Our Menu

We pride ourselves on using as much local produce as possible in our menu. All of our produce is either homemade, or produced in Orkney. Our shellfish comes directly from Gina’s father’s hand diving scallop fishing boats (Patsy B and Fair Morn), and other local vessels. The food miles to deliver our product is virtually nil - you can see our shellfish holding pond from the end of the road.

See example menu below.
