"The Cornerstone is currently the only place to eat in centre of Scalloway. The Scalloway Hotel, which was far and away one of the best eating places in Shetland, has closed down because of the Covid pandemic, and the Kiln Bar is currently undergoing refurbishment....So, what can the Cornerstone offfer instead. Not a lot. The menu is limited and basic, offering staples such as haddock and chips, macaroni cheese and quiche, plus vatious sandwiches, paninis, etc. I had haddock and can honestly say that in over years of eating out in Shetland, this was the worst haddock that I have ever had. It was small, thin and tasteless. The Northern Isles are the place to go for haddock and the Cornerstone is only a couple of hundred yards from the Scalloway fish market. Where the Cornerstone sources its fish from, I don't know, but it can't be locally unless they the proceed to murder it in their kitchen. The chips are also tasteless. They are fresh and crisp, but are entirely without flavvour. The place itself is nicely furnished, but there is no effort at social distancing. Tables are packed in and I was certainly less that metre from the people on the adjacent table. The manager/owner was wandering around chatting to people at their tables, but he was not wearing a face mask. Prices are reasonable and the staff are very friendly, but that does not make up for the shortcomings."
