Places to Eat & Drink

Pull up a stool at a cozy Scillonian café or casual shack and enjoy the relaxed island vibe, whether you're savouring fresh seafood or a hearty local dish.

Many spots offer stunning sea views, making it the perfect setting for a sundowner, where you can watch the sunset over the ocean with a refreshing drink in hand. For those who prefer dining under the open sky, al fresco dining is a popular option, with numerous cafés and restaurants offering outdoor seating.

If you're after something more casual, Scilly’s pubs serve up delicious pub grub, from traditional fish and chips to locally sourced produce and locally raised meats. For a laid-back experience, grab a takeaway and head to one of the island’s beautiful beaches to enjoy your meal with the sand between your toes.

Whether you're seeking a gourmet experience or a quick beachside treat, there’s an abundance of food and drink options across the islands to satisfy any craving.

Food & Drink

Nowhere is more local than the food and drink sourced, grown, and reared across our five tiny, inhabited islands.

Food & Drink Producers

On nearly every corner of the islands, you'll find a local farmer, fisherman, fudge maker, baker, brewer, winemaker, and much more.
