Great dog friendly sports bar with real ale on tap. Lovely staff.

Great food, great prices and large portions. Very quick efficient service too. Can't recommend enough.

The Indian food here was fantastic. I liked the butter chicken and the Indian breads. The desserts were also nice and tasty. Fast and friendly service.

my wife who had chicken tikka masala was disappointed. the dish was too red and far, far too sweet, unlike mine which as chicken garlic (hot) was average. when we commented on the colour (which was far too red) and sweetness, the reply was that this is what british people expect, which just isn't true. My wife regularly has chicken tikka masala, which is her favourite but could not eat this dish.

absolutely beautiful food, fantastic well organised service and great value for money. They catered for a party of 17 flawlessly. Venue was spotless and classy. We will definitely be going back there again. Thank you 😊

Terrible , cold and overpriced. Used to be quite good but will never eat from here again !! Tasted off made me sick , was cold and cost me over £40 for the pleasure. They also delete all negative feedback so this is a pointless exercise . AVOID yuk

Arrived in Kirkwall on a cruise ship. We were so looking forward to a meal other than what was served on board. We were not disappointed. We had Panang Chicken Curry with Rice, served with nann bread. Orkney Beef and Ale pie served with broccoli and peas and a generous serve of chips. Both were delicious and just what we craved. £16 each but well worth it.

This place having a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, was a nice place to enjoy our breakfast. The service was top-notch. Bacon and burgers were delicious.

Popped into this cafe this morning for a cuppa. It is a community cafe and lovely. The ladies who serve you are very friendly and helpful. Loved their coffee. It was attached to a craft exhibit so easy to access. If in Orkney be sure to pop into this cafe.

Busy kitchen on the night, by all accounts. No draught beers due to 'maintenance'? The food that myself and my partner had was fantastically underwhelming...sadly, we wanted a treat as it was our last night away. Steak and ale pie with 'seasonal vegetables', small amount of mash with handful of frozen peas/green beans. Maybe seasonal in Iceland, the shop!... Mac and cheese, surely you can't go wrong? Sadly, yes you can. Stodgy, overcooked pasta, unable to pick up a full piece and very little taste of cheese. Come on! #Serve proper veg, it's cheap. #Take less bookings if Chef is under too much pressure. #Give customers a better experience. # Quality and profit can be achieved, with a bit of thought. I'd say eat elsewhere until standards improve. A fish and chip shop would pay more attention to detail. Barman was very pleasan.

Nice find passing through Kirkwall, Gemma was a very attentive and pleasantly natured lassie.... made for a nice experience and good to meet a local who shared his thoughts and experiences 😉 I'll pop in the next time I have more time to explore Orkney...thank you!

The Chinese cuisine was very nicely prepared. The spring rolls and chicken satay starters were delicious. The staff were welcoming and friendly.

Haggis fritters were excellent.

I ate at the restaurant on 2 separate nights, on both nights my main meal was not good. The others present had very good meals however the food that I received was very substandard. The first occasion I had chicken stuffed with haggis, the chicken was dry and over cooked. On the second occasion I had Pasta Carbonara, the pasta was dry, overcooked and inedible. The sauce was tasteless and congealed. As I said my fellow diners really enjoyed there meals, however my experience was not good.
