The Tin Coo. in Aberdeenshire

Been here many times and its always fantastic. The food is really fresh tasting and the choice is great. The young lad is efficient and friendly and the service is excellent. Has lots of fresh local produce for sale too and their is a large soft play area for kids. Good value for something that bit different and I strongly recommend going here.

Thank you so much for a great delivery. Products ordered were great. The order included bread, brownies, flour, sugar, pasta, pies, milk, veg and more. Was delivered within 24hrs. Definitely ordering again.

I have visited the tin coo twice recently- once for afternoon tea and once with family for food. Food and service is always good and our younger family members loved the soft play area.

We went to the TIN COO after checking their web site to find out milking times. Four o’clock every afternoon. Arriving we were disappointed outside looked run down , we just put it down to the time of year. Inside was as we expected after reading reviews. We explained that it was our first time and the young girl pointed out the cow milking viewing area and the soft play. The soft play area did not disappoint our grandson. How ever to fill in time we had burger and sandwiches coffee and juice £27.50. We were talking about the cow milking to our grandson when the waitress said there is no cow milking, the cows are feeding there calf’s, disappointment ! We then were told by another person that they have got rid of the milking herd. As we were leaving at 3.45 people were arriving for the 4.00 milking. Would have thought they would have updated there website. No easy task getting there

Popped in past just to be nosey, farm shop/Cafe, plain food ,little Deli counter, was taken with the plat area for toddlers and you can watch the cows being milked , if you are there at milking time, would visit again.

Booked afternoon tea with my daughters and granddaughter it was lovely, the food tasted really good. The food arrived on a small picnic table, where do we get one. I love it. And to finishing of the afternoon we went to see Santa in his grotto

Had a great time scavenging pumpkins and designing them into lanterns. Our family loved it and we would definitely recommend it to others. Also had a great lunch there beforehand.

Arrived for pumpkin carving and some lunch. Kids loved the wheelbarrows and collecting and carving their pumpkins. Great idea! Very friendly and helpful staff in the outside area. Lunch for 5 of us, kids burgers went down a treat. They also had Halloween strawberry special milkshake, always a winner. The stacked Coo burger was amazing, homemade double burger that was perfectly cooked complete with Gooey Camembert cheese etc. Amazing. All in all another great visit, the extended outside area looks well and is a good addition to the mini farm and play areas.

stopped by for the big coo brekki i found the sausages were flavour with garlic or something spicy not my thing. anyway every thing else was fine although side plates for the toast would have been nice. staff pleasant and attentive prices right. imagine this would be a nice adventure for parents and children with the mini farm near by. may stop by for coffee and cake in future but breakfast will be at one of our many other haunts in the area

Booked an afternoon tea with friend for 1pm last week . Arrived on time and waited until 1.50pm for the food . Savoury foods were lovely but the cakes all melted and soft. Clearly not stored in the fridge. Service was slow to say the least. The poor solo waitress was trying to keep up with demand but difficult when speed is no applied. Unsure if this is advertised correctly as three sheep , a couple of goats and two turkeys does not make a farm !

Lovely shop lovely food lovely service and staff. One thing I’d say if you little one can’t walk fully by themselves or climb this is not the easiest soft play area though it says 1-6 yrs only if they can climb and have good walking balance yes it good. Play area and animal park could do with been updated and more disabled friendly. Grass paths could of been cut and animal shed doors would be better facing where public can see them inside shed as well as out side.(as most were in shed:-( The sinks for washing hands after visit is unclean and not looked after. I feel they have spent more time on shop and cafe but if you advertise a pet area please make it more safe accessible for children and disabled. Great idea just needs more work on animal park and play area . Points are for out side not inside

Lovely little place , play area for kids, some farm animals to view We sat outside as it was a lovely day Service was slow , perhaps because we had a table outside ? When the young waitress did come out We asked her what the soup of the day was She didn’t know , i found that disappointing, she didn’t know what was on the menu !! She had to go back in to find out I ordered macaroni and chips, which the macaroni was tasteless, the chips were lovely My hub had a club sandwich he also said was tasteless, my daughter had a ceaser salad , she enjoyed it , but her hot chocolate had lumps of chocolate in it , that no matter how much she stirred wouldn’t go away The place itself is nice and quaint Worth a visit , I would go back , but the macaroni needs improved to taste like cheese ? restaurants never seem to get hot chocolate right Sells some cards , and cuddly toys, mugs, some foods Nice little place, just have your staff know what’s on the menu And more taste to the food 😀

We've been here a few times now and we like it. The food is good and reasonably priced, and service is friendly. Good menu choice and they have a kids play area. The fish and chips were particularly good. This is a working dairy farm too which many should find interesting too. They also have a farm shop selling dairy cheeses, butchery and gift items.

Food ok but nothing special for breakfast plus outside play are was full of cows dirty .. should be clean because kids playing over there

We had lunch here at the weekend, this was our first time and it was okay. I ordered the ploughman’s, and my partner ordered the cheese and oatcakes. Service was pretty slow. Ploughman’s came with 2 slices of bread but no butter? Everything was fine but no wow factor. Table next to us ordered scones and they looked quite small. I think the idea is great, you can eat in cafe while they are milking the cows,I just think a little bit more thought would make this a fab place to eat!

Breakfast was nice and tasty however the pricing of the menu is very expensive for the setting of the restaurant. The choice in the farm shop is similar to that of a supermarket whereby everything is sold in plastic and not loose as you would...

Our meal was edible, we did have to get our own cutlery, I found the meal a bit bland, and the youngsters were not very patient

Just been for afternoon cheese picnic high tea with my other half for my birthday. It was absolutely lovely. 6 x different cheese /oatcakes Sausage roll/scotch egg Cup of soup Egg mayo club sandwich Slice of cheesecake Scone with cream/jam Individual Victoria sponge Raspberry smoothie...

Visited here on a Friday lunchtime and had a lovely lunch. Myself and a work colleague were delighted with our Macaroni Cheese. Tasted great, and was very well presented. Wish i had ordered the chips now as saw another diners and they looked great. Really...

Can’t fault the food one bit - the burger was one of the best I’d ever had. The chips were so tasty, nowhere makes decent homemade chips anymore! But the service was slow, and not very attentive. Was a lovely wee day out though, even...

Have never been and was very pleasantly surprised.A lot to offer for connoisseurs of good food-loved the burger (real beef one)- and what a big portion .

a few of us went for a toastie or something like that. ended up with 2 burgers and the special of locally sourced haddock, at only £8.95 I was sceptical as to how fresh or good this would be.. it was delicious and possibly the...

Wow. Just had my sons first birthday party at the Tin Coo and what a great time. Venue was cleaned for the party and the staff were unbelievably helpful but the food was the star attraction. The adult and kids food was superb and everyone...

A great wee place to grab a coffee and also pick up some locally produced cheese or otger Deli items. Really worth going for a look. (The cafe looks straight onto the milking parlour but we were too early for the milking.)

Staff were unenthusiastic and uninterested. Ordered food at the same time as friends and friends sat with theirs for 25 minutes and I had to chase my family's food 3 times and staff were totally unapologetic and actually said, 'as you can see, we're busy'....

Love this place, visited a few times now and they deliver every time. Warm welcome from friendly staff. Great selection of top quality locally produced food. Too many local businesses are closing their doors due to consumers not supporting them for whatever reason. I certainly...

We went for breakfast at The Tin Coo this morning and weren’t disappointed! We were a table of 8 with 4 children. Service was quick and the food was great - the ‘Big Coo’ was too big for me though as I had to leave...

An excellent filling lunch served by young enthusiastic staff who couldn’t have done more for us. Will certainly be back again.

We decided to take some visiting family members to The Tin Coo for breakfast. We’d booked the table the day before and glad we did. On arrival most tables were taken and the soft play and shop were pretty busy too. Very pleasant and welcoming...

Well.. the front of house staff are not very animated. On our trip (not our first time there) the food we ordered was lukewarm/almost cold and the coffee wasn't brilliant, the milk tasted like manure. I've encountered the owners once or twice and to be...

went for a light lunch . we ordered sandwiches and two teas with a side of chips which never came and when the sandwiches came they were ok but nothing special. when I went to pay for them I was in for a shock charged...

We went here for the delicious-sounding afternoon tea for my partner's birthday, and although the quality of the food was fine and fresh, the selection was slightly odd and disappointing. I had phoned beforehand to ask what was included, as there was no menu to...

I was a little disappointed with the lack of choice on the menu but.... I what I chose was the MACARONI....it was FINE...with HOMEMADE chips (which we shared) The wife chose a sandwich which was OK too.... With tea for 1 & a glass of...

My husband and i went to the tin coo today for lunch was very disappointed in the portion sizes we had a ham sandwich with one piece of ham in the bun and very little chutney and the smallest amount of crisps i expected more...

Came here with family for lunch, after some members had found their cheese at another shop. We had hummus rolls and a ploughmans platter with coffee and two kinds of cheesecake. All the staff were very friendly and the food came out fast. Everything tasted...

I had seen a lot about here from social media so when we were in the area this weekend we took the opportunity to go. It’s quaint and a little of the beaten track but well signposted and the new road is very close so...

Will be back. Macaroni and cheese was delicious. Really friendly, comfortable surroundings and food was great. Granddaughter had a great time.

This is a great place for a wee trip out of the city. There are goats in the car park and a lovely coffee shop. There’s soft play for the kids and you can watch the cows being milked at 4pm. There’s a great farm...

Came here with my partner and our 3 year old daughter. The burgers were fantastic and I like how they have a separated soft play area for families to sit at whilst they have their food. Afterwards we went and had a look at the...

Had a lovely afternoon tea, plenty of food and nicely different to ones before. Few negatives, soup was cold and the sandwiches had way too much margarine for our liking. Would have been nice if green tea had been included in the afternoon tea rather...

Have visited the tin coo multiple times and have never left disappointed. I feel you get a real sense of being one working farm which was educational for my children as well as plenty of fun things to keep the kids entertained. The service has...

Had been looking forward to visiting the cafe for some time but left very disappointed. After queuing for sometime we were told that the coffee machine was broken and they could only offer filter coffee and tea, so ordered a coffee, milkshake and scones. The...

I popped into The Tin Coo as we were in the area. The road there from Portlethen is a bit rough, but it looks as though the road may be joining the new bypass at some stage, so it would be a better journey when...

I will start by saying we went with a voucher but I don't think it impacted on what was received. I feel sorry for them as all the roadworks around aren't helping but we located the place OK and there was adequate parking. Walk through...

Visited for lunch. The menu looked promising but didn't really live up to the descriptions... I ordered the pulled pork dish, but unfortunately they had run out so I had to default to a burger. The burger itself was tasty but quite dry. A bit...

Wrong kind of soup on the board,told it was another kind and then she came and said it was another kind after me ordering it,couldn't have the third kind as I didn't like it.ended up having a cake and a pot of tea,it came through...

We'd heard a lot about this little enterprise so decided to pay it a visit on a rare day off together. Once we found it, as it's off the beaten track, parking was easy with plenty of spaces. There is a separate children's play area,...

When a deal came up for The Tin Coo then I knew I had to have it. The voucher was for two people to have Lunch for £9 instead of up to £20, so two vouchers were purchased and we treated our friends Moira &...

We regularly visit the Tin Coo for coffee and lunches so we were very excited to try the picnic afternoon tea. However we were to be extremely disappointed with this. It came with a smoothie but no choice was given on flavour. I do not...

Fantastic food, great service and very helpful staff! The soft play was small but did exactly what it was meant to. Small selection of animals which is as enough, the milking of the cows is a must see!would defo recommend. Also has a wee farm...

Have been here a few times and the novelty factor is good. Food in the shop is also good quality. Yesterday I took my aunt for lunch but unfortunately, despite there being a separate room for children the restaurant was full of small children all...

Plus points; Great little play area indoors for young kids Viewing gallery for milking cows would appeal to kids and adults alike Busy and friendly atmosphere Polite and helpful staff And the bad areas Food was a joke, a chicken BLT sandwich which was returned,...

Although my daughter had visited before, myself and my husband had never been to the Tin Coo but had heard great things. I was desperate to try their very cute looking Picnic Bench Afternoon Tea and, even though I phoned just a few days before...

We arrived at 11.30 to find that the breakfast menu had finished and the lunch menu did not start until 12 which seemed a long time to change from 1 menu to another. I decided just to have a scone but my wife wanted to...

This is a place that should not be missed if you are in the area. In fact it is so good that you should go out of your way to visit. The restaurant is brand new, staff very friendly and the cream scones and tea...

Went for an early lunch today and found at 11.30 on a Saturday that there were some options on the menu that were unavailable. Service was shocking to start with... we waited a while to get our order taken and when we did put in...

Lovely shop with great fresh food to buy. Nice food at cafe and great to have something like this locally

My first visit to the coo and was impressed, tea and scone were lovely, loved the farm environment, will definitely return

Friends had been before and recommended it and the high tea seemed ideal for option for my mothers birthday. Was not disappointed - proper tea (I was told) and refills. The high tea included some sandwiches, soup and an abundance of cakes/sweet treats plus the...

I was looking forward to visiting The Tin Coo having read a good review about it but did not know where it was. Imagine my surprise when we came upon a signpost for it quite by chance. It is a quirky little place - seated...

Visited the Tin Coo with a friend for lunch. First impressions from the menu were the dishes were a bit over priced (just under 4 pounds for a bowl of soup and 7 for a baked potato!). Opted for the 6 ounce burger and after...

We visit here on a regular basis as it's close to our house and it has a child's soft play. The soft play is relatively small but good for kids under the age of 6. Not so great when it's really busy. The food here...

We visited this week so our grand daughter could have fun in the Soft Play area which she did. We ordered food, I had an All Day Breakfast" and my wife had a special of the day which was Chilli and Rice, after long wait...

What an amazing place, Went for brunch. Food all home grown and served very quickly. Excellent value. Loved the viewing area for where the cows are milked. Loads of home made cheese, meats and cakes to be purchased. Just first class, I will return

We visited recently for afternoon tea - it was amazing! It was nice to have a change from the usual sandwich selection with the open croissant, soup and prawns. The scones were delicious and the cakes were all lovely and huge! Great value for money...

Really fresh good food. Burger one of the best I've had superbly made and cooked and served with decent hand cut chips. Try the toffee moo moo....

Have been to the tin coo 3 times now, all have been great. Once for cooked breakfast, once for a burger and lately for a special treat, had their excellent afternoon tea. Was really impressed by their varied selection of savoury and sweets.. the croissant...

We visited the tin coo for lunch .such a great place to take the family .the kids loved the soft play and watching the cows get milked while we had a lovely lunch .great value for money for a family day out will defiantly be...

go here off and on and always have a fine cuppa and a scone. I do like the look of the afternoon tea looks amazing. will try this the next time we go. they do a selection of meals and their puddings/cakes are great as...

So much potential but really poorly executed! This place would be a great experience but for a couple of points. 1: dirt dirt and more dirt. We arrived at 3:30pm with the excitement of viewing the milking to find a shop which clearly hadn't been...

I recently found out about this place and I'm glad it's quirky and the food is very tasty and the presentation of the food is spot on. There is soft play for the kids and they also at certain times of the day let you...

Took a bit of time looking for the restuarant as thought it was banchory devonick but it's actually nearer portlethen . Wasn't sure when we arrived as wasn't what we thought it was and as it had a children's play area thought it might not...

We have been enticed many times to visit the Devenick Dairy by the signs on the South Deeside Road - it would have been helpful to know it's actually practically at Portlethen to save us bothering!! We did not use the cafe, which all looked...

Lovely place with a cafe, soft play area and a shop. The meals are tasty and reasonably priced. Good selection of cheesecakes made on the premises. Worth a try!

We regularly visit Devenick Dairy Cheese Shop to purchase cheese and Rose Veal. It is located on a dairy farm some 2 miles from the small town of Portlethen .Recently the Groat family who run this enterprise expanded the business to include a tearoom with...
