The Isle of Skye’s favourite brunch spot, Café Cùil, will re-open its doors for the 2024 season this coming weekend and, to celebrate, has partnered up with its island neighbours, the Isle of Raasay Distillery.
The café and the distillery will work together to host a series of collaborative supper clubs throughout the year, while a new menu of distillery-inspired drinks and dishes will also feature on the spring menu at the café.
The first supper-club, ‘The Spirit of Spring’ dinner, will take place at the café on Saturday 23rd March, with a four course dinner with paired serves and drams by the Raasay Distillery team.
Founded by Skye native and Gaelic speaker, Clare Coghill, Café Cùil draws inspiration from the wild and natural larder that the Hebridean island has to offer, using locally-sourced, sustainable ingredients.
The distillery is based on the neighbouring island of Raasay, which is just a short ferry journey from Sconser on Skye. Clare has been working with the makers of award-winning whisky and gin since she opened her business, and they share the same ethos of using the best local ingredients, with Clare foraging for her menu and the distillery inspired by location, distilled, matured, bottled and shipped from the island, with all products using water drawn from their own well on site.
