Kildrummy Inn in Alford: Modern British Dining in Aberdeenshire

Cooking led by David Littlewood

David Littlewood started his career in Aberdeen in 2001 and has since won Grampian Chef of the Year. He focuses on flavour and careful execution, cooking with high quality local ingredients. The restaurant also holds a Michelin Recommended listing for 2026.

Seasonal menus and the kitchen team

Alexandria Hay has worked in the kitchen since 2014 and was the first female winner of the Pastry Chef of the Year competition. She buys fresh, seasonal produce from local suppliers, so the menu often changes every few days, sometimes daily. Printed menus include a Sunday lunch, a dinner menu and a tasting menu.
