The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Central Buchan Aberdeenshire North East Scotland

Had lunch here on a cold wet day. There are a couple of pavement tables but it was not a day for sitting outside. The soup was ideal and very tasty. It was noticeable that the staff were exceptionally helpful towards customers with mobility problems, going outside to help one person out of a car and through the door. Very heart warming.

This was an overnight stay with breakfast and dinner, so I experienced the full enjoyment of this family hotel. These hardworking and popular people are busy upgrading the hotel to modern standards, but they have kept the best of the traditional interior, small reminders of when this place was right at the centre of a very busy village, complete with railway line and agricultural mart, both of which have been repurposed to great effect. See Maud Railway Museum and Old Mart Cafe for details. The welcome at the Station Hotel is warm and informative, complete with unnecessary apology for some ongoing refurb noise. It's obvious everything's being done to a very high standard. The room was comfortable, clean and the tea tray contained an extra selection of fruit and herbal teas and a brunch bar that was more interesting than the usual biscuits. Evening meal was in the bar, where it quickly became obvious what a popular place this is for locals, including a jolly book group, and others who just popped in for a drink and a natter. The food was great, made all the more special by a section in the menu dedicated to local sources... and they really were (sometimes the word local does a bit of heavy lifting), so here's what was on my plate... fruit and veg from Longleys of Maud, seafood from McConnell's of Stuartfield and Peterhead and - when I return, which will be soon - most likely meat from Ewan Morris of Mintlaw and Stuartfield. Wow! And I have to give a shout out to the chef, especially for the smoked haddock fishcake, which is now up there with Cullen Skink on my delishfishometer chart. After a comfortable night, breakfast was in the oldest part of the hotel, a room filled with charm and history. I opted for the smaller breakfast as I was attending a morning event elsewhere, but the eggs were beautifully cooked and tasty, and I could have as much toast as I wanted. I was sad to leave this hotel with its lovely hosts and staff. A lot of bigger places could learn from the Station Hotel's Hospitality With A Heart.

Visited a few times now after the cafe reopened with new staff members. Great location, excellent staff and coffee and scones amazing.

Had late lunch so was in Bar. Place was cold so ate with our jackets on. Food Son had Curry it was not great was like out of a tin tbh and not worth the £12. Small fish was ok but get better value at a chipper. Mac Cheese again very small and not worth the money again reminded of being out of a Tin. Service was good but food not worth the money
