Award winning locally caught fish and chips. Grab a takeaway or eat in at our local chippy. Try out some of our local seafood and homemade cakes for afterwards. My children particularly enjoy the bairn’s box and shmoo milkshakes.

The woods and voe near Voxter House make a great play area for children. There are rope swings in the trees and den building to do, as well as wading in the water and climbing trees. Bring wellington boots and a change of clothes.
