What food services do we provide and who do we serve?

Throughout the day we serve breakfast, lunch and dinner menus to a variety of guests ranging from those at Raasay House to the various B&Bs, Raasay Distillery (which has six bedrooms), local residents, day visitors and holiday home guests depending on the serving period.

Evening service across three dining rooms and the bar can reach 130 covers during the peak times of the year (Easter and June, July & August).

Daytime service reaches around 50 covers in the summer and Easter holidays when the outdoor area is maximised.

Our breakfast service for our residents consists of both continental and cooked options and in peak season reaches 50-70 covers depending on occupancy configuration. - Other than a takeaway/outdoor eatery we are the only place on the island to eat.

During April, September and October (and other odd times) we have groups such as musicians, yoga groups and photographers (groups are usually between 12 and 25) or Weddings (50-100 guests). These are usually staying on a dinner bed and breakfast or full board basis. We would usually require set menus prepared and tailored to the groups in advance as larger groups will pre-order meals.

What is our food like?

Our customers like traditional Scottish food with a modern twist. They love local seafood, fresh local produce and plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.
