The Creel Seafood Bar

Selected by WC300 for quality, character and fit with the route
A well-known roadside seafood hut serving freshly prepared local shellfish with views across Loch Creran.

Sitting just off the A828 near Loch Creran, The Creel Seafood Bar is a classic west coast stop for travellers who value fresh food over frills. The menu centres on locally sourced shellfish and simple seafood dishes, prepared to order and served in a relaxed, informal setting.

It’s particularly well suited to the WC300 route because it feels genuinely rooted in place — you’re eating produce from the surrounding waters, often looking straight back across them while you do. Service is friendly and efficient, making it easy to stop without losing momentum on the journey.

For those driving north from Oban or south from Fort William, it’s an ideal lunch or early-afternoon pause that delivers real character without needing a town-centre detour.

Good to know: • Seasonal opening hours — check ahead. • Mostly outdoor seating; dress for the weather. • No bookings; walk-in only. • Excellent stop in fair weather.
