The best restaurants serving British food in North East Scotland

Dog friendly tea room with great selection of food and drinks The sourdough bread (Wild Hearth Bakery) served with the soup of the day was particularly tasty. I enjoyed a fruit scone with raspberry jam and clotted cream accompanied by a pot of tea

I love going to The Three Lums, it is such a friendly atmosphere, very welcomed by everyone, and the staff are fantastic. Phyllis the manager always seems to be there and she is always so attentive & accomodating. Food is also very good & very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

Came in on Saturday for coffee / drinks / snacks. Between all of our friends we spent £120+. The waitress with short hair was nothing but rude the entire time we were there clearly didn’t want us there from minute we walked in. We noticed tables were reserved for later on in the afternoon but at the time we went ins had plenty of time for drinks and to eat some chips etc. First time we went in since moving up to Stonehaven will definitely be sticking to other places in future like station hotel where you feel welcomed. If you don’t want groups coming in for drinks / snacks etc then don’t offer that. Extremely rude.

Came here on Easter Sunday. The service was first class. The food was delicious. I had the soup + toastie combo which was delicious. We would definitely come back again for a Sunday treat.

Decent evening meal. Was fairly quiet on a Sunday so they were serving in the Ghillie Bar rather than the restaurant. Salmon was tasty, perfectly cooked and well presented.

Newly Taken over and renamed the Waterton Restaurant, for an Ester Sunday Lunch we were the only Customers ((thankfully an other couple did come in, Service was good with the exception of we didn't get our starter as the young server forgot, she put down our mains then came back to the table and could not apologise enough, no real big deal as we then decided to have sweet after. The Mains, mine was a Steak pie with mash and veg, £16 + disappointed as what appeared on my plate was a shop bought individual steak pie (£2.50) instead of of a terrain of steak and puff pastry. My wife had a Confiet of duck leg with Thai Curry (different, I know), don't get me wrong the food was OK but along with two desserts was not worth the £49 we paid

Went for lunch, a huge queue and as we were getting closer to the front, I noticed the staff member was asking for names and phone numbers. She then walked away and left the book open for everyone to view. My colleague gave her name and I asked why we had to give phone numbers. Response in case anyone RAN away without paying. I gave my works phone number as I was not comfortable giving my personal phone number, especially as the book is open for anyone to see. I did say this to the staff member and she placed a pen over the phone number as she took us to our table. A waitress took our order, very matter of fact and no smile. It wasn't personal as she was the same with every other customer. A little bit of pleasant customer service goes a long way. A young guy brought our drinks, he was lovely, well done. The food, panini with brie and bacon was delicious, however all a bit flat due to the welcome registration and the female server. Came home and looked up GDPR Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency - not told how the data would be used. Storage limitation - It was recorded in a huge book with hundreds of other names. I didn't see anyone destroying our information when we left and it is likely still there with many other names. Integrity and Confidentiality (Security): Absolutely no security The restaurant must be able to demonstrate that it is complying with GDPR principles. None in place. The place was busy, I didn't want to be confrontational as I wasn't clear on what was acceptable. You do know there is a huge fine applicable for breaking GDPR? I read another review where someone was unhappy giving this information. I don't event think they are allowed to take this information is there is no lawful reason to do so.

Ooooh. Truly great fish and chips in a village that knows well historically what it costs to harvest the sea. Whitehills has been a favourite of mine over many, many years. First as a child on caravan holidays in nearby Banff, later visiting vacationing family and taking my own along, and lastly as a wonderful experience for friends staying in the area. They'd already sussed out that Rock Fish is often fully booked, so we went early with a backup plan to get a takeaway if - as we immediately noticed - every table had a reserved sign (at 4pm!) However, they managed to sneak us in to a table that was reserved for slightly later, and that came as a relief to the oldest member of our party on a cold, wild day on the north-east coast. Imagine being at sea, or landing fish, in all that. We were treated to three very different and delicious dishes and one of my companions even tucked into a combo of fish and chicken, both of which suited her fine. My haddock was simply perfectly cooked and served with a smile, even though staff were very busy with large numbers of people at the takeaway counter and arriving to be seated. Whitehills and the wider area has other fine eateries and lots to see and do, but this place is where I'd go again and again for warm, local dining experiences.

Fuimos a ver el fútbol el domingo - estuvimos allí todo el día - fue justo después de las 12 y el ambiente era genial - estaba muy ocupado antes de las 2. 30 pm, que es inusual para cualquier bar el domingo en Aberdeen - creo que el pub tiene un autobús gratuito a los juegos de Aberdeen Home, que es una idea fantástica, ya que estás recompensando a los fanáticos que beben en su pub dándoles un aventón de ida y vuelta del juego - simplemente fantástico - también crea un gran ambiente en el bar y la cantidad de televisores que tienen es fantástico puede ver como 3 partidos a la vez, por lo que pasamos casi todo el día - el servicio por el personal era genial - la comida era bastante buena asalla por un gran precio -

Disfrutamos de un almuerzo encantador en el Ploughman hoy. La píldora de langostinos me fue recomendada como entrada y no decepcionó. La carne asada para el principal también fue una gran opción. Gran servicio. Definitivamente volveré. Será.

Tomamos el té funerario de mi papá aquí. La habitación estaba perfectamente equipada y el personal era amable y muy servicial. La pasta para untar era preciosa, con un montón de té y café recargados. Gracias a todo el personal por ayudarnos a despedirnos de mi papá. xx

We were there during the Haal festival and the restaurant was very efficiently run and the food was great.

Went here with my mum for lunch. Ordered 2 sandwiches, a tea, a can of juice and 2 cakes... It came to £32!! The cheesecake & Panna cotta were £6.50 each, if I'd known this before I paid, there's no way would I have paid that price especially for the cheesecake!! I know the price of things has gone up but £6.50 is extortionate for a small piece of cheesecake!! Staff were lovely, the lady carried the tray to our table as I had mum in the wheelchair, very pleasant lady

Asistimos al evento Hogmanay Hoolie el 31 de diciembre. Champán o refresco y marquesinas saladas o dulces a la llegada, que eran excelentes! Muchos de ellos. El personal era amable y atento. La comida de 3 platos también era bueno, con un niño que Buffett proporcionó que también era bueno. La banda comenzó alrededor de las 21. 30 , eran buenos, tenían la pista llena. Un gaitero a medianoche seguido de un excelente espectáculo de fuegos artificiales de 5 minutos afuera. Luego de regreso adentro para la sopa de lentejas con carne o pastel de queso mac y un mini rollo de Aberdeen ... .. todo sabroso y excelente! Luego fuera de casa alrededor de las 12. 45 . Un excelente evento Hogmanay... .. solo negativo, los precios de las bebidas eran muy altos... .. £ 9. 50 para una naranja fresca y limonada y una limonada.

Nice cup of tea and scone served by very lovely staff. We walked fast after our tour to get the table by the window! What beautiful views. The lady serving us told us about sea life and birds we might spot and offered us use of the binoculars. She was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. She offered extra hot water for our tea and chatted with us. Lovely. Would visit again if we were in the area.
