St Ola - Carte

Very nice fish cakes and fried cheese. Decent wine. Pleasant helpful staff and you get Morrissey on the sound system. Strongly recommended.

Even when my low expectations this is a scruffy and tired hotel. OK at best. Not recommended for couples on holiday. Fine for travellers. Priced fairly though

We arrived in Kirkwall looking for somewhere to get late lunch and this central pub fit the bill. I had a very tasty creamy carrot soup and my husband had fish and chips, he said that the batter was light and crispy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Voir le carte

We visited this restaurant for lunch on county show day. The menu was limited due to the event, but this was expected. We were the only customers at first, and there was a bit of a wait for our food. The staff were friendly and the food was good. We plan to come back another time to try their full menu. The atmosphere was enjoyable.

Came to this restaurant after touring Orkney for the day. It's a nice casual place, and the food is top choice! I had the Cajun chicken burger, cooked perfectly and lots of flavor and spice. It had a nice side of salad and fries. For dessert we had the cheesecake of the day, orkney fudge. OMG, best cheesecake I've ever had w a side of the best ice cream I've ever had. Prices are great, I'd highly recommend this place and I'd come back in a heartbeat.

We were on a cruise of the British Isles and I'm a fish and chips fan. So I order it often. Best fish and chips in the world. Seriously, as you can see, the portion was huge. The fish was haddock, lightly battered, great fries, and very good mushy peas. The waiter and bar tender were upbeat and friendly. The St. Ola draft beer was light but tasty. I had a Scapa draught and it was delicious. The price was inexpensive for our now favorite fish and chips restaurant. Voir le carte

bang average. Very cold bar to sit in for a lunch, wasn't able to take jacket of the whole time I was here, even when eating. Service was slow, fizzy juice was flat, food didn't have much flavour and was cold in parts so i suspect it was just heated up in the microwave as some parts were piping hot and some parts were stone cold. This place has unfortunately gone very downhill so wouldn't return next time I am in Orkney and wouldn't recommend to anyone else visiting. Much better options available. the menu looked very promising and had a good variety of choices but unfortunately they just didn't have the chef to live up to it.

I have to say this was a very comfortable stay I slept really well, despite being warned there might be noise from the bar…if there was I didn’t hear it. Clean, comfortable great value for money would have loved a sea view but that didn’t take anything away from my stay. Friendly understanding staff, a big thank you to the Manager for allowing me to extend my check out time to 1100hrs in order I could get a shower changed before going on to pick up the boat I am sailing on for the next 8 days after completing Kirkwall Park Run that proper made my day. Appreciate the staff working round me TY. Thoroughly recommend a stay here if looking for value for money an easy to get to destination.

Upon arrival we were given a friendly greeting and told that, as it was the county show that day, it would be a bit loud that evening. No specifics were given. Certainly no warning as to what was to come. Loud amplified thumping music was played by the hotel in the pub/bar below us until 1am. This was not explained nor anticipated, since the website and booking listing had mentioned nothing about being a heaving pub until the early hours. The windows provided no insulation against the noise either, so we could hear every bit of noise from the beer garden outside the back too. Needless to say we didn’t sleep and were not happy the next morning. When I raised the issue with staff, I was sternl... Voir le carte
