35 years too late for me....

Hmm, OK this is going to sound a bit harsh, but I am not surprised. For years the front of house was at the awful end of the "Basil Fawlty" scale of hospitality. We used it irregularly, it could have been a whole lot better. It has a walk in customer base from holiday lets and boats that should make it viable.
Croabh watersports and Lucy's have shown what a bit of flair and imagination can do. They were routinely full on weekdays throughout this summer.
I understand that many of this years issues have been beyond the control of the management, but I hope someone with a bit of imagination can run it properly and successfully in the future.

Huh? You must have been doing something wrong then - if that’s the welcome you got..

She really wasn't pleased to be told that she had got a bill wrong one night, and had undercharged us. Friends showing up for their table as booked at 2030, to be told they were too late to order. I wasn't the only one who wound her up.

I must say I never had any bother with Sebhon & co.

Currently no food at the LOTI because of a lack of a chef. Pints (greatly reduced selection) available at £5 a go, and Scampi Fries at £1.50 a packet (!) - which I reckon works out at just over 1p per kilo-calorie. I went round to the Watersports place on Friday to be advised that food sales had stopped for the season.

"I went round to the Watersports place on Friday to be advised that food sales had stopped for the season."

the same place that shut at the weekends during the summer and at 4pm each day. Wonder if they complain about the difficulties of making a living in the Wild West of Scotland?

You should maybe find out why before spouting off on here...

[Gardenshed]

@wully: hardly "spouting off"
I'm not out to bash local businesses but we wandered round a few times in the summer to see if we could try a paddle board or use the cafe, but the place was always shut. seems strange, especially at the weekends when there were a lot of people around and LOTI was struggling to keep up with demand.
Interested to know why so do let us know

I share your pain.
We are off to Danelandia tomorrow - Hull Rotterdam then the 600 mile rumble up to see the Daughter, the Grandchildren and old Feckless.
So we can't take food containing dairy produce - as veggies that somewhat limits the butty choice.
We will no doubt queue at the quaint little tent on the Danish German border and I just cannot wait to see how much they have got done on the roadworks around Hamburg in the past 12 months
Makes rest and be thankful seem like a walk in the park

How exciting

I miss Denmark... don’t miss the Hamburg road works but hopefully they are complete by now. How long are you staying in the land of the happiest people? (Your presence will no doubt knock the happiness index down a fair bit while your there..) Until Xmas beer day hopefully?

BTW, is vegetarianism even legal in Denmark?

[claymore]

Just there for half term - first time we have been there for 15 months.
They don't understand the concept of veggieness - but I can't understand people eating eels and pickled herring so that makes us even.

The happiest people thing is a myth as you know wullyum - they just go for mediocrity and so kid themselves on that they are equal and therefore happy.
