Bookings are Advised and much Appreciated
[closed Mondays & Tuesdays all day, Wednesday lunchtimes & Sunday evenings];
During November - February & "closed" times we are Open by Mutual Arrangement Only.
OUR ETHOS: We aim to source the finest, local, produce, definitely no G.M. [see the “Suppliers” list] and, as it is freshly prepared with great care, it does take somewhat longer-though hopefully not enough to try the patience of an oyster! Also because of seasonal features, the unpredictability of the weather, the sea, us…. some ingredients may not always be to hand.
WARNING: Raw or underdone eggs, meat and seafood may be DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH - Please ask if you have any qualms or are pregnant; also our hors d’œuvres, breads and dishes marked * may contain nuts and dishes marked * certainly do. Please do inform us of any specific allergies or food intolerances that you may have before ordering.
“Doggy Bags” - whilst we do not recommend this [food will become contaminated and perilous to eat if not properly stored and/or consumed timeously] and cannot thus guarantee its safety away from our premises, we provide containers if asked.
Pre-Teens Meals- 1/2 portions are available where possible.
Our prices include both service and V.A.T.!
“Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.”
