🍂 Our autumn hours start today!

From today, we’re open 11am–4:30pm, six days a week as usual (closed Saturdays).

And with the suitably autumnal wind and rain outside, we’ll be firing up the fryer today too! 🌧️🍟

We’re working with our smaller autumn team now, so we’ll do our best to juggle everything.

Come in out of the weather and join us for a cosy lunch in the extension. 🐟🌧️❤️

🍂 Autumn Hours at the Seafood Cabin

As the school holidays come to an end and things begin to quieten down in Skipness, it’s also time to say goodbye to some of our lovely summer staff as they head back to university, college and their studies. ❤️

As usual at this time of year, we’ll be moving to our shorter autumn opening hours from Tuesday 1st September.

🍂 From Tuesday next week: 11am–4:30pm

A huge thank you to everyone who has visited us over the summer — and to our brilliant seasonal staff who have helped us throughout a busy few months!

We look forward to welcoming you for plenty more seafood in Skipness as we head into September and autumn. 🐟🍂

🌒 Eclipse chips!! 🌒

Despite the lovely forecast (although currently drizzling!), we have decided to celebrate this evening’s solar eclipse by turning on the fryer from 5pm! 🍟

Why not head down to enjoy the event with a beer and a bowl of chips at the Cabin, and bring your own viewing equipment! 👓 ☀️

See you there!

P.S. We’ve heard a colander will suffice if you don’t have any glasses…

🌧️ Rainy Day Specials ☔

Let’s be honest… when the west coast weather turns, far fewer people decide to venture down the road to the Seafood Cabin. We can’t really blame them!

But we’re always especially grateful to those who do. ❤️

We think our seafood platters are best served with fresh bread and butter, but on a wet west coast day, that doesn’t quite hit the spot.

So whenever the weather looks particularly miserable, we’ll be firing up the fryer and offering a few warming specials alongside our usual menu.

You might find:
🦪 Mussels & Chips – £18
🦐 Scallops & Chips – £18
🦞 Hot Buttered Langoustines & Chips – £18
🍟 Portions of Chips – £4

These specials will only be available on selected rainy days and we’ll announce them on social media that morning, so keep an eye on the forecast… and our page!

So, if you’re wrapped up for a wild west coast walk, or simply fancy escaping the rain for a while, why not call in for some fresh seafood, hot chips and a warm welcome? ☔🦀🍟

A little notice for today 💙

From 1pm onwards, we will be hosting a private wake in our extension space as family and friends come together to celebrate the life of a loved one.

The Seafood Cabin will remain open as usual, and our cabin service will continue throughout the day. We kindly ask for your patience if things are a little busier than normal while we look after both our customers and those attending the wake.

The good news is that the sun is shining, and we have plenty of outdoor seating available for you to enjoy your seafood in the lovely weather. ☀️🦞

Thank you, as always, for your understanding and support.

🍷 From Our Wine List 🇵🇹

Over the winter, we curated a wine list designed to complement the Cabin’s delicious seafood.

We knew we wanted a Vinho Verde — something light, crisp and refreshing — and after plenty of tasting, we settled on this Las Lilas from northern Portugal.

With its gentle spritz and just 9.5% ABV, it’s a brilliant palate cleanser: perfect with the creamy sauces in our signature mussels and scallops, and fresh enough to cut through the saltiness of our cured and smoked salmons.

It’s a firm favourite amongst staff and friends, and it also happens to be the most affordable wine on our menu.

With this week’s beautiful weather forecast, we can’t think of much better than fresh seafood, a sea view, and a chilled glass of Vinho Verde. ☀️🦪🍷

Available now at the Seafood Cabin.

A little heads-up for anyone planning to visit us tomorrow afternoon! 🎉

We’re delighted to be hosting the Tarbert Academy Prom tomorrow evening, so there will be a bit of extra activity around the Cabin during the afternoon as pupils and teachers decorate and prepare for their big night.

From around 6pm, our extension area will be reserved for the prom (although access to the toilets will remain available as normal through to close). The good news is that we still have plenty of outdoor seating available, including tables on the deck and under cover.

Please don’t let the extra activity put you off visiting — it should be a lovely atmosphere, if a little busier and more bustling than usual!

We hope to see you tomorrow, and we’d like to wish all the Tarbert Academy pupils a fantastic prom night! ❤️

Summer has arrived! ☀️🐟

The Seafood Cabin reopens for the season tomorrow and we’re very excited to welcome everyone back for another summer in Skipness.

The forecast looks absolutely beautiful for the week ahead, and while we can’t wait to see everyone, it’s also a gentle reminder that sunny days on the west coast can sometimes bring very busy periods for our little cabin!

We’re starting the season slightly short-staffed this week, with more of our summer team arriving soon, so there may be times where food preparation and service take a little longer — especially if lots of customers arrive at once and order in quick succession.

If you arrive and see full tables or a queue, please bear with us and don’t be afraid to ask our staff for an indication of waiting times, as sometimes the queue is simply customers paying or grabbing an ice cream or drink.

As always, everything is prepared fresh to order by a small team, and while we’ll always do our very best to get everyone served, we’d gently advise allowing plenty of time if you’re planning around ferry times or tight schedules.

And finally, if you’re hoping to visit with a larger group (7 people or more), please do let us know in advance where possible so we can try our best to accommodate you smoothly.

We can’t wait to see familiar faces and new visitors alike for another season beside the castle, the sea, and the hills of Arran ❤️
