The Oystercatcher - Menu

A wonderful lunch menu for all the family. The whitebait, mussels and catch of the day were lovely. Friendly staff and good ale!

Excellent food, served with thought at slight delay with superb local bread and olives thrown in. Service was first class. Fyne Ales a surprise bonus. Remote location, but electronic pay works fine. Enjoy a walk and maybe even a swim before or after your meal.

My partner and I stopped for a light lunch here today. Only half expected it to be open, but it was (winter opening times); and a nice welcome. Fairly busy, a good sign, excellent choice on menu, we had mushroom soup (excellent) and langoustines (again excellent) and coffee's each. Nice ambience, real fire, pleasant staff. Well worth a visit! View menu

We love visiting Otter Ferry and always go to The Oystercatcher. It’s one of our favourite places. Phoebe and the team are so welcoming, the food is brilliant and the views are to die for. It also helps that we usually stay at the Bothy next door! It’s become a bit of a regular haunt for us, so much so we’ll be there for Burn’s Night at the end of January. Can’t wait!

Amazing location, restaurant, food and staff! The produce is local very fresh seafood as you’d expect. Food was so tastefully put together, it was very well balanced the chef had struck the right balance ! Staff were rushed off their feet, but always smiling and on the ball, had to wait a couple of times, but we didn’t mind the food was so good! I want to go back, thank you!

I realised I’ve been coming here for years and never reviewed. I find the food excellent and the service friendly. The second time I came, the owners could reel off my allergies. Now I get a custom menu which is never requested. The past few years have been very difficult for a small rural team struggling to find staff and some find it difficult that hours are reduced and booking is essential. I counter that with the first part of the review. Well done to team oystercatcher. View menu

My son and girlfriend went today on my recommendation. Table for 2. Did you book? No. No tables then. A couple of tables were occupied. We can give you fish and chips take away. Sandwich asks my son. No. I suggested he go further down the road to the Inver. Better by far in my opinion. I have always been under impressed by the place. It could be magnificent. Always below average. I understand it must be difficult being in the middle of nowhere, but all the more reason to excel at what you do. Now permanently off my list.

First time we have eaten there since new owners took over. Starters were very good but unfortunately our mains didn’t reach the same standard. Although well cooked I was expecting a whole lobster but only received a small half. Questioned this and was told that the menu stated the price was for a half but the waiter did agree that the font used for “1/2” was so small you needed a magnifying glass to read it. Other members of the party received an uncooked burger, a cold steak and fish that was over battered. To be fair when I raised these issues they offered to deduct the cost of our main courses from the bill, which I accepted as a reasonable solution.

I booked for the pizza’s on a Sunday 2 weeks in advance. (As advised by the bothy owners where we were staying next door) When we arrived they didn’t have our booking. I even showed them my phone with evidence of me calling them to make the booking. They said there was nothing they could do and were aware that it would be hard to get anywhere else (we couldn’t book another restaurant). We had to travel to Dunoon (45mins there and back to get something to eat as all shops closed early on a Sunday) this completely ruined our stay as is was dark by the time we had our tea and couldn’t our time on enjoy the loch . I know mistakes happen but they just didn’t seem to care. You are supposed to orde... View menu
