Menu

Whilst predominantly specialising in locally caught seafood (our lobster and crab are caught in Catterline bay), we pride ourselves in providing a full range of dishes for those of you desiring something other than the "catch of the day".

Our menu remains fresh, changing every 4 months, in-keeping with the seasons, reflecting traditionally available produce from the sea and land at that time.

Additionally, many of our customers eat from our specials board, which changes daily depending on what fruits the sea provides, offering yet more variety to our recognised favourites. Vegetarians are also catered for on our specials board and starters can also be increased in size to provide alternative vegetarian main courses.

Our seafood is delivered daily from Gourdon and Aberdeen fish markets with our meat prepared and delivered daily from Charles McHardy Butchers in Stonehaven. Image

So, whatever your tastes are, come along and enjoy a well balanced meal in relaxed surroundings situated amongst spectacular scenery. We don't think you will find a better eating experience in the area.

 Mon to Friday a new  “Light Lunch”

We have introduced a new “light lunch menu” with smaller portions at a reduced price, to accommodate many of our customers who are looking for an alternative to a full lunch.

If you would like a more traditional “fuller” lunch please feel free to choose from our specials board.

Light Lunch 2 courses inc. coffee £12.95 - 3 courses inc. coffee £15.95.
