All food and drink is freshly prepared for you. Cakes are homemade, pancakes are freshly prepared and all meat is locally sourced from Greenlees Butchers in Lochinver. All our eggs are free range from local chickens (including my own).
Our coffee upgrade was a great success and we will now only be offering a quality product for coffee drinkers and everyone else. The Little Coffee Bag Co will be supplying us with their excellent coffee bags. If you want more information on this fantastic product then please click on the link above. There will be 2 standard blends and a decaf available - but for the real coffee fiends amongst you, a Jamaican Blue Mountain bag will be on sale! Imagine drinking a world class coffee while watching a whale swim past!
This year we also be offering an 'Early Bird Deal' - which means any food or drink served before 10.30am gets a 25% discount. This is particularly aimed at the overnight campers but anyone arriving early can benefit.
We may not always have what you want, but we hope you always want what we have.

Other stuff
In addition to the food and drink the tea van also sells its own unique postcards of the area featuring Stoerhead Lighthouse and the Old Man of Stoer. Also available is a 'Guide to Stoerhead', which is a printed version of a lot of what is on this website. This is full of great photos of what you will see on your walk, its free to customers of the van and 50p to non-customers.
We are also an informal visitor information centre - there is a box at the van that you are welcome to look through. It contains reference books to help ID birds, flowers and other wildlife in addition to containing many leaflets to other attractions. You are welcome to help yourself to the leaflets but please leave the books for others to use and enjoy.
All books in the box are available from Achins Bookshop in Inverkirkaig.

Wacky Midge Nets and Fridge Magnets
Wacky Midge Nets - fight those midges in style!
In 2014 we introduced a new range of wacky, individual and hand-made midge nets!
Anyone who has visited our corner of Scotland in the summer knows that the only negative thing is on a calm day the midges can strike at any time! So be ready to fight them (or at least protect your head) with your own unique style - the Wacky Midge Net. These quirky and unique midge nets are all handmade by me and only available to purchase at the tea van. There are currently 15 different designs. One size fits all and they are available at the very reasonable price of just £10 each.
This season the number of nets available will be limited so if you want one snap them up while they are here. Or order one for next year, or as a Christmas present and it will be posted out to you after the end of the summer season - details for this will be available at the van over the summer.
In addition to our successful and popular Midge Nets we are now selling homemade fridge magnets with the popular designs of Highland Coo, Sheep and Whale. Great as a gift to take home or as a reminder of your holiday. All come in their own gift bag and are just £5 each.
