The Banff Springs - Aberdeenshire

This year's festive lunch was fantastic. The food was abundant and incredibly delicious. The baked camembert was a popular choice for a starter.

Turned up without a booking. They were happy to seat the three of us and provide a high chair. Excellent decor and very friendly helpful staff. Great choice of food and all we had was very tasty. Highly recommend.

I wanted to take my Aunties out for their lunch (one had just turned 91yrs young) I rang and asked for a window table in the bar. On arrival they explained that they had moved us to the restaurant, same menu available and given us the best table. The menu was plentiful, the service was excellent and the food (we chose from the light lunch options: sandwich, salad and crisps a drink). The filling in the sandwich was not only very tasty but in abundance too Price was as expected and will definitely be going back

Just back from a great 2 day Hogmanay package the Banff Springs. 5 couples and what a fab time we had. The staff were amazing from housekeeping, reception, bar and waiting staff breakfast and evening and the super events team, all so friendly, fun and professional. hope I haven’t missed anyone out. The food was also first class so hats off to the chef s . Thank you Banff Springs for contributing to such a memorable festive party weekend.

My husband and I have been going to the bar and restaurant for many years now. The hotel itself and staff are lovely and can’t fault the team at all. We had family up and as always as a goodbye meal we always take them to the springs as we call it. Now we had hear that there had been some changes but it didn’t put us off as it was one of our favourite places to eat. Well what can I say, it was appalling, to cut a long story short the food we ordered was freezing cold or undercooked, 5 times we had to send something back as it wasn’t good. Can I say I have never once had to complain about any meals we have had up until this point. The lass that was on that night I must admit she was very apologetic and we cam to an agreement that I would only pay for the drinks we had consumed as none of the food was eaten. Then just as we were going to leave we noticed one of the owners or the owner was seen talking to the young lady we had just dealt with, he was looking as us then just left. He didn’t have the decency to come and apologise or anything. This is the last time we will visit the hotel for a meal. Talking to some of the locals the following day and they also said they were none to pleased either, they said they have had many different chefs now and not even some of the locals are not happy. I’m very sad about this as it was always fantastic food. And the prices have shot up, 80 for a tomahawk steak
