Food and Drink at The Stromness Hotel

Experience the finest dining options in Stromness, inspired by Orkney's rich heritage

Scapa Flow Restaurant at The Stromness Hotel

Scapa Flow Restaurant - Fine Dining in Stromness

Nestled in the charming coastal town of Stromness, the Scapa Flow Restaurant at The Stromness Hotel offers a dining experience inspired by Orkney's rich maritime heritage. Named after the famous natural harbour nearby, the restaurant celebrates local flavours and seasonal produce, all served in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Diners can enjoy stunning views over Stromness Harbour while savouring hearty dishes in a traditional setting.

The restaurant's namesake, Scapa Flow, is a vast, sheltered body of water in the Orkney Islands with deep historical significance. It served as the Royal Navy's chief base during both World Wars and was the site of the dramatic scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet in 1919. Today, Scapa Flow is renowned for its shipwrecks, making it a world-class diving destination. The restaurant pays homage to this legacy, blending Orkney's seafaring past with its vibrant food culture for a truly memorable dining experience.

The Flattie Tea Room at The Stromness Hotel

The Flattie Tea Room at The Stromness Hotel - Charming Café in Stromness

Nestled in the heart of Orkney's historic harbour town, The Flattie Tea Room offers a cosy retreat where tradition meets warm hospitality. Named after the iconic flattie, a traditional Orkney rowing boat once commonly used in Stromness, our tea room pays homage to the town's rich maritime heritage. These sturdy, flat-bottomed boats were essential for fishing and transport in the shallow waters around the islands, embodying the resilience and craftsmanship of Orkney's seafaring past.

Today, The Flattie Tea Room invites you to relax with freshly baked treats, artisan teas, and locally sourced delights, all served in a charming setting that reflects Stromness's timeless character. Whether you're stopping in for a leisurely afternoon tea or a quick cuppa, we welcome you to savour a taste of Orkney in a place steeped in history.

The Hanover Coffee Lounge at The Stromness Hotel

The Hanover Coffee Lounge at The Stromness Hotel - Relaxed Coffee Experience in Stromness

Nestled in the heart of Stromness, the Hanover Coffee Lounge offers a warm and inviting retreat where guests can enjoy freshly brewed coffee, homemade cakes, and light refreshments in a charming historical setting. The lounge's elegant yet relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to unwind, whether you're a hotel guest or a visitor exploring Orkney's picturesque second town.

Like the Scapa Flow Restaurant and the Flattie Tea Room, the name Hanover pays homage to Stromness's rich maritime heritage. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the town was a vital port for ships sailing between Britain and North America, particularly those of the Hudson's Bay Company. Many of these vessels were named after the House of Hanover, the royal dynasty that ruled Great Britain at the time.
