The best restaurants serving British food in Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Great dog friendly pub! The chef goes above and beyond for you! Makes amazing Currys and even spiced up my chilli! The Guinness is pretty good too. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous service very understanding ex cellant coffee and wonderful porridge amazing customer attention Fabulous thank you have a wonderful day ronnie mathieson

My visit was on a cold snow covered day. We had an early booking, maybe that was the reason for the young waitress not knowing and providing us with confusing info of the menu. Once that was sorted everything went well and a very satisfying meal was had by my family.

Came here for lunch and it was lovely. I had the mozzarella and roasted veg ciabatta and it was delicious, my mum had the lentil soup with a cheese scone and she said it was nice. The coffee was also really good quality.

Dog friendly restaurant overlooking Clunie Water. Great range of food and drinks on offer. Service is not fast, so be prepared to wait

So packed in now and chairs cannot be pushed back to get in. Sharp practice of serving large coffees at obviously higher prices when only a coffee had been ordered. Yes, there are two sizes but the server should ask!

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

Quality food and service. Highly recommend!

Visited the Bistro a handful of times and can’t fault it. Best place to eat in Alford. Cosy and friendly atmosphere, staff welcoming and food is great and good value for money.

We booked our evening meal in the bar for five nights, 10th -14th February 2025. The meals were chosen from a great menu, even our dog had her tea from the doggy menu. Our meals were delicious, different meal every night, with great service from the Dave and his welcoming bar staff, sitting by the open fire. There was a special Valentines menu on offer on Valentines night. We would definitely recommend anyone staying in Whitehills or Banff area to go and have a meal or even a relaxing drink at the Seafield Arms.

This place is a good bit out of the way in the Royal Deeside area, but it’s well worth seeking out for a tasty breakfast or lunch. We stopped off on a Sunday lunchtime. As usual, it was busy. But thankfully, having been here several times, we knew to book. Saw some disappointed looking people who hadn’t. The food here is consistently great. The firm favourite for us, is there soup and panini combo. A true bargain for just under a tenner. What’s so great about it, is that the soups of the day frequently change. On this day, I had the carrot and coconut, my wife had the tomato and basil. Both were fabulous. Bursting with flavour, as we have come to expect. My panini with tomato, pesto, and mozzarella, was delicious. My wife’s roasted vegetable and hummus one, just as tasty. The service here is excellent. The ideal balance of friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. It’s a fairly compact place, with space on the ground and balcony levels, as well as decent sized outdoors area, for summer days, and people with dogs. This is a firm favourite for people in the know. But be sure to book in advance.

Despite being busy service was 1st class as usual. Staff polite and attentive and friendly Food was amazing 🤩 wish I never chose a starter as I struggled to eat my main course

Lovely setting, lovely food and wonderful, friendly and helpful staff...special shout out to Lukas who looked after us really well :)

Been several times to the Fife and it never, ever disappoints. From a warm welcome by the lovely staff, lovely setting to eat and drink to fabulous food! The owners are very humble and down to earth with a real passion for the service they deliver! It’s all to easy to complain about negative experiences but for us, The Fife, ALWAYS DELIVERS… Well worth a stop before all others in this area.

Adorable salon de thé très bien décoré, cosy, avec une service rapide, du bon thé, et de délicieux scones ! J'ai même céder à la tentation d'un sablé fourré à la confiture à emporter après avoir réglé ma note.
