    Lovely food but unfortunately, we were given the wrong bill on 2 occasions. First bill came to £70-odd and on checking, pointed out that we had been billed for items we had not ordered or received. When second bill came, the same thing happened When third bill came, this was correct - £53-odd. Quite a difference. I would suggest that anyone going to The Selkie check their bill thoroughly

    Excellent small plates, defo worth a try. I really enjoyed our visit to the Selkie tonight. We had the Seabass, flat iron Steak, gambas pil pil (all good) but special mentions go to the pork belly and Mushrooms in pesto.......flipping YUM!!!!! We were £63 for the 5 dishes, plus olives and a wine so decent value for money. Sorry no photos as we were too busy stuffing our faces. Definitely recommend
