British Restaurants in Kirkwall

“Me and my family (my children 8 and 5, me and my husband and my parents) all had a lovely lunch here. The food quality was so good and it had such a lovely atmosphere and nice seating. Very friendly staff and we really enjoyed the menu. My favourite was the houmous which I kept talking about all day which caused some laughter ? and the toasties were the best! My daughter enjoyed the kids tray which was really thoughtfully put together and tasty and my son the waffles which looked amazing and he definitely had no problem eating up.
Thank you, we will be back when next this way (I hope!)”

“We stopped off for refreshments on a bike ride from Finstown. It should've been a coffee stop but since it was after 12pm and there were Scapa Brewery ales available, we tried the excellent Scapa Special to go with a fantastic piece of homemade carrot cake. This is a gem of a place, thank you.”

“This place is cheap and has an old school British cafe vibe that’s so relaxed and pleasant compared to other, fancier places in town. I come here every week while waiting for an appointment, and I’ve got to know a few of the staff by sight and they’re just solid gold. The place is usually pretty busy, especially in the summer, but they just plow through the queue with cheerfulness and efficiency. I watched a young lady (who I haven’t seen much so maybe she’s new) explaining almost every item on the menu to a non-English speaking family, and as someone who works in tourism it was honestly a masterclass in patience and kindness. I couldn’t have done it better. There’s another particular member of staff who I’ve twice seen run out from behind the counter to carry a tray to a table for an older lady with a walking frame. The lady probably could have managed it, but she didn’t have to struggle because the lady anticipated her need and offered without being condescending. It was lovely. And then she apologised when she came back for making us wait for all of twelve seconds. Just fab staff all round, I can’t say enough nice things. I hope they read this.
Also whoever does the baking, 10/10. Had the best scone today.”

“Well done team Foveran, the Indian food was amazing tonight, as were the staff. Cannot wait for the next one.”

“If you are looking for some great Orkney beer and are in Burray then this is the place.”

“Highly recommend the "fresh cream donut"!! 5 stars.I highly recommend the fresh cream donuts. It’s the best fresh cream I’ve ever tasted in my life. It’s cheap and super delicious. Definitely recommended!!! Go buy it early in the morning because it will be sold out by cruise tourists between 10 and 11 o’clock. I couldn't buy it anymore when I went back later. The milk was average. The cream biscuits were average. The store clerk was very friendly.”

“Gorgeous place. Enormous, fresh, and tasty sandwiches. Delicious cakes. Lovely waitress. Don't miss it.”

“A cosy pub with great beers ( Swannay brewery) Sadly no draft beers available whilst some changes taking place. Good choices of whisky.”

“Wonderful cafe. One of the only places I could get an iced coffee so a literal life saver ?”

“American dinner! Loved the chilli hot dog!! ? The chicken and veg soup is so good! And my husband says" that's the biggest burger he has ever eaten as it was a double burger!! Great food n ambience!

A week later we went back for seconds!! 2 chilli hot dogs! Yummy!”
