At the Schoolhouse, we pride ourselves on the quality of the service we offer. We use the best local ingredients and cook them on the premises to provide you with the best possible food at a price that won't break the bank.

The ingredients available in Caithness are amongst the finest in the world - certainly the best that we have cooked anywhere in Britain - and so we do our utmost to do them justice. A small menu gives you the assurance that everything is cooked fresh to the highest possible standards, while regular changes to the menu ensure that there is always something new to delight.

Light lunches are served between 12:30pm and 2:30pm

From a quick snack to something more hearty, we cater for every taste. Soups, pies and pasta are available alongside roast meats or casseroles, with a vegetarian option always offered.

For a Sunday lunch, expect something more substantial - a roast of the day with all the trimmings, followed by a steamed syrup pudding with custard, perhaps; or, for the more health conscious, a fresh salad followed by a pasta dish.

Evening meals are served from 6:30pm

Traditional favourites, such as Cullen Skink and steamed steak and kidney puddings, along with the likes of honey and ginger roast lamb or beef casseroled in beer, followed by traditional family puddings like crumbles and apple pies or the more unusual and delicious rum baba. But the health conscious and vegetarians are not forgotten with the likes of tagliatelle with spinach gnocchi or a sumptuous vegetable curry on offer.

And why not enjoy a glass of wine or beer with your meal? A small, but well chosen wine list should provide something to suit every palate.

If you have any special requests or dietary requirements then, provided you give us a few days notice, we will do our best to meet them.

Please note, however, that due to the nature of our operations, we can never give a guarantee that any particular item will be totally free from such items as nuts or wheat.

The pictures on this page show the restaurant as it stands today - but this is just one part of the restaurant. We have a second room which we are in the process of refurbishing to open up as a private function room for parties, meetings, seminars, presentations and the like. This should be open later this year.

We are also looking into the possibility of starting up an outside catering service to provide you with buffet meals at the location of your choice, from intimate meals for two up to wedding receptions for two hundred - or more. As with the restaurant, we do not intend to have set menus for these buffets, but will discuss with you what your requirements are and design a menu around you and your budget.
