The Old Butchers Lochcarron

The Old Butchers Lochcarron, 2025/26 Good Food Award winner – Blue Ribbon.

Nestled in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, The Old Butchers in Lochcarron is a delightful fusion of café, gallery, and community hub. Housed in a lovingly restored former butcher’s shop, this charming venue offers a tranquil retreat for locals and travellers exploring the scenic Wester Ross region.

The café serves up a thoughtful menu of light meals, homemade cakes, and quality coffee, with vegan options available. The emphasis is on freshly produced soups, scones, cakes and pastries served in a cosy and creative environment.

Beyond the food, The Old Butchers doubles as a gallery space showcasing local landscape photography, calendars, and handmade crafts. The atmosphere is relaxed and dog-friendly, with indoor and outdoor seating that makes the most of its picturesque setting by the sea.

The Old Butchers is more than just a café—it’s a celebration of Highland hospitality, creativity, and slow living.
