Dine in the Castle Restaurant

DINING IN A SCOTTISH CASTLE HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER!

The restaurant at Dornoch Castle Hotel is well known for serving local produce and high-quality food with friendly and efficient service.

Our 2025 menus have been created to showcase some of the great local produce in the area. Dornoch Distillery products are present in several dishes across the menu, with local Scottish suppliers such as Tain Fine Cheese, and Cromarty Brewery also featured. Our sides and sharing dishes are perfect for family-style dining, and we also have a small children’s menu.

In the summer months, the restaurant is open daily

↪ LUNCH  Monday to Friday 12-2.30 pm | Saturday-Saunday 12-4.30pm

↪ DINNER Monday to Sunday 6-9 pm.

During the winter months, the restaurant is open daily from 6-8 pm, however, on quieter evenings we serve dinner in the whisky bar.

A sample menu is available to view below.

Fancy a scrumptious pizza in the comfort of your home?

We offer TAKE-AWAY SERVICE from 5 until 9 pm.

Simply stop by, place your order, and while we fire up your pizzas, enjoy a wee drink at our cosy bar or in our charming garden — then take the goodness home!
