The best restaurants serving British food in Highlands and Islands

Abbiamo cercato un posto per cenare vicino a dove alloggiavamo che avesse opzioni senza glutine e abbiamo trovato un locale molto piacevole con un menù originale e ampio, e non scontato, con competenza sul senza glutine. Il personale cortese e attento ha piacevolmente coronato la nostra esperienza della serata.

A lovely spot. Came in on a chilly January day for lunch with my wife and little 6 month old daughter. Welcomed warmly and a high chair was put out for her and a space by the fire. Warmed up with some lovely Cullen Skink. So loved it we returned the next night for our final dinner. Had fabulous crispy monkfish and my wife the classic haddock and chips. Followed with a cheeky apple crumble to share. Just lovely. The way pub food should be. The staff though could not have been lovelier. True Highland hospitality

Nice casual dining in a beautiful setting overlooking the marina and Loch Lomond. Great for kids and friendly staff.

Went into the Gathering for a couple of drinks after being out walking all day. The bar man was quite rude and came across as though he did not want to be there. I went to get a second drink, stood waiting at the bar for over 5 minutes and no one came to serve me, went into the cafe part and asked for a server to come down, bearing in mind the cafe was empty, waited another 5 minutes before deciding to leave and go elsewhere. On leaving, the bar man was standing outside. I did say I would have stayed longer had there been someone available to serve me, and got various excuses from him - its out of season, he's the only one working, he had to restock etc etc. Very poor and would expect better!

Me he registrado en la posada principal durante 3 noches para averiguar que el beefeater está cerrado para la comida y bebida porque todo el personal ha salido debido a que pronto se abrirá allí propio en casa restaurante Tomillo así que solo hay personal allí por la mañana para cocinar el desayuno ... sin embargo, no hay nada en el sitio web sobre que está cerrado ! ! ! ! Me hubiera gustado reservar en otro hotel si hubiera sabido 🙈🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

We went for a drink and to check it out for a meal another day. Drinks were the most expensive we bought on Skye (£9.90 for a pint and a half of cask ale) and sadly weren't that great I'm sorry to say. Location is lovely but we didn't return to dine.

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.

Locale addocchiato al nostro arrivo ad Ullapool . Non accettavano prenotazioni , ma recandoci direttamente sul posto un tavolo lo abbiamo trovato . Il ristorante e' gestito da tre simpatiche signore e , per la media culinaria scozzese , abbiamo mangiato proprio bene . Ottima anche la musica in sottofondo ...

Went twice. Am allergic to onions so asked about a side salaa, to leave it oit because it had onions. First time brilliant, with a young waitress, was offered chips instead. Second time this was just forgotten by the waiter and also lost garlic bread because it sat on top of the salad with onions..where it's not meant to be anyway. So smaller dish for me although to be honest the garlic bread was awful, spongy on the first night and dry and hard on the other. Partner took chicken tikka Masala which was also a bit weird with odd small naan bread... This was definitely too little and too sloppy for over 30 pounds with drinks, have a feeling it's just microwaved. They really should not be allowed to ask for tips beforehand when you pay on ordering in these kinds of places. So not deserved on the second time. Never again.

Food was good enough, very basic menu and unfortunately the restaurant was shut which I was gutted about as the menu looked fantastic. Only had a takeaway menu available which was mostly frozen food, also is to be expected seeing as you’re in the middle of nowhere! Staff were lovely, very on the ball. Drinks were well priced.

An excellent traditional afternoon tea. I was with a group of 28. The food was well presented and the selection was varied enough to cater for all tastes. I filled a box with a selection of cakes, which I enjoyed on a long train journey the next day.

We booked the Hogmanay dinner here- there were 8 of us that travelled from London to be here. We first of all arrived at 6:30 when the champagne reception was supposed to start to walk in with no welcome, staff running everywhere shouting at each other. We made our way in to the dining room to find everyone already seated- apparantly they had changed the time but not let anyone know. On our table we only had 3 bread rolls- asked for more- then told they had run out! This was the start of things to come. We waited until after 8 for our starter to appear. This was fine. One if the children in our group has severe allergies which I gave details of before our arrival which was completely ignored and he ended up with no food!! This is a small child who we were assured would be catered for. I think went into my banking to find they had charged my card that I originally gave the deposit for -which I had not authorised them to take the payment for. Whereby they had overcharged me by £100- I am still waiting on this money being refunded!!! We then waited over 2 hours!!!! for our main course to arrive- again the child with allergies had not been catered for- it ended up so late where he was so hungry he had to leave. During this time was asked on multiple occasions if the food for the children could be brought out. We were the last table to be served. The band was supposed to start at 9:30- this never happened- we stayed until 11:15 then left- it was just shambolic. Some staff were trying to help. Other staff were being rude - especially the 'manager'. Again we were promised a refund which she showed me on the computer as being processed but never came. This could have been such a lovely venue- completely let down by incompetent staff/management. They are now ignoring my emails and not answering calls- despite having stolen my money without authorisation- I am going to take this further.

WOW!!! WHAT CAN I SAY? myself, my wife and her father have just had fish and chips each. That was the best fish and chips we've eaten in years!!! Crispy batter, good size fish, delicious chips and peas. We each enjoyed our meal. If you're in the area, make a booking and have a fantastic tasting meal. Genuinely, I loved my meal. Thank you so much for our tasty meals. It's been a pleasure relaxing here.

We often go here for a carvery meal, and have always enjoyed the food. However we went for a choice of the menu for a special occasion my 70th Birthday. We went for chargrilled sirloin steak what a let down, Every thing on the plate was under cooked. Very disappointed. Would never again order from menu, stick to the carvery from now on.

El pescado estaba bien. Pero las patatas fritas eran basura y parecían sobras de ayer y se calentaron varias veces.
