The Pierhouse,
Port Appin
My Favourite Place
Hidden away in the quiet village of Port Appin, on the shores of Loch Linnhe, surrounded by the spectacular raw beauty of the magnificent west coast of Scotland, you will find The Pierhouse Hotel and Seafood Restaurant. A friendly and relaxed environment where the emphasis is firmly on great food and service in our 2 AA Rosette restaurant. Nestled between Oban to the south and Glencoe to the north there is plenty to see and do in the local area. Or perhaps just relax in front of the fire watching the ferry and yachts passing by whilst drinking in the views across to the Isle of Lismore and the Morvern peninsula beyond.
I am so excited to be going into our third year of collaboration with my friends at the Pierhouse. We are so proud of the experience we have curated and do hope to be able to welcome you here soon.
FORAGE & FEAST
finding - gathering - harvesting - feasting
​
We have dreamed up a spectacular set of events combining the wonderful wild resources of the west coast and the exceptional produce from our wonderful suppliers. I will guide you on a beautiful walk exploring nature’s larder whilst Head Chef Michael will be creating a spectacular completely original buffet lunch from an array of foraged and local ingredients.
Spring Tide – 27th April 2025
Taking advantage of the low spring tide, discover the secrets of the intertidal zone. This will be a wonderful introduction to foraging for seaweeds, coastal plants, seafood and other spring highlights as you investigate the beaches and shallow waters of Loch Linnhe. You will need wellies and a pair of scissors for this experience.
Summer Celebration – 13th July 2025
This is a wonderful time of the year to explore the coast and discover nature’s bounty. Taking in the coast and the hedgerows Lucy will lead you in this investigation of the saltmarsh, edible flowers and late greens.
Autumn Harvest – 28th September 2025
Search the coast and forest to make the most of nature’s bounty during the traditional harvest season. Highlights will include nuts, seeds and berries along with a focus on fungi and edible trees.
Winter Workshop – 9th November 2025
You will be surprised at what is still available from the natural larder during the winter months. This wild food wander will focus on seasonal goodies and preservation techniques.
