The best restaurants in West Garioch Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Such a cute Micropub! Sam, the landlord, arranged a retirement ‘do’ for me in the upstairs function room, with drinks, a platter of pork pie/sausage rolls/chutney and a generous cheeseboard, which everyone enjoyed. The feedback from my guests was entirely positive!

Just a quick visit on Saturday morning - as usual excellent coffee and scone. Definitely worth a look - place going like a fair!!

An absolute foodies must!! 😋🤤 See you all soon!! Andy your menu is perfection!! S&K

Quaint old waiting room converted into a café. Good service, fine pieces, great atmosphere.

Great wee place, food was brilliant and waiting staff were very good with my little daughter. Good environment. Will defiantly be returning.

Loved everything about the porterhouse staff where attentive, food perfect just what I needed on my week away

Beautiful views from the cafe . Good location with parking. Pancakes are the best and made fresh . Staff friendly and helpful

I was expecting a truckers cafe, and this was great, there were good honest food, good prices, great bacon butties, and soft fried eggs, mugs of builders tea, just fab and we will stop next time we’re passing for sure

Had a chicken tikka masala was absolutely beautiful chicken was lovely sauce was gorgeous

· Wow where to start, I found this gem while visiting the local area. The inside is very warm and cosy and beautifully decorated. The staff were so warm and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. No impersonal self-check-ins here people! My room was on the top floor and can only be described as a cosy little snug. Gorgeously decorated with pretty lighting and an illustration of a castle. The bed was decent and had a lovely tartan rug on top. I was delighted to see there was a pretty antique-looking writing desk and chair in the room with plenty of space to hang clothes and store bags. There is a nice bath in the bathroom and this is the first place I saw had a proper bath matt as well as a matt in front of the loo. No moving the thin little matt around with a foot in this bathroom! I loved the fact that I could open the window in both the bedroom and bathroom. Pleasant continental breakfast, and decent coffee. The evening meal I had here was scrumptious everything on their menu looked amazing. The dining room had so much ambience and music in the background was not over loud meaning people were still able to talk to each other. Parking right outside. Bravo! highly recommend. I ended up booking a second night. Would visit again.

We stayed here on our way through the region. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. And has lots of parking. Absolutely recommend. There is also a neat castle you can walk to not far away (Dunnideer) and some standing stones.

Saw a big difference with the quality of sausage,bacon etc in morning catering 9th feb.I expect lunches will be the same. Farmers do know good food and will pay for quality.Nothing wrong with the "old" favourites,Mince tatties skirlie Broth, Tattie Soup,Steak and kidney,Macaroni and well filled pies.Rice Pudding,Crumbles,Eves Pud,Apple Tart.Best wishes to continued success and see footfall increased.

Went for lunch, a huge queue and as we were getting closer to the front, I noticed the staff member was asking for names and phone numbers. She then walked away and left the book open for everyone to view. My colleague gave her name and I asked why we had to give phone numbers. Response in case anyone RAN away without paying. I gave my works phone number as I was not comfortable giving my personal phone number, especially as the book is open for anyone to see. I did say this to the staff member and she placed a pen over the phone number as she took us to our table. A waitress took our order, very matter of fact and no smile. It wasn't personal as she was the same with every other customer. A little bit of pleasant customer service goes a long way. A young guy brought our drinks, he was lovely, well done. The food, panini with brie and bacon was delicious, however all a bit flat due to the welcome registration and the female server. Came home and looked up GDPR Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency - not told how the data would be used. Storage limitation - It was recorded in a huge book with hundreds of other names. I didn't see anyone destroying our information when we left and it is likely still there with many other names. Integrity and Confidentiality (Security): Absolutely no security The restaurant must be able to demonstrate that it is complying with GDPR principles. None in place. The place was busy, I didn't want to be confrontational as I wasn't clear on what was acceptable. You do know there is a huge fine applicable for breaking GDPR? I read another review where someone was unhappy giving this information. I don't event think they are allowed to take this information is there is no lawful reason to do so.

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.

Me and my Dead by daylight Comp Team (SIGMA) Where strolling through this town and spotted a 'rainbow chinese' And then we realised is this Feng min from dbd?? If you don't get this reference "Feng min" is a playable survivor in DBD from China. This was a great chuckle with the SIGMA team! We decided to head in and order a Feng min special. I could almost taste the bloodpoints that were coming out of this meal! Great DBD Chinese 10/10 reccomend!!
