As usual, the food, service and ambience of The Stack was excellent. There was a lovely ambience from both staff and diners in this little gem in a picturesque village on the coastline with its dramatic views. We just love dining at The Stack.

Surprisingly quiet for. Fri lunch but we weren’t complaining. The be waiter did brilliantly getting drinks, taking orders, answering the phone and serving food all with a great attitude to customers. Food was very good with a large helping of fish for my wife and a very good burger that lacked a bit of thought or imagination to add to the ‘presentation’ with say some salad or coleslaw rather than just burger and fries on the plate. Cullen skink was awesome though and my wife’s rice pudding desert superb. We’ll definitely be back soon.
