The Port Askaig Restaurant in Argyll & Bute

We just wanted a light lunch before the ferry journey. We ordered BBQ chicken wraps with salad. What we got was 2 very small curried chicken wraps with a garnish not a salad. Inedible for me as I don't eat curry, my partner ate both which was equivalent to a normal pub lunch wrap. At over £30.00 a total rip off. They have a monopoly as there is nowhere else to eat nearby.

Stopped in for lunch before our ferry. I enjoyed the dated decor - a blast from the past! Food was very poor for the price - Cullen skink was tasteless, scampi and chips was likely from frozen.

Another disappointing and not cheap meal on Islay. My companion's fish and chips were OK. My wild mushrooms on crusty bread was a large bowl of mixed but definitely not wild mushrooms that were almost entirely unseasoned and sitting on a slice of white sliced toast that was both a bit burnt and so soggy it was almost mush. The bar has tacky, 1970s style decor and feels badly in need of updating. Decent local beers and a good view of the harbour from the beer garden. Friendly staff and a well located pub if you're catching the ferry but not too much else to recommend. it.

We hebben hier diverse keren gegeten en gedronken. Wat een gastvrijheid. Ook blijkt maar weer eens dat vriendelijkheid niets “ extra’s “ kost. Marian and Ian zijn zijn op en top gastvrouw en heer. Ook hebben we een seafoodplatter genuttigd. Verser dan vers, waanzinnig lekker, en veel! Deze locatie moet je zeker bezoeken, It’s an absolute “YES”

This was the only place we could find food when we got off the ferry last week. The scallops were incredible and totally worth every penny. The langoustines were not tasty and were a disappointment. The hosts were super nice and friendly. I think we were early in the season so the place didn’t seem ready. The bathroom was smelly and the dining rooms were still being prepared. In retrospect we should have had dinner in the ferry or brought our own food / planned to spend the night in Bowmore.

Went to get burgers before the ferry was leaving - thought that this is better than the fish and chips at the ferry. Fries were decent, burger was dry and overcooked. Is it the lack of competition or ambition that leads to serving food of such bad quality? Toilets were filthy, the bar/restaurant area was not clean either.

We stopped in for lunch on the way to the ferry. Unfortunately other options on route were closed so only place left for us to eat. Went into the hotel/restaurant to be met by an unfriendly welcome and abruptly told it was easier for them if we ate in the bar. Ordered drinks despite feeling a complete nuisance, server behind the bar made us feel unwelcome throughout, seemed to have selective friendliness as pleasant to others (not all). The snug bar was dated, smelly and in need of a good clean. Weird 70’s memorabilia. Mens toilet in desperate need of a refit, women’s not so bad. Burgers were dry as the sole of your shoe, served on buns which were not brioche as advertised, served with a sad looking salad. Cullen skink was tasty. Fish and chips - the fish was dry, bony and tasteless in parts. Glad to get out of there. Would not recommend.

If cleanliness is important to you then avoid this hotel . Apart from being old and dated, it is extremely dirty and badly maintained with broken furniture, door handles that come off in your hand not to mention blocked shower drains in the two rooms that I tried. My bed was presented with dirty previously used sheets and a filthy mattress cover. The carpets in communal areas as well as in the bedroom were extremely dirty and my en-suite bathroom had mould around shower tray, basin, toilet and ceiling as well as extremely worn lino. Don’t be fooled by the pictures on the website as the reality is very very different if only I could share mine to prove. The cost is also extremely high simply because the hotel is convenient for the ferry port and without any other hotel close by.

Great food, we had the haddock and the scampi, cooked to perfection and served with a very unorthodox cut of chips, apple corer cut? Excellent homemade tartare sauce, I’m not usually a fan but I tried it, and scoffed the lot, quite exceptional. Washed it down with lager from the bar and a couple of drams. Be guided by the proprietor in all matters pertaining to malt whisky, she is a star and a fountain of valuable local knowledge. Locals are very friendly and can take ‘up for a laugh’ to the next level.

When we booked a table we were told that a coach party was staying so we could only eat in the bar, not the restaurant but went ahead. I wish we hadn't bothered. On arrival it wasn't helpful to find the bar was full of the members of said coach. No member of staff was around to advise. We were seated in another bar which I didn't find at all comfortable as the tables were too low to eat from. The reason for choosing the restaurant had been the advertised port to plate menu. Sadly they had no seafood; either the boat hadn't come in or the coach party had ordered langoustines, mussels, crab and scallops. We paid £9.00 for liver parfait, £7.00 for cullen skink, £15 for fish and chips and £12 for a burger. Had this been a restaurant with a sea view and attentive staff it might have been worth it. When a member of staff managed to break off from the party we paid and left. Disappointing visit.

Had dinner here on a Sunday evening. Friendly and helpful staff and ambience. We had venison which was cooked as we ordered and was very tasty. Food for other diners looked well presented and everyone seemed pleased with their meals. Would definitely recommend

Seven of us did very nicely here, thank you, the battered fish in particular was perfectly cooked. Best to book: as with a lot of hospitality businesses, they are struggling for staff, although the service was still good.

Warm welcome and great food. Staying locally and wanted to eat locally. Was not disappointed. We were made to feel welcome (first name terms based on our booking). Although COVID restrictions were in place with screens between tables, it was still friendly. Lovely meals - hand-dived scallops as a starter and chicken pakora, followed by curry of the day (hubby said it was fab) and scampi and chips for the rest. Large portions, so remember this if you want pudding (which I would recommend too). Overall - lovely welcome, accommodating, and great (large portioned) food.

I arrived in Port Askaig, a couple of hours before the ferry departure time. Great friendly staff, great food and good coffee. Have a cold drink or two in the beer garden, and enjoy great views of the Jura ferry and the Paps of Jura.

Stopped here for drinks before the ferry back to the mainland. I walked into snug bar to order a gin and was told I was in the wrong bar and should walk out the door, turn left and left again to the main bar. I would then be able to see the gins available. I did so - there was no-one else there. How bizarre though - surely the staff member knew the gins available! The interaction was frosty rather than welcoming. Having read the reviews, it looks like this is a recurring theme. Shame. They have a captive audience with ferry travellers so should try harder to be warm and welcoming

Visited the snug bar yesterday and it is by far the best snug bar in the world, very very cosy and I think the phrase “snug as a bug in a rug in a pub” was used a couple of time, local boy playing the guitar topped the day off

Much better grub than you will get on the ferry to the mainland We both had steak pie and veg - all good quality esp the veg - no Scottish mush hereWe were there twice - once for a drink and once for dinner Service was good but a little lacking on the jollity front - nice people just need to show it more - be more open and friendly

We last ate here in 2019 and to be honest weren't in a hurry to return, but stopped in a for a meal before catching the ferry. I'm delighted to say that the quality of the food has improved immensely. Decent sized portions of piping hot deliciousness served quickly by a friendly member of staff.

We went in here while waiting for the ferry. The hotel itself is rather quaint, which adds to it's character. They have a good menu, particularly the seafood, and the food was good and reasonably priced. The menu is outside on a board, so take a picture or note what you want, and order inside.

This hotel has a lovely setting and looks across the sea to JuraWe stopped for a coffee and the service we received was very poorThe member of staff was rude and unfriendly. In addition she wasn't wearing a mask while she was behind the bar. This was the only time we experienced such a blatant disregard of good practice during our visit to Islay

This hotel is part of a harbour-side complex run by the same people: hotel, shop and self-catering property. They have a sizeable garden with outdoor seating. The views are lovely, looking out over Islay Sound.We popped in for a coffee. Their coffee machine was out of operation but they rallied around and provided us coffees anyhow. That was adequate. Friendly service at a decent speedWe visited during covid and they seemed to have adequate protections in place

We went early evening with kids. It's reduced tables because of Covid. The food was great... lobster was fantastic, and kids all ate their meals - which were good quality, not frozen. Good value and great setting too. Would recommend

Gorgeous location - average food - unfriendly owner(lady)Me and my partner were sitting in for a pre-ferry meal at the restaurant but from the moment we entered the premises, the owner was not friendly. She did not make us feel welcome and was very unhelpful. We felt like we were intruding there.We were waiting a very long time for the food, too. When the food finally arrived, it was very average and overpriced the the quality of it.I would reccomend this place for convenience of getting the Askaig ferry and for the gorgeous view of the port from the garden. I would save your money for food elsewhere.

If you have to catch the ferry and need a bite in a hurry, thiis is a great place. Food was decent, Courteous staff, and cosy ambience.

It may have its original interior but the staff are welcoming and the food was great, best tartare sauce I have had in a long time.

I had dinner here earlier this year, while I waited for my ferry back to the mainland. The food is cooked to order and is very, very good, and the portions are massive. I had the haddock, and struggled to finish it. The restaurant is part of the Port Askaig hotel, which sits at the ferry terminal, and is so full of character. The lounge bar/restaurant is heated by a log burner, and the 2 little westie dogs, Bonny and Rory (not sure if the spelling is correct) are so cute. I wouldn't look past this place for wholesome home cooked food whilst on the northern part of the island.

Il y a pas un grand choix mais c’est très bon. Un peu paniqué à la commande car nous annonçons des allergies mais tout s’est très bien passé. Le bar à whisky à côté est un plus, il y a un joli choix.

Our taxi driver took us here in between distillery tours. We grabbed some fish & chips and a dram of Port Askaig. It was delicious pub food. The weather was nice and we were able to sit outside and enjoy the views of Jura. As we had other tours booked, we mentioned our time constraints and the food arrived within 10-12 minutes. Great service.

Nice old restaurant where you can always get a good hot or cold meal. I have eaten here a few times.

Local seafood, local malts and local peuple. It’s true. Seafood and soup are so good. Fish and chips too. Local bêtes. And a lot of kindness, welcome and service.

Tripadvisor is a bit confusing, as this restaurant is part of the hotel. There is also a 'snug' with four tables, and a bar. The restaurant was quiet on the night we went, me and my partner both had fish dishes. These were both good and the scallops were presented excellently. We actually got charged less than the menu stated.We went in the bar afterwards, this has a good atmosphere and lots of whiskys, beers on offer. Some of the hotel guests were eating in the bar and I would recommend that to others - think it was the same menu.

A great location and a delightfully eccentric establishment. We were hosted by a very hospitable, hard working and dry humoured young waiter and a rather less than friendly older lady. The fish soup ( or Skullen Kink) was wonderfully tasty.

One of the first building you see as you alight from the ferry - went for lunch and drinks on our way home and lucky to get a seat in the gardens which overlook Jura. Food was amazing best fish and chips and prawns - served by friendly staff. Reasonably priced and just the ticket - would definitely go back again

Went here as we were camping up the hill. Girlfriend had lamb that was very good, mine was alright. Service a little slow, the seemed to get distracted quite a bit. Great location/view from garden

Accueil excellent et joyeux dans cet établissement authentique.

We went to the Bar at Ballygrant Inn, and were told there was no food. A kind person drove us to Port Askaig and waited to see that we would be able to get dinner. Good food and drink, and great conversation. Made us feel welcome.

Excellent food served with no fuss. Dinner one night in the snug. Menu was still under discussion at 5.50pm.Menu issued at 6pm with the order taken at the same time. Food served at 6.15pm. Beautifully cooked cod and chips. What more do you need ?! Recommended.

Short staffed but courteous. When we eventually got our food it was very nice. Apparently when people are kept waiting they are more appreciative!!

最低のレストランです。全然混んでいないのに、サンドイッチに1時間以上かかるところです。しかも、後に頼んだ客には同じ料理を先に出し、私たちには催促するまで出さない。なんでサンドイッチにそんなに時間がかかるのか聞いたら、ツナを丁寧に作っているからだと。アジア人を舐めきっている人種差別者レストランです。This restaurant is rubbish. I never recommend it. When I visited it, it was just after a new chef joined it. I think it was true and didn't mind that it served nothing but a soup and sandwiches. What irritated me was that it took more than an hour to serve a soup and sandwiches without telling me any update. The restaurant was not crowded at all. There was only two other guest there. On top of that, they served the same soup and sandwiches to other guest who ordered after I did. I asked a member of staff why it took long time to serve even a soup and sandwiches and a staff answered that it was because the new chef was cooking the sandwiches carefully. How ridiculous. Then I got angry and shouted to them to cook asap and they served within 10 minutes. I am sure that they intentionally ignored my order and left me and my friend alone for more than an hour. This restaurant is nasty and rubbish. I wonder what excuse they could do if they would look at my comment.

Margaret at Kilmeny B and B suggested this place and we liked it so much we went back a second time in just three days. Very cordial staff and delicious meal, especially the salmon.

Some great local food, served with a lot of smiles by very warm and welcoming staff. Perfect place for your simple but good and efficient dinner on Islay.

La carte des plats est simple mais les portions sont copieuses et la cuisine est très bonne. L'accueil est incroyablement chaleureux.

Our ferry was delayed and we had a great dinner a couple of drams to pass the time. The menu is above average for a pub and the staff were real local characters.

Both very warm and cozy. The Pub is saturated with many signs charged with good humor and the atmosphere very welcoming. A great variety of beer and whiskeys, and an excellent Cappuccino to wake up and continue your trip.

Surprisingly good specials of the day. Curry chicken was great. We are at the bar and enjoyed the quiet and cozy atmosphere. Bar tenders were nice and helpful.

We stayed at the Port Askaig hotel during our trip to Islay. During that time we had a couple meals at the restaurant which were superb. The owners are incredibly nice and great company. Make sure to stop by the bar for a dram or two and say hi to the multitude of regulars who frequent the place.

The decor is charming for a whisky lover but unfortunately the food isn’t great and is rather expensive for what you get. £15/16 for a really small pretty average salmon dish?

simple mais de qualité et copieux. Les desserts sont très réussis le Triffle de framboises par ex ou le gateau au chocolat noir

We stopped in for lunch and were blown away by just how terrible the food here is. The chicken was stale and hard, the burger mince was a store-bought frozen patty and the salad was old and inedible. The only saving grace this place had was the lovely young man who served us - and perhaps the acceptable chips. An expensive and inedible meal - just get chips if you must eat here.

Like a lot of people, we called in here before boarding our ferry home. The building is very cosy and feels a great place to eat and drink. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is also a shop attached where goods can be purchased, and they were!

We ate at the restaurant today and it was wonderful,we were sat outside in front of the restaurant and got a good look as others meals, all of which looked amazing.

Visited here whilst out and about on Islay. We stopped here for a light lunch.. and it did not disappoint. Wonderfull heart bowl of soup with bread and butter. The staff were very friendly and up for a "craic" .. Would I eat here again.. absolutely yes.

We were super happy to find this cosy, simple and authentic-looking place in the tiny village of Port Askaig. Nice beers, good whisky selection, affordable and tasty food and seafood at any time of the day. We thought being the only restaurant in the area, they could charge more for beer and food but they don't, which we appreciate very much. Very nice service as well. We definitely recommend! Thank you!

Reasonable food at reasonable prices. Right across from the ferry terminal so a good place to eat if arriving on the late ferry or for a quick lunch.

cuisine locale et fraiche, grans choix de bières et whisky un petit coup avant de reprendre le ferry ;)

Hier fühlt man sich sofort wohl, da Inhaberin und personal ausgesprochen freundlich und entgegenkommend sind.

Great food, we ate the scallops that had just come from the fisherman. A fish and ships that hit the most. All this in a room where time has stood still for a long time. A lovely experience. Perfect location right at the terminal. We remember this for a long time.

The worst meal I had while I was on Islay! There were 2 of of us for lunch and both meals were terrible. Fish and chips greasy the soup was watery and bland the bread was Burned.

Went today for a family lunch before the ferry and can't say a bad word about the place. My Crab sandwich was delicious, and everyone else loved their food. A proper little cosy island pub with a lovely owner. We'll be back

I can see why this place get's unfavorable reviews. Family run or not, maintenance needs doing and nothing stops the owners tidying things up, especially out the back of the place. We ate outside and the table there are one step away from collapsing and...

No frills meal for six in the bar as we had our dog with us. Excellent range at lunchtime. That said, as we were out in the evening, we all opted for sandwiches. All were excellent and the crab was superb. The usual array of...

Good vegetarian options with friendly staff. A range of local ales available. Music and banter with the locals on a Friday night. We were kindly offered a lift back to our hotel by a barmaid.

We had our lunch here while on holiday in Islay. We'd eaten out at few places over the week and we all agreed this was the best lunch we'd had. We are a family of 4 - mum, dad and 2 teenagers. All happy. I...

Paramos en Port Askaig a investigar. El bar era agradable y vendieron una buena variedad de Islay ales en botellas. Espacio exterior.

Hemos estado en el bar para tener una cena antes de coger el último ferry. Gente muy agradable y amable que trabajaba allí. Queso de cabra y crema de sopa de champiñones eran realmente buenos.

Nos dimos un paseo en coche por el puerto para ver la lancha askaig, así que tuve que parar y disfrutar de las vistas desde la zona de asientos al aire libre. Personal muy amable y una buena selección de bebidas.

Nos alojamos en el hotel por 6 noches en el whisky Festival Ile (Feis) y a pesar de la decoración es un poco cansado, tuve una maravillosa estancia en este hotel. Los propietarios, Marion y Iain, era muy amable y servicial y nada era demasiado problema para ellos.

My husband had the seafood platter, and I had the basil sole. The morning breakfast is hearty. The haddock for breakfast is especially good.

Stopped for a spot of lunch while checking out the ferry to Jura. Friendly welcome in the Snug Bar. Soup and sandwich were fine. If I'm honest the Cullen Skink was too creamy for me but I know from other reviewers,people love it. The snug is cozy but in need of some updating.

Nödrestaurang som ligger precis vid färjeläget. Otrevligt bemötande, dunkla och slitna lokaler och tråkig mat.

Visited bar whilst waiting for Ferry back toMainland. Food as you may expect from a local pub at lunch time. I had the open steak and mushroom sandwich, partner had burger- fairly priced for fare.Large varied and informative beer/ ale menu which excellent descriptions to support choice.Free wifi with password clearly advertised defo bonus as signal very patchy on this side of the island

This quaint and welcoming bar and restaraunt had a fantastic scotch selection and features a couple of local gins. The Botanist is available in Canada, therefore I'm guessing the distribution is wide. It is a nice gin. I really enjoyed Lussa which is an independent, local operation. Wish I could get it at home.We ordered the seafood plates at about £30 each. Everything was very fresh and tasty. The plate included scallops, langoustines, lobster, crab, salad and bread to sop up the buttery juices. A mealI won't forget! Many thanks to Marion and Iain!

Ristorantino di fronte al ferry del traghetto per Jura. Ambiente non particolarmente bello ma piatti abbondanti di frutti di mare e personale cortese. Il piatto misto con granchi, aragoste e capesante è da provare!

Situato proprio di fianco al porto, il ristorante-pub-hotel offre principalmente piatti di pesce e specialità scozzesi. Abbiamo mangiato qui sia a pranzo che a cena, rimanendo soddisfatti in entrambi i casi! Io ho mangiato esclusivamente piatti di pesce, ottima la zuppa tipica chiamata Cullen Skink cosi come i filetti affumicati di salmone e maccarello!Servizio ospitale e cortese, prezzi adeguati....decisamente consigliato!!!

We had time to kill before getting the return ferry so called in for lunch. The restaurant was busy serving Sunday lunches. The pub was cosy but we were seated in a separate room at the very back of the pub on our own. The menu was good and varied. We chose the steak pie and a starter portion of the langoustines. The langoustines were delicious and very fresh. The steak pie was tasty. The staff could have been friendlier but perhaps they were under pressure as it was busy.

Had a nice lunch here on a wet and very busy Monday. I had lovely fresh scallops in the shell with lots of garlic butter and very nice bread. My wife had cullen skink which was equally as good.

We had lunch at the restaurant before taking the ferry (only option in Port Askaig anyway). We ate burgers on the tables in the garden, it was nice to eat outside in the sun rather than inside the pub which is quite dark... The food was ok, I'd say average pub food. The service was average, nothing exceptional. The price was a little high for the quality (like anywhere on Islay I suppose).

Restaurant was able to accommodate our large group of 11 for dinner before we caught our ferry. Good pub food, friendly service.

Wir waren während unseres Aufenthaltes zwei Mal im Restaurant essen. Das zweite Mal aber eher weil wir keine Wahl hatten und spät von der Fähre von Jura her kamen. Wir hatten beide Male die gleiche Erfahrung gemacht. Das Ambiente hat uns gut gefallen, das essen war ok aber die Bedienung war sehr unfreundlich. Die Chefin zeigte sich total genervt wenn man beispielsweise einen Salat bei einer Speise weglassen wollte oder ähnliches. Um Gastfreundlich bedient zu werden empfehle ich andere Lokalitäten.

We were committed to eating at this hotel as it was at the port. I should have realised when I arrived and walked round to the back of the building what to expect. It had been recommended by our B&B so I assumed it would be OK.It was terrible. A very poor quality meal in a restaurant with no ambience. Waiting staff did not have a clue.

Stopped for a meal prior to catching the return ferry to Kennacraig. Honey and Cajun chicken was around £13 with Mac and cheese for £10 add on a pint of lager and a lager shandy and you're over £30. A wee bit expensive for frozen chips and oily salad which was over dressed. Waitress was friendly enough though.

Sind immer hier essen, wenn wir auf Islay sind. Authentisch, frisch, ohne Schnickschnack gutes Essen, Riesenportionen, nette Leute, Ausblicke zum Schwärmen und das wohl frischeste Seafood, was man bekommen kann.

We were staying near by and had dinner in the snug bar. Good food and dronks inthe snug bar. Lovely staff and nice ambience.

The couple who runs this place are so nice and welcoming. They allowed me to camp in their back garden because I was on a wild camping tour from one Isle to the next. I had a couple of whiskies and dinner at their restaurant and it was class. The bar is really cozy and stuffed with empty whisky bottles and boxes from all over Islay. The food was simple but tasted great. When I came back from Jura I popped back in for a quick breakfast (unannounced and a little early I am afraid) but their where so lovely, opened the restaurant for me and my friend and got us an extremely good breakfast.Next time I am on Islay I will come to stay at the hotel and sleep in a bed!Thank you for everything!

Situado en el puerto, vistas excepcionales. Comedor con vistas. Servicio correcto, tipo pub. Comida pescado, marisco excelente. Carta vinos correcta. Precio calidad aceptable. Aconsejable.

The setting overlooking the Paps of Jura and the comings and goings of ferries is delightful. Food is OK - cullen skink and pate were good starers; chicken curry was Ok as were (slightly undercooked) langoustines; steak pie was a little disappointing with a ,mushy lower layer of pastry and chunks of beef swimming in a thin and flavourless gravy/sauce. Young bar/waiting staff worked hard but the whole place seemed unprepared for a busy Saturday lunchtime.

Leider hat dieses Restaurant unsere Erwartungen nicht erfüllt. Es gab keinen frischen Fisch, das Surf&Turf bestand aus einem Shrimp und einem Schweinesteak. Preise dafür deutlich überzogen

Accueil parfait, décoration qui vous plonge dans l'ambiance de ce petit port, des prix tout à fait raisonnables, et des repas très bons... La halte obligatoire en repartant d'Islay!

Nowhere else to go if you are waiting for the ferry. Service was friendly and a fairly comprehensive menu. I had the skullen skink soup which was delicious, also had a sandwich which was very average.

We ate here tonight, in the pub rather than the restaurant, though the menu is the same.You might not think it from the atmosphere - it was very much a pub (people were playing darts, and the TV was on, as was the music), but the food was great.My wife and I both had the steak and ale pie, served with vegetables and chips, and flaky pastry. It was very tasty - the meat was very good (not fatty or chewy - good cuts of beef), as was the pastry.Simple pub food, but very, very well done.

Great place to eat while waiting for the ferry. We ate in the dog friendly bar (as we had 3 with us!) and ordered the cullen skink and pint of langoustine tails. Both were excellent value for money, good sized portions, hand cut chips, tasty and hearty food in friendly surroundings. Would definitely recommend this place.

Un bar fantastique et une ambiance digne d'un autre monde... Excellent accueil et grand moment de plaisirs. A ne pas louper

Nice atmosphere, but I would urge the staff to handle the post-ferry-arrival rush better (there were clear, audible issues between the staff due to lots of customers arriving - hardly a surprise as the ferry schedule is a known event). However a lovely but pricey meal.

Situated right off the ferry terminal, the Port Askaig restaurant may not look like much but the seafood is excellent. There is also a bar which is, of course, well stocked with whisky.

After a day out on Jura, I decided we would have an evening meal here having checked out the menu and prices a couple of days before. On a small island, you would expect good food to be cheap but reasonable. As a family, we had various meals. Haggis, neeps & tatties was served with a whisky sauce which my 16 yr son had and enjoyed, I can verify it was good! My wife and I had fish and chips which was deliciously fresh and batter was just right. My daughter had a chicken fillet braised in honey which she really enjoyed and her boyfriend had a proper burger with chips which filled him up too! Much better value than a meal we had elsewhere on Islay earlier in the week. We had our meal in the 'Snug Bar' but they also have another cosy little bar plus a restaurant. Islay Ales too which taste good, I would recommend this place to anyone!

Åt lunch i pubdelen som såg ut så som man föreställt sig att en pub ser ut.Vi tog båda en Krabbmacka då vi inte fick så bra bemötande av bartenden från öst utan fick mer en meny framslängd.Krabbmackan vi fick var dock en riktig fullträff som var väl värt besöket.

After a day trip to Colonsay we stopped here for an evening meal and had a very pleasant experience. We had stopped off for a drink on the Monday after spending the day on Jura and found the place really busy. On the Tuesday we visited Caol Isla and Bhunahabhain and stopped off for another drink only to find it really quiet and were pleasantly surprised to get a table in the gardens with their utterly gorgeous view of Jura.So on the next day coming back from a day trip to Colonsay we decided to eat there and we were not disappointed. Again the place was jumping with people waiting for the later Jura ferry and some of them were wondering if they would have time to eat before the fery left but they were told yes and I can guarantee that they were all fed before they left.We wondered if this might delay our meals but not in the slightest. We were served without an excess wait and whilst only having the fish and chips we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The food is excellent, the view from the gardens is simply to die for. Do not pass this place by.

Poor service although staff were friendly. Atmosphere not very pleasant. Food over priced and not very good. We would not go back.

We were on our way home from Islay and needed a meal before getting on the ferry. We all had the main course Cullen Skink and what a good decision that was! Best I have tasted in a while. The bar was cosy, the landlady and staff friendly, so all in all a lovely end to our time on Islay.

While waiting for the Ferry we had lunch here and it was good home cooked food. Thanks to Elaine :-)
