The best restaurants serving British food in Peterhead North and Rattray Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

We had been recommended that we should try kat’s diner. A warm and friendly welcome. As soon as I notice currywurst was on the menu I was sold it was like being back in Germany agin. The atmosphere was very good with the American theme. A recommend stop for anyone who happens to be on a motorbike too.

Made to feel welcome by friendly staff. Delicious food of a high standard and great value. Would definitely recommend a visit.

The Dolphin has been on site at West Pier on Peterhead Harbour for three decades, serving favourites including fish and chips using product landed at the harbour. Burgers, jacket potato and pies are among the regular offerings along with pineapple and banana fritters. The baked tattie was great, by the way. But there was a surprise on the menu on the day we visited. I asked what the soup of the day was and the answer: "Mince and tattie soup." Shocked but interested. I had to try it. Take a bow, Pauline, it was great, wee chunks of meat and packed with vegetables. Five-a-day not a problem. Fancied a sticky toffee pudding but was told to resist as we were heading for dinner in a local hotel that night.

The staff serving are lovely but the food quality really let our visit down. The Canadian pancakes were stone cold, the streaky bacon barely cooked. The crispy bacon bagel was anything but, the streaky bacon again barely cooked and smelt like it was off. The cappuccinos were just a milky coffee with no froth. £20 for inedible food means sadly with regret we won't be returning.

I was there for lunch. Food was great.

It is horrible to walk into as everyone smoking outside. Also, when the back door opens the smell of stale, smoke goes through the restaurant . Tables are a mess with leftover plates and never seem to have many staff cleaning. Like an old man's bar with smell and drinkers.

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