Mrs Smith's At Haddo - Aberdeenshire

Is the restaurant in violation of Tier 4 restrictions by serving food to customers seated outside at their own tables instead of offering takeaway options? By providing lighting and shelters for these outdoor diners, is the restaurant not technically offering outdoor dining services? It seems unusual to see other cafes not following suit and operating in this manner under Tier 4 restrictions.

Quaint little restaurant offering delectable coffee alongside locally made cakes and fudge. They also provide drinking water and treats for your furry friend. Enjoy outdoor seating during the warm summer days or cozy up inside.

Today, I had a delicious NYC baguette at Mrs Smiths. It was filled with pastrami, slices of Jarlsberg cheese, juicy dill cucumbers, and mustard all served in a fresh, crusty baguette. I also had a pot of Clipper tea to drink. The staff were friendly and welcoming. However, the only downside was the muffin - it was dry and the frosting tasted very synthetic. Despite this, I had an enjoyable lunch and will definitely be back with my dog. Thank you!

DO NOT THINK THIS IS MRS SMITH'S ANYMORE After a stroll around the gardens, we popped into the small café next to the car park for an early lunch. Have to say there did not seem to be a welcoming feeling as previous visits As someone who has food allergies we saw that cheese was the only thing available for me until found out it was white. No suggestion of anything even toast was offered, so we left !! Last time we were there, I had egg sandwiches... a lady came from the kitchen when she heard I could not eat what was on offer and suggested the egg sandwich. It was not as if the café was busy, no one was in there, I am sure that they had bread and probably eggs so do wonder why that was not suggested

I am biased when it comes to this place as we come here every weekend to walk the dog. The owner knows us as we've been coming for 4 years and she always comes out and gives the dog a treat . We love the coffee, the soup and the scones with clotted cream and jam! Kids love the brownies and the icecream.
