The best restaurants serving British food in Lower Deeside Aberdeen City North East Scotland

The Marcliffe has changed hands recently and I'd hoped the high standards would remain. Sadly this is not the case. The food is still excellent but the service is sadly lacking. I suspect this is due to inexperienced staff and poor leadership. I had to ask to have a pre-prandial drink despite arriving 30 minutes before our allotted reservation time. We were given the wrong menus initially. We were brought the wrong bottles of wine (both of them!). The cutlery had fingerprints on them. I had to ask for our wine to be poured on more than one occasion. So disappointing and I hope things improve as the Marcliffe is/was one if our favourites.

The prawn curry was delicious! The STP was the best I’ve ever eaten 😭

Stunning interior for Afternoon Tea. Staff attentive and food quality and presentation great

Recently stayed at the hotel before attending a business meeting the next day. Happy with my stay, the staff were friendly. The room was perfect for my requirements & was very quiet. I left my watch at the hotel and they called to let me know & kept it safe until i could get back later in the day to collect. Would stay again.

Das Ardoe House ist ein grossartiges, schlossähnliches Gebäude etwas ausserhalb von Aberdeen. Leider entsprechen Service und Küche nicht im geringsten der baulichen Infrastruktur. Unmotiviertes Personal serviert lieblos zubereitetes Essen. Von ungeniessbarem Huhn über schlappe Pommes Frites bis zu zähen Fajitas und lahmem Gemüse war in vier verschiedenen Gerichten alles anzutreffen. Einziger Lichtblick waren die guten Stakes mit korrekter Garstufe. Uns sieht man hier nicht wieder.

Forgot part of my order. Very poor

The food is lovely but was totally ruined by the screaming of local football fans, the flatscreen TV in my face and then the crazy loud music. Considering its not a cheap pub, I really think the atmosphere is all wrong

Disappointing service. Ordered a hot chocolate with no cream, and was given a hot chocolate with cream. Politely pointed this out- the lady working the till offered to remake it with no fuss. I then proceeded to overhear a rather rude discussion between staff on the issue with me the customer in earshot, and when I collected the new drink and said thank you, I was completely ignored by the staff I directed it to.
