The Ship Inn in Aberdeenshire

We were there during the Haal festival and the restaurant was very efficiently run and the food was great.

The chippy is just up the road from us but we probably only pop in to get chips once a month to go with a meal we are making. The chips are always good these days, as is the service and the staff are really helpful. On more than one occasion I’ve seen them going above and beyond to help out a member of the public. Also really pleased to see the phasing-out of polystyrene trays and plastic bags in favour of paper and cardboard over the last few years. Fish could always be bigger but you could say that about any chippy these days and the last few fish I’ve had have been really good. Highly recommended.

Overall correct but below our expectations: the blue cooking required for the beef was limited, the accompaniments not very elaborate or sophisticated and the industrial sauces (what a shame!) Plates generously served. Certain whiskey references presented on the menu were no longer available and obtaining advice is not easy. Approximate but attentive and friendly service.

Went with some visiting family for dinner. The staff were very welcoming & took us to our table. The meal & drinks were excellent, well presented & enjoyed by all.

Lovely evening dining with family. Menu was extensive and food delicious. Plenty of seating and the staff friendly and helpful.
