The Airedale

Emma and Daniel have recently taken over this great wee rural pub. Popped in tonight on a Thursday evening and wasn’t disappointed. A nice selection of beers (Cairngorm Brewery features highly) and a really comprehensive menu given how remote this pub is. Food is fab cooked fresh by Emma. Highly recommended - local folks get in and support your pub !!

Great pub, may not look much from the outside but inside it was really lovely and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. We had good beer and great food. The whiskey sauce was so delicious I would happily have it on just about anything.

Food was lovely, we got steak and ale pie which was enjoyable, the cheese and bacon burger was a little over done. The fries were yummy as the other reviews say. The highlight was the chilli con carne on the nachos it was delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food took a little while to come out considering we were the only customers but overall a lovely little meal

Loved it. Unassuming from the outside but with nice character, good beer and even top quality non-alcoholic beer. Would recommend stopping in, especially as it's away from the more touristy parts of Deeside.

Been a couple of times now and would highly recommend. Staff are friendly and welcoming, the food looks great and is cooked fresh to order and the atmosphere is lovely. Would recommend going on a Friday as that's music night and the vibes are great

We were looking for something to eat around Tarland. We arrived late and tired at the Airdale. Despite the late hour and the kitchen being closed, our host reopened it for us and served us a very good meal. On top of that, we spent a great evening with the locals, talking and listening to good music. The cook is very friendly and sings beautifully. (The two French bikers) I highly recommend this place.

So glad we found this treasure on our trek! We started with the haggis fritters and ordered 4 different burgers. Outstanding! Whiskey sauce is pure magic. Chips were perfectly crispy and salted. All four of us agreed it was the kind of meal you never want to end. The young couple/owners have made it through their first winter and I’m sure are going to have nothing but success with food and hospitality like tonight! Only wish we were visiting on Friday for live music 🤩

This was one of the best pubs I visited while in Scotland !!!! The owner Michelle is amazing !!! They have great fish and chips , a great pool table , karaoke machine but most of all the sweetest funnest staff ever Darin was a kind attentive bar tender and Julie was a fun great cook !!!! You are lucky if you get to stumble apon this charming little town and pub .
