New Aberdeenshire Restaurant Week
New Aberdeenshire Restaurant Week 1 week to go
Just a week to go before Aberdeenshire Restaurant Week serves up a host of special offers
With just one week to go, hungry diners are preparing to enjoy a mouth-watering range of delicious meals during the first ever Aberdeenshire Restaurant Week.
Running from November 4-10, the week-long event has attracted an incredible 66 restaurants, cafes and hotels to sign up so far across the region.
During Restaurant Week, customers will be able to enjoy a host of food and drinks offers which will help increase footfall by showcasing the amazing offering across Aberdeenshire to locals and visitors alike, highlighting value, quality, provenance and choice at a traditionally quieter time of year.
And it’s not too late to register a business for Aberdeenshire Restaurant Week – sign up by emailing restaurantweek@aberdeenshire.gov.uk
Cllr Gillian Owen, Leader of Aberdeenshire Council, said: “With such a wide selection of venues participating in Restaurant Week, it’s also a great opportunity to get out and about this November and explore what Aberdeenshire has to offer. But it’s not just about hospitality – our local high streets and attractions can all benefit from extra footfall and spend. Our small businesses are the beating heart of our communities, so how about planning a day out that includes your chosen venue but also includes a visit to a town centre, farm shop, local museum or country park. With so many coastal towns, bustling high streets, historical sites and countryside settings, a day out in Aberdeenshire has so much to offer.”
The Restaurant Week website has been visited by thousands of potential customers eager to see the special offers and tasty dishes which participating venues have cooked up for the week-long promotion.
One of the participating businesses is the Udny Arms Hotel at Newburgh – with owner Lorna Younge saying: “We are really excited to be involved with Aberdeenshire Restaurant Week as it provides a great way for us all to showcase the incredible produce and cuisine the region has to offer. As we are about to celebrate our first year in business, what better way to celebrate than with a range of special offers for our loyal existing customers and new diners alike.”
Jack Duncan of the Fife Arms at Turriff added: “It’s great to be part of Aberdeenshire Restaurant Week and everyone here is really looking forward to welcoming diners to enjoy some delicious food in great company and surroundings. The wealth of eateries taking part across the area and the wide variety of cuisine on offer is tremendous, giving people a fantastic opportunity to try new things at special discounted prices.”
Cllr Alan Turner, chair of the council’s Infrastructure Services Committee, said: “Next week’s promotions will help to highlight all the fantastic places to eat across the region and there really is something for all tastes and budgets thanks to our wonderful participating businesses. With the hospitality sector facing ongoing challenges around supply chain costs and the wider cost-of-living, we really hope Aberdeenshire Restaurant Week will give these businesses a much-needed boost and bring a wealth of new customers through their doors.”
