Rafters - Argyll Bute

We found this place totally by accident but what a find it’s next to Sween Castle I had the Cullen Skink and my other half had the Caesar Salad both were delicious It’s adjacent to the holiday park The decor is lovely and we got a warm welcome I highly recommend this place

The food was delicious with a wide variety of options, although there could be more choices for vegetarians. The service was good and we enjoyed the music selection. However, we were informed that the restaurant was busy and had limited booking times available. Surprisingly, the restaurant was not full during our two-hour visit, with only eighteen people present over three hours.

My favourite music was playing as I drank my favourite ale and had a superb meal in my favourite place. The Brulo Sabro Galaxy no alcohol beer is the most delicious no alcohol beer we have ever tried and The Trail Finder on draught is the most perfect ale imaginable. The food was absolutely superb and the service was relaxed and friendly. I've going to Rafters since 1987 and the food has never been so good. The team are doing a brilliant job and I can't wait to back. Perfect.

Well worth a visit, Rafters offers relaxed dining with a varied menu to suit most tastes and budgets. I had scallops with haggis crumb starter followed by fresh mackeral fillet in Korean style sauce, on tosted sourdough topped with poached egg and avocado. Both courses delicious. My wife loved the more conventional home made steak pie. Also open for lunch and afternoon tea, coffee, drinks etc.

Rafters has truly surprised us with their delicious food. Kirsten and Bobby have put in a lot of hard work to make Rafters a go-to spot for a fantastic meal. We tried a variety of dishes from their concise menu and they were all exceptional. The service is friendly and the beer selection, especially Fyne Ales, is top-notch. Definitely a place worth visiting if you're in the area, and worth going out of your way for if you're not. Well done Castle Sween!
