Best Pub Grub?
« on: 24/11/2007 at 20:28 »
Hi folks :cool:

A question that I am often asked at Haddo is "Where would be a good place to get a meal after our fishing?"

Trouble is I'm always at the fishery, so I don't get out enough to know where to recommend :z7

So what would the forum members suggest :z8

Let's make this two types of suggestions for The Best Pub Grub :z16

(1) After a fishing session at Haddo, I would suggest "xxxxxxxxxx" for a very good meal etc :wink
(2) After a fishing session at "xxxxxxxxx" I would suggest "xxxxxxxxxx" for a very good meal etc :wink

Should be interesting!
Best wishes

Mike

I usually head for home after Haddo so I dont know any in the area.

I would recommend the Seaview in Boddam if you are  doing a bit of sea fishing or SWFF in the Peterhead area the small hotel overlooks the harbour in Boddam so if you are  looking for a hearty meal after Bass fishing in the area it does a great "High Tea"

Dont be put of by the 70's decor, the food is good and great value for money , the last time we were there, there  were 7 adults and 3 kids , we had  the "High Tea's" drinks and two bottles of wine , all for under £100 , beat that for value  :z7

Know the feeling on that one, the perfect job but not so good for the social life :!

Jim,
i have not been to the seaview for a couple of years but have had many a good meal there and very reasonable as you say, i would recommend it

After a winter fishing session at Haddo,  a visit to Planet Spice in Inverurie for a decent curry is a worthwhile plan  :wink
After a fishing session on the River Don near Alford I would suggest the Muggarthaugh Hotel (Muggarts) for a very good meal and better still a decent pint  :z16

Grayling fishing on the River Earn. Head for the Coll Earn Hotell which is off the Main ST. Auchterarder. Good steaks at a fair price but best of all a "roaring" log fire

Seaview in Boddam is really good for a pub lunch, as is the Country Park Inn in Mintlaw!

Isn't the pub in Methlic supposed to be good?

My friends and I will always remember the fantastic stake with bacon and stilton (with fries and salad on the side) we had in the Forbes Arms in Bridge of Alford, after fishing the Don at Monymusk. As far as I can recall the pints of lager went down pretty good as well... :z18

Bon apetit!

Well if your heading back this way, you'd struggle to find better than Briggies, or http://www.ythanhotel.com/ to give it it's official name. Really good food, and reasonably priced too.

I can definately recommend the Ythan View in Methlick (I live in the village) great food and people. Food is served 12-2pm then 5pm-830pm ish weekdays, same at weekends but with specials on the menu from Friday night. I have stuffed myself many times and can recommend the Sticky Toffee Pudding!

Not exactly in you guys' area, but the Craigton Coach Inn at Monikie (Angus) tries to get your belt to bust with the portions you get there, and the quality of nosh is unsurpassed as well :z16.

May mean there's a lot of "large" people around Monikie??? :lol

Like haddie and chips actually means two big  :z15 :z15 and a mountain of chips served on a plate like a dustbin lid.

Some of the very finest pub grub ever served to ravenous fishers. The owner's on site, behind the bar - so the place is run right.

Unfortunately, no connection with me, worse luck.  :cry
