Went here in the evening after literally coming to our holiday rental that day. Popped in and you can sit down and have a meal here if you wish. Its open 11-8 everyday. Ordered a batteries sausage and then fish and chips. They only do haddock here. When the order came I had two pieces of fish and chips (which I saw was the norm) and chips. The portion wasnât huge from what Iâm used too. I must say however the taste was gorgeous and the batter was yummy. Will visit again whilst saying in the area.

Visited this establishment again and confirmed it is still the best place for a breakfast (see photos). All that (9 items), a milk and 2 pieces of toast for under £8. Keeps me going all day. Our friends said that their Cullen Skink was the best ever too. The owner/chef is The World Champion in this field.

Visited for early afternoon coffee/cake. Had to wait ages for anyone to come out of the kitchen to seat us, then again to take our order (not difficult: 1 coffee, 1 tea, 2 desserts), and again to be able pay and leave. Itâs only a small space ( seats about 20) and there were 2 staff on duty for front of house: what on earth were they doing in the kitchen since all of our order was eventually prepared front of house? The coffee was bitter, the tea ok, but both desserts were dull (key lime pie was set solid by way too much gelatin, crumble redolent of school dinners). Being a converted church, we expected a light, airy space, but the space is small and cramped, with only one highly-sited window (so no view). The floor is slate and there are no soft furnishings so the sound from chairs scraping on the floor, the clink of plates/cutlery, the chat of other diners, and the coffee machine are all magnified to make it unpleasantly noisy (we gave up trying to chat to each other as it was so noisy). All in all a very poor experience for a price about 33% higher than better experiences nearby...Sincerest Apologies for your waiting time to be seated and served.Mid afternoonâs are very busy as we are still serving lunches.The staff are in and out of the kitchen to pick up food orders and we also have a coffee machine in there too.Coffee bitter and tea ok. This could have been changed on request for a possible loose leaf tea of which there is a wide selection .Our coffee is 100% Arabica, unfortunately not to your taste.Again desserts could have been changed if not to your liking, but it was pointed out that no beverages or desserts were left at the table as staff are told to inform management immediately in this instance, so they must have been consumed. Nothing can be done regarding windows as itâs a listed building. Also we canât do anything regarding people chatting. Yes the coffee machine does make a noise but thatâs what they do. We are in talks with companies regarding soundproofing materials for the ceiling. Regarding cramped space, we have some regular wheelchair visitors who come as they can get around the tables with ease.33% more expensive is incorrect as our dessert prices are very competitive with other local establishments and our seafood comes directly from the boats so we can keep the prices down. Our 1/2 Lobsters are £17-99 and 8oz Sirloin steaks are priced at under £20.

Went here for lunch time sandwiches twice this week and they were lovely. Called in at 5pm tonight for an evening meal. The place was absolutely empty but were told all the tables were booked. They could offer us a table but only for an hour as they needed that table for someone else. Very disappointed with this. Some places do not deserve to have walk in customHi .I am so sorry you were treated so badly last night at The Galley .Could you please email [email protected] with your phone number so I can give you a call .My Sincere Apologies again .Mandy

This tiny cafe is in the surprisingly picturesque town of Cullen on the Moray coast. It boasts a small but excellent lunch menu. We had the delicious Cullen Skink, Pan Fried Haddock (very good - it would do credit to any restaurant anywhere) and the Fish and Chips. We also had he Bramble and Apple Crumble (tasting of fruit, not sugar) with vanilla icecream and the sicky toffee pudding with what I swear is the best salted caramel ice cream I've ever had.

In Portsoy for 1 night, this pub was sooo welcoming, bar maid was excellent and made us feel really welcome, locals easily included us in their conversations, which is not always the case in small towns. Busy,cosy atmosphere with log stove, tv and music. definitely recommend. The building needs some maintenance attention.

Take away fish and chips for me, hubby had chips and macaroni pie. Fish lovely, chips fine, hubby enjoyed macaroni pie and chips. More expensive than other places, and not sure of price breakdown for items as when we discussed it prices on menu did not reflect the charge. Friendly staff. Would eat here again.

We were the only people having lunch at the time in this pleasant hotel. Friendly staff, a cosy environment, all clean/tidy and background music played at the right level.My meal was fine enough (haddock, peas & thin chips). The fish were a bit greasy and possibly the smallest catch of 2 x haddock from the North Sea known to man? Pricey for the quantity/quality. A relaxing lunch though. I'll be back to see if these points positively change.

Visited this small coffee shop for light lunch. I had Cullen skink and bacon sandwich, both fresh and delicious. Hubby had coffee and cheese scone, and a take away brie and chutney sandwich, all fresh and enjoyable. So, good food, friendly service, in a lovely clean setting. We visited this coffee shop when we were in the area this time last year, everything today was equally as good as then.
