Unearthing our Island’s Ancient History

Here, we are surrounded by history going back about 12,000 years. So, today we’re looking at ancient Islay history and fascinating Scottish archaeological finds.

Doing Business on Islay

The island of Islay in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland welcomes business travellers all year round. Here at Peatzeria, we often serve up lunches and dinners for local companies and their guests.

Centenary of the Tuscania and Otranto Shipwrecks

This year is very poignant, as we mark one hundred years since the end of the First World War. One of the bloodiest wars in world history. And here on Islay, we mark the centenary of the sinking of troopships Tuscania and Otranto.

Peatzeria's Gluten Free Pizza

Here at Peatzeria, we try our hardest to cater for all dietary requirements. Our delicious gluten-free pizza is a very popular option, with many of our diners saying they can’t tell the difference between our gluten-free and regular pizzas.

Islay Whiskies to try at Peatzeria Restaurant

Islay is famous for whisky and there are many distilleries here. Our small island is the perfect location for producing rich, smoky, peaty whiskies. This is due to the abundance of peat we have in the ground, which gives Islay whiskies their signature flavour. It’s why we’re called Peatzeria after all!

Nichol Wheatley Artwork at Peatzeria

The incredibly talented Scots artist Nichol Wheatley creates beautiful artwork all over Scotland. Public areas, hotels, bars and restaurants across the country are adorned with his contemporary wall art and paintings. And now, you can see his work at our very own Peatzeria Restaurant in Islay.

Reducing our Plastic Footprint

Humans have been producing plastic waste for over a hundred years, and the effects on the environment are becoming more and more apparent as time goes by. Much of the plastic we throw away ends up as tiny fragments in the sea. An estimated eight million metric tons of it every single year!

Wild Swimming on Islay

Wild swimming in Scotland can be a wonderful experience. And especially just now in our exceptionally hot summer of 2018, many are looking for somewhere to cool down…

Happy 1st Birthday!

It is our Islay Restaurants birthday! Happy 1st Birthday Peatzeria! So come along and join in the celebrations with us to mark the 1st anniversary of our wonderful Pizzeria, Peatzeria!
