Orkneys' award winning restaurants, cafes and bars often have stunning views to match the excellence of their cuisine.

The best of them all "The Creel" offers both and will beat all your expectations. Being awarded the "Scottish Chef of the Year Award" Alan and his wife Joyce have brought haute cuisine to St Margaret's Hope. As it has been listed in 2008 once again under the first 100 restaurants in Britain early booking is essential and we are happy to organise a table for you.

Other local restaurants and cafes like the "Sands Hotel" in Burray, and the "Galley Inn" in St Margaret's Hope serve fresh local food, like Orkney seafood, full of intense, briny flavours. Cooked quickly and simply it will be a truly unforgettable experience, especially when your dining table is looking out over water it came from. And no matter if you prefer true spirit or a good bottle of wine- here in the North we offer surprisingly both to unbeatable standard. Choose from the selection of the Orkney Wine Company, Britains most northerly winery or the world wide well known Highland Park Distillery and Scapa Whisky Distillery.

Besides a breakfast that won't leave you hungry until teatime we serve evening meals by individual arrangements. If you don't feel like dining out - there is no need for it. You can indulge yourself in a quiet private atmosphere enjoying a breathtaking sunset over Hoxa Head or listening to the rattling wind embracing Roeberry.
