As the sun begins to dip over the East Mainland of Orkney and the sea beyond Copinsay glows with the colours of a northern sunset, a special evening experience awaits at Deerness Distillery.
The Dashing Deer Kitchen & Bar has quickly become one of Orkney’s most distinctive dining destinations, combining exceptional local food, handcrafted drinks, and breath taking coastal views in a setting unlike any other.

Surrounded by the sights and aromas of a working distillery, diners can enjoy a unique connection between the food on their plate and the award-winning spirits crafted just metres away.
Our evening menu celebrates the best of Orkney’s natural larder.

Every plate tells a story of Orkney’s landscapes, coastline, and farming heritage.
To accompany your meal, our bar offers an extensive selection of handcrafted cocktails featuring Deerness Distillery’s award-winning spirits, including Sea Glass Gin, Into The Wild Vodka, Deer Sound Blended Scotch Whisky, and the multi-gold award-winning Orcadian Moon Coffee Liqueur.
