Chartroom II - next door to the NTS Arduaine Gardens
For garden enthusiasts, sailors or just those wanting an informal place to have a meal and refreshments, the Chartroom II provides a wonderful balance of spectacular views, casual dining and delicious food. Our legendary langoustines are served daily, along with lobster and crab. All our food, including Highland Beef Burgers and Beer Battered Haddock are home-made and our policy of buying food locally wherever possible applies to all our dishes. Vegetarian options are also available. The Chartroom II directly overlooks Asknish Bay with wonderful views out to Shuna, Jura and Scarba as well as Skerries.
For sailors, why not moor up on one of our
four private moorings, available free of charge from April - October and walk up the path from the slipway to enjoy lunch or supper. Our Bistro is also equipped with showers for those sailors who wish to have a clean and tidy up before eating! Plenty of hanging space for oilys is available and don’t worry about muddy wellies; we’ll soon clean up any mess you leave behind! In the summer why not sit outside and enjoy a drink in our seating area and enjoy a magical sunset or just soak up the sun rays. In the winter, our cosy fire will keep you warm whilst you enjoy the magnificent waves crashing against the rocks in the high winds.
The Chartroom II is family friendly and we serve children’s meals or half portions from our main menu. Highchairs and baby changing facilities are available, as well as a welcome box of toys and games to keep the little ones amused whilst you relax and enjoy the view. A children’s playground is available in front of the Bistro, so your children can burn some energy whilst you keep an eye on them from one of our new outside tables and chairs. At lunch time why not enjoy watching our Highland Cows, Campbell, Dougal and McDonald, being fed.
Teas, coffees, drinks and home baking are served all day from 11am to 10pm, with lunch served between 12-2:30pm and supper from 6-9pm. Even if you are driving past and want to stop for a break, or are looking for a warm fire and relaxing drink at the end of a hard day's walking, then the Chartroom II is the place to head for, especially with free wi-fi available. For larger parties we recommend booking (call us on
01852 200 233 or
email us), especially if you want a popular window seat.
The Bistro will be closed all week as of 1st November - 3oth March; however soup and sandwiches, teas, coffees, cakes and other light refreshments are available in the lounge all winter from 12-2:30pm every day.
