We'd heard that the Kirkwall Hotel did the best food on the island and as my birthday co-incided with our stay on the islands we decided to celebrate by dining in style. You can't miss this place by the way, it's one of the first things you see as you step off the boat at Kirkwall harbour and look into town.

The food did turn out to be superb but alas the service left a bit to be desired which I was suprised at considering the repuatation of the place. My hot chocolate was served to me in a teapot if that gives any indication of the kind of thing I am talking about. A cup of tea was ordered later and that came sans milk or sugar. It was a case of just laughing off these inadequacies though because the chef definetely deserved our compliments. They even forgot to charge us for dessert which is always nice so I'm not complaining too much ;-)
