Kilchoman Distillery Café
A café in an old stable at the Kilchoman farm distillery on Islay, where the Cullen skink is considered the island's best and soup with a sandwich is good value.
Located at Kilchoman Farm Distillery at Rockside Farm in the west of the island. The café is set in an old stable, with a warm atmosphere, and welcomes dogs both indoors and outdoors. Its most celebrated dish is Cullen skink, a smoked haddock and potato chowder served with two thick slices of wholemeal bread, which reviewers say is the best on the island and perhaps in all of Scotland. Other dishes include haggis and onion panini, baked potatoes and homemade cakes. Soup with a sandwich is good value. The menu is simple, and queues are possible in peak season. It is a good lunch stop when visiting the distillery or heading to Machir Bay beach.
