Now The Reef Inn. The Beachcomber has changed hands and now trades as The Reef Inn. We discovered this ourselves in June 2021 when we were looking for the Beachcomber.
The best thing to have ever happened to the Kinlochleven area. This fabulous Chinese takeaway replaced the dreadful fish and chip shop on the site. The food is unbelievable, portion sizes will ensure you have more than enough, fantastic staff and I can't truly express how helpful they are.
People are traveling from the much wider area to come to this gem and I can only say that I totally understand as it's the best Chinese takeaway I have ever been to.
We've popped in here a few times over the years for a fab ice cream coming back from Silver Sands beach.
Tonight we were hungry. We wanted fish and chips! And these fish and chips are from the Dalgety Fish Bar (below this restaurant).
The fish was really good. The chips? We're still searching for crispy, golden brown chips - and requested them specially. Nobody seems to know what this means!
So no golden chips.
But a beautiful piece of fish made up for it. The tartar sauce and curry sauce (probably pre-packaged?) were very good.
The star of the show (on top of the fab gelato!) was the server, Jody.
Happy, helpful, very welcoming and a great server, too.
She's a real gem!
Definitely worth a visit. And there's a beautiful view of the Forth, too.
We’ve visited Sounds Bites twice during our week in Camusdarrach.
The cafe is independently owned and is the perfect place to stop in and refuel!
We were made to feel so welcome by the team, nothing was too much trouble. Our little dog enjoyed his prime position at the upstairs window, watching the street below.
We enjoyed soup, toasties and lattes! The lentil soup was truly delicious - I wish I could make soup like it!
If you are in Arisaig, stop by and try it, you won’t be disappointed!
The staff were very rude, the food was terrible and some of it unedible. i went there with a couple friends and there was a buzzing of flies around, the sausages tasted frozen and not fresh produce. The floors were unclean and the bathroom was unsanitary, as a visitor to stranraer this was recommended but i will not recommend anyone eating here as it has ruined my afternoon. There is alot of dust and its generally looked unkempt. i feel like i have wasted my money paying for a meal i couldnt finish
We were looking a place for dinner and luckely we found this restaurant. We were sitting next to the fire with a drink while choosing our meals - lovely. The meals we got offered were great! Well prepared, special in combination and from high quality. The friendly staff and the performance of the chef can be assessed only as very very good.
Nicely decorated restaurant, serves food until 10pm. The staff is nice, but the service is quite slow. The fish and chips was very bad, the frozen fish was hard to chew. A bit expensive when compared to other places. The Mexican food, on the contrary, was tasty and well cooked.
5 stars. Amazing baguels, best ever.!! Coffee is Beautiful and staff 5 stars. Better than Bros baguels. Well worth a visit to Byers road. Truly recommend. Xx ❤️❤️🎅
Bit disappointed . Lovely wee cafe at the Dam . Outside very disappointing, could be prettier, add some imagination. Tubs with flowers. , tidy the weeds, get some better outside seating. Not the best impression. Wouldn't take much work or money. Coffee great , biscoff cake , very dry, very dry. Great wee place, could be soooo much better. Try a wee bit harder
Just visited this lovely pub/restaurant with friends who live locally. Rob & Ang made us feel so welcome. The food was excellent, highly recommend this place to go
The freshly baked muffins are huge and utterly delicious. They also have a wide range of syrups for flavoured coffees as well as other hot and cold drinks. There’s a god selection of sandwiches, wraps, panini, etc as well as a few other cakes. The service is good, though it can get very busy - a testament to how good it is.
Our sons wedding was held here in April 2025. What an amazing venue for an amazing day! Everything was perfect from start to finish. Rooms were immaculate, carpets spotless. The views were outstanding. Meal was very good with some tasty vegetarian options (not just salad!) DJ for the evening entertainment was also very good and kept the party going. Only comment I would make is that it would have been good for the master of ceremonies to tell us when the meal was expected, and that there was an audio phone instead of a book for people to send their good wishes. The lady in the morning who delivered breakfast was wonderful - couldn't do enough for you. Unfortunately I didn't get her name, but she is indeed an asset to the company. Would highly recommend.
