The best restaurants serving British food in Mearns Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

The five star reviews are right. A super stop after a walk to the rocks of solitude. Lovely village and a quaint cafe. Excellent nachos and various sandwiches. Great cakes too. No complaints at all

Great Sunday roast Aberdeenshire roast rump of beef Yorkshire pudding veg and roast potatoes also half roast chicken with skirlie Hugh portions. Home made apple pie and custard fantastic.

Came here for Sunday lunch whilst visiting st Cyrus for the weekend after seeing the reviews of the Sunday roast. Waitress was friendly and the food arrived piping hot and the portions were huge! The roast beef was so good just melted in the mouth. The sticky toffee pudding and custard was so good aswell and all reasonably priced. Would recommended and will be back to try more of the menu when in the area.

Lovely, tasty, fresh food in a beautiful setting, very friendly staff too. Well worth a visit. Would return it I’m back in the area.

The staff were very helpful and the girl serving was attentive and the food was delicious that the chefs made good choices quick service I would recommend it enjoyable

We stayed in lodge not far from this hotel and after reading that our host recommends this place for a meal we decided to give it a go in our last night.Food was delicious and portions were really generous. Thai green curry was outstanding, lots of flavour and nicely presented. All staff were super friendly and nice.

After a 30 minute wait for take-away food very disappointed. Panko Haddock dry and not fresh and Chicken Fillets tasteless.

A lovely lunch as always. So sad that Balmakewan has had to make the decision to close permanently. So many people, both local and passers by will miss the wonderful food, service and the welcome given on every occasion.

This chipper has gone so down hill since it reopend we had chicken fillets and a sausage supper, the fillets were so over cooked they were as dry as anything, the sausage was just greasy and as for the chips over cooked, cold, greasy & inedible, not even the bin enjoyed it.Will not be going back again.
