The Ship Inn in Aberdeenshire

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.

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

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.

We visited during the day mid-week, we was quickly welcomed and the staff was really lovely. I really loved how the staff appeared to have a great relationship with locals who must fill their day there - that’s such a wonderful thing! 👏 We couldn’t decide from the menu, there was so much options. Our food was really good, highly recommended! My mozzarella sticks were good but the same as a frozen packet. I did love the dip though. Soup, nachos and spicy burger were good. The burger maybe needs something more, more sauce or cheese etc. The bathroom was immaculate! Thank you for this nice experience.

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