Dining on board our vessels is informal and friendly with meals served at the communal table in the deck saloon. With meals freshly prepared every day by our on board chef, we only use the finest produce and cater to dietary requirements upon request.
Each meal is generally served at anchor in a new idyllic location, carefully chosen by your skipper, although you may occasionally dine while en route, surrounded by the gliding scenery. The west coast of Scotland is famed for its fish, shellfish, lamb, beef and venison as well as speciality produce such as cheese and preserves. Your chef will source the freshest local produce, often from your anchorage. Picking up mussels at the Loch Spelve mussel farm, or buying shellfish boat-to-boat from local fishermen, are always crowd pleasing activities.
"The food was wonderful: fresh seafood, wine with dinner, local cheeses to sample."

The menu is freshly prepared each day to a very high standard by the onboard chef. Each day comes with a new set menu, but individual food tastes, dietary requirements and allergies are catered for. Your chef will be aware of these ahead of your cruise, from your dietery preferences form. Meals are prepared with the same level of care for all diets.
Breakfast is usually served between 8 am and 9 am, lunch is around 1 pm, afternoon tea is served around 4 pm and canapés at 7:30 pm, followed by dinner, which is accompanied by complimentary wine. These times may alter a little depending on the cruise itinerary.
Teas, coffees, fruit and snacks are available all day. There is a fully stocked bar on board offering a wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, often sourced from the areas in which we sail.
