All Day Dining

Saplinbrae is a place for guests and locals alike to enjoy beautiful, honest food, unhushed and unhurried, in the eye of the Buchan countryside.

We believe in all day dining, and welcome guests for morning coffee and scones, lunch, and dinner. You can pop in past at any time - treats like a millionaire’s shortbread or a warming bowl of soup which are available all day, every day too. As a special treat at the weekend, we serve Afternoon Teas on Saturdays and Sundays.

Our new lunch and dinner menus are available from April/May 2022. Please click below to download the menus.

Although we love do animals, unfortunately they are not allowed in the hotel building, which includes the bar and restaurant. Dogs are welcome in the outside seating area of the restaurant & bar.

Afternoon Teas

Served from 3 - 5pm at weekends, our afternoon tea includes Ythan finger sandwiches, savoury chefs canapés, mini scones with jam and cream, mini meringues and a selection of wee fine pieces and cakes as well as tea or coffee.

Must be booked at least a day in advance.

• £25 per person, £10 prepayment per person to be paid upon booking.

Please note we do not serve afternoon tea during the month of December.

Relaxing With Friends

WINE • COCKTAILS • SPIRITS • BEERS

We have sought quality wines, spirits and beers from several independent vineyards and Scottish brewers, which complement many old favourites.

We are proud to offer a selective cocktail list, which has been matched to our style of food - we recommend the espresso martini as a great alternative to an after dinner coffee!

Our Snug is as close to a traditional local pub as can be - the beer flows and the rugby can always be caught on the telly.

Locally Sourced

SPECIALLY SELECTED

Being farmers and having a strong agricultural connection, we deem provenance to be of the highest importance.

We are committed to sourcing locally, and always source from Buchan, Aberdeenshire and Scotland as far as possible - our fish comes from suppliers in Fraserburgh, Peterhead and Sandend, our beef from Foveran, much of our pork and lamb from our own family farms in Kininmonth and the Black Isle and our vegetables from Morag in Crimond.
