The best restaurants serving British food in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

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

The rooms are grubby, sheets dirty, decor is dated, don’t look too close as carpets, skirting’s and paintwork hasn’t been cleaned properly, hotel is a shambles, and don’t get me started on the sister hotel across the road…. It needs condemned

Food good, cleanliness wasn't upto much today though.

We have been in Ullapool for 4 evenings, eating differently each evening And the cooking here was the best I had lamb chops with an excellent dauphinoise potato followed by really good unusual apple and gooseberry tart with creme anglais She had a chicken breast stuffed and excellent cheesecake Memorable But the waiting staff were miserable dull uncharming sad and the room was hash lighting and ambiance

Excellent breakfast as always.....

Very disappointing, low quality ingredients and plated up with no imagination. Prices are average for what was on offer, but overpriced for what was presented.

My other half booked B&B for one night, just for the hell of it. I’ve given our stay a 5 ⭐️ review. The setting is lovely, service was excellent, plenty of staff, they were all lovely & very attentive, we also had dinner, the menu is not extensive but the choice was fine and the food when it arrived was excellent, clearly all home made & delicious, the biggest fish & chips I think we have ever seen! 😆 Our room was very snug, barely enough space to walk around the bed, there were tea & coffee facilities in the room but the funky lighting made it a bit difficult to get to the tea tray easily, no chairs, only the bed to sit on and the en suite had a sliding door, which I feel always indicates space is tight. The bathrooom was small but modern, clean and the shower was full sized, the towels were big, soft and luxurious, what more do you need. There were the usual hotel noises from other guests, we could hear those above us walking about, water running, etc. I think we were just jealous because 3 steps and we were in our en suite, 2 steps to the door, no opportunity to move about. 😂 However, come night time we slept really well, not a single noise before 7:30ish and no sound from outside or cars at all. All in all 5 ⭐️ are deserved, despite the small room, we don’t stay somewhere to sit in our room and the service, staff and food were all faultless. Would we stay again -absolutely.

Had to laugh at other comments....I think they love their microwave in the kitchen!!!!!!husband waited a good 15 mins for his apple pie and custard....we had all eaten our cake and coffee....so the lady behind the counter says chef is making the custard....so another 10 mins and out comes the apple pie and tinned custard that was overheated in the microwave and literally attached to the side of the plate

Went here on sat noon,sat outside for ten mins and service just blanked us-I then went inside and stood for another 5mins at the counter area,staff saw me there and made eye contact but still nobody came near us..we left and went two doors down where we got served promptly

Visited the garden centre with my Sister today and whilst there thought we would have a light snack. Neither of us were able for a full lunch so asked initially for child portions of chicken goujons each. We were informed by the Manager that they didn’t serve child portions to adults. Ok can understand that the child’s portions included other items like juice etc so we then asked for an adults chicken goujon which we would share. Adult price was £14.50. Manager asked if we wanted two plates and we obviously said yes. When the bill arrived it showed 1x half chicken goujons x 2, however the total price was £21.60 instead of £14.50 ! We did state that they had made a mistake (how can 2x half chicken goujons be more expensive than 1 portion ?) but neither the under Manager of the restaurant nor the Manager were helpful and we were forced to pay the inflated price. Disappointing as we used to enjoy our visits to the garden centre but based on this latest visit we will not be going back

We found this to be a pleasant shopping experience. A great stop if you’re on the road to the north of Scotland, or even living locally. It was clean, well presented and we were very impressed with the butchery in particular. The quality on offer was very good. The service we encountered from the staff was great. Loved the log burner in the cafe, and proper tea pots make for a great cuppa.

This is becoming very much a favourite for us. We have started phoning the day before to reserve produce to collect the next day. We have a quick once round the shop to see if there is any new products to add to our order consisting of 1/2 lb steak pies for my father in law who just loves them, 1 lb steak pies for ourself along with apple crumbles, scones, short bread to a total of £78, worth every penny. Then we go into the restaurant for lunch. Both of us are soup lovers so we settled for potato and leek to start, then my wife ordered a g f ham and cheese toastie, I opted for a cheese and onion toastie with coleslaw on the side. To wash it down the wife had a cappucino, I settled for a diet irn bru. We were both well satisfied set up for the rest of the day. A worthwhile trip. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back.

Stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed it very much. Room was not huge but comfortable. Staff very helpful. Food and service all good value for the price. Will return.

the service was really amazing and the staff were so sweet. the food was absolutely delicious and worth it. overall definite 10/10 :)
