The Old Hall Cafe — Restaurant in Scotland

On our grand tour through Scotland, we popped in here just before closing to see if we could get a sandwich for take away. No sandwiches were listed on the menu, though the pizza list and the ones he was putting in the oven looked delicious.

The place was absolutely packed, and the chef was not only taking orders, but doing the cooking. He gave us a warm greeting and then went to put in some pizzas. We could see that we were probably not in the right place, at the right time. No fault to them , simply the circumstances at the moment. So, we slipped out quietly, and as we were heading to our car, he happened to see us out the window of the kitchen.

He called out, “is everything OK? “

We explained that it was and that we could see he was super busy and we just wanted to grab a sandwich. He told us come back in. I’ll make sure you get taken care of.

Even though he was slammed, he took the time to put us together a couple of lovely sandwiches, a hot coffee and tea, so that we could head on our way.

Though the sandwiches were very simple, they were delicious. The five stars really is for this wonderful man’s amazing service and attentiveness to the needs of his customers. By the way, the pizzas looked wonderful. They had super thin crust and were much larger than I would’ve expected for the prices he was charging.

Business owners like this deserve to be recognized, and this gentleman is outstanding! If his food is as good as his service, and to be much more than that, he deserves every recognition he could...

I’d read the reviews and thought that, perhaps, the pizzas were being ‘talked up’. Some people remarked that the pizzas were the best they’d ever had. That’s quite a statement! In a world of superlatives and hyperbole, I thought we’d just give it a try: we were just looking for takeout pizza after a day out. We arrived at 5 and were the first customers - they’d not even turned on the lights! We were invited to find a seat; asked to pick what we wanted and to relax while the pizzas were made from scratch. The chef was very friendly and made lots of suggestions about how to make my cheese-free pizza more interesting. Whilst the pizzas baked, he came out for a chat. It was an enjoyable wait. There is a wait: 35 minutes from entering; but the food was cooked on order. Now for the food - it was the best pizza I’d had since pizza from a Rome (Italy) pizza shop, several decades ago. I’m not making this up: the pizza is a very light, thin crust pizza, and the tomato sauce is sublime. Freshly chopped vegetables; generous. Delicious! Now I have talked up the food. Sorry! This place will definitely be returned to next year by me and my equally impressed family. £10 a pizza is...

I've just been in for Pizza & I've got to say... it was hands down one of the most delicious Pizzas I've ever had in my 46 years of life.! 100% hand made from scratch with quality ingredients, a delicious thin base that was generously topped & sized. I asked "How much".? & I was told £10.!. When I asked.. "How big are they".? I was asked in return... "How big do you want it".? Well, that's just a fantastic thing for a larger gentleman to hear.!!! 😉👍.! He literally made me a square pizza that only just fit into the box.!!! FANTASTIC.!!! The atmosphere is also very nice, it's eclectic, homey, snug & relaxing with a selection of armchairs, seats & tables with musical instruments laying around, a bookcase & an open log fire invitingly blazing away. A wonderfully inviting place to escape the notorious Scottish weather.! And finally, the owner & cook Stephen is what I'd simply call "a thoroughly nice bloke".!! Endlessly helpful, accommodating & friendly... Exactly the right man for the job.! He's turned the old village hall into a thriving asset to not only himself, but to the entire village of Kinlochewe.! I cannot recommend his cafe...
