The Deeside Inn - Speisekarte

My friends and I had a great dining experience here. The Venison pie was outstanding, with tender, lean meat and delicious gravy. The restaurant had a pleasant ambiance, although a noisy table of guests and slow service were minor drawbacks. We would still consider returning in the future.

We visited both Edinburgh and Ballater on our holiday to Scotland and found a number of pubs did not want children inside, even before 7pm. Some wanted a full meal bought by the family if the children stayed. The Balmoral Arms was welcoming to us and our 8 year old son. The staff were friendly and relaxed.

Lovely stay here Great location Very dog friendly Lovely large room , clean and modern Food on both evenings was very good there is a restaurant and bar dog friendly) could choose any thing from menu in either area) Staff friendly and helpful Nice lounge area Had a very good back massage in the spa room We managed to park directly outside but a free car park is very close by Only negatives : The kitchen fan starts very early which was quite loud in our room Glassalt) There is no lift which may cause a problem for anyone with mobility issues Certainly would return Lovely Inn Speisekarte ansehen

Ghillies Pub service defines poor. On Thursday June 8 we arrived before 5:00 pm. We had to obtain the meal menu on our own. The server was occupying a table until about 5:10 when the attentive bar tender sent her our way. At about 5:45 we were wondering where our order was. It appeared to us that our server had not sent our order to the kitchen. The bar keeper found the order and let us know that it would be about 10 minutes. The server asked us if she could be of service, oblivious to the fact that she took our order. At about 6:10 we asked for our drink tab and that the food order is cancelled. Amazingly, our tab had a charge for a different wine and an obligatory 10% service gratuity adde...

I am a very picky 5 star type of girl lol and this restaurant made me entire time in ballater. It was the entire Scottish experience I cannot even explain! These 3 men sat and drank beers while playing Scottish music. Which I never knew I loved! I listen to rap and country lol! It was incredible I don’t know if they were hired or playing for beer or just for fun! I’m still desiring to find out! I love the culture here it is so friendly our waiter was so kind and bar tented. You can tell it’s a casual small town vibe so don’t expect fast service anywhere in this city! Usually two ppl are running the whole restaurant because it’s not that busy! Which I got the hang of expecting that and it’s j...

We were a party of 6 cyclists travelling to Inverness over a 5 day period. The Balmoral Arms was twice the cost of almost everywhere we stayed and less than half as good. Its only saving grace was the staff who, without exception, were friendly and helpful. My twin room on the second floor was extremely cramped, had a wooden casement window which defective and no air conditioning. This was during a spell of extremely warm weather (10 August 2022}. The bar had no draft lager of any sort. After ordering white wine (sauvignon blanc) from the menu we were told 5 minutes later it had run out. A different bottle was ordered and brought to the table after a 10 minute wait. It was barely below room... Speisekarte ansehen

Despite its five-star premise and beautifully designed interior, our dining experience at this restaurant quickly turned sour. Upon arrival, we were disappointed to be ignored by three staff members, a sure sign of poor service. Despite booking ahead and being drawn in by the enticing menu we had seen online, featuring haggis, a grill selection, and the omelette Arnold Bennett we were excited to try, the menu we were presented with was significantly smaller than what was advertised. We were informed that the menu had been changed at the start of the year, with other patrons having complained about the limited options. To make matters worse, one dish was unavailable, a pie had to be served wi...

Despite its appearance as a wonderful venue, this establishment turned out to be horrible. The front of house had a beautiful decor, but the rooms were lackluster. The bathroom window was rotted, requiring the handyman to close it, and the draught had to be stopped with a towel. The handle to the shower control fell off, creating another task for the handyman. Expecting a nice meal in the restaurant, we were disappointed to learn that dinner would be served in the bar with a limited menu. The overcooked and dry salmon, along with my partner's misrepresented chicken supreme, left much to be desired. The following day, breakfast had undercooked poached eggs, served in the dining room at least....

We were given a voucher for an afternoon tea for 3 and having read the online menu for the same, I was looking forward to trying it. We were seated in the room to the left of reception, a lovely looking room with a huge fireplace...... that wasn 't lit. 4 degrees outside and only a few more higher inside and no fire. Also, no ambient music, nothing. It was like sitting in a doctor 's waiting room. The young lad was pleasant enough and the tea arrived promptly enough. The online menu stated lovely sounding 'delicate finger sandwiches ' , (salom and cucumber, coronation chicken, local cheddar and marmalade and a hummus and beetroot wrap) a homemade venison sausage roll, a selection of indulgen...
