Village Pub And Grill – Village Aberdeen

Great for Saturday dinner. good sport cover. Something happened to the burgers. was good at previous visit. fish and cios were good. the staff was friendly, the service levels were not great. will be visited again.

Pretty poor, afternoon tea not worth the value full price £17.50 pp) and not worth the itison price either £21 for 2). Service poor, tried to call few days before to check booking no answer at all. On the day the restaurant was fairly quiet but barely a member of staff on hand. Menu not expected afternoon tea style and waitress did provide alternative but didnt listen to food allergies and therefore the replacements werent eaten. Food bland and not what we expected from 4* hotel in Edinburgh. Overall disappointing and wouldnt recommend.

Walked in to be left standing about as staff went about with setting up jobs. Found two staff who kept insisting “nuhin was booked” told them it was just a table for 8 no set menus which they kept mentioning. Again left standing in the empty restaurant as they went to find someone else. They sat us at the afternoon tea set up then asked us to move after about 5 minutes of being sat there when we said again we weren’t in for that. Took us about 20 min and talking to 4 staff to get to the point of ordering drinks, once they were ordered from the bar a drink was forgotten and had to be ordered again after 15 min. Food came pretty quick and for the most part was good. Ordered plain toast with poached eggs and this came with avocado on it, not a huge deal but wasn’t what was ordered. However a chicken Caesar salad came without the chicken. After telling the staff it took the best part of 25 minutes for a whole grilled breast to come to the table with muttered apologies. As part of the apology a voucher for a free coffee from Starbucks was given, the person wasn’t drinking coffee. After we had finished we sat there with dirty glasses and plates in front of us for about 30 min. In that time I watched the staff serve meals to and clear the only other two tables around us. We decided against desserts at this point and left. Genuinely just got the impression we were an inconvenience from the start, maybe as we were the first table in but definitely won’t be back anytime soon.

Food was outstanding and the range of items from starters through to dessert was fantastic. Waiter service was exceptional, very attentive without being always in your face. If I had to put any negative it would be the chef was not around much for carving which was a shame, more thought needs to be put into that side of things.

Food was terrible. Waiter was excellent. Room was quite cold. Kids eat free and I’m a member so got 25% off. Wouldn’t visit again for the Sunday lunch, service by joe I think) was best service ive seen in a long time. The regular menu is fine, not great quality, but a vast improvement on the Sunday lunch
