Hi Graeme. The Seaforth does ok food but on recent trips i've found it a bit expensive.especially for a pint. I've also eaten in The Frigate a couple of times when i fancied pizza & that was good,but my go to place has got to be the Indian restaurant which sits at the entrance to Broomfield campsite,just superb. For a pint & a good pub atmosphere The Ferryboat is the one,but never eaten in there.

Cheers Pat. I had clocked the Indian restaurant when I did a wee search. Always work checking out the local curry house! At the moment though I am more concerned about the behaviour of the weather gods than the quality of the local hostelries and eateries! :o

Another vote for the Arch Inn.

Been there thrice now, good banter and decent grub. Seems to stay a bit quieter being up the end of the main street.

Aye it's looking a bit on the lively side to say the least. My long weekend too. :(

I ate in the Seaforth in April this year and, as already mentioned, the food was average and quite expensive for what it was.

A shame really, I remember it being really good when I first visited around 10 years ago.

Hi Graeme,

Sorry I missed this post and realise this is too late for your trip but if you go back (or anyone else goes) this might help.

I eat out in Ullapool about once a month and my 'go to' place has not been mentioned yet. It is the Morefield Motel which is just off the main road on the way up north. I know it is getting a little tired as a motel but the food in the restaurant has never disappointed and the staff are very friendly (and Runrig fans!). My favourite meal is the Ragout of seafood in a prawn bisque. I don't have to order it, Bev just asks 'is it the usual?' when I walk in. Well worth the 90 mile round trip for the evening.

The Ceilidh Place is also good, with a nice atmosphere, as is The Arch, which I have been to a couple of times and found to be well above average. The Ferry Bridge Inn is very good pub food, but often quite loud and busy (which isn't always a bad thing).

I too was a little disappointed with the Seaforth, OK but a little overrated. The Argyll was very ordinary pub food and I won't bother going back. I haven't tried the Indian, but have heard quite good reports.

I hope you and Mrs D enjoyed wherever you ended up.

If anyone wants any recommendations for the Gairloch and surrounding areas there aren't many places I haven't tried :D

Keith

The Seaforth changed hands a few years ago. Its now owned by a pub chain. Think that is when it started to go down hill. Even the locals had a moan about beer prices. As for the Indian heard the food is good. But they dont have a license to sell alcohol but your allowed to take your own.
