The unforeseen circumstances will take longer than expected, what means the mustard shack is back on duty but in a slightly different position.

The flags will easily show where. And there is enough room to park. So don't park in the passing place because it is what the word says... to PASS!!! Please use the parking space.

Thanks a lot for your understanding.💛

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the mustard shack is still not in use again. I apologise if this causes you any inconvenience.

Remember, if you come down south for your mustard supplies you can still get it Harris community co-op and in the in deli Isle of Harris Brewery.

Last Tuesday, your mustard maker was invited by Women Together / Boireannaich Còmhla to give a talk about mustard.

After an insight into the plant's 3,000-year history and its various uses, I explained the differences between English, French, American and German mustards, and where Mustheb sits within this spectrum.

Then it was time to tuck in! The magic Mustheb butter, mustard cheddar muffins and mustard ice cream were sampled.

Thank you very much for having me Women Together Boireannaich Comhla Isle of Harris, it was a pleasure!

Some foundation work is currently being carried out in the Glen, so the mustard shack will have to be moved for a few days. If you're travelling south to get some mustard, find it at Harris community co-op An Clachan and the deli at the Isle of Harris Brewery.

Stay tuned to find out what happens next.

What a weekend that was, but only one minor power cut. The mustard shack was given some good shakes but no damages. Have a good start in a more or less blustery week.

What a brilliant day at the Hebridean Fine Food and Drink Festival at Stornoway Town Hall.

Splendid cooking demonstrations from super talented chefs and cocktail demos from the islands distilleries.

A huge thank you to the 'mustard apprentice' :-) Sutherland. You did an amazing job. We sampled 150 portions of a carrot and cabbage salad (made with Bonnie Wholegrain), veggie bites with Taste of India and mustard sprouts. All mustards were on offer for tastings and it was lovely chatting to everyone and share the mustard love.

It was great to catch up with all the other local businesses and watching Isle Coffee Company on their brilliant kick-off ... oh and The Hebridean Mustard Maker met the Hebridean Baker (but this deserves an extra posting) ;-)

Another well organized event. Chapeau: Julie and Visit Outer Hebrides.

Here we have my friend Irene, who most of you know because she transforms Harris Tweed selvedges into amazing usable new products. She brought Ginni (who took the pic) and Andy to the mustard shack. Andy Chung is an Edinburgh based 🎶 singer songwriter, and how lucky we are that he is playing a gig this night Tigh mo Sheanar Bar in Tarbert. 💛

Liquorice in mustard? Oh no, that's awful, I hear some of you say. It's awesome, says your mustard maker, and does it again and again. Here we have filo pastry filled with feta cheese and Sláinte liquorice.

Can't be done?
There is no such thing!

After all the rain and wind, it looks like the sheep are finally getting some rest.

15/09/2025

After a lot of rain and the first storms with gusts up to 72 mph, your mustard maker decided to take down the mustard tasting tent for the season. It's started its well-deserved hibernation a little earlier this year.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone I was able to share my mustard passion. It was such a pleasure to welcome you 💛

The Mustard Shack is, as always, well-stocked, open all year round and looks forward to your visit.
