Buckie Farm in Aberdeen City

My husband and I went for a meal on Friday evening with our daughter, son in law and baby grandson. We ate from the Festive Menu. My husband and I had lPrawn Cocktail" as starters. This consisted of 3-4 tiny, white looking prawns, some limp lettuce, a couple of spoonfuls of tasteless sauce and a half slice of very cheap white bread - despite the menu describing the bread as "multigrain farmhouse bread". It was, quite frankly, appalling. Our daughter's "Chicken Gift Stack Burger" - described as two Southern fried chicken breasts drizzled with cranberry sauce and crowned with a Mozzarella & Camembert cheese bite and a hand rolled pig in blanket, was actually a tired looking bun with two very burnt chicken goujons and a handful of soggy chips. I felt really disappointed for her. Festive? I don't think so! I doubt we'll be back.

Quit when we went in ,food and service great

Been many times and always get great service from Marjory and the rest of the staff. They're always friendly and attentive. Sometimes food can be a little overdone hence 4 stars.

Had from pick and mix menu and all dishes were lovely. Staff all friendly and attentive.

Nice friendly welcome, 2 adult breakfasts and a childs, food good, nice and fresh, reasonable priced.

Good price but low quality breakfast

Always good food and friendly staff

Had a lovely carvery breakfast here on 10th October, service couldn’t have been better, sat on for a further two lattes, and chat with my sister and was no hurry to move either, warm and cosy. Girls in particular were marjory and I think Michelle . Will be back again

Very delicious food and good price. They give you 3 types of meat and then various illuminated contours to your liking. Super recommended

Great carvery as usual. Marjory was attentive and friendly.

I would not say it was value for money It was bland If it wasn't for pouring gravy over it then it was close to being cold Food ok just not hot enough for me Had better from this establishment

Marjory looked after us really well. Friendly and good service.

Mi hermana y yo fuimos a almorzar y no nos decepcionó. Teníamos los nachos y las tiras de pollo que eran increíbles! Las tiras de pollo eran muy crujientes y frescas. Luego tuvimos la pizza de filete de queso filosofal y fue mi favorita de todas. La salsa de queso nachos en la parte superior es muy buena y la corteza era crujiente y delgada. Lo recomendaría encarecidamente ya que el personal era muy amable y el servicio era bueno. No esperamos mucho tiempo para nuestra comida y en general increíble!

Good meal but they forgot the roast potatoes

Veo un montón de críticas negativas aquí, que es una pena y no indicativo de mi visita. No planeado Acabo de llegar al pasar y tengo que decir que el desayuno era absolutamente lugar en. Todo parecía precioso con una gran selección, todo recién cocinado, todo caliente y muy delicioso. Me encantó y gran relación calidad-precio también. Personal muy servicial y educado. Definitivamente volveré. PS. No tengo ninguna conexión o afiliación con Buckie Farm... sólo un cliente bien satisfecho.

Good food good service can't complain

ordered the large carvery with extra meat but the tiniest portion of beef was in there. barely any meat at all really so pretty disappointing

Food was good and staff is great so welcoming. Brilliant place for kids

Loved the hospitality of Michelle. Good service and friendly. The food is great as well!!

Server Michelle was very nice and helpful. Great service

Food was really lovely, staff very kind and catered to special requests and food was very quick to arrive. Been here a few times and will continue to come back.

Great food and great staff will definitely be back :)

Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was great had the carvery Elderflower long drink

Wonderful service very friendly

Tired surroundings and needs cash spent on improvements and entry area looks bad. However food is very good and staff are excellent. Try to see beyond the building as food and staff worth it.

Great food and great staff. Always feel welcomed.

Evil place and evil people. The business is going down so they are trying to make an extra buck on parking fees. Very sad.

Good price, fab food, very friendly staff

Quality is long gone. I thought that it was a one off, returned a second time but the carvery is dry and small in portions. The fish and chips burnt again, dry inside and very greasy... Last time, sorry, I can't recommend this place. It used to be much better many years ago.

Asked for No Veg and came loaded with Veg

Verdaderamente terrible, un establecimiento sucio tan deteriorado. Llegó a las 18: 30 ordenó el carvery en la asombrosa £ 15. 99 ! ! ! Luego fue a buscar comida. Solo quedó gammon que era insípido y duro. Nada de patatas asadas, verduras frías. Es horrible. El chef nos cocinó más patatas asadas, pero todavía estaban crudas. Solo una comida horrible

Difficult to mark atmosphere high as we went early but food was great and staff helpful. On issue are the sticky tables... It's weird, they said it's the cleaning stuff they use but, can't be diluted correctly then...

Extremely poor service resulting in us leaving after an hour without our food. And poor standards of cleanliness observed.

Came for breakfast on the weekend. 2nd time I've been here and both times the staff were super friendly and helpful. Good value for what you're paying, IMO. Michelle helped us during this visit and was very kind and attentive. Will likely return. Lots of seating and a good place to get some work done during the morning during the week as it's relatively quiet.

Updated review 24/8/24 : went tonight, first thing I heard walking in was someone getting a refund, never a good start, second was another couple saying "well just go to dtce farm" should have taken there advice... Ordered on the app as usual. 15 minutes for drinks to arrive, then food 5 mins later, both incorrect and the chips were cremated, tried to get the waitresses attention and she shouted "it's just coming" as she scuttled passed, she came back about 5 minutes later with a camembert, I asked what it was as we hadn't ordered it and also to talk about my initial complaint when I had tried to get her attention 5 minutes previous. She went and got the manageress, who came over asking if everything was ok with out meal... Clearly not being the waitress just told you I'd complained... 25 minutes from ordering, 2 out of 3 mains had arrived and we're inedible, but my daughter's main hadn't arrived (this is apparently the camembert) , they had no recorded of her ordering Mac and cheese with a side of chicken bites... Got a refund for the scampi, then came back with my daughter's Mac cheese, which had clearly been microwaved in a rush, no dough balls on the side like there was supposed to be and the side portion of chips, which were also overdone to the point of inedible, in the end asked for a full refund, won't be back in a hurry. Absolute shambles from start to finish! Oh and another thing... Cash refund for a card paid app order... As "it takes 3 days to go back into your card, cash is easier as I've done it now" as if people's aren't used to a 3-5 days for a card refund... Absolute joke

Marjory dealt with our complaint like a champ. The nicest lady ever! Served by Moira who was also lovely. Marjory gave my mum a glass of water about a month ago after seeing that she wasn’t feeling great. Thanks Marjory!

Michelle served us today and she was a delight, very friendly and attentive. The buffet was amazing.

Brilliant food and service was lovely , thank you Michelle

Fui con mi esposa y mi hija, ambas tomaron una hamburguesa que disfrutaron. Desafortunadamente elegí el pescado rebozado a mano, que es la porción más pequeña y delgada que me han servido, cómo nunca se deslizó a través de la red nunca lo sabré. Tengo mis dudas de si era eglefino o bacalao, también venía con la piel en la que es inusual en Escocia. Más tarde me dijeron que han cambiado de proveedor. El personal era agradable, pero el servicio era lento. Tendremos que pensarlo dos veces antes de volver.

Breakfast with wife before work. Food was great and good variety in the buffet. Michelle our server was attentive and friendly.

Michelle gave amazing service Thank you

The dish could have been hotter. Pizza ok, but not seasoned.

We went in for breakfast on a Thursday morning, which is help yourself and all you can eat. Unlimited tea served by Michelle who was very attentive and chatty. Great value for money, good selection of items and not super busy. Would come again if we're back up this way.

We visited yesterday evening around 6.30pm for a carvery. There was hardly any meat left and when questioned the server just shrugged and said it was all they had left that day. The food was cold and the roast potatoes tasted like they had been reheated before putting them out. I eventually managed to get the attention of a waitress and explained that the meal was cold so would like a refund - which I got. We last visited in June 2023 and it was lovely then but seems to have gone downhill in the last year. Very disappointing! We won't be visiting next year when we come to Aberdeen to visit family and certainly won't be recommending to anyone.

We went here for my sons 2nd birthday as just wanted a low key relaxing meal..... we waited 30 mins for our meal and the place wasn't busy at all. More frustrating was that there were plenty of staff but they all seemed to be standing around with very little to do. It was clear when our food arrived that it had been sitting for a while as it was cold. My son had the pizza which was tasty.... however there was only cheese and sauce on a very small part of it in the middle. My daughters kids meal of fish fingers looked pretty grim on the plate and the fish fingers were limp and soggy. My burger was the worst of all as it literally tasted like a rustlers burger and the bottom burger was very undercooked. I had 2 bites from the burger and left the remainder. When the staff cleared our plates they asked if I was finished and I advised I was disappointed with the email as the burger tasted really bad.... to which the waitress replied "okay, no worries" and walked away..... It's a real shame as their breakfasts are usually quite nice, but based on this experience I will never return again.

Very welcoming staff, Michelle was very welcoming and on hand to help if we needed it. Popped in for an all you can eat breakfast and a great price and very tasty food.

Absolutely amazing service.Michelle was incredible with my youngest son who's ADHD and autism.The patience shown was amazing and she went above and beyond to help.Thank you for such a loveley experience :-)

Michelle was lovely and kind and very helpful as I had my hands full with my son

Had lunch, food was lovely. Marjory and Michelle were both friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be back

I wish to come back here and give this place another try but it is just not worth the hassle. I had dinner here. I was catching up with friends that I had not seen for a long time, I arrived in the evening so it was dark, headed inside and had food. The food was nice and the staff were friendly. But 1 week after my visit I recieved a parking charge for £100 from the car park company that operate at Buckie farm. I was first of all unaware about the new parking restrictions since it was not the case the many times I had visited previously and because I arrived at night and it was dark. Staff never alerted us to the fact there was a time restriction either. I overstayed the max time limit by 15 SECONDS, and for months now I have been threatened by this predatory company that manage the parking at Buckie farm. Such a shame because this was somewhere I visited regularly . I was hoping to go there later this year for a big family meal, but the truth is that I do not want any of my family or friends being subjected to the same harassment that I have been for the past 4 months, if god forbid they overstay by more than a second. Watching the clock is the last thing anyone needs when trying to enjoy a meal. If you want to charge your customers who are paying to eat in your restaurant, at least have the decency to either install a parking machine to allow them to pay for their time, and extend if necessary, or at the least, when ordering, alert them to the fact there are restrictions. It has completely put me off visiting Buckie Farm, and until they reconsider their business with Euro car parks, I will be taking my business elsewhere, as will the 6 other people that were with me the day we visited.

Excellent food and friendly welcoming staff.

We are always served by Michelle, she is always polite, professional and extremely helpful. A great member of the team.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch, absolutely delicious and Michelle (our waitress) was very welcoming and helpful! Will definitely back again!! Thank you :)

We used to come here often and then it went downhill, however, I am pleased to say it has come back, food is one of the best carverys I have been to, good cuts of meat, not overly generous but cut properly so it's proper pieces of meats and not scraps, it was tasty, succulent and whilst there wasn't loads of varieties of vegetables and potatoes what they had was well done, tasty and fresh. For a carcery hard to beat and worth a visit

Good food, good prices and Michelle was really friendly and attentive, especially with our little one! Good breakfast!

Lovely food, attentive staff- really enjoyed our meal ☺️

I had an amazing experience here. Was served by Michelle, she is so sweet and lovely to talk to. Very kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

Amazing service from Michelle, very warm from the get go, looked after us very well and we will definitely be back more often, give her a raise 🙏🏻

Marjory and the team were great. Super food and good service!!

Wonderful service, Michelle is so helpful and friendly. Lovely atmosphere, relaxed and cosy. Food plentiful and delicious

Great value and exceptional service - thanks Michelle

Michelle and her staff were very attentive and the food was excellent as always

Came for breakfast, thoroughly enjoyed it and service was fab thanks Michelle 😊 x

Sadly gone downhill. We used to come here quite a bit but have noticed a marked deterioration in the food over the last few years. Tonight was the final straw. We will not be back. Lovely staff but disgusting food. The burger I had must have been the cheapest of the cheap. I couldn’t eat it. My son’s pizza similarly poor. Weird sweet base heavily dusted in corn flour and what tasted like raw tomato purée on top. Branded sauces on the table now replaced with cheap alternatives. Cutting corners all round including maintenance around the building.

Great breakfast. Nice & clean! Michelle was lovely & attentive! Highly recommend

2 x sunday roast carverys - food was decent quality and all fresh/hot. Friendly service and cheap price. Just missing skirlie or it would've been perfect.

We really enjoyed our meal tonight! Got a warm welcome, prompt service and the orange waitress was lovely.

Fantastic pint and lovely staff

Great food, Marjory was very welcoming!

Food was really good staff were very good, Marjory was very nice and welcoming will be back

to much veg .not enough meat I had small fatty bits .and I didn't ask for veg. 6 different veg full to brim of container.

All you can eat breakfast for @ £6.50ea Sounds great. Except the veggie option is poor. Quorn sausages that aren't the same I have at home. Deep fried and the inside was a terrible texture and taste. No mushrooms on the stand, instead they offer as an extra c/w extra charge not much admittedly, but its a standard item in a full breakfast everywhere else. Eggs are done a few at a time, so unless you're watching the staff you'll miss them. Meat breakfast option was 'alright' Staff on the till was pleasant. Not sure why you've to input your car reg in a machine - it's on a busy road of course you're likely to drive there. But surely CCTV outside should be enough to see car park users are paying customers. We won't return.

Came back for drinks afternoon. Overall cute place. Cheap and cheerful

The staff did a good job of catching up after a busy backlog. Generous portions at a very reasonable price.

The service from michelle is always amazing

Great food and atmosphere, baby loved the carvery bowl for 99p Michelle was really nice as was the man at the bar in a blue shirt

Myself and family come here all the time just to relax and enjoy a family meal with breaking the bank. Service is outstanding, having family coming to visit from another place and so helpful for booking a table for a large group. Michelle the bar staff was such a lovely lady with great customer service. Keep up the great work to all the staff!

Breakfast was lovely very good service from Michelle was very pleasant thank you so much Michelle

The staff were so so unwelcoming, snapped at my friend and I for asking to switch tables and waited 20 minutes for our drinks.

Perfect place for family, party, eaven for relax it's nice and quiet place. Good food, big plate. Lovely service.

Partner and I stopped in on the way home after visiting Aberdeen for a funeral. Staff were incrediblely pleasant but the food was nothing to write home about. Burger was pretty grey looking and really quite bland, nachos were actually pretty decent though. Partner had the fish and chips but again it wasn't great. No fault of the staff though, i suspect the ingredients are bought in from higher up the food chain (Pun intended)

Just wanted to say that we had a wonderful time at the buckie farm thanks to Michael marj and Ola for a fantastic service. Keep up the good work

Fantastic food piping hot, staff are friendly & help especially our server Michelle 👍👍

A good place to eat as a family. Pub grub style food and a daily carvery which we usually opt for. The staff are always friendly and welcoming which is nice. Car park is free and plentiful.

Large breakfast ordered. Arrived absolutely swimming in grease. Bacon undercooked and full of fat. Very disappointing. Rude delivery driver who clearly can’t follow door numbers.

Purchased a Groupon voucher and planning to use it on father's day. Checked all small prints and nothing mentioned about exclude Sunday or father's day, so booked the table, again stating i'll be using the voucher. Heard nothing from the restaurant so assumed everything is OK. On the day of visit, the lady keep saying the voucher doesn't work, loudly asking others to help with the till because 'here is a Groupon....!' it doesn't feel very welcomed. The gentleman later came around and honoured the voucher but it wasn't a pleasant experience. If the restaurant doesn't welcome Groupon then please do not create the deal. The food is nice though.

Felt let down at the cavery. Veg was covered in butter, the tatties were either roasted or mashed which was really wet. No choice of boiled tatties

The food here on father's Day was atrocious, the meat especially the beef was tough the vegetables were soo overcooked and watery, basically mush! I had a burger, I was gob smacked when it arrived it looked like tinned burgers , didn't think anyone still served such awful burgers, it had a token piece of lettuce and one piece of onion . For such a busy day they had no staff the poor girl behind the bar was stretched to her limits but did her job very well lovely and pleasant ( blonde hair and neck tattoo) ladies toilet was disgusting and no handryer Poor poor poor will not be back!!

Lovely breakfast. Michelle very helpful and pleasant.

Always enjoy a pit stop for breakfast here. A good selection of items for breakfast. Tattie scones and waffles are yummy! Only gripe is that the eggs are slightly under done for our liking. Michelle is on hand for anything we need and smiley and cheerful first thing in the morning which is lovely.

Absolutely amazing service thank you very much guys , Jo was the person serving us made sure we were satisfied and had everything we needed :) family of 7 ate for £60 kids meals with free pudding wooow partner highly enjoyed battered fish compliments to the chef

Marjory was very helpful cleared our table when finished and asked if we were like a dessert .we were so full so had to decline . The food tonite was top quality as it dropped quality once or twice but they have certainly made up for it now and yes will defo be back 👍

Excellent value for money.Tasty food and staff very friendly. Marjorie was very helpful and professional. Thank you for a great dinner

Nice meal. Great service from Marjory.

Breakfast carvery was great! Really good service as well, can't fault it.

Very welcoming staff (Michelle) nice cosy ambiance and great food. Anything you can imagine, we had fish and chips today but for sure we will come back for more breakfast and carvery all looks delicious and all freshly made. Fantastic place to escape from all the town traffic 🤩

Great value food served in good time and nice staff

My family and I had a great experience I was at your restaurant Top marks for the service we got from one of the staff named Marjorie

Really good food at reasonable prices with friendly staff and great service.

A great friendly place for food and drink with excellent staff, always happy to help and served with a smile! ☺️👍
