To secure a reservation at Loch Bay, prepayment of the menu is required. We operate a 48-hour cancellation policy. The prepayment is fully refundable in the event of cancellation up to 48 hours before the reservation time. In the event of cancellation within 48 hours of the reservation time, the prepayment will be refunded if we are able to re-sell the table.
Due to the nature and specific content of our menu, Loch Bay is not a suitable destination for anyone who can not, or does not, eat all varieties of shellfish and fish. Alternative menus are not available, and all requests for specific dietary requirements must be made before the time of booking confirmation to avoid any disappointment. We do not offer any alternative menus to our ‘Skye Fruits De Mer’.
Casual is fine – Loch Bay is a relaxed environment.
