Not the most summery of weeks again this week! Why not do something a bit different and hop on the 11.30 boat to Shapinsay and have fish and chips and the Smithy? You could be back on the 1.30 boat or hang around, go for a walk and be back in time for tea with the 3.15 or the 4.45 ferry back!🍟

Closed Tuesday but here are the Specials for the rest of the week (week commencing 20th). We're open 11.30-3 every day except Tuesdays! Why not pop over on the ferry, you can catch the ferry right out of Kirkwall at 11.30am, arriving at 12 and catch the 1.30pm back again! (book to avoid disappointment!) Or you can stay and have a wander or a drive around Shapinsay!
