Shetland summer is being good to us this year! With all these sunny days, it can only mean one thing...

Haddock and chips.

Our batter is exceptionally crispy, the fish is as fresh as it gets and unbeatable views outside to top it off! Treat yourself to something light, fresh and delicious 🔆😋

A Note to Our Wonderful Guests ☀️

Summer is officially our peak season and we are incredibly grateful for the amazing loyalty and support our community and visitors show us day in and day out. What an incredible few weeks we've had already!

Our main goal is to ensure you have a fantastic dining experience. Because we get so busy during these warmer months, we highly recommend booking a table in advance to secure your spot and avoid disappointment at the door.

Booking with us is completely stress-free:

• no obligation cancellations (different T&C's apply for private functions)
• we are happy to reschedule your booking for a date & time that suits if your plans change

A gentle reminder: Our team works incredibly hard to look after you during this fast-paced period. We kindly ask that all guests treat our staff with the kindness and respect they deserve.

Thank you all for your understanding and continuous support. We can't wait to dine with you!

The Dowry Team.

Feast your eyes on this juicy goodness 🥩

Steak fans rave about our sirloin, but have you actually tried it yet?

Seared to order, exactly how you want. Whether it's date night, or a takeaway won't cut it. This steak will have you fantin!

Forget about the wine and Tennent's for something a bit more local. Pair your perfectly seared steak with a cold pint of Lerwick IPA whose hoppy, malty tones beautifully complement that caramelised steak crust.

We already know it's delicious, but we'll let you find out for yourself. 🤤
