Kintyre has a wealth of high quality local produce which can be easily sourced from Balinakill. Deliveries of fish, shellfish, organic meat and locally grown vegetables can be arranged for those who prefer to self-cater.

Clachan village store is happy to take orders in advance for fresh and non-perishable goods, beers, wines and spirits.

Our local brewery, Fyne Ales, can also deliver a barrel of real ale prior to your arrival (pipes in the bar) in order to give it time to settle.

Alternatively, Balinakill offers a choice of 6 local outside catering agencies who provide a full range of catering services from breakfasts, light lunches and buffets to formal 5 course dinners and celebration banquets. Just let us know what you are looking for and we will happily provide a selection of sample menus from which you can choose. During your stay you can arrange for all meals to be provided, opt for one special celebratory meal, choose to be fully self catering or opt for a combination of both. Alternatively, there are many excellent local restaurants, cafes and hotels, some of which we have listed below.
