The Craypot
Cuisine Good Food Guide Selection
Our verdict
This quirky caravan-style café is worth the drive south for breakfast or lunch to what seems like the end of the earth. The menu offers fresh locally caught seafood when possible, and both the battered fresh blue cod and chips, and classic whitebait are worth ordering. Views from a harbour-side table are distinctive.
