Our Story

est 2016

The History

The Wymer family bought the derelict Caithness Pottery building in 2015 & with the help of wonderful local tradespeople & countless hours of renovation, Stacks opened exactly a year later. We built it using reclaimed materials, upcycled products & a big dollop of passion. Oh...& some hot chocolate to get us through the winter months!

​

So who runs the joint? Mother & Daughter team, Teresa & Rebecca...

​

Teresa ran a 5-star bed & breakfast for 10 years & before that was a professional cake decorator, all whilst home educating both her kids. She runs the front of house team & is easy to spot in her flamboyant trousers!

​

Rebecca left school & worked as a pastry chef throughout

Scotland for 6 years, now running Stacks' happy & creative kitchen.

They are both passionate about nutrition, good quality

ingredients & the health of the next generation.

Fresh is best!

Our Ethos

We put the health & wellbeing of all our team first & always will: you can’t make happy food with sad & hungry staff!

As a family business our opening hours & serving times are all proudly designed with the health & work/life balance of the team in mind.

​

Stacks encourages youngsters to enjoy working in hospitality, seeing it as a skilled career, not a stop-gap low level job. Our team, including management, all muck in together & share jobs equally.

 

All our food is made fresh, to order and in-house with lots of creative licence! Comfort food takes time, but it's worth the wait! Menus are seasonal to keep the very best on the plate all year round.

​

Food waste is a major problem in Scotland & we are proud of

our less than 5% rate, reducing our impact on the big rock we call home.

 

Stacks was created to offer a warm space for everything from business meetings, a celebration dinner or just a cup of coffee with your four-legged friend!
