Golspie has only a few places to eat in the evening; at the time of writing there are only a couple of places where it is possible to dine indoors. In common with other locations in The Highlands, staff shortages have left businesses struggling to keep up with demand; regrettably those same businesses are forecasting similar difficulties for the peak season in 2023. We recommend early booking at all the establishments listed below in order to avoid disappointment. Where applicable, take away establishments are listed accordingly.
