This solid stone building on the way to Kinlochbervie makes for an appealing food stop, with the dining area in the former school classroom and outdoor tables taking advantage of the views. Dishes include local haddock with chips, salmon steaks, crab sandwiches and venison pie. There's also an inexpensive takeaway menu. It's a friendly place that also offers a variety of B&B rooms.
