Free-range and home-made are the watchwords at the Boathouse tearoom beside the Ulva ferry landing, where bread is freshly baked on the premises, the oysters are farmed in a nearby bay, and the prawns, crabs and squat lobsters come from the family fishing boat. Lunch is served from noon to 4pm, and tea, coffee and home baking is available all day.
