The Boatshed at the Royal Hotel
The Boatshed Restaurant
The main restaurant of the Royal Hotel on Stornoway harbour, holding an AA One Rosette and serving Hebridean seafood and Stornoway black pudding.
The Boatshed is in the Royal Hotel on Stornoway's quayside. Its bright nautical interior looks across the harbour to Lews Castle. The menu centres on local seafood: hand-dived scallops, Learbost mussels, monkfish and langoustines, along with Scottish beef and the award-winning Stornoway black pudding. The signature is the Hebridean seafood pot. Lunch and dinner are served, with an early-bird dinner menu and à la carte options. It fills up quickly, so booking ahead is best. Some reviews say prices are high and service is slow at peak times. It is a few minutes' walk from the ferry terminal.
