MENU
Food and Drink
Raemoir comes fully catered with its own Master Chef and kitchen team, poised to create personalised menus with you in mind. We can create a five course fine dining menu with paired wines, a luxury picnic hamper perfect for a day out or everything you need for a simple firepit barbecue – just let us know what you fancy.
We have a growing reputation as a foodie region in Aberdeenshire with everything from beef and venison to seafood and cheese, gin and whisky to berries and honey. We can bring the experts to you or if you fancy a day out we’ve got some great ideas.
