Bothy - Orkney Islands

Was really pleased to catch this place open (currently only opening Friday and Saturday). Black pudding and scallop starter had my name on it and didn't disappoint. Had a special of chicken stroganoff, which was good. Ale was Scapa Special also tasty. The food comes from the same kitchen as the neighbouring hotel.

I have never been so disappointed by service in my life. Morgan instantly was rude to us and spat in my face!

A lovely Scottish pub with a warm friendly atmosphere, and super friendly staff. We went back two nights in row it was that good and memorable. If you want an authentic scottish pub experience with fantastic food to boot, look no further than the Bothy Bar. A short walk from our accommodation at the Orkney Hotel, and one of our best decisions that night, and to be honest I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Good food, welcoming locals (even cheery local drunk! Went for an early evening meal, thought it might be the sort of place that goes quiet when you walk in but locals quite friendly and soon joined by various other visiting parties so good atmosphere.

Excellent seafood platter in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful. Gluten free bread/oatcakes not a problem. Very good value for money.
