The Shieling - Isle of Skye Highland

We went to the Shieling twice when we were staying in Poolewe. Firstly just for a snack and drink after a walk however ended up having soup and a sandwich which was very generous in portion size “he doesn’t do small “ the waitress said laughing. I had mushroom soup which was delicious and my partner had the Cullen Skink which she declared the best ever! As it was so good we booked to return with our friends for lunch on the Friday, we all had fish and chips or scampi all of which were really fresh and tasty. The staff are really helpful and friendly and service was great. I would definitely recommend the Shieling if you are in the area but booking ahead especially in high season and weekends are a must.

This is a lovely underrated restaurant with excellent friendly service. No pretensions, just hearty homemade meals with super fresh local produce. Just one warning, the portions are big. You won’t leave hungry. But you might leave with a doggy bag.

Arrived later for a lunch but were able to get a table. A few Gluten free Options including Haddock Chips. Service was good and food delicious, portions were huge!

Always book ahead to avoid disapointment, because it so popular with locals. 6 of us had a family lunch and it was perfect. The waitresses Jackie and Laura were so professional and friendly. My cullen skink soup was delicious. We love the food here. Thank you Donald and staff. Guaranteed a warm welcome every time. You have to book first as this place gets busy. Do not expect to walk in and get a table for meal without booking because it is popular. This restaurant is an asset to this area. The coffees and cakes are great too.

Cappuccino is a must have! Friendly staff. Lovely view of the bay and gorgeous to watch the rain and storm come through. Good Scottish good and produce to buy.
