CORNER HOUSE TEA ROOM in Aberdeenshire

Been here twice on our break to Deeside. Staff really friendly and helpful. We had coffee and tea on our first visit with a slice of cracknel. Tea, Toasties and cracknel! (again) again on our second visit. Although we only had snacks which were very reasonably priced the food being delivered to other tables looked first class.

Fabulous soups full of flavour and plentiful portion. Sandwiches and scones were fresh and tasty too. Servers were all friendly and happy to discuss recipes. One downside was allowing dogs on the seats!

We’ve just had a delicious lunch at the Corner House. It was the perfect spot for lunch, between cycling the Bike Trails at Tarland and those at Aboyne. The chicken and leek soup was outstanding, and the sweet potato, chilli and coconut one was delicious too. We all enjoyed building our own paninis. Our bacon, Brie and red onion chutney one was the best we’ve ever tasted. The staff were extremely kind and pleasant, rearranging tables to accommodate our family of seven. It was deservedly very busy, but worth browsing the lovely gift shop while awaiting a table.

I’ve been to this cafe on three occasions and not once had they scones left, each time before lunchtime. Wouldn’t it be an idea to up the order?? I’m not going back , there’s always an issue, I’ve seen disgruntled customers each time because the staff rushed off their feet. More staff, more scones and less “ gifts” would be an idea.

Tremendous, thank you for coming out to tell us the cafe was dog friendly, thanks for the delicious bacon rolls, Isla and Ness pass on their thanks for the dog treats - just thanks for a brilliant start to our stravaig round Deeside.

My sister and I stopped by the corner house for lunch - very impressed with the choice of food (we opted for panini and toastie) Friendly service- in particular a young lady called Jane who made us feel most welcome. Will come again.

My husband and I met a friend for coffee and a treat. We received a pleasant welcome, and were shown to our table which we had reserved. We had a really pleasant friendly Waitress, a lady from Hungary. She was being so nice to all the customers. My husband chose a muffin, I had a fruit scone and our friend had the banoffie scone. (It wasn't the easiest to eat, with toffee sauce and toffee pieces on the top!) We had a pot of tea for one, a cappuccino and a latte. Everything was excellent. The tea room did become very busy - which was great to see - so we were glad we had reserved a table. A lovely visit.

We stopped here on our way through Deeside hoping to get a coffee and snack. I am coeliac and have a gluten free diet and most smaller places I usually struggle to get something to eat. However on this occasion we spoke to the waitress who said she was also coeliac and she gave me options of what I could eat, I opted for the omelette with gluten free toast and my mum had the veggie breakfast. It was clearly marked on the menu that they can cater for dietary requirements so it's always worth asking. The omelette was packed full of mushrooms and cheese and really tasty, and the toast was served with individual butters and marmalade's which is also great for me as no chance of regular toast crumbs in the butter! My mum's veggie breakfast was big, and looked really fresh, she said it tasted great. It also came with free tea or coffee. Additionally I heard the waitress re-iterate to the kitchen that my order was gluten free which is very reassuring. The cafe was quiet but we were seated quickly and our food came out fast with everything we had asked for so no need to keep asking for butter or sauce etc. Overall very impressed and if we're in the area again we will make a point to stop here for breakfast!

The breakfast was really good with great ingredients and we each had a different cake that we really enjoyed.

Really disappointed with the standard of food unfortunately. My partner had a toastie and I had a slice of carrot cake, both with a cup of tea. The carrot cake was awfully dry and to be honest with you I would have been ashamed to serve the toastie: two squashed pieces of anaemic bread and some crisps thrown on the plate. Also couldn’t see any vegan/alternative dietary options which is a shame. We won’t be visiting again.

We went in for a cuppa & cake. Lovely bright, friendly place & staff are the same. The service was excellent. 2 of us had a scone, the other a piece of cake, all were very nice & fresh, mine was a fruit scone, one of the best I have tasted! The others equally delighted with theirs. Drinks were all good too. Will be back.

Nice stop for a coffee and scone!! Definetly I will come back for that amazing pear&almond scone and a nice good caramel Latte! Well done, guys!! 👍

Excellent lunch stop, easy parking, superb home made soup (chicken & mushroom) , sandwiches & jacket potato. Prompt service, spotlessly clean & great staff

Have visited this cafe for nearly 20 years, this was not a great experience today. Waited to be seated, head of the Q, staff buzzing about , several empty tables, 10 mins later nobody said hello or even made eye contact- not even a friendly “we are busy but will be with you in a few mins”. Ok perhaps the staff haven’t been told about customer service but come on when the individual behind you in the Q was taken to a table almost immediately, what’s going on? I sincerely hope it wasn’t because my aldut daughter was in a wheelchair, I hope it was misunderstanding and poor staff training, but I wonder. We have only had the chair a few months and I now fully understand the meaning of being invisible. Shame, won’t be back

Just as well we only stopped for a fly cup. Asked for two latte’s and two shortbread. The coffees were tepid at best. The shortbread was soft, no snap at all. Shameful start to our day out in Royal Deeside.

We stopped here on the spur of the moment after cycling to Ballater and back on the excellent Deeside Way trail. We were lucky enough to get one of the outside tables, so we could watch the world go by as we ate. Both of us chose the "make your own panini". You don't actually have to make your own, you just choose the fillings you want to have in it. We asked for a side of homemade coleslaw as well. The paninis, when they arrived, proved to be very generous in both size and filling. The bread was deliciously hot and soft, and everything tasted fresh. The slaw was a nicely cool accompaniment. Overall, we were very pleased with our spur of the moment choice!

Good to be able to enjoy all that this cafe and shop has to offer. Been many times before and never disappointed. Usual high standard of both service and food. All the staff very friendly helpful and welcoming. Despite current restrictions we felt very relaxed and safe. Food very good plenty of it very well prepared and served. Excellant value too. Aslo available a splendid takeaway option which is equally good.

We enjoyed excellent service and super friendly staff. Varied menu with everything prepared to order. Great selection of home baking.

Visited several times on a recent stay in nearby Aberdeen. Each time delighted with both service and refreshments. Staff very welcoming friendly and 'there for you'. The quality of the food and drink both excellent. Looking forward to our next trip, what a real treat to have found this lovely cafe and shop.

Glad to know that the Corner house is back in business after a prolonged lockdown.We’ve missed our lovely freshly cooked breakfasts on a Saturday morning. Good as ever and served by lovely friendly people who make you very welcome, be you a regular or a visitor.Welcome back!!

Really nice spot for a home made lunch. The soup was awesome, and the cakes were just right! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Rushed in here when it started raining and decided to have lunch. Both our meals were freshly prepared and both delicious with very friendly service. Would recommend and will revisit

We had had enormous fun at the Tarland Bike Trails (highly recommended), but were very cold and hungry, so needed a warm and tasty lunch before tacking the Bellwood Bike Tracks in Aboyne (also superb). We arrived (a three generational family of seven) and requested a table to accommodate us all. Despite the restaurant being almost full within a short time we were seated together and our orders taken. Most of us opted for the Lunch Deal, with a bowl of soup and a toastie or panini for £6 95. The lentil and bacon soup was delicious with chunks of bacon in the tasty and clearly home made soup. The cheese and ham paninis were crisp and fresh with a generous position of ham and melted cheese. Our daughter in law had a tuna and cheese baked potato with salad, which apparently was also excellent. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful and the roaring wood burner made a lovely focal point as well as adding welcome warmth on a cold day. We would strongly recommend the Corner House for lunch, and if you have to wait to be seated the gift shop has some lovely tempting items.

Hi folks Barry here just hit my expert level reviewing status and thats simply because i love to write about places that are great do a good job and really go that wee bit extra and the corner house is one.

Pleasant decor, friendly service and reasonable prices throughout. After enjoying a snack you can then peruse the shop which has a myriad of interesting items for sale.

I am a regular visitor to both the gift shop and tea room for a number of reasons. Apart from the fact it is local, the service and staff are great and the food is lovely. I visited today again with friends and was immediately welcomed by the staff in the shop before going through to the tea room. Although it was busy the waitress made every effort to accommodate us and our order was taken quickly. We did not have to wait long for our very delicious soup and sandwiches. The bill was very reasonable and I would highly recommend the Corner House to all.

Stopped here for quick refreshment after spending a day with family! Great selection of foods and refreshments staff efficient and smart place is friendly and clean overall nice place all over!

Homemade soup , and a sandwich was brilliant . Soup was full of flavour . Menus looked good to and a good choice of cakes . Staff were very polite and helpful . Toilets very clean also . Most definitely be back next time we are in Aboyne .

Visited at lunch time. Very busy, with many locals (always a good sign). Had decent helpings of good food (although my Coronation Chicken could have been spicier for my taste) and good coffee. Gift shop attached.

great place for food staff well manered and helpfull ahd you dont have to wait long for service and well priced

The best soup we have ever had was in here with either oat cakes or bread to go with it also great sandwiches and cakes too. They also have a little shop within the premises which sells all sorts of nik naks . From postcards to cards an ad jewellery too. Lovely staff too.

Good efficient service as the hotel had no restaurant (I wasn’t paying £5.95 for a plate of cornflakes)The food was tasty bacon and egg sandwich, then back at lunchtime and had scones with jam and cream with a take away sandwich to eat in our room.Very reasonably priced.

We are only visiting for a week but returned to the corner house several times. Wonderful soups - amazing value. Good selection of sandwiches and toasties, attractive cakes and pastries and quite the best two-shot latte for miles! Complemented by smiling, welcoming staff - a rarity nowadays! There is also a comprehensive gift shop with wide range of greeting cards. Makes me wish I lived here, we'll be back.

Nothing wrong with this cafe but it didn’t knock yer socks off. Menu predictable and uninspired, toasties and soup etc. Which were not made with the best ingredients. Coffee was ok, not very strong. Service was good and friendly.

We called into this place whilst visiting friends in Aboyne. The soup and sandwiches were made to order and beautifully served by the friendly staff. The coffee is wonderful and the scones are not for the weight conscious. The tea room is part of a well stocked and very attractive craft and gift shop. The whole experience is well worth a visit if you are passing through this charming little town.

Stopped off here for coffee and a breakfast roll. Coffee was great and the breakfast rolls were fantastic. There’s a gift shop area with some really lovely items. Cakes on display looked amazing.

We went there for a light lunch & were most satisfied. Soup was home made & delicious along with a Panini served with a small salad included.Very busy at 1pm which is always a good sign.Staff are patient & kind with customers who cannot decide which delicious filling they want!! Everything is scrupulously clean & facilities are very good for Disabled & elderly.

Hemos ido a casa de esquina, sala de té para parece un largo tiempo, te dan una cálida recepción, excelentes aperitivos, casa de quingombó, bebidas más calientes de gran personal. Puede estar muy concurrido a la hora del almuerzo normalmente es mejor ir temprano para conseguir una mesa. También se puede navegar en la tienda que ofrece grandes regalos de todo tipo. Sin duda continuaré a medida este salón de té. Recomiendo la sopa casera.

We visited this venue on a fine day and sat outside but regretfully they forgot our order albeit we did get our drinks

Shopping with friend in Aboyne had lovely blueberry and white chocolate and a coffee.Staff very friendly everywhere clean and bright.

Lovely warm friendly place with excellent home bakes. Also lunches are substantial, tasty and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

In addition to being a pleasant and obviously popular Tearoom, the Corner House is also quite a good gift shop.

Tenía un encantador almuerzo temprano en un viaje para ver en Aboyne planeadores. La luz & Cafe ventilado tiene servicio de mesa y ocupa parte de un interesante y tienda de regalos tarjeta junto al aparcamiento principal. La elección de sopa de zanahoria y hoy...

Un buen lugar para comer o por la tarde, hay mucha variedad de tés en el menú, niños, hogar de quingombó son deliciosos, pero si dejas que no te sorprenda si nada hasta la tarde.

Tuve un almuerzo con un amigo de la vieja escuela y su madre. La elección de sopa y sándwiches era muy bueno y la comida cuando llegó era genial y el precio era excelente

If in Aboyne what better place for a tea and sandwich. In this cafe you can do a lot of shopping for friends back home with such a verity of souviners to buy, if you are needing a rest then go through to the cafe where you can have a plate of home made cakes and sandwiches, all very well priced. And good atmosphere

busy wee spot and food was quickly served and very good - generous portions, staff were friendly too disappointed was not open on a sunday

Very pleasant staff serving good wholesome food and average prices. Very friendly, not stuffy at all and welcoming. This is not high end restaurant, but a high end cafe experience, not bettered anywhere on Deeside! Give it a try, worth a journey out for the day to Aboyne, why not?

Stopped here for a light lunch. We promptly got a table and were then forgotten about.Eventually had to go up to waitress and ask for service. Toasted sandwich arrived but no tea. Again had to go up to ask waitress for my tea.Sandwich served with salad as requested, unfortunately it was covered in dressing, not to my taste. Salad not eaten. Would be better served separately!

Lovely café with very good food; soups are excellent and nicely served; there is also a very nice gift shop with good quality goods. The empire biscuits are excellent. Well worth a visit

Arrived at above premises for coffee and scones at arond 12.30pm. Told by an offhanded young gent 'sorry no scones'. Then asked for pancakes....same response.Come on Aboyne, buck up your ideas. How long to make fresh scones? Went on to Ballater and had delicious scones at the Bothy.

Greeted,seated and served in a trice. Had a wonderful lunch, lovely atmosphere, staff were so helpful. Food delicious.Look forward to re visiting when i am in the area. Thank-you to all

We often take our Grandsons to this tea room for an after school treat. Plenty of room, lovely cakes and a gift shop in the same place.

Popped in here with the kids for tea and cakes after school. Cakes were delicious and we enjoyed a stroll in the shop after.

A very pleasant Tearoom in the heart of Aboyne, offering good vale for money food and service. Plenty of spacious seating with a well stocked gift shop to browse either before or after sustenance!! Clean and bright toilets which are accessible for disabled persons. Pleasant and efficient staff. Service with a smile.

Good honest food pleasant staff and a clean comfy place. Homely welcoming and warm with a good range of dishes and accompaniments for a cuppa. Great for elderly, kids, friend and family.

Had coffee here once. Place was empty and despite us sitting in window the staff decided to empty , clean and replace the window display on front of us. No character and bland food.

We hadn't planned to be in Aboyne but found ourselves there around lunchtime. Having sampled the tea and scones before we decided to try lunch. No booking obviously.I opted for the soup and sandwich deal and my wife took the soup and dessert deal. I had quite a substantial bowl of chicken and rice soup with a ham sandwich while my wife opted for the spiced parsnip soup and a salted caramel and chocolate tart with cream. Food was excellent. Service was helpful and quick. Prices very reasonable.Second visit and second satisfaction. I would recommend.

We visit this little cafe every year we are in Ballater. They are so helpful and always have a varied menu. The bowl of soup is a meal in itself . They have a variety of specials each day again one not to miss

Stopped in for coffee and a scone on a wet, miserable afternoon. Lovely scones with butter and jam and good coffee.Staff very friendly. I have no hesitation in recommending this tea room.

Bacon roll, the bacon was very uncooked measly just warmed up coffee was like warm think they made it and let it sit till they could be bothered to bring it over staff were snooty and felt I was a incumbrence to be tolerated

Excellent tearoom and giftshop. Perfect for both an afternoon coffee and cake or light lunch. Home made soups are hearty and very well priced. Staff friendly and effeicinet even when its busy. I have been coming here for a few years as its the best place locally, and now its one of the only places that can easily accomodate my granddaughter in her buggy.

If you want a good breakfast, well cooked, served with a smile, then look no further.We call here most Saturdays and wouldn't go anywhere else. Don't get me wrong, this is not a greasy spoon, it is a lovely coffee house and gift shop run by lovely staff who always have time to be pleasant. The Coffe and cakes are good as well by the way! The amount of regulars tell how good it is.

We're a business in Aboyne and use the Corner House for bacon rolls on a regular basis. The team love them and they'll cook the bacon to your exact requirements if you ask. If you've got time to sit in, their soup is always yummy and the perfect accompaniment for a bacon roll. A great cafe!!

While working in Aboyne today, myself and a colleague popped into this tearoom for some take away brunch. The staff were immediately snooty and unwelcoming. When the food order arrived, it was dumped on the counter with no comment and the "chef" displayed the same frosty demeanour as the waiting staff. If this were not enough reason to flee the premises, the food itself added insult to injury by being of very poor quality. The bacon rolls had no butter or spread on them, the bacon itself was rubbery , and mostly inedible and there was no offer of sauces. This along with dry muffins sealed the deal....won't ever be back. Packed lunches for next Aboyne trip!

We were limited in our choice of restaurants in Aboyne but decided to give it a go as a stop off en route to Braemar. There was a good choice of food although the presentation was rather ordinary and the service was lacking in warmth. The waitress was clearly busy and did not smile at all and no one asked if we had enjoyed our meal. The décor was rather garish but the restaurant was clean and very busy. The shop stocked a good range of well priced products.

My wife and I were pleased by the nearby parking.The staff in the tea room were pleasant, the service was quick and the quality good. The shop also supplies a variety of goods. Well worth a visit on a visit to beautiful Aboyne.

Quick service, good value for money and it is consistent in its quality. It is child friendly. Coffees, cakes and fast foods are tasty and very reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.

I come here a lot with friends and with my kids, it's very child friendly great sandwich boxes for the kids and the fancy cakes are just lovely.

run by local family who did a fantastic rennovation of the old "co-op" in Aboyne. Lovely gifts, cards, Scottish pottery, and interior accessories. Good, cheap, food. A must for the family with little kids. The staff clean up "the mess" instantly. A huge range of Scottish products. Great and efficient staff who will tell you all you need to know about Aberdeenshire and "where to go". Lovely place. NOT for the "night out"............casual eating and dining.

I have written before about the Corner House and its fantastic breakfasts, and I have to say that they are still as yummy as ever! Always freshly cooked to order and never a hint of anything greasy. We sometimes pop in for lunch as well, they are now on the Summer menu which has some lovely salads on it. My friend had the Smoked Bacon and Chicken salad which looked great, and she told me it tasted as good as it looked.The paninis and soup and sandwich deals are all very good value.Service is great too, and there is always a friendly welcome and a smile, not something that you get everywhere! Roll on Saturday morning breakfast!!

Visiting a place like this makes you wonder what foreign visitors must think about our attitude to food. The environment couldn't be more bland if it tried; menus are tired, tacky, laminated plastic affairs and are totally devoid of inspiration (baked potatoes, sandwiches, etc.). The food its self matches the environment perfectly - bland, uninspired and served with a degree of apathy. I had the weirdest Ploughman's I've ever encountered - 3 small slices of cheese, two of which were the same cheap cheddar, accompanies by a pile of shredded lettuce, cucumber and carrot; supplemented by a 'home made roll' which looked like roll, but tasted like a dry scone. The other food we had was of an equally low standard; nothing specifically wrong with it, but nothing to recommend it either. Aboyne, and its visitors, deserve better.

My wife and I called in here for a quick coffee and cake whilst visiting the area. It was such a lovely day we chose to site outside, no crockery allowed outside only paper cup and cake in a bag, although substantial meals were served on proper plates. The coffee was very pleasant and there was a reasonable selection of cakes. Good value for money and great for a quick bite. Recommended

We stopped into the Corner House Tea room for lunch. I had a ham and cheese toastie. It was perfect. The service was great and the desserts fantastic! Loved shopping too!

Good choice of menu, soup, sandwiches, baked potato, cakes and scones. Also do breakfast, beans or egg on toast etc.I had a toastie, cheese scone and fairy cake plus 2 hot chocolates. Food was excellent, service quick. Very clean, staff lovely.Very reasonbly priced, will be back soon.

The cafe has a basic selection of hot and cold snacks and refreshments. These are of a good standard and the service is also good. Reasonably priced. Good selection of cards and gifts in the shop.

My husband ordered the soup and got a huge bowl of piping hot soup which he absolutely loved.i got the smaller bowl and a sandwich which was equally good. Our friends ordered an omelette and poached eggs. We were really pleased witth he service from the staff and the speed of service, as always we wouldn't miss visiting here.

People are always warmly welcomed, the food is a simple down-to-earth menu that is always well prepared and great value for money. At busy times you may to wait for a table but the wait is worth it. on our list for our annual holiday in Scotland

We often visit this small emporium for lunch, but last time I was in a hurry and left for another restaurant because initial service took so long though the place was not even half full. Delighted to report normal fast, efficient service had resumed and the soup, sandwich and panini were all beautifully prepared. Part of the pleasure of this place is that the entry is through an Aladdin's Cave gift shop. The cosy woodstove and the picture window add to the experience, but the real asset is the smiling staff. It's back at the top of our Aboyne todo list again.

Having visited the Cornerhouse many times, I thought it was time to do another review.Our usual call is for breakfast on a Saturday after a swim session. I favour the full breakfast and my wife the scrambled eggs on toast. I am told that the scrambled eggs are "yummy" and that I should try them! My favourite is the full breakfast, bacon, egg, sausage,tomato,mushrooms,and beans, accompanied by brown toast and strong coffee, This cannot be faulted, not only for the quality ingredients used, but the service, presentation and not ever a trace of grease.I also know from other visits that the scones are delicious too!Well worth a visit.

Have been in here a few times when visiting Scotland they serve good quality food and have friendly helpful staff

Popped in for a quick snack lunch and we were not disappointed. My wife had the soup & sandwich deal - home-made cauliflower soup plus a ham sandwich on brown bread for only £5.99. I had a cheese and ham panini with a large coffee (reasonably strong) for only £6.35. All the food passed the taste test.The staff were efficient and courteous and the premises were spotless. A customer at an adjacent table had a scone (large) with a whole plate of various spreads to choose from. Also, this cafe is part of an interesting gift shop - well worth a wander round.I was pleased with my visit to these premises and would have no hesitation in returning to the Corner House.

When we arrived we read the sign that said to wait to be seated. After 5 minutes i went to find someone who informed me that i should have just sat down. AFter 10 minutes our order was taken. Lovely tea and scone but they forgot our water. Didn't feel like we were a priority.

This is a great wee tearoom in the middle of Aboyne which I regularly go to during my work lunch break. Usually have a cup of soup to takeaway which is always great and you can easily tell it's homemade with good quality ingredients. Staff always seem to make the time to say hello to you and even when they're busy acknowledge you are there so you never feel you are being ignored. Very reasonably priced as well which is always a bonus and is a big reason in why I keep going back!

Food is average café type foodThe service is always appalling. I made the mistake of calling in for a much needed cup of tea shortly before closing, which clearly displeased the lass working, as she parked her strong smelling bucket of floor mopping water by my feet (despite the place being empty) and started vacuuming - under my tableFortunately I now use the Black faced sheep

If you are touring in the area and want a lovely snack and cup of tea in pleasant surroundings then this is a must.We had a lovely cuppa and baking served by courteous and friendly staff.Nice little gift shop as well as coffee shop on premises.

Lovely coffee and an absolutely delicious 'Special scone' - flavour of the day was lemon, raisin and coconut. truly yummy! The staff were most obliging and quick at serving. We were surprised at how cheap this was, but it was and we'll definitely go back when we're on Deeside again.

We went in to this small however very pleasent shop. Staff were friendly and helpful.Coffee shop reasonable prices and yummy food, fast service enjoyed our short visit.

the corner house is perfect for anyone wanting a a light lunch or just a coffee and cake ! Specials are always good !

Varied menu, great for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. Service is always excellent and the prices are very reasonable. Nice atmosphere, and the most delicious salad dressing

We have been here on several occasions, usually for breakfast after swimming on Saturdays.The staff are all very pleasant, and really seem pleased to see you. There is a good choice of items on the breakfast menu, with things on toast and traditional plated choice. They are all cooked to order and not a trace of grease anywhere.They obviously use the best ingredients.I have been in at lunchtimes and had soup and sandwiches and can honestly say that I have never had a bad meal here.A previous review complaining about the soup, does not ring true with me,as I know that they do not operate like that.The Cornerhouse is an asset that Aboyne can be proud of.

As a frequent customer to this coffee shop I cannot fault anything. The staff are always pleasant and helpful. The coffee is the best as are the scones and home bakes,there is even a taster tray at the entrance. There is also a good choice of meals and sandwiches, all freshly prepared.My favourite lunchtime treat is the choice of homemade soups,ranging from Cullen skink to roasted pepper to the best pea and ham ever!If you want a nice lunch/ coffee in great surroundings in front of a lovely wood burning stove then this is the place to go!

Had the worst soup ever in my 34 years of living. When i told the staff i couldn't eat as it wasn't good, he still proceeded to put the soup through on my bill. Completely ignored what i said. So when i asked "Am i really having to pay for that?". again he never said a word. Even before i said anything and we got our sweets, they never took the plate of soup away. They must of new it was awful and was too scared to ask whether the food was okay.
