RESTAURANT & BAR
DINING
Our philosophy is to source the very best local and Scottish produce and cook it simply. Focusing on Colonsay shellfish, fish, organic salads and vegetables, as well as outstanding Scottish lamb, beef and game, the menu changes seasonally.
Lunch is freshly baked bread, soups, tarts and shellfish served with salad leaves that we grow in our kitchen garden, all simple but delicious.
The Colonsay has a children’s menu, all food is freshly cooked, and may range from local fish and chips, to organic chicken breast and the house burger. We have a set price two course pre-ferry supper on Friday and Sunday evenings, which can be enjoyed while waiting for the evening ferry.
Our relaxed and informal restaurant has harbour views, a woodburning stove and white linen tablecloths. In keeping with our easy going style however, you can eat anywhere in The Colonsay that appeals to you.
BAR
|
Our bar is the hub of island life. Locals, tourists, families and passing yachties all mingle happily in the bar, log room, old dining room and library.
With three roaring log fires, comfy sofas, books and games, there is a relaxed spot for everyone.
On some evenings, instruments are brought out and local Scottish music is the order of the day.
|
|
We have a carefully thought out wine list that offers great value wines as well as some selected fine wines for those special occasions.
We have our locally brewed Colonsay beer on tap. We also carry a range of bottle conditioned ales and an extensive array of malt whiskies.
