Castle Cafe in Aberdeenshire

Staff seemed disinterested. Food was below average .whats with cheese on the menu and plastic rubber in the food, The coffee was straight oot o trough....worst fluid i have had in decades.

This place takes you back to the 70s but it’s close to the castle grounds and offers cheap decent food. Our kids left nothing on their plates and that’s more important than anything.

Staff appeared very grumpy and unwelcoming. Waiter made snide comment about pushchair being in the way, despite there being no where to park it and we were the ONLY customers at the time. The food is cheap is and and not cheerful. But certainly the attitude odlf the staff is the what let's down this Cafe. Also the Cafe is silence. No radio or music to create an atmosphere and the staff watch you from a little window in the kitchen. Will not be returning

Quick bite to eat with the family having attended local event. Decor is horrendous and dated and the food good value for money. You can't go wrong with a simple bacon butty and instant coffer

Miserable service I had to say hello, instant coffee, no light in the toilets. All the worst of Scotland. Avoid

Great welcome and tea and home cooked scones served by lovely staff. It was so good and homely that we went back in the afternoon for more of the same.

We visited this wee cafe today and were totally delighted by the ambience and delicious food. The service was prompt and polite. It was great to find a proper cafe serving good home made food. The cafe was also clean and tidy.

A small slightly shabby cafe, not quite the cleanest (sticky tables ) one young girl serving overpriced teas and coffees with overcooked toasties. There are much better places to go for a quick bite, pity as the location is good, just needs care and upgrading / cleaning

Frankly awful is about the best that could be said for this appalling example, to holidaymakers, of Scottish cuisine.Chicken burger that has never seen meat, let alone chicken, in it’s life. It’s also never seen lettuce or mayonnaise or tomato or butter.Selection of cakes where, once you have selected, you are charged for what you have eaten - not what you’re children or other children have picked up, sniffed, run their fingers over to taste, sneezed over and then put back on the plate again - that simply goes back for the next customer who orders a ‘selection of cakes’.Mugs of coffee held in place on their saucers by the waitress’s thumbs - in the coffee!This is very basic food, served cheaply, and sets a very poor example to any tourist unlucky enough to come across this mis-representation of a cafe.

Dropped in past as we have been before and just as good as I remember it was and good cost very pleasant staff

Great small place with cheap good quality food, good friendly customer service, central to the town and close walk to the castle

Stopped off for lunch. We had chicken peas and chips. Also teas and coffee. Lovely meal and very friendly staff. Good clean toilets too.

have visited a few times just perfect nice coffee and a plate with several different cakes to spoil your self with. will stop by in future if in area.thanks for service with a smile.

Great value. Near Huntly Castle. Food was excellent. The bill for three of us to have tea (or coffee), scone, buttery, croissant--all for £6.50. Staff was super friendly and accommodating.

Finding it difficult to find appropriate words to describe this place, it's not a cafe nor a restaurant. After a busy day fishing, me and my friend drove past Huntly to find somewhere to sit in and have food. Every place we tried has stopped serving food for the afternoon and so after a recommendation from a barmaid from one of the pubs, we went to Castle Cafe. The place is dated and not very clean, menu choices were limited but we both agreed on a "good" old fish and chips. When the food arrived we were in shock as we couldn't believe that anyone in this day and age would find it acceptable to serve something like this. It was a frozen bit of fish out of a box from a low end discount store, bunt. It was accompanied by a handful of chips, all served on a side plate. I have never seen anything like it before and it really puts bad food into perspective as I'm a 100% positive that the Castle Cafe is bottom line as bad as bad food gets and and the only good thing about our visit is that we'll now know to ever visit this place again.

We visited this morning and enjoyed a roll with sausage. The food was hot and good quality but the cafe itself could really do with being upgraded. Yellow walls, net curtains at the window, and paper doilies on the plates make you think of the 1930s. All it needed was the "Your Country Needs You!" poster on the wall, and the wartime cafe look would be complete!

I liked this place nice and relaxing and enjoyed the food and it was full of locals so that to me is a good sign not the poshest but relaxing

we went in before an appointment. I had no breakfast so a cooked one is most welcome. Staff were very friendly and the disabled access is excellent

We have visited several times usually with friends for a cuppa and a catch up. Always excellent service and never rushed.

the staff were lovely but the owner was very grumpy towards customers and staff. I will not be going again

Good basic pub food. Only customer but many friends of the bartender. Sort of dark. Looked like a drinking place. Not many places in Huntly to eat.

Excellent pancakes freshly made to order . Also a great selection of scones and home bakes made daily.A great selection of snacks on the menu too for lunch. Loved the chicken fillets with salad too .

My friend and I often visited the castle café for school lunches. We really enjoyed the Chips and Gravy but if your looking for something more substantial I would definitely recommend the chicken fillets. The pancakes are also very tasty and are worth going back for. Can be a bit pricey but good quality and friendly service.

Went in with a friend meal was on very small plate and very small portion. eggs were overdone and bread was very dry not fresh overpriced for what you got. Coffee was good.

Called here for an all day breakfast, nice food at reasonable prices. Lovely friendly service from the ladies who served us. Clean & comfortable cafe, thanks for a lovely meal.

We visit the Castle Cafe every week they serve lovely pancakes and these are made while you wait and they are the biggest and best pancakes in Huntly. They also do hot meals and soups which are also very good and very reasonably priced.Nice friendly place give it a try.

This is a small, clean cafe with fairly basic furnishings and a limited menu but it is very reasonably priced and the food is served piping hot as the meals are cooked to order.If you are looking for no frills food at affordable prices this is the place to goMenu has soup,sandwiches,toasties, filled rolls,burgers,sausage n chips,fish n chips scampi n chips, gammon steak n chips, salad n chips, scones,pancakes ,home bakes.Good selection of hot and old drinks available in various sizes .Pancakes are freshly cooked and served warm - yummy ! Also have fine home bakes . Pleasant and friendly staff too.

This is a small and friendly cafe but with a rather restricted menu, only offering a few sandwich choices. We had a rather small bacon bap and coffee which was enough to keep us going. The staff were friendly and helpful, but it could offer a greater choice.

Visited this nice little cafe after visiting Huntly castle on route to,leith hall. Just had a bacon roll and a mug of tea but other item on the menu were a very good price, service was great and friendly staff

The food was cheap but it tasted cheap as well. We were visitors from out of town and this was a great stop to experience the back country of Scotland. Its a place where everyone in there knew each other.
