CAFÉ | Lochbuie | oldpostofficelochbuie.co.uk
You can’t miss the Old Post Office Tearoom on a trip to the Isle of Mull; a family run café and farm shop serving up delicious seafood, homemade cakes and great coffee with a breathtaking view over the bay at Lochbuie. Cosy up inside the café on a rainy day, or sit outside on the picnic tables to really marvel at the view — with deep blue waters and grassy peaks towering above.
The menu changes daily and features the likes of langoustines with a Marie Rose sauce, smoked salmon and trout salad, homemade soup and mushroom stroganoff. Cakes will easily tempt you as well, with traditional bakes like ginger bread, date slice and chocolate brownies. The Old Post Office uses Argyll Coffee to make delicious hot drinks while in the fridge there is a great selection of cold, refreshing drinks as well. You can also pick up some meat from the estate, milk or homemade ready meals from the Lochbuie Larder, with the likes of Lochbuie wild venison lasagne, Shellfield Farm burnt aubergine chilli and chocolate orange brioche pudding for dessert.
I’d recommend travelling down to the Old Post Office for lunch then visiting Laggan Sands to really make the most of a day at Lochbuie, a beautiful, secluded corner of the Isle of Mull.
Getting there: The Old Post Office Tearoom is situated at the end of the Lochbuie Road. Turn left off the main Craignure to Bunessan road, continue along this windy road until you get to the village of Lochbuie (this is not really a village, more a group of houses spread out over 1 mile). When you get to the sea – the Old Post Office is on your right hand side and there is lots of parking to the left of the main road.
