lochinver Larder
Baddi-Bikes

Lochinver Larder is rightly famous for it's wonderful pies that they send all over the world! it is also a wonderful restaurant in it's own right and should be on everyone's must visit list when here. 

Under new ownership there are exciting plans for 2022 that incorporate the original pie shop and old Caberfeidh pub. The vision is to create a welcoming and unforgettable destination in the heart of Lochinver that celebrates the unique qualities of the natural area and the local community. The new Lochinver Larder and Boathouse will include a pub, restaurant, bistro cafe, deli counter, bakery, brewery and smoker - offering a welcome pit stop for travellers and a cosy, familiar den for locals.

Boat Trips
Peets restaurant/ An Cala cafe/Culag Hotel/ Angels coffee shop

Coastal boat tours are available locally and a great way to see Assynt from another perspective! Sea angling and private charters from Lochinver marina on board with North Coast Sea Tours https://northcoastseatours.co.uk/  and departing from the jetty at Kylesku are North West Sea Tours https://northwestseatours.co.uk

Peets restaurant like An Cala café and the Culag Hotel are all situated in the harbour area of Lochinver.

We eat and drink in them all and they all serve a great variety of food and cater for all tastes. Peets even makes it's own gin now and if you follow them on Facebook you will be able to replicate some of their wonderful dishes. An Cala is a wonderful relaxed café/restaurant and you won't go away hungry that's for sure. The Culag is a proper old west coast hotel and great for a drink and some homemade food. You will find some of the local catches from the fishing boats on your plates at these establishments and you won't get it fresher! With locally sourced meat and game as well as a wealth of vegetarian options there is food for all.

Angels coffee shop in the Main Street serves the best coffee ever and what Angel doesn't know about coffee isn't worth knowing in our opinion. Cakes and a small gift shop are in the coffee shop also.

Inverlodge Hotel

Inver lodge Hotel is a truly wonderful experience and serves Michelin quality food in an enviable location high up on a hillside overlooking the harbour. It is definitely worth a visit when here and along with the wonderful food is a spectacularly decorated hotel with a warm welcome from the staff

Delilahs

Coming soon to the village is Delilah's restaurant which occupies the large old tourist information office. With direct views over Lochinver Bay it is sure to be spectacular and with a local couple at the helm will prove to be another asset to the village worth visiting.
