The Storehouse
A restaurant with guest rooms in a former 1880s herring-curing store, serving a seasonal menu built around Orkney seafood and meat.
Located in Kirkwall's old town on Bridge Street Wynd, right beside St Magnus Cathedral. The building is a herring and pork curing store dating from around 1880 and is a Category B listed building. In 2018, knitwear designer Judith Glue and her husband converted it into a restaurant with eight guest rooms. The menu changes with the seasons and daily specials, working closely with local seafood and meat suppliers. Scallops, haddock, turbot and mussels often feature. Ideal for a special dinner; booking is recommended. Walkable to the harbour and the cathedral.
Opening hours
June to September: dinner served nightly 17:30–21:00, with lunch on Fridays and Saturdays. Off-season: open Thursday to Saturday.
