as would of loved...

Community run, but with really impressive food and cake options. Lots of space around and close to some key sights so useful place to have a stop.

Wow! Just... wow! We'we been there around 3 in the afternoon, they serve food until 4 (or at least this was on the menu). The food was devine!! I mean, I've been in a few pub and restaurants around Scotland, but the black pudd toaties...

Really great food, lots of i threshing choices on the menu. Staff were lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend the cakes and biscuits!

Called in while visiting the Trotternish peninsula, quite busy at lunchtime, had to wait a short while for a table, but well worth the wait - the toasted black pudding, cheese and egg sandwich was divine !

We had a great brunch here on a wee jaunt around the Trotternish. Great coffee, brilliant selection of dishes and phenomenal cake. Such a nice place to relax a little from a drive around the bonnie island. The artistic touches to the room are great...

We were lucky enough to be staying @shulistacroftwigwams who recommended this little gem, so popped in before going dinosaur footprint hunting on the nearby An Corran beach. Don't be put off by the exterior, the Hungry Gull is hidden at one end of the Staffin...

Made a special effort to go here after seeing the vegan fish and chips online, and they did not disappoint! Such a cute location in the highlands, dog friendly and lots of vegan options! Highly recommend

Fantastic brunch! We really enjoyed this stop on our way to Kilt Rock and Old Man of Storr. Coffee was fab and little supermarket right next door. Needs better advertising as didn't look anything from the outside - a real gem! The girls serving were...

We sort of stumbled across this place by mistake but loved it so much we made a point of returning again a couple of days later. Excellent friendly service and amazing tasty food - in an area with fairly limited options for eating, this is...

Closed Sunday and Monday. Does not look much from the outside but the food is amazing! Good quality ingredients, great menu and friendly staff what more could you want. Vegan and take-away options available

We loved this place - the atmosphere, the owners and the food. We had both breakfast & dinner. Great variety of vegan and vegetarian dishes. For breakfast we loved the French toast, and for dinner the chicken burger as well as the vegan tofu burger...

Stopped here after a hike and picked up some lunch! Food was so good we could have eaten here every day! Portions were huge and everything was tasty! A must stop to refuel if you’re out exploring Trotternish!

Fantastic food, some of the best we've had on our trip. Haggis loaded fries are something else. Quick easy ordering over WhatsApp. Generous portions. Fantastic all around.

Excellent lunch today. Staff were friendly and engaging. Menus were great, fantastic selection. Highly recommend a visit.

Stopped here after a hike. We enjoyed a hot, delicious meal which kept for 30 minutes on our way back to our BNB. We had the haggis burger, fish and chips, and chili chicken. Extra large portions. If we lived here, we’d be regulars.

Currently open for takeaway – Fri & Sat nights 5.30-8.30pm until 16 April 2022 (Tues-Sat from 19 April 2022). It was really easy to pre-order for takeaway via WhatsApp, it was ready to collect at the agreed time at “drive through” behind the Staffin community...

We found the mobile food van as we were passing in the rain! Such a good find, we had bacon and smoked cheese bagels, they were delicious really good quality ingredients freshly cooked for us.

We phoned our order through then drove to collect, you drive round back and then get out and pay. Food arrived quick was hot and lots of it. Proper chips too. Very nice.

To expensive and not a lot for your money. You can phone your order though if you are lucky enough to have a signal. If not you have to queue place your order and then go back.

We actually ate from the mobile van they have set-up close to the junction for the Quiraing, having been recommended to do so by a lady at a too-full cafe. What an outstanding recommendation that was too. Three vegetarians had the veg bowls, the lone...

We ordered a takeaway by phone and paid on line. All very efficient. Food was ready on time- they were obviously very busy. Food was excellent and more than adequate.

The B&B host told me about The Hungry Gull and as I’d predominantly been eating fish since I arrived in Skye I fancied a change. The menu is small but the choice immense, I found it really hard to choose but went with their curry...

Had fish and chips from Hungry Gull, very good and perfect after our long walk at the beach Warden at local campsite brought them up to us

Excellent pre-order takeaway service within the Community Hall at Staffin. We were staying nearby and the Hungry Gull was offering a takeaway only service. Pre-order by phone and pick up at pre agreed time. Collection was safe, distanced with contactless card payment. We had ribs,...
