The Frigate - Ullapool

Giving it 2 stars as some of it down to covid. After waiting 20 mins shown a table by a waitress trying to placate everyone. Ordered fish and chips and mushy peas with tartar sauce. The sauce turned out to be garlic dip and a very strong one at that, so much that it gave me a dicky tummy the rest of the day and evening. The batter was tasteless and the chips went cold very quickly. Had a pint of belhaven best that had a taste of line cleaner in it though it could have been going off.

Place opens at 12 which is fine for lunch time, what I would say is that food is really good, staff do what they need to and done their job. However no one checked on us or offered to clear our table until we asked to pay the bill had clearly been finished for ages. Good harbour views and maybe isn’t the most modern place. However I would say that if you want to listen to a doorbell going off for the duration of your stay then sit inside (as the doorbell is the way the chef says food is really upstairs). Toilets are communal for male and female which I didn’t find a problem. Food is priced at 30 for 2 burgers, with the area you would expect that though. Would recommend for good food for sure.

Fish and chips was to big for me to eat but still enjoyed the rest

Ordered the burger and chips, with crispy bacon on the burger. Good, solid, meaty burger, with the right amount of onion in it. Chips were piping hot, too. Minor criticism: they forgot to bring my ½pint of Birra Morreti along with the food. Slightly pricey but I suppose being in an out ot the way location, the cost factors in the logistics of getting the stock to them. All in, I paid £15.50 for the meal and drink. Left them a wee tip too!! !!

Great little coffee shop very well located in the Main Street with stunning views to the bay. Great coffee and bakery! Will be back again
