The best restaurants in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

One of the worst meals I have ever had here. Everything was frozen. Will not be back for dinner that's for sure. The management did actually deduct the price of one main meal that was the one good thing of the night. Sorry to write this about this hotel as it used to be one of the best in town but now probably one of the worst.

I arrived just before closing but was only looking for a take away coffee. The staff were so rude and made me feel uncomfortable- and I was out of shop before closing time. I won’t return which is a shame as I will be making that journey regularly

Lovely food great service especially waiter called.jim

Don't go there and don't work for him he doesn't pay wages he says is a lying ***** don't go near it .

Wonderful food Extraordinary service

The last review paul, wasn't joking about the chilli beef! 10/10

Returning customer, love their food. Delivery guy is lovely, always helpful.

The rude (blonde bobbed hair) server rolled her eyes when I was undecided on cakes and enquired if the cakes in the refrigerator were fresh cream, to which she replied “No, nothing has fresh cream in it” and she felt the need to address me abruptly when ordering my hot beverages. She turned her back, and did not acknowledge me again, leaving the other younger server to complete my order and payment. The irony of her t.shirt stating “good food, good mood” left me chuckling and led me to express to younger server “is she having a bad day”! I will never be back here again. Being from N.Ireland I can only leave a statement we would apply to a situation like this… “Who are the cream off her bun”!!

I was through in Aberdeenshire for the weekend and we were looking for a good restaurant. You can't really go wrong with fish and chips or the Ashvale. What was even better was being able to sit in. We were here on a Saturday night and it was reasonably busy. We all had Lemon Sole, it was lovely, a really good helping. I should also say the restaurant is nice to sit in.

Very friendly and hard working staff

Considering it was mobbed the service was still brilliant, atmosphere was great also

Beautiful food, really kind and welcoming staff. Will definitely return. I would say the chips with Salt and Chilli were slightly spicier than I've come to expect from Chinese takeaways and personally I LOVED this. However, if you don't like it hot then let them know you'd like less chilli.

Nov 2024 update....Huge improvement in the standard of food since 12 months ago.

Good food good excpicaly the chicken curry salt and pepper chips and there curry sauce
