Mill Of Mundurno Table Table — Restaurant in Aberdeen City

Was there for family Sunday lunch (16/4/23), not what I had been looking forward to. Had hoped for a choice of seasonal roasts ie roast beef, chicken, lamb and possibly gammon. However only 2 choices both more seasonal to Christmas - turkey or gammon. No opportunity to add one to the other either. Liking neither that much I chose the steak and ale pie. It was described as a pastry pie ( I had hoped for puff), with chunks of steak. When it arrived it didn't look completely cooked as pastry very pale. This proved to be crucial as very soggy and inedible, the " chunks" were miniscule and 1 was pure fat. The gravy was thick and only on offer was mash, no chips or yorkshire puddings. All the roast dinners came with large Yorkshire puds. One of my eating companions had the garlic mushrooms and had a similar aesthetic issue- no garnish or choice of side salad. Another companion commented she thought the veg had been frozen and not properly defrosted. The staff attending spoke with a strong fast Glaswegian accent making it hard to hear or understand. Naturally with all this going on there was NO TIP. The only plus points were the inside venue= 2 lift accesses, smooth floors and ease of access to tables for wheelchairs. Outside the cracked paving stones made it a challenge to wheel myself inside. All in all a thoroughly disappointing affair. I had heard good reports but I will DEFINITELY ...

Staff member spoiled the atmosphere with constant clock watching and trying to hurry people. Arrived at 10am Sunday morning for breakfast and was being served by a staff member when another came flouncing in, totally disregarded him, spoke over him and started to tell me I should pay and I only had 30 minutes until the end of service. (In the style of me being 4 years old and her being my mother may I add) I agreed this was sufficient time and was again told only 30 minutes to end of service. On going to collect my breakfast from the hot buffet there were at least 6/8 people standing waiting for food to arrive as nearly everything was finished, after around 20 minutes and a very slow & laborious taking one dish out to the hot buffet at a time did we get a full plate of breakfast. Snappy staff member from before however was hovering, clock watching and generally made everyone feel a little uncomfortable. At the stroke of 11am (which was not the ‘30’ mins I was told I had to eat in, she took great pleasure removing the toasters leaving a man (who had went to get coffee) with no toast to come back to. I have been here many times and is always a relaxed atmosphere, today however very rushed, no organisation and I would say down to the interference and ‘watching’ your every move from the super snappy staff member. I would return but if she’s on I would leave and go elsewhere...

My fourth and undoubtedly final visit to TABLE TABLE MILL OF MUNDURNO in Aberdeen this Christmas was a profound disappointment. Each visit has been less impressive than the last, and this experience was particularly disheartening.

The food was deeply unsatisfactory. The starters resembled something akin to children’s cooking: basic, unimaginative, and lacking in any culinary creativity. The main course continued this trend, being overcooked, flavorless, and quite frankly, awful. It’s disconcerting to witness such disregard for quality, especially during a festive season.

Even the desserts, which one usually looks forward to, were a letdown. Far from the sweet, indulgent experience one expects, they were bland and lacked the basic essence of what makes a dessert enjoyable.

Adding to the culinary disappointment was the subpar service. The staff, especially the Manager, seemed uninterested in their roles, showing a dismaying lack of enthusiasm and concern for customer satisfaction. This apathy was evident in every aspect of the service we received.

Given this experience, I regretfully advise others to avoid this establishment. Aberdeen boasts many other dining venues where the quality of both food and service far exceeds what is offered at TABLE TABLE MILL...
