"Very disappointed after our most recent visit to the Murly Tuck. We went mid morning on a Sunday and inside was very chilly with no heating on well certainly the radiator we were next to was off! So sat with jackets on. Ordered our food which was fine but then plates were taken away from myself and husband whilst our daughter was still eating! The place was empty so not like screaming out for tables! Think too much staff for that time of day with nothing to do. My husband went to pay whilst my daughter and I remained at the table and our cups/juice were then removed again before finished! Find this totally unnecessary when the place was empty. Got no thank you or bye from anyone so will certainly think twice before returning."

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the changes to the murly tuck. The service was great, food was good and all in all a lovely experience. I’ll be back next time I’m in Tarves.

What a wonderful place, great food, friendly staff and lovely location. Scones are always very good, cakes, always a difficult decision, which fine piece to have. Very reasonably priced and portions are very generous.

Great stop before a visit to Haddo House. We had the Muckle and a Puckle breakfast and food was very good and great value. Service was great and well done to the waitress who was only on her second day. Highly recommended. Voir le carte

Food terrible dehydrated or greasy, a replacement item took so long to arrive my friend had finished her food. No attempt by staff to make things right and just charged the usual price, I would have refused to pay but did not want the stress… we will not be back!!

Early lunch, the large bowls of sweet potato and red pepper soup with seeded bread was delicious. Too full to eat any home bakes after that, so took some home. Lots to choose from. Definitely worth a visit, and many repeat visits. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly thank you

A superb country town cafe, hugely supported by locals, cyclists, and visitors. Excellent food, breakfast, my regular downfall, being the best in the area. Cakes cabinet filled with treats and they do afternoon teas with caked, just book. Service is always welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much. Book if required, as they may be busy, as they have limited tables. Voir le carte

We were in Tarves yesterday and were advised that The Murly Tuck was a good place for a snack. We received a friendly greeting before being shown to our table and our order was taken quickly. 2 decent coffees and 2 delicious tray bakes were soon served up and not one but 2 different staff members checked all was OK while we were enjoying our wee treat. Friendly, mannerly staff and delicious tray bakes we'll be back and may come for lunch next time as their menu looks enticing.

Went with a friend, first time for both of us. Arrived and waited to be seated , 3 empty tables one large , one for two and a strange little table by the kitchen . We were offered the tiny to me by the kitchen but declined as we were there for catch up and explained this didn’t want to sit in a throughfare with our elbows tucked in. Then shown to the bigger table, got settled in, and then asked to move as the table was ‘reserved’. No one use it the entire time we were there. We had tea, I had a cheese scone which was very good friend didn’t fancy any of the food. It’s basic cafe stuff for the most part. We enjoyed our tea, but being moved and fibbed to about the table we had didn’t sit well

"Sunday, 3rd September 2023 – 19:00 Meal: Wine Starters – Main – Coffee My friend and I arrived at 19:00 to a busy but not overfull restaurant without a reservation and they accommodated us upstairs. Menus were produced and we ordered a bottle of white wine and a jug of water. 0rders placed for starters and 2 servings of the Italian style fish stew on the ‘Specials Board’ at 26.99 each. Tomato and chilli with promises of loads of different fish. The toss up was between a steak or the stew (which neither of us would cook at home). The table was dirty and needed wiping – this request was placed 3x on the young waitron who eventually produced a cloth slopping water from a bucket in the corner cupped in her hands where she half heartedly wiped the table with water dripping onto my friend’s lap. Hurried mop up with tissues out of my bag. The white wine was plonked on the table – next to the cooler – unopened and no glasses. Several attempts were made to attract the waitron’s attention. Eventually another bottle was produced opened and we were advised the waitron was under age and not allowed to pour wine. Perfectly acceptable had she produced an opener and the glasses with an explanation I would have been happy to help myself – we understand and appreciate these things. The starters arrived and were delicious! The chef then came out to see us and explained that there was no lobster for the stew – we asked for extra monkfish, he then said there was no monkfish left – but could help us with other white fish and crab claws. He said he was down to the last 2 portions, and he would ensure they were hearty. We were a bit concerned and suggested perhaps we settle for the steak which is always delicious. He assured us we had made the right choice and would enjoy the stew. The stews arrived and were ‘hearty’ if being crammed with the contents of a tin of crab claws is your definition of hearty. The promised ‘rich tomato broth with chilli and garlic’ was a watered down version of what was clearly less than a cup of the original broth left at the bottom of the pot topped with water. It was tasteless – lacking in hint of either chilli, wine, garlic or herbs – having lived in Malta I can assure you I have a deep understanding of Med cooking. I guess we were lucky we didn’t have the salty brine of the crab claws as the broth. It was inedible and we were starving so we kept adding salt and pepper – we were beyond the point of returning the food which was a mistake in hindsight. We skipped dessert – had coffees and left. The meal came to nearly £100.00. This was an expensive lousy experience. We paid a generous tip – because they accommodated us without a reservation. Take aways from the experience: • The restaurant service on a Sunday evening at 19:00 should be as good as it is on a Friday at 19:00 • Being a local and having eaten there several times – it is my first choice for a ‘good’ meal – don’t abuse the luxury of local support. • Train your waitrons to clean tables, by wringing out the cloth and not dripping water on your patrons. • Waitrons (even under aged ones) should at least carry a wine opener, and understand that wine glasses should be produced when delivering wine. • Your chef should know better and never, ever assume he can cut costs by selling the dregs from his kitchen. • A poor dining experience costs you more than you think. We would have ordered dessert, and more importantly returned for a second meal in the next week – WE DIDN’T! I have a friend coming from Ireland in November – do I risk taking her to the Anchor?"
