A Delicious Taste of Arran

Fresh local produce and warm Arran hospitality

Dining on Arran's West Coast

Arran has long been known as one of Scotland’s great food islands, celebrated for its seafood, cheeses, dairy and artisan producers.

Located in the village of Blackwaterfoot on Arran’s west coast, our restaurant pairs breathtaking sea views with menus inspired by the island’s remarkable fresh produce. Every dish reflects the character and quality of the island.

Whether you're searching for restaurants on Arran, planning lunch in Blackwaterfoot or looking for somewhere special for dinner after a day exploring, book now to experience the best local flavours and the warmest island hospitality.

On brighter days, lunch can be served on our sea view terrace.

Our coastal dining room is popular with both hotel guests and visitors exploring the island. We strongly recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment.
