The Pierhouse Hotel team is breathing new life into the coastal cafe on the A828 between Ballachulish and Connel, which is now welcoming visitors seven days a week. A choice of indoor and outdoor seating allows visitors to drink in the breathtaking panoramic views over Loch Linnhe; Castle Stalker; Sgeir Bhuidhe Lighthouse; and the islands of Mull and Lismore towards the Ardnamurchan peninsula.
The daytime menu showcases home baking, seasonal soup, sandwiches, a selection of breakfast rolls and all-day cooked Scottish breakfasts, as well as hot and chilled drinks. Rolling daily specials and rotating cakes and pastries will include classic savoury quiches and sausage rolls, as well as sweet treats like raspberry pavlova, lemon meringue pie, baked apple crumble cheesecake, and the ultimate fruit and cheese scones.
Local producers and suppliers include family-run Letterfindlay Foods in Fort William, Ardfern Black Pudding and Argyll Bakeries in Campbeltown, as well as independently owned We Love Coffee in Glasgow.
The small Pierhouse Hotel and its renowned Scottish seafood restaurant has an established reputation as one of Argyll’s most idyllic and romantic destinations.
The Pierhouse Hotel restaurant has three silver stars, two AA rosettes and is one of only three Argyll restaurants included in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland. To find out more, go to pierhousehotel.co.uk
