So glad I remembered about Deans! I was starving today and struggling to find a place to get hot ready food, with fair portions and at a fair price..
The quality of the food is just great! I got the salmon quiche with tatties, salad, cheese and chips 😍 I could feel the box was FULL to the brim, plus a small bottle of water all this for just over a tenner!
Service is amazing, workers are doing a really great job. You guys saved my day😂
Highly recommended

Staff were welcoming and friendly. My first visit. Had lattè and cherry & chocolate scone. Very pleasant. Picked up lots of shortbread for yummiest. Enjoy

We went yesterday for lunch so we ordered two coffees, a soup and pudding deal and a soup and bacon bap. The coffees were cold got them replaced. My pudding was never coming, 3 times asked if I was ready for it, it took another staff member to go and get it as a takeaway as my husband had gone and left me sitting waiting. I was offered a coffee - really after a cold offering! I did get a refund and apology of only 2 in the kitchen doing their best. Maybe in this instance their best wasnt good enough. If this is the situation then reduce the menu so that they can cope.
We will not be back.

Delighted to find Dean's restaurant open again. The staff were lovely and the restaurant tables nicely spaced out for social distancing. The menus were laminated and collected in after order to sanitise. The food was plentiful and tasty. The coffee is great. I will be going back with my disabled family members as it is well set up for wheelchairs, having both space and a lift.

Excellent food let down by poor customer service.

Had a visit yesterday after a lovely trip to Huntly Castle.
Our food was lovely, freshly prepared and great quality and I did really enjoy it, however I did feel let down by the customer service when it came to my daughters meal.
I know that fish comes with bones but within 2 bites she had found 3 (quite large) bones and was unable to continue eating.
I mentioned this to one of the staff behind the counter and was told "We're not really responsible for that." and while I see what she was getting at, if you're preparing a dish and serving it to customers there is always a responsibility, doubley so when preparing a dish for a child. I've prepared fish many times and it's fairly simple to check a fillet over for large bones.
The staff member advised she would pass on my concerns but never offered to take my details should someone higher up decide to contact me about my complaint.
My point that we had purchased a meal my daughter was unable to eat was basically dismissed and I felt this was a bit disappointing given the very high standard of every other aspect of our visit.

EDIT: I would like to add that I later spoke to a Dean's representative who was extremely understanding and professional and I'm very grateful for thier understanding.

Went here today for afternoon tea and it was lovely. Sandra, who managed the booking and our food was just brilliant. The food was lovely too. We also got two separate plates each so that when we finished the savoury, we didn't have bits of it on our sweet. We also got a doggie bag (is this still PC ☺️) as we just couldn't finish what we had. First time visit but "I'll be back" ☺️

Fantastic place to visit in Huntly.
Delicious crumbly shortbread in really interesting flavours in addition to the traditional. And you can even see the production line in action from an upstairs vantage point!
Food and drink options in the cafe all very tasty indeed (everything I've tried at least!). The Sunday dinner generous and tasty.
I notice the car park has been beautifully redone and there seems to be other improvements going on so looking forward to that. Yum 🙂

Lovely place to visit and see the production of shortbread. The gift shop is extensive and there are a lot of shortbread to purchase here. There’s a cafe inside and clean toilets. You can purchase factory bulk shortbread by the bulk or by the box too and it’s cheaper than those sold prepackaged in shops.
