Have a go guessing where this photograph was taken. It was a nice sandy beach on a dull day.
Another where am I?

Pierowall Westray?

I was going to say that, too. My wife refers to it as Pierohell due to the wind and horizontal rain.

Is there a pub or restaurant, it looks bleak in that photo?

It's Caithness. Of course it looks bleak.
It's a harbour not usually seen by those who think "round Britain" means the Caledonian Canal.

There's a pub up the hill in the town, maybe a km. from the harbour, but ALL uphill. The pub wasn't in any CAMRA guide, and won't ever be, and is best described as 'honest & unpretentious'.
When I was last there, 2015 I think, there was a changing room with shower, as well as a decent cafe at the museum by the harbour. The folks there were extremely helpful, and it couldn't be faulted really for anything, but only being a few miles South of Wick does give it a challenge given the facilities available in Wick.

Better than that, there is a crab processing plant beside the harbour where you can buy crab ready prepared in any quantity and there are local fishing boats you can buy fresh fish from. One small launch came in and I assisted it into its berth. There were 15 lobsters walking arouns with their claws secured and I very nearly bought one, but he was happy to sell the lot to me. One visiting yacht bought all 13 he had one day to feed the crew of 6 people. Who wants a restaurant with food as fresh as this?
