The Nook in Dumfries & Galloway

What a great shop and seafood ‘ hut .’ I could eat here every day ! A really friendly place and the food was to die for , fresh and shortly cooked . I had the scallops . Thanks so much for a lovely lunch !!

When we read that there was no seating and when we couldn't get a telephone number to reserve, we took a picnic with us as we knew The Boathouse and the hotel were closed but what a find - the Nook! It is an upmarket fish and chip shop and the food was fabulous, tasty with a delicious range of ingredients and sauces - so good that we might go again as foot passengers on the ferry just to have another of their king prawn baps (served speedily with skill and charm!) We'll never forget it.

The published open hours on the day I was there were 2-5. I got there at 4 to be sure of getting a meal, but they had sold out. As there was nowhere else to eat on that evening, this was a huge disappointment. The owners must know that this happens, so should put it on social media, or their blackboard.

Some of the best food I've ever had, and I've travelled the world. Try the prawn bap. It's incredible We are back on Gigha next summer and heading straight to the Nook.

We stopped by the nook for some chips, as it was really the only place open on a Sunday. The staff were friendly, the menu is a bit limited if you don't like seafood like us but we're ordered chips and given a pager to tell us when they were ready. The chips were probably some of the best we have ever had, they were delicious and good sized portions, although they did seem to overcharge us, as it it should have been £3.50 for plain chips and they charged £4? It was good all the same and would definitely go back for some more!

OMG I haven’t written a review in months and had to get back onto trip adviser to praise this cool small business in a crackin spot on the Isle of Gigha…fair price and portion and best chips ever. I think they are the best chips I have ever tasted seriously. Skin on and actually cooked to perfection. Chips were fresh not greasy. Salt and vinegar tasted posher than normal chip shop quality!!! Must be the magic of the island air. Highly recommended.. Opening hours limited so be organised to go. Next time I must be the fish!

This is probably the best food I have tasted in a while. So fresh with incredible flavours. Would highly recommend the trip to Gigha just for this !!!

Five of us had a fantastic lunch, at the nook, two days running. Lovely fresh seafood prepared and served beautifully. Delicious cod goujons in a light batter accompanied by the best chips! Everyone had something different and all were fab. Can’t wait till our next visit.

The selection of fresh seafood available here was second to none and the food was really tasty, I will go back to Gigha just to get another takeaway. I got a wonderfully friendly reception and, as a cyclist, was able to top up my water at the big outside sink at the back of the place.

Great food, Crab Rarebit, very helpful staff who modified it to include my gluten free crispbreads. Great chips and salad. Really nice friendly place and well stocked shop.

The nook is always an absolute treat, but with new items on the menu we just couldn't resist trying the newly added Isle of Gigha crab rarebit. And it did not disappoint! What an absolutely stunning dish tasty, perfectly portioned and absolutely overflowing with crab meat. If you haven't tried this dish yet I highly recommend you do. The tempura squid with chilli jam came in at a very close second, the batter was delightfully crisp and seasoned to perfection. Thank you to team nook for another delicious lunch. 10/10 as always 😄

We had one of the best seafood dish at the nook. We had crispy tiger prawns bap and breaded halibet. It was properly coated and cooked golden brown. My soul was happy after having sucha tasty meal. Highly recommend. Please don't miss trying atleast one meal at the nook.

The Nook is the highlight of Gigha trips. The menu is unique, and the food always exceptional. Well done it’s brilliant x
