Beverage
Loch Bay is a fully licensed restaurant with an extensive selection of wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks.
We choose not to offer a ‘wine flight’ with our tasting menu for operational reasons, but are happy to help with recommendations for suitable wines either by the glass or bottle. There is no bar area for pre or post-dinner drinks, however the Stein Inn is just a few doors along the road from us.
If you wish to bring your own choice of wine there is a corkage fee of £20.00 per bottle.
Children dining at Loch Bay
Children of all ages are welcome at Loch Bay, however we have only 7 tables (of which only 3 are large enough for a family). There is a minimum charge of £27.50 for children aged 10 and below; children aged 11 and over will be charged full price. We do not have a children’s menu but can prepare smaller portions or simplified dishes if necessary.
Dietary Restrictions
We can cater for dietary restrictions or special diets, whether that is by modifying our lunch/dinner menu or preparing an alternative tasting menu (by advance request only). Please inform us prior to visiting the restaurant of any dietary requirements or restrictions.
Dress Code
Casual is fine – Loch Bay is a relaxed environment.
Dogs
We are unable to allow dogs (other than guide dogs) into the restaurant.
