Potarch Café and Restaurant

Potarch is a family and dog friendly Café & Restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. We aim to consistently offer a wholesome menu using fresh and seasonal produce from our farmland, moorland and the local area. During the summer, relax on our decking area and enjoy your meal with a glass of wine or locally brewed ale, while looking out over Potarch Green and across the fields to the River Dee. For our younger customers we also have a large children's playarea which includes a sand pit and wendy house.

At Potarch we think that honest, local and good quality food is important.

We work with the Ballogie wildlife rangers and farm team to create moor-to-door and farm-to-fork meals, focused around our wild venison, seasonal beef and lamb.

We have a skilled butcher, chef, and baker on-site, and the speciality coffee that we serve is made by the former Head of Coffee for Allpress Espresso.

Activities

Potarch Café and Restaurant is close to the River Dee and a perfect location for enjoying outdoor activities on the estate, including our beautiful woodland walks or organised fishing outings and field sports events. Potarch is also one of the hubs on the Deeside Way, which stretches 41 miles from Aberdeen to Ballater, thus making it the perfect rest stop for cyclists and walkers. Within the grounds of the Café and Restaurant we will also have a well-equipped children’s play area.
