We specialises in giant prawns harvested nightly from Loch Aline; venison; organic beef and lamb from local estates and Isle of Mull mussels and scallops from the Sound of Mull.
It is not always easy to find the freshest and best local products. A great deal of the shellfish harvested in Ardnamurchan and Mull is shipped directly to Europe. It can be difficult to buy scallops, prawns and local meats even in Fort William and Oban (both over an hour away from Lochaline - and a ferry ride). Over the past four years we have built up relationships with many small-scale producers who supply us. These producers are extremely important to us. The Wilsons, also on Mull, supply us with their mussels. Our huge prawns and scallops are caught for us on an almost daily basis by a local diver and fisherman. George, weather and tides permitting. We believe in paying a fair price for such wonderful local food.
Lesley (Sarah's Mum) has bigger greehouse. As well as growing a wide range of salad and herbs for us, she is also growing a variety of different produce including legumes, beetroot and potatoes.
Scottish Artisan cheeses come from Sgriob Ruadh Dairy and farm on the Isle of Mull Wild venison and venison products come from Jan Jacob Baak at Great Glen Game in Spean Bridge.
We source our wines from a number of suppliers including the organic suppliers Vintage Roots. We are constantly developing our list.
We are small and informal. Our evening menu is short. (Normally with a choice of four starters, four main courses and puddings). What we cook depends on what our suppliers have. If the weather is very rough, creels cannot be lifted! All the food is cooked to order. If you particularly want prawns (or anything else), we suggest you let us know in advance as we are a small restaurant and sometimes we sell out of certain things.
If you would like to come in a party, we are happy to agree a menu beforehand with you.
