Highland Pub & Restaurant.
This is a sort of an outpost set up. Right across the ferry you have this hotel, pub, restaurant, village shop, post office and more.
It is possibly a great way for the locals to meet up and play some darts and share a laugh and a beer. The place's set up gives that impression. They had the Formula 1 playing on their screen in the pub.
I only used the pub section for an evening meal. Due to the remote location of the village (according to information from other sources) the food as advertised may be in short supply.
As indeed I found out in my case, that there was no steak available today.
I settled for the venison stew with sliced potatoes and green beans.
I realise that this is not Michelin star cooking, and that the quality of a chef may be less than desired for this location, but it is still supposed to be a professional kitchen supplying tasty meals to customers. My meal was just awful.
A lack of taste can be explained as this is Rural Scotland and they may not have evolved beyond the flavour 'bland'. But the execution was well below the standard of decent cooking. The potatoes were slightly burned. The green beans were tasteless. And the stew itself was an unseasoned minced meat affair in a very bland liquid disguised as a watery gravy. I know this as the gravy boat contained more of the same liquid.
I do hope that the other diners in that restaurant had a better experience than I did. My fellow diners also complained about lack of taste and cooking skills (they had salmon, burger & fries and bangers & mash).
The location and convenience is great and I just wished the chef and owners put in a little more effort to customer satisfaction. As I will be visiting the area again at some point, but rather cook my own meal or snacks.
