We normally have a Sunday lunch in the Bellachroy when we visit and this year was no exception. My husband is a coeliac and has a very sensitive response to gluten (a breadcrumb can send his temperature rocketing to the point of hospitalisation) so eating out can be a nightmare. No problem here, the gravy is gluten free, there was a gluten free pudding option, they have gluten free beer and they have a special gluten free fryer.
This is one (if not the) best place to eat on Mull and whether you have a coeliac in your party or not I can’t recommend the food & service high enough. As always I would recommend when booking you notify them of allergens but you really can’t go wrong with the Bellachroy. Our picture is of our empty plates and gluten free beer glasses - I think that says it all!

Arrived tired and hungry. We were given a warm welcome and a hearty meal from a great menu
Our hosts, Hannah and Tom, were friendly and welcoming and the food was great value for money and very good, with a well varied menu to choose from. Our compliments to the chef.
Our room was spacious, crisp clean and we were able to relax straight away.
The visitors lounge was an added bonus.
The breakfast is plentiful and well organised
We highly recommend this hotel ****

We have recently enjoyed two delicious evening take-away meals from the Bellachroy - such a great solution to continue to provide meals despite the current restrictions.
Very tasty and generous portions and well priced too.
Thoroughly recommended.

We called ahead to book a table to be advised it was first come first served and no reservations were being taken.
We drove there and went inside, where only one table in the whole place was occupied. We asked for a table for 3 to be told rather rudely that there wasn’t one. I must have looked confused as the lady told me we could sit outside and come back in to order. We found a menu on the wall which was very limited and nothing like the website so we voted with our feet Im afraid.

We planned a visit here during a week long trip on mull as we were staying near by. We called in the afternoon to find they didn’t take booking except for hotel residents. The man we spoke to was really helpful and said that it would be no problem as we were wanting to dine early (6pm) and if we had to wait it would only be a few minutes. We walked to the restaurant to arrive at exactly 6pm as discussed (in heavy rain) to be told they were fully booked for the evening. The girl who opened the door was unapologetic about the situation and didn’t even offer takeaway as an option which we later found out from a neighbour would have been possible. We would not recommend making the effort to visit this place. Very disappointed.

I was on Mull last week for work and on two occassions ordered take away dinners for my team. The staff at the Bellachroy were extremely helpful and altered times for collection and added meals last minute for me. Great accomodating service, Thank you so much we loved the hot food after busy, rainy. long working days.

The setting is lovely and the staff are doing their best to welcome, but steer clear of the food! It's microwave heated and bland, would recommend finding elsewhere to eat. Sparkling water is also flat. Such a shame!

I had the sweet potato and spinach lasagne which came with garlic bread and dressed salad. Had to ask for the dressed salad as it came without. Friend had the fish and chips.
Eating outside means food served in boxes with wooden cutlery.
Friend giving the fish and chips 4/5. Mine? Tasteless stodge. Aye less than half and that was because I was hungry!! Zero out of five. Garlic bread so limp I didn’t even try a bit…. The salad was the best bit apart from not having to cook.

The Bellachroy is our local when we stay here in Dervaig and we’ve seen it change hands many times over the years. Pleased to say, the current owners have a really good thing going.
The bear pit is a really cosy spot for a few pints after a day of exploring and their take away menu is spot on - a limited menu but all very tasty and excellent value for money. Last night we ordered the fish and chips, as well as the macaroni cheese with garlic bread - under £25 for both and huge portions!
Couldn’t recommend enough as a drinking spot and as a local take away - something which is very limited on the island!

What started off to be a promising meal soon turned sour. Starters were lovely, I had the prawn marie rose and my partner had the chicken liver pate. However for main course I ordered the battered haddock and my partner ordered the Thai red curry. The batter on the haddock was rock hard and the chicken in the curry had poor cuts of chicken and few of them at that. We did not finish our main courses. I declined dessert but my partner was still hungry and opted for the mango cheesecake which he said was okay. Good selection of wine. Being locals to the area we will not be rushing back.

We'd visited the Ballachroy last year whilst passing through Dervaig, and had loved the food, the ales, and the ambience. Lovely landlord at that time, and excellent customer service. So we actually chose to stay in Dervaig this year - only to find that the pub had changed hands, and not for the better! The choice of meals for dinner was limited, and not particularly exciting, but we chose the haddock & chips, and a vegetarian pasta dish. The batter on the fish was so hard my partner could barely get his knife through it, and the pasta dish was the most flavourless vegetarian meal I've ever been served in my life! We also ordered some drinks, but the ales were so chilled, they were not at all enjoyable (way too cold for a real ale). Staff didn't seem to understand the problem when we mentioned it to them! This was going to be our "local" for our week's holiday, but we never went back after that first night, and ended up driving to Tobermory instead - such a disappointment.

Very mediocre meal in what could be an experiential olde worlde coach house type of establishment. Microwaved plates of spuds and veg with puff pastry lids plonked on our pies. Beer was warm. Wine almost undrinkable. The only redeeming feature was the pie fillings were pretty good. A lovely setting and premises sadly let down by a complete lack of effort on the food preparation and presentation. Would have stayed on for a couple of drinks but zero atmosphere in the place discouraged us. Won't return or recommend.

We stayed here for two nights and had breakfast both mornings and dinner one night. Well organised breakfast service and everything was good. Dinner was great: venison pie, fish and chips and macaroni cheese - all went down a treat, followed by a good sticky toffee pudding and chocolate torte. Would recommend the hotel and the restaurant!

A very friendly pub/restaurant with a great selection of food and drinks available most evenings. The menu included many gluten free options including gluten free fish and chips which was great for me. My husband enjoyed the mussels which were served with cider and pancetta.
