What an unexpected pleasure! We dropped in around 4pm on a Thursday afternoon. The greeting we received was delightful and the food freshly cooked, well presented, very tasty and good value. If we are passing by again we will certainly return.

Was out at the sea view hotel (Boddam) for our Sunday dinner, we had the Cullen skink followed but the roast chicken dinner with the selection of sorbet to finish up, from the minute we walked through the door till we left we were treated with the upmost respect and catered for brilliantly, nothing was too much or a problem!! can’t thank the staff and the chef enough for great food and great time!! definitely will be back…….

Had Sunday lunch at the Seaview Hotel, roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and veg, with a side dish of cauliflower cheese. The food was absolutely delicious and the 2 young waitresses were lovely, nothing was too much trouble, so friendly and smiley. Would definitely recommend this place for Sunday lunch.

We have to say that this wasn't bad. Visited after a trip round the prison museum. This is scored as the best food in Peterhead....and it's not even in Peterhead. The negatives were the home made rolls (tiny and uncooked inside), the overcooked veg and the cheesecake with little in the way of base. However, the roast dinners were otherwise good and the Yorkshire puddings impressive. Also, the sticky toffee pudding was good.
