Menu

On this webpage, you will find the full menu of Smithfield from Orkney Islands. Currently, 46 dishes and drinks are available.

Tucked away just off the main road, the Smithfield Hotel offers a blend of charm and nostalgia with its simple, dated decor and welcoming atmosphere. Guests rave about the delicious food, highlighting dishes like baked camembert, scallops, and a fantastic Sunday roast. The spacious dining area provides a relaxed setting, complemented by friendly, albeit youthful, staff. With a solid selection of beers and wines, it's ideal for those seeking a casual yet fulfilling meal. Though the hotel’s age shows, and some service could be improved, the overall experience leaves patrons eager to return, making it a worthy stop in Orkney.

Was Anonym at Smithfield a mag?
Whenever my wife and I visit family in Dounby we dine in this excellent restaurant. On Sunday they do a first class and very tasty Roast Beef lunch with all the trimmings. A very good selection of beers and wines are on offer. Service is very good and their prices are very reasonable indeed. Should you be in Orkney on vacation or for any other reason, I recommend that you dine in this splendid restaurant. View all feedback.

What Revatron dislikes about Smithfield:
We popped in for lunch and the place was empty which was nice as we had the cafe porch to ourselves. Service was good but the menu is strange. The orkney steak burrito is NOT a burrito. It is a wrap, served mildly warm but (certainly not hot) with a side salad and crisps. A burrito is a flour or corn tortilla wrapped around beef/chicken, rice, cheese, avocado, sour cream etc. Don’t be fooled by this if you actually w... View all feedback.

I discovered this gem of a restaurant, especially on Mondays. The staff gave us a warm welcome and the lunch menu was delicious. I highly recommend trying the scara bray burger or the scallops. They also offer a variety of dairy and gluten-free options.

This review is for a somewhat secluded and outdated pub and hotel. While we did not stay overnight, we did have a drink in the bar. The staff were friendly enough and the bar had a pool table, two darts boards, and simple furniture. The seating included nice old church pews. There is plenty of parking available at the back of the establishment and it is located just off the main road.

We loved this restaurant so much that we ended up going back twice. The fillet steak was amazing and the onion rings were the best I've ever had. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

Beautifully cooked steaks, scallops etc. (We ate there twice). Very good service. My review seems to have gone on hotel page; we did not stay there. Just in case, I’ve reviewed again as the Smithfield deserves the 5* rating!

Stopped in to the cafe for lunch last week and it was fabulous. All freshly made and delicious. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Will be back for lunch and also to have dinner in the restaurant.
