Braewick Cafe And - Shetland Islands

It’s more of a good cafe than a restaurant and it is also a caravan and motorhome site plus wigwams colourful wooden weatherproof huts). It’s at Braewick not Brae which is 15 miles south. It has all the facilities that a caravan/ motorhome site needs. Electric hook up, drive over drains, black water disposals, clean water available, good parking surfaces. Problem is it takes a bit of finding these facilities! Even the pitches take a bit of locating as only a couple are numbered. All the rest have been washed off, blown away etc. The showers are looking old and are difficult to manage. There is a playground and the beach is 5 mins walk but bear in mind this is 1000 km north of London, nearest neighbours are Iceland and Norway so the water is refreshing. But the views are spectacular cliffs of red rock and in the sea a set of rock stacks the drongs) look like a Viking longship turned to stone. Wonderful to look at at midnight. You might see Foula, 40 plus km away. There are blow holes through the cliffs, take care. The Northmavine musicians play at Hillswickplus informal dancing for a great night out but it’s a 5 minute drive or an hours walk. Great place just needs an update.

Thank you so much for taking pity on us a making tea and coffee even though you were up to your necks in coach party’s! And all with a smile! Fantastic

Driving out to the lighthouse we decided to call in for a drink but noticed they offered a number of gluten free options so ordered a blt sandwich and tea which was really nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A great place to stop for a meal or snack and take in the spectacular view.

A group of us (6), stopped off at Breawick Cafe for a snack on our way to Eshaness cliffs not long after they had opened one morning. 2 of us had sassermaet rolls which were delicious . 3 of the others had scones which were, according to all of them, very disappointing! Hard and dry were some of the comments. Service was excellent and the view outstanding

OMG. What a difference from our last visit. Great Roast Beef lunch and Sticky Toffee pudding. Despite being very busy, the service was prompt and the food arrived pretty quickly and was nice and hot. Good portion of lovely tender beef and crispy veg. Will be back for our regular visits. Well done Claire and staff
