Morgan McVeigh's in Aberdeenshire

Very unhappy with the whole experience here, rude, unfriendly staff that made us feel like an inconvenience when ordering, no smiles or politeness, the only word spoken was the price we had to pay, after a 40 minute wait we received our order which was just a soup and a main meal, which was also a huge disappointment - for the price we pay we would expect cooked peas! And no crispy dried up chips that looked to have been cooked over and over. I have been here on 3 occasions now and the last two were unpleasant where the counter staff made us feel unwelcome just even approaching the place for a fly cup and a stale scone, so I thought we would give it another chance but 100% wont be back again and we will be taking our custom elsewhere.

Absolutely dreadful. Ordered the roast chicken lunch. Waitress arrived with the food on plates she said they were 'hot' obviously straight out of an oven or microwave. The skirlie was welded onto the plate, the cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, and boiled potatoes were rock hard. I managed some of the scoop of mash just to say I'd eaten something. The chicken was dry. Two juices, one coffee and two roast lunches - £35 plus. Plenty of waitresses none of who came and asked how our lunch was despite seeing full plates of food left! Won't be returning.

First impressions poor- were met by a grumpy elderly staff member. When we asked for a pot of coffee, were given a cup. When asking again for a pot were curtly told that there are no pots of coffee. Food was underwhelming except coffee and bacon. Sausages and egg very overcooked, toast very dry. Cleanliness poor - trays to put your food on were all dirty. Was given dirty cup by staff member. Shelf above napkins / cutlery station very dusty. Visible cob webs and dust on lights. We will not be returning; what a shame, this used to be a great place for eating out.

At the counter an older lady met us with a brisk and unfriendly manner. The food trays were dirty, there were cobwebs on the overhead lites,uncleared dirty tables and the resteaunt seemed careworn. The breakfast reflected the standard as both the eggs and sausages were very over cooked (egg hard /dry yoke) sausages hard dry and tasteless). The coffee was the only redeeming factor. Later we both felt what we ate did not sit well in our stomachs. We have eaten here in the past but will not be returning.

Average roadside eatery. Food was average verging on not very good. Felt quite bloated and ill afterwards. Elderly female member of staff would benefit from some customer care training. Unfriendly and abrasive towards paying public with a habit of licking her fingers in between sales transactions.

This was dog friendly restaurant but no signs telling you or where to sit with dog. Felt we were a inconvenience with our dog , staff not very friendly Food was ok . The place lacked ambiance

Tasty lunch, arguably best toasties and salad for a long time. Lovely young staff servers, polite and attentive. Big pot of tea for two. Sweet potato soup needed a wee bit of spice but all in all a lovely lunch.

The best breakfast you can get very good staff on wed 1st November 2023 the lady behind the counter. Was 200% her name was Karen

We stopped on the way to get some soups in a rainy cold day. Before entering the restaurant and while we were walking our well behaved dog, a lady, came out her car (she was clearly having a cigarette break) and told us that the area was accessible only to the staff. An area where there is no sign at all of being reserved only for the stuff. The same person served us at the till when we went inside to grab some soups and her attitude just confirmed the first impression i had of her. Now, if you have a problem with dogs or people walking in the “staff area” ask your business owner to clearly mark the area as a staff only area. We will never come back

Food was amazing, ample parking, clean, value for money, young chap behind till helpful and friendly - so why only 3 stars? That due to the really nasty older lady waitress who seemed angry that folk had come in for a meal. Practically threw our plates on the table, however the family served after us, that consisted of three generations were spoken to as if they were trying to get the lady to sell grade A plutonium!!!

Dreadful Scones were inedible (rock hard) coffee weak and cold. Rocky road certainly rocky - could compete with the scone and tea cold. We did mention this to staff who shrugged and smiled! Sorry, but we won’t be back

Just needed a wee and a coffee. Toilets were immaculate and I was then seduced by all the fantastic home baking. Went for a massive custard cram and large black coffee. Both delicious. Will be back.

Sat in the café absolutely seething after my experience in this establishment. I have been to many road side place in my time but on this occasion I am left feeling absolutely shocked and quite angry if I am honest. Haven’t been before but have driven past on several occasions and it always seems quite pleasant from the outside. It wasn’t particularly busy when we arrived at around 14:00ish. Didn’t know exactly where I was going (as haven’t been before like I said) and walked through the shop. There was no greeting when my family and I approached the counter and the woman who proceeded to take our order was incredibly rude and abrasive, whilst the young girl behind her was more interested in pulling faces at her friend. It takes nothing to be polite. I don’t know why she took a disliking to my company and it was very clear by her demeanour that we were an inconvenience. It is self service for cutlery, sauce and the tray was back where we first ordered which is fine but the sever didn’t said anything until we were further down to pay. Another customer actually handed my partner his tray in the end. The teacup that my partner was given was dirty and the saucer was chipped, I had a hair on my plate and the female toilets are unfortunately not the greatest either (I have seen worse but after the experience at the counter it just topped it off) The cubicle I used had paper all over the floor and the only paper available was wet. What topped the experience off was the reaction to my partner taking his tray back up to the counter he was met with the rude server saying it goes at the back wall he returned to the table confused and placed the tray on the table beside. The rude sever then picked the tray up and placed it against the wall/window behind a member of my company whilst we were eating exclaiming that that’s where it goes. The only saving grace was food was alright and the young lady who brought our food was smiling and pleasant when delivering our food. Won’t be back.

Went here for breakfast today well worth the visit & good value for money. My husband had the normal breakfast whilst I had the Vegetarian option both were very filling, good ingredients & value for money. The portions are large I struggled to finish mine. Will definitely be back

Menu has a lot of options and the baked goods are plentiful. Food was very good and they allowed our large party to make a reservation for lunch to ensure we could sit together and get in and out timely. Friendly service an a good location for travelers.

Stopped off for lunch after a long drive. Simple fayre with friendly service at very reasonable prices. As it was a lovely day we were able to sit outside and let the dog stretch her legs too. Would definitely visit again.

This morning had another great gluten free breakfast at Morgan Mcveigh’s. Excellent freshly cooked full breakfast. In my view this is the best gluten free breakfast I have found in terms of quality and value.

Oh dear. Sorry, but since our last visit the place has gone downhill. There was nothing very interesting on the 'specials' board. I opted for scampi and chips, him breaded haddock. Service was Ok, time wise, but given that it was straight out of the freezer into the frier, didn't need to be. I didn't taste his fish. He said it was OK. My chunks of whatever purports to be Scottish scampi were more batter and air than fish. The chips were OK. The peas were like little bullets. Tea was nice though Have to say my saucer was chipped. Oddly, as if something had chopped into it. I don't serve at home on chipped crockery and don't expect it when I'm out. The tables by the window (with a great view) were a bit restricted as there was a damp patch on the ceiling which looked about to start dripping. A group of about 6 came in, and ONE lady server started to put two tables together for them. Given that they are heavy tables and chairs she really should have had help. As it was, him indoors' meal was further spoilt because of all the scraping and squeaking sounds from the table change behind him. To cap it all, I got some cheese scones to take out. At home later we tried them, and left them for our dog. There was hardly any cheese and the scone base was a bit too sweet, also lacking salt and pepper. All in all a disappointment.

We popped in for lunch yesterday, staff were polite and helpful. However the cheese and onion sandwich which I ordered was made with dry stale bread. I was offered a replacement which I was pleased to accept. The waitress arrived with the replacement sandwich and said that this one would be the same as it was the type of bread they used & I would be better going for the seeded brown as it was softer! I do not like seeded brown! Anyway the second sandwich wasn't quite as dry as the first but I think they would be wise to use a better quality bread.

Arrived at 1132 on a Sunday. Breakfast menus had been taken away - no breakfast service on a SUNDAY after that time, although we saw plenty breakfast plates and rolls being taken to tables after that. Asked for soup off the main menu instead to be met with an eye roll and a look at a watch to be told that soup is not served until 1145!! A bit of a joke really. Here's an idea - how about an all day breakfast/brunch menu on a Sunday and serve the soup if it's on the menu at any time. It's 2023 now you know. And, the yellow stained urinals, clean or not, are not pleasant either.

Very slow lunch service - I had to ask where was my food after waiting half an hour! Owner/manager was dismissive and made excuses about hiw busy they were... not the case at the time my order was placed! Not impressed

Stopped off with my mum on the way North. We both had a bacon and egg roll and cappuccino. The bacon was cooked just the way I like it, the egg was runny and the coffee hot and tasty. What more can you ask?! Staff...

Friendly staff but food below par. Stovies had no meat, were just a bowl of mashed potato. The other meals were all from frozen ingredients. Not a home cooked experience.

Hadn’t visited for a year or so and found it had not lost its usual good food and coffee. Service was friendly and prompt. Lots of lovely goods for sale in the shop so must go back again soon.

Similar to another review, I had driven from Elgin in poor weather, arrived before 11.30 looking forward to French toast. The one staff member behind counter took long time to serve older couple before me, then messed around sorting / dropping cups then placing jars...

We met up with our friends for breakfast as the last time we went it was first class. This time the breakfast was very good although a much smaller portion of beans, which was disappointing. Don’t know if it was a different chef or if...

Will not be using this venue again . Food was not freshly cooked ,service was poor and the gents toilet were filthy. A definite downhill trend for this once great venue.

Customer service is brilliant. They could not do enough for us. We visited twice in 2 days. The food is lovely and tasty ,you can reserve a table. Brian us so helpful. Best place for food in the Huntly/lnsch area . 😋

Stopped here for a coffee and cake, it was so good that later on I went back for lunch, which was also good. Clean with friendly staff.

Ok for a quick cuppa, popped in hoping for an early light lunch, pre packaged sandwich on offer. Nothing special and pricey @ £4.95! Coffee good and cake nice also. Was a cold sitting but we weren't stopping for long. Lacks atmosphere and menu could...

AVOID - Please do not waste your time and money. Decided to go for a nice quick meal here before continuing with our outing. Atmosphere was cold and staff seemed inattentive, it wasn’t clear whether we should just sit or be seated but decided on...

Stopped for a pit stop and ended up eating way too much as it was delicious, best cakes ever and a massive selection , taking some cheese scones away for later !

Fantastic food and excellent service. Highly recommend - tried breakfast, coffee and cake and lunch and was not disappointed. Staff very friendly and efficient.

Having visited this a number of times many years ago I was excited to be back in the area and able to visit again. However, I have to say it was a bit disappointing. You order food and drinks at the counter but this seems...

Visited on morning of 12th July and enjoyed a nice coffee with scone and jam. Wasn't too busy and everything well spaced out and clean. Went through to the clothing department afterwards and the lovely girl there was so pleasant and helpful. She encouraged me...

Very nice atmosphere, food choice for everyone, welcomed our dog in too, lots of yummy cakes to choose from. Available seating outside

The lady behind the counter at the restaurant was very rude! She shouted at me as she thought I was too near someone in the queue! It was really unnecessary! She could have been polite and asked me to move back, but no, she shouted...

The staff are very friendly hygiene excellent food superb a massive improvement very well priced meals of above standard quality highly recommended

Stopped here for lunch - very haphazard arrangements for seating customers - no sign to instruct customers to wait to be seated and gentleman who was organising things was frequently away clearing tables which resulted in confusion. Same cloth in constant use when wiping down...

Handy stop off with ample parking. It was a beautiful day and many people were enjoying eating at the outside tables. We opted for inside to cool off. Staff were very welcoming. Young man who served our table was eextremely courteous and hard working. Food...

Turkey lunch so bland... Both in colour and taste Disappointed in cleaning throughout stay.... Same cloth used constantly on table tops and chairs... Have you ever thought of wipes or kitchen roll?

Arrived as a group of 5 had a mix of Cullen Skink, panini and sandwich at 2 tables. Food excellent especially the Cullen Skink

Stopped here for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed my lunch in very safe, clean and warm surroundings. The staff were great, very welcoming and helpful. The food was hot, delicious and reasonably priced. I’ll definitely stop here again.

Although I’ve seen this place several times driving to and from Aberdeen I’ve never stopped. However that changed on Tuesday when two friends and myself stopped for lunch. We entered through the lovely gift shop and then turned left into the light and spacious restaurant....

We stopped here on the way back to Aberdeen for brunch. Hygiene & staff/customer safety seems to be taken seriously with sanitisers provided & staff all wearing masks. The food we ordered we all enjoyed & it was nice to have a look around the...

Food and coffees were very nice however a few issues need worked on with the current pandemic. Tables are wiped down but not the chairs. The tables are not all separated enough to minimum 1 meter. The counter staff could be behind a protective screen,...

Popped in for breakfast after climbing Bennachie. Had the full Scottish and it was served quickly and more importantly hot . Very enjoyable and washed down with couple of cappuccinos . Toilets were spotless as well. First ever visit and won’t be the last !

Lots. of parking, stunning views , and breakfasts which were excellent, and. so cheap because of the. Monday -Wednesday 50 % deal . will never drive by when you this way without popping in

Visited last week .no measures in place for track and trace . Ordered at the counter, no offer of a glass for juice ,dirty cup, no teaspoon for tea, no offer of sauces ,given wrong cutlery .very disorganised service..... ordered baked potatoes... in the past these have been oven baked but on this day they definitely were not , if paying £6 I expect baked not microwaved . bit disappointed as we normally like this place .

Met up here with a pal from Aberdeen as it seemed a good midway point for a spot of lunch and a catch up. The restaurant had just reopened after lockdown and was only moderately busy but some of the staff seemed slightly unsure of the safety measures in place. However, the staff were very helpful and friendly and overall it was a very good dining experience. The stovies were among the best I've ever tasted!

First lunch out since lockdown and it was great. Lovely day so we sat outside. Friendly staff, quick service and the food was piping hot. Best lasagne and chips I have had for ages. Will definitely be back.

Fri 24/07 Was apprehensive about being out and about today meeting a friend for the first time in months due to shielding but I couldn't have felt more reassured. The lady who served me was so nice and chatty and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble for her. Excellent customer service! Enjoyed my food and catch up with my friend. Will definitely be happy to come back again.

Wow! Booked afternoon tea with my friend. It was amazing. Waitress who was about my age 65+ was so pleasant & attentive. Sausage rolls, Sandwiches, Cream Scones, Cheese straws, Viennese Whirls, Tray bakes & lovely Cup cakes to top it all off. Offered as much tea or coffee that we needed. We cannot wait to go back. A wee look around the shop was all worthwhile. WE will be back very soon. Many Thanks

Ordered Chicken off the special board, and cup of coffee. Staff member gave me a table number but forgot to put the order through. For the next 40 minutes, she looked at me sitting at the table nearest the till without wondering why that guy still hasn't got his food. Finally went up to ask, and she found the order. She said it would be out right away. After another 10 minutes, I had to leave as my time has run out. Asked for money back and left.Staff seem to be on another planet.

Stopped in for lunch today after a hike. The food was decent but the staff were clearly overwhelmed and not coping. Older woman on the till was rude in her tone, moaned at the couple in front of me for not having a contactless card and didn't say 'please' or 'thank you' once.

Popped in for lunch today and food was good. Giving a 2 star review due to a member of staff. There were 2 younger boys, one who took our order and another on the till - they were both lovely and polite! However the lady (who appeared to be a manager/supervisor) was extremely rude and just looked like she was in a bad mood/didn’t want to be there. The young boy taking our order may have been in training and the way she spoke to him was condescending and bosy. The young boy didn’t need her input and was managing our order fine. She maintained the same rude attitude when talking to us. Thanks to the boys for being helpful and polite!

Been here a few times over the years and although the food is usually satisfactory the service isn’t. Unfortunately like other customer reviews one woman seems to bring down the tone of the whole place, she appears to be a supervisor. Young lads serving us were very polite and friendly however you could see the supervisor whispering in a colleagues ear and pointing at the lad serving in an aggressive manner. Her rude attitude continued when serving me but I didn’t give her the time of day as that’s all she deserved. You need to sack this bully as it’s bringing your business down, oh and £1.35 for a rowie..? Your having a laugh! Won’t be back.

This is the first time I visited Morgan McVeigh’s and I can’t see myself going back. I’ve heard good things about it, and the place was busy, so I was expecting much better. I ordered the ‘Thai noodle soup’. What I actually got was something that resembled a bad Chinese takeaway. There was nothing remotely Thai about it. It was a bowl of dark brown coloured mushy packet noodles loaded with Chinese five spice.My partner had a Coronation chicken sandwich which she said was nice. She also had lentil and bacon soup, which tasted fine, but seemed to have some cheap sliced ham in it to replace what should have been bacon.When I picked up my cup to have a drink of tea, I noticed that the cup was sticky. On further inspection, none of our crockery was clean, the plates and bowls were also coated with a sticky residue, probably the result of a dishwasher in need of a good clean out.

Ideally situated on A96 before HuntlyHave visited several times since November and have always had good food. Place is always busy whatever day you choose which for me is always a good signEven when busy the place seems to cope. Salads well presented and chips availableNo complaints at all - well worth stop in and value for moneybacon rolls excellent with fresh coffee

Both my son and myself had the Cullen skink and a prawn sandwich We both really enjoyed them Both also had a coffee We will return

Have eaten here on many occasions and have enjoyed all visits. If anything has fallen behind a little, it would be the shopping experience, as it is not as good as it used to be. The food is good and varied. The cafe is located just off a large lay-by on the A96, it has its own generous parking and the lay-by simply adds to this, with room for several large vehicles. Well worth a visit

The food is good on any day of the week but Sunday lunch well worth a visit. Drinks can also be bought at the counter.

So...I’ve seen a few reviews on here about bad attitudes and service being awful. To be honest I can understand why people would think that but I’ve just put it down to being stressed and busy. Always been polite when taking my order and the food is quick to come out. It’s also good portions and tasty. At then end of the day that’s what I was there for.

Two elderly women who shouldnt be serving the public. One took our order not even a smile or thankyou . She said in a grumpy way what do you want !!! I felt like walking out before I gave her my order. There was four of us and we were hungry or we would have walked out. The woman out front was also nasty more or less throughing our food at us. I will never go to this restaurant again I will also tell our friends not to bother.

Am a regular visitor to this restaurant on the way north. Food is aways good and very reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Popped in here on our trip up north. The food was delicious. But a couple members of staff were rude and did not serve with a smile. Asked for more milk and was made to feel like it was a task. Staff were clearly unhappy with this and discussing it whilst we were at our table. Was going to have a look in the attached shop but grudge giving my money to a business that does not have customer service at the heart. Needless to say we will not be returning.

I am a young girl and was visiting this establishment with my family. I approached the counter to request an additional cup and more milk for our teas. The response from the older woman serving me was appalling. She shook her head in disgust and grudgingly handed over more milk after a group huddle with her coworkers obviously discussing how “unreasonable” this was. We were then made to feel very uncomfortable/unwelcome and I never even received the cup for my tea. I personally think that manners costs nothing and it would do a lot for the business if the staff actually cared about what there being told to do. The old woman that served me had a very bad attitude problem and we didn’t get a single smile from any of them.

I called in advance to check dogs were allowed and was told yes as long as they were not a large dog and to choose a table at the back/corner. Also told dogs not permitted at the counter.

Having travelled a distance on Flooded roads we were glad to have a stop and rest from driving, we were served by a lovely polite young man , the restaurant was very welcoming with a real cosy fire on , great when its pouring down outside , the shop was also Great to wander around was able to pick up some bits and bobs for the Grandchildren.

Stopped for lunch on Friday 6th September, ordered cullen skink and egg sandwich. Sandwich was delicious but so disappointed in the cullen skink. Almost totally big lumps of tasteless potato, very little fish with thin stock, not milky or creamy at all. I love this soup and couldn't believe a restaurant of this quality would serve this up. I took a photo of what i left in bowl.

Been here a few time now. It’s situation is handy distance from my home for a wee run out. I especially like to visit on a hot summer day when I can sit outside. The cafe offers ample parking & has lovely views from the cafes spacious interior. The menu has something on it for everyone & there is more than enough cakes for any sweet tooth visitors to have with their coffees. It’s clean, has reasonable costs & is swift in its serving. A good pit stop for anyone looking to weet their whistles! ☕️ 6/10

Visited here on Saturday. Great selection on entering, but down hill from there, the girl that was taking the food order was awful, the que was kept as a que due to her speed, snails pace.....we then went and ordered our drinks, and a grumpy old lady took our order I ordered 2 one shot lattes, and asked for one of them to be put into a larger mug for my daughter as she is disabled....one latte was put in front of me the other was a black coffee in a mug supposedly for my daughter, it was obviously thrown in the the mug as it was spilled all down the side and in the saucer, I explained that no it was two 1 shot lattes one in a mug and one in a cup, so the coffee in the mug was thrown out and a reg latte was placed in the same mug, with the old coffee granules inside the mug and a dirty saucer....I know this isn’t much of a bother to some, but I wld like it to be clean...I explained once again that it was again that it was a 1 shot latte in the mug not a reg....by this time I was beginning to loose my patience, and the grumpy one just got grumpier, eventually I took the coffees to our table only to find that they weren’t hot, so back I went....then our lunch arrived 2 of the plates were fine my friend had ordered quiche salad, but brought quiche and chips instead, so once again complained and was changed over, the salad wasn’t fresh had black spots all over the lettuce, disgusting....never attempted a cake as ld prob have been given a scone instead...

We thought we would stop in past for a spot of lunch as we were ravelling back from Huntly. There is a menu at the entrance to the Cafe/Restaurant but really menus would be better on the table as you feel rushed when you have people behind you wanting to look at the menu. When you get to the counter there is the everyday menu which is nicely done but then you have this shocking out of the way big white board with other things they do. It is quite extensive, hard to read due to the awful scrawly handwriting. Customers stop to read this and then there ends up with a queue here too. The young man behind the counter was nice but because rushed very curt with customers. As for the lady that was serving the meals, oh lordy she had the grumpiest face. I smiled at her twice not an effort from her at all she looked totally p'd off in all the time we were there. All cakes and bakes should be covered and the 2 plates of cakes closest to the till were not. This is just not acceptable anyone could have sneezed or coughed on them. The place is actually a little bit grubby the walls are not clean with marks down the walls and the floor looks grubby. The seats are not wiped down and they have a lack lustre approach to cleaning the tables. Oh, and the cheese scone was awful. It was more sweet than savoury. The panini was good as was the soup and the bread with the soup was really nice. I used to love this place. We will go back but tweaks really do need to be made starting with staff attitude and cleanliness.

This was a first trip back to MMcV for a billion years, so it was good to find the food was still fine.

Had a great lunch average prices but my partner returned from the gents toilet to say the young lad from the kitchen went to the toilet and left Without washing his hands we watched him go back through the kitchen door discusted

Staff at the restaurant were wonderful and very helpful, two lovely, polite, young girls served me at the weekend and were able to answer any questions I had on the food with a smile. Food was quick, good value and filling with big portions. the gifts on offer in the shop were also brilliant with so many nifty things.

Baked potato with children nice pot of tea great surrounding with a food hall and shop to visit after

Service was great, butternut squash soup was nice and hot. That was all I can be happy about. Very pricey for all that we ordered. Sat near counter all we could hear was the young lass moanin constantly how bored she was, 'I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored', she just keeped on going on and on. All that she was doing was standing at the till, I'm sure they were other things she could have done. Her blouse under her armpit was disgusting, a horrible brown yellowish stain which very clearly could be seen. It was sweat or properly her fake tan seeping through, looked awful. The other young lass who took our order was very pleasant.

We popped in past Morgan McVeighs for breakfast on our way to Inverurie, and once again we were not disappointed!

Stopped off for quick bite to eat, food was very reasonably priced but was disappointed in The quality. Vegetable broth was basically a bowl of barley. Cakes looked good but were average tasting. I’d much rather pay a bit extra for nice food.

We had macaroni is the best i had for years my mum had rost beef it very lovely and warm the two staff call karen davidson and irene Fraser is so helpful karen coffee are the best
