Wonderful pub - delicious food, beautiful views, atmospheric and with amazing staff. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!
Best grilled langoustines and sticky toffee pudding on this trip! Unassuming from the outside but food was sooo good and reasonably priced. One of our best meals and certainly best value for money
The lamb shank is delicious.The beer is delicious and not expensive. The guests may need to wait to be seated at certain time.Don’t forget to order food at the bar.
This pub sells really big plates of really nice food at a very reasonable cost. We arrived at 6pm and got a table straight away. The pub started filling up at about 6.30pm and by 7pm was full. It was a noisy atmosphere once full. Lovely views out to the bridge to Skye.
Great bar and tasty food, busy with locals and tourists so a good mix
I enjoyed the pan fried chicken breast tonight, absolutely delicious. My husband had the fried chicken burger, he enjoyed that too. The fries are excellent and the coleslaw is tasty (of course I stole a couple of fries and a mouthful of slaw!) Loads of beers on tap, snooker table too! Gorgeous views of the water. Highly recommend!
Outstanding food and the best fish & chips so far in the UK. Generous servings, a diverse menu, vegan and veg options and an extraordinary dessert menu. Aside from the food, parking, sea views and great local people, the staff really make the difference. Friendly, helpful, and super accommodating for a group of six. Can't recommend enough!
The two girls behind the bar made our first night from Australia very welcoming! They made our first time here very pleasurable . It’s joy to watch them work so hard with a smile on there face... & pour a bloody good pint!!!
