The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

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.

Friendly staff good roll and sausage

I call it Debbie's place - you'll know it when you see it! - said several of the locals on Islay. A large group of us visiting the island had spent the morning dotted across it doing various different activities. I'd asked in the brilliant Islay Natural History Trust where locally we could grab lunch and was directed to the Bruichladdich Mini Market. The place itself is run by Debbie, her mum and her sister. It's the ort of place that is the lifeblood of islands the world over - half grocery shop, half cafe - all welcoming. Debbie's sister was in charge when a group of 15 of us rocked up unannounced. This would normally not have been a problem - plenty of outside seating - but that particular day the ferry had been cancelled, along with much of the stock for the shop and cafe. Undeterred the staff there made us feel welcome and pulled together a lunch which went down very well with all - children and adults alike. Think sandwiches and toasties with great coffee and a good choice of cold drinks. They also serve some amazing cakes - I'm told the rocky road was fab, I know the chocolate cake was! Although initially under pressure when we all turned up, the staff seated us happily and we had all eaten within about 15 minutes of arriving.

The food was absolutely disgusting no taste what so ever and the staff where very rude the man called Bartek shows no care in his food and I felt very ill a short while after consuming the meal. If ever in Campbeltown I advise not to go here as you will be very dissatisfied with there food and the price they charge for it

Very friendly local post office and shop with recent addition of a cafe. Good coffee. Had breakfast which was very good and filling. Dog friendly which is great after a walk.

Visited the island 8th- 11th August with intent to visit gardens and cafe Only open Tues and Thurs. Not on the Fri / Sat / or Sun Not very helpful for those on holiday looking for somewhere for refreshments.

Stopped here for some lunch on our way to Inver. What a treat! Lovely clean tea room. Excellent poached eggs. The staff cared and took an interest in customers. Thank you!

Grandissima selezione di whiskey raccontati dal simpaticissimo proprietario che ti fa sentire tutti i profumi e il lavoro che c’è dietro ogni goccia distillata.

We had lunch here today as the Continental was closed. We were pleasantly surprised after reading the bad reviews. I had a ham salad sandwich on granary bread. It was really substantial. Full to the brim with ham, lettuce, onion, tomato, cucumber and red pepper and only £3.80. My husband had a fish finger sandwich which contained four fish fingers in a large roll. We had a bottle of sparkling water and the total came to less than £10. Our order came in about ten minutes so the service wasn't bad at all.

This is the loveliest tea room with the friendliest staff. They were so welcoming and even offered to give my boyfriend and I a lift! Such a great place to stop for a coffee near the loch. I would love to come back here!

Staying in Campbeltown, a local person reccomended the Kintyre at Ugadale, having been to a whisky event early evening and not wishing my partner to have to drive, we initially thought it would not be possible. To then find that the hotel/restaraunt offer a mini bus sevice at our convenience from and back to town it seemed like a good idea. Picked up by a very nice chap in the mini bus, on time, agreed a t time with him for return and arrived for an 8pm booking. Excellent surroundings, decor, staff were cheerful and efficient food was superb wine was very good and not over priced, bill was more than acceptable for two excellent courses and wine. Scallops and potted shrimp starters were beautifully presented and excellent, Carolines fish was both plentiful and perfectly cooked, my fillet steak was as good as I have had anywhere and cooked perfectly. Portions meant the sweet menu was not required. Drink in the bar as we waited for the driver. He had suggested 9:30, we said 10, he was right. However beer was good and the staff delightful. (hope you enjoy the concert Chloie) A good solution if you are looking for an excellent meal in a special sort of place, wouldn't hesitate to go again even if it was just to try the fish and chip and burger options on the very varied menu.

Nice friendly local pub with lovely owners / staff and views across the golf course. They do not serve food here, only drinks.

Reasonably priced - excellent seafood - menu caters for all tastes and requirements. Let them know in advance if you have specific dietary requirements

Please please please change back to the original sag paneer recipe it was creamy, sweet and absolutely delicious. I came back here just for that only to be told that the new manager wanted the chef to change the recipe which just tasted like wet spinach with cheese cubes. I can honestly say to the new manager if you are reading this you have made a terrible decision. Other than this the staff are fantastic and the rest of the food was nice but to anyone who wants a good sag paneer don’t go here unless of course they change it back
