01/10/2026

Hi Folks..
we aren't the first mention Christmas.. but with enquiries and bookings already coming in we feel it's time to bust the lid on this one!!

We are now taking bookings for Christmas with a whole range of services available for private, corporate, family and small parties...
We will ask for a pre-order from all reservations and a deposit for all tables of 6 or more.

Menu available from Sunday 30th November until 31st December

We will be offering unconditional bookings on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (with pre-order) but we are open to discussing opening for groups of 15 or more Monday to Wednesday (otherwise the restaurant will be closed on these days)

It's always difficult to make oneself clear in these posts!!
So.. if interested please contact us by phone, email or messenger and we will give you all the info you need to fulfill your needs - and appetites!

So.. a lovely Italian couple asked for a local crab. Whole and wholesome.
Not something we offer regularly on the menu as it requires a little courage!
They left with huge smiles and dug in deep!!
Please tell us about your desired experience.. at time of booking if you can..and let us know what you want from us.
We do our best to source, cook and deliver!

We love all our international guests that find thier way to the Galley.. in Scrabster
We love their stories, reasons for visiting and excitement for good local produce.

I met Rainer cycling his way from Dusseldorf in Germany all the way up to Shetland and back home... over the course of a hundred days!
What a gentleman.. full of glee, kindness and energy

He made this video after accepting an offer to stay with me, in my home, after his tour of Shetland and Orkney..
He enjoyed his meal so much on Saturday night he stayed another night so he could eat again on Sunday (and recover from a late night supporting Scotland in the world cup!)

If any tourists visiting The Galley - Scrabster arrive with a selfie.. with the man and his spaceship bike we will give a 10% discount - so keep an eye out on your travels...
say hello to Rainer and come visit us in Scrabster!

The video is only a few minutes but so worth a look! Tourists and locals should get a wee kick!

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

Another of this weekends specials.. which received fantastic feedback from diners

Blackbelly Rose fish with roast vegetables and gnocchi in roast tomato sauce.. landed here in Scrabster, this rarely seen local species is a winner!
