The best restaurants in Huntly, Strathbogie and Howe of Alford Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Really disappointed. We always looked forward to our chipper the 1st night away in the caravan,and have done for many years. However this time will be our last. Dismally, small portions with a hefty price. The smallest portion of chips I have ever seen with each supper, and the jumbo haddock was half the size it used to be. I always spoke highly of Frank's Fryer but wouldn't suggest it now unfortunately .

Had a lovely evening meal at the Forbes Arms Hotel in The Bridge of Alford. The food was excellent and good variety and good quality, nice portions. Service was really good, friendly, and well cared for. Good value and nice atmosphere. They have really spent a lot on bringing this old hotel to a first class place to dine or stay.

The Salutation Hotel in Inverbervie is currently closed and it is unclear whether it will re-open again or not.

I was staying in the hotel and because I fancied a pint ate in the restaurant. The menu isn’t huge but that’s not a bad thing as the food is cooked fresh and is good quality. I had the burger and would have benefited from some relish.

We ordered from here whilst on holiday. The order was ready on time. Food when we got it back to our cottage was piping hot. The food was great, good portion size and I’d recommend the crispy duck and pancakes they were fab!

You got the chance to look round the shop without the intensity of the owners talking you through everything. No one wants to be pressured into buying things, and people will buy if they are allowed to do so at their own leisure. Stocks some lovely food and hope the shop does well, just a little less intense experience would be much better!

We visit regularly for lunch, coffees etc so thought we would try afternoon tea. We had a 2.30 booking. The table was decorated very well and the service was good the food was a bit of a let down. The bread for the sandwiches was delicious but the fillings were just ok. The sweet chutney with the ham was over powering and the chilli cheese again was just a little sickly. The Quiches were all very dry, however the sausage rolls were excellent. The cakes were a mixed bag, the raspberry posset was lovely, the scones were just so dry and overcooked, they didn’t really taste home made ( I buy scones regularly there ) the shortbread was overcooked and crisp, the coffee and brown sugar cake was just dense and tasteless, the brownie was very bitter. It was quite a shock as we have coffee and cakes so often there. We will still go back again but it wasn’t a great afternoon tea experience I am afraid.

Staff seemed disinterested. Food was below average .whats with cheese on the menu and plastic rubber in the food, The coffee was straight oot o trough....worst fluid i have had in decades.

Lovely afternoon tea, loads of treats and savouries on offer with helpful and cheery staff. We will definitely be back again

Went in for a kabab for my grandson and myself, I have eaten many a kabab but this is the worst one yet, meat was horrible and not sure what the sauce was but it was disgusting and expensive. I will never go back.

I can speak for the chipper side of things here. Red pudding excellent and chips very good. Service great and prices reasonable. Don’t let the fact it’s a Chinese takeaway put you off, I’ve been very impressed.

Avoid like a Covid Out Break, First impressions of the out side was what the Hell have we booked , its tired and outdated exterior greated us, As we walked in to the main entrance we were greeted with a closed reception desk with a closed blind and a smell I have never encountered before, and I've done a few jobs in my life. We made the decision to ask at the pub next door about our booking and to be fair the bar made was nice I can't falt her, she gave us the room key and told us where to go but they weren't serving food this night, thank God the local Indian restaurant got our custom. On inspection of the building it was as tired on the inside as it was on the outside. The floor was moving in places under the carpet. Fire door not closing on the landing and the fire escape door on our floor would need to be kicked open in the event of something happening. The room was clean but am glad am close to my partner as the toilet door in our room slid close and we had to put the TV up loud when It was in use. We never went for breakfast, so we could make a quick escape in the Morning. It's well over priced for what you get.

Amazing food as always! My favourite Chinese in the whole of Aberdeenshire. Service is also always good. Portion sizes are great and the food is always piping hot 🥵

Whilst on business,Went into get a curry, noticed place had changed and looked rather dingy and was told he was changing to a restaurant. Anyways had a bad time with my hotel so my mood wasn't the best. Waited 20 mins for my bhuna and I had asked for a receipt so I could claim it back. I picked up my curry and went back to hotel only to realise there was no receipt. After eating 1 fork full of I can only describe as the strangest chicken bhuna I have ever tasted, I went back to get my receipt. I was then met with a screwed up face that he didn't do receipts. A few verbals were exchanged and I left fuming with having received a crap meal, no receipt and £15 out of pocket. HMRC I hope your watching....disgusting place
