New Lighter Lunch Menu

We have seen various, and hopefully always improved, changes to our menus over the last five years at the Milton but Grampian's and particularly Deeside's abundant larder provides us with continually increasing choices from which to create our menus.

Our Kitchen Brigade, headed up by Executive Chef (and a Masterchef of Great Britain) David Littlewood, continue to develop their ideas which I am proud to offer to our discerning customers. Each of the team have won one award or another:

Bob Miller - Head Chef
Grampian Seafood Chef of the Year 2010 (Gold Medal)

Alex Hay - Sous Chef
Grampian Chef of the Year 2010 (3rd Place / Silver Medal)

Craig McKenzie - Chef de Partie
Scottish Young Seafood Chef of the Year 2009 (Gold Medal)

Becky Purcell
Becky is our latest and youngest recruit and is already showing signs of being able to hold her own in the competitive world.

On the back of being awarded an AA rosette, we are now looking more closely at what we provide and it appears there is an increasing demand for a lighter lunch option at the start of the week.

To satisfy this, we have produced a new menu for Monday and Tuesday which will hopefully satisfy as many palates as possible - from Open Sandwiches and Soups, which change daily, to our irreplaceable Smoked Haddock Fishcakes and a choice of Platters, each of which is made up of Homemade or Aberdeenshire produce.

We hope everyone will enjoy the new menu. However if you visit and feel we have missed the mark and you would have preferred something else at the start of the week, then please let us know and we will look at amending where appropriate. Our usual All Day Menu is available from Wednesday onwards, our Fine Dining menu on Saturday night and the Roast Beef Special on a Sunday as always.
