The best restaurants serving British food in West Garioch Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

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

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

· 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.

I ordered a baked potato at 11.45am on 04/01/25 at the start of lunches. When it arrived, it was really burnt. I started to eat it, but then brought it to their attention that it was so dry & burnt. They offered to return it to the kitchen & was off to bring it to the kitchen’s attention! I declined to return it & picked away at it, because by then, that had put me off my lunch. I mentioned this when paying for it, & I had been given a price reduction of 10%, which resulted in a mere 99p off my bill. I find that insulting & won’t be eating there again!

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.

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

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

Llevé a mi familia aquí el sábado por la noche y los seis de nosotros pasamos un tiempo estupendo. visitamos en enero y no fue genial. Hablé con el nuevo director en el tiempo y dijo que estaba poniendo un montón de cambios en su lugar. Así que decidí intentarlo. Tiza y queso es la mejor manera de describirlo. La comida era excelente, el personal era muy elegante y agradable. Mi madre preguntó si el abadejo podría ser empanadas en vez de maltratada y no era problema y era de primera clase. volveremos pronto sin duda!

we had a lovely stay at Thainstone house. it’s a beautiful building with lots of charm. the service was impeccable- reception & wait staff were friendly & welcoming. the room service was high quality, even topping us up on drinks & snacks. I had an amazing massage from Samantha in the spa, who was very professional. the food was 10/10, with the best fish & chips and sticky toffee pudding i have ever had. highly recommend!

My story is very similar to Louise L (July 2024). Met here with friends for coffee/catch-up/a browse/lunch. We all ended up with parking fines. Saw none of their 'obvious' signs - buried in a hedge is NOT obvious! Tried phoning for assistance - totally dismissed. Tried appealing - got a set script in response. Very expensive day out! None of us will be back.
