Bar & Restaurant

The restaurant floor has been stripped back to natural wood and this is complemented by the burgundy shade on the walls. The tables are finished off with local slate place mats and crisp white linen napkins.
When the months start to get cooler the hotel lights the roaring log fires in the restaurant to provide that extra glow.

The Deeside Inn’s restaurant serves a large variety of meals to choose from. Why not try the Deeside Steak Burger with sides of mushroom, cherry vine tomatoes and chunky chips or the Deeside Game main course, accompanied by whole baby onions and bacon lourdons bound in a plum tomato and red wine sauce.
