We finish serving dinner in the Summer 7-30ish with Sundays late lunch winding up at about 6-00 for last orders.

Wherever possible Coll meat and fish are used and during the growing months virtually all our salad and vegetables are grown on Coll. Most of the year we use Coll potatoes, while supplies last, and with these we make our own chips. We make a lot of chips.

Sundays have become a year round feature on Coll with our late lunch. Here we serve the traditional roast with a great big Yorkshire Pudding and homemade puddings like Lemon Meringue,Scots Flummery and Shortbread, Banoffi or Cheeses and Oatcakes, for £12-50 .......a two course feast with guaranteed satisfaction and good company! Just like Sundays should be. Wise to reserve a table though as most folk do and The Cafe can be fully booked before Sunday arrives.

Our Organic Wines ,Beers, Ciders, Soft Drinks, Teas and Coffees all add to the feelgood factor!

This Summer we are adding Cairn o' Mohr Scottish Country Wines to our menu and we hope many will feel inclined to try them, as we were (!) , and be delighted by their absolute ability to be consumed with a meal just as well as any grape wine. These wines come from Errol..in Perthshire..and are made of Scottish and hand picked ingredients.

The soft drinks we serve are Cola,Lemon,Cranberry, Ginger, Blackcurrant, Orange, Orange Juice, Apple Juice, Milk and Water. They are all organic, as is the Drinking Chocolate, and very popular with children and parents alike, avoiding the effects of additives.........that goes for the alcoholic drinks too!
