The Ploughman , Peterculter, Aberdeen in Aberdeenshire

Booked this as close to family nearby, but also because it is dog friendly. We had to eat in the bar area because of the dog, but this only fair to others diners. However the food was excellent and everyone enjoyed their meal. Good friendly service from staff.

The Ploughman was a recommended restaurant by the caravan park that we were staying in. And it did not disappoint. We visited The Ploughman twice for dinner in our 5 night stay in Aberdeen. Food was excellent, The Ploughman are not shy on portion size either. I had the sizzling fajitas, my parents mac’n’cheese with haggis, and my daughter had sausages one night and fish goujons the other. Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Certainly recommend this restaurant.

We fancied a bar supper last week and this is definitely the place to go for one. As usual we were warmly welcomed and shown to a table and menus swiftly delivered. We had both more or less decided what we were having to eat before we arrived at the pub and it wasn't long before we were tucking in to delicious roast beef for me and steak pie for Mr Sc. Sadly I didn't have space for one of The Ploughman's fab puddings but had to sample a taste of my other half's apple crumble. It was very yummy. We will definitely be back very soon for more of your amazing food and fabulous friendly service.

Having guests from the USA we decided to go to the Ploughman with a menu to suit all tastes. 16 in total was a challenge for the staff. We had an Amazing experience. Thank you to all involved.

First time I have been to The Ploughman in a long time. We both had macaroni cheese with chips - it was amazing!! The sauce was creamy and cheesy, just what macaroni cheese should be. Sticky toffee pudding was amazing too !! Lots of toffee sauce and it wasn’t dry. Will definitely be back. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work.

We have been visiting places as a family for Sunday lunch, hoping for a carvery, but they appear to be very rare these days so I just usually opt for the roast of the day which happened to be lamb today. I wouldn’t usually go for lamb but the mission is to find the perfect Sunday roast and, I’m sorry to say, that the Ploughman is definitely not it. There appeared to be lots of lamb but it was very small almost wafer thin slices with lots of gravy (which I do love), some veg, roast potatoes and skirlie. The potatoes were ok but the skirlie is the worst I’ve ever tasted. I hate to think that any tourists that have been advised to try skirlie while in north Scotland have it here and go back home thinking that’s how it tastes. This review is purely on the roast I had today and not an overall review of the restaurant itself. It’s a nice place and the staff were very friendly and attentive and the service was excellent. Will go back again just not for our Sunday lunch.
