It's a decent enough pub. Some of the seating is designed to look good but is not practical. Most seating is fine, though. Food is good pub grub. Pensioner portions are great. Right amount to encourage a pudding. Chef made toffee sauce just for my friend.

I eat out often and rarely do I write reviews. I think it's because it either has to be catastrophic or stand-out for me to feel it warrants the time and energy. I was in Stonehaven for one night during a work trip. The weather was pretty baltic and didn't quite inspire a walk for 10 minutes along the seafront in bracing wind and treacherous, icy conditions. So, I looked for something near to my bed and breakfast and came across Number 44 Hotel and Bar. I must admit I wasn't sure what to expect further to the mixed reviews. The greeting I got however was welcoming and friendly. Granted the interior could use a bit of updating - but what place can't - particularly after Covid and so many businesses simply trying to stay open, nevermind worrying about new soft furnishings and wallpaper. I ordered the cullen skink soup and chimicurri hanger steak with rocket & vine tomates served with fries. The soup came with a piece of toasted sourdough and it was hot, flavoursome and creamy - everything it should be. It was the steak that I had to write about. I have had steak rececntly in Edinburgh twice at purported steak houses - one being Chophouse and the other being the Hawksmoor. This steak topped them both. It was charred brilliantly on the outside perfectly medium rare on the inside with a lovely chimiccuri topping with the exact right balance of flavours of garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar etc. I also had the added bonus of some lovely mushrooms which worked well with it. The steak wasn't fatty and the charred outside was delicious. Getting a medium rare steak right is not an easy feat for many and the chef nailed it! Yes, I would have preferred hassleback potates or hand cut chips with it, but with a steak that good I wasn't bothered about the fries. Plus, that's a preference. The fries were crisp and hot and for fries lovers would have been spot on as well. I don't know if this was a one off, but I can say I really enjoyed that meal and hats off to you! The service was also attentive and polite. All I can say is I wish I had space for dessert. :) If I ever come back to Stonehaven I will be popping in again.

Food was good - made a poor choice for my main - nothing wrong with food except excessive amount of veg with heavy sauce (chilli beef salad) however rest of meal was lovely - scallops & goats cheese/beetroot as starters, other main was chicken with pepper sauce & dessert was mixed berries & sticky toffee - yum yum x service was very attentive.

The room needs a bit of a refresh and two bedside tables but it was clean. Other than that it was great with the views over the bay. The food was good and we will be back soon.Nearby activities: The castle is a walk of about 1 1/2 miles (a bit steep for me on the day) we caught the bus (hourly), and then it's about 1/2 a mile. Only problem is if you suffer from vertigo. However the views are great and worth it.

Nice little place, one of the few that serves food in the early afternoon, around 5 p.m. perfect for a break.Good beer, good wine, clean although not wonderfully clean it was okay. Very greasy, but tasty, fried food. Really very kind and friendly staff, bathrooms ok. Suggestive, retro decor, matches well with the rest of the very quiet and out of the way city. Not crowded, good prices but not too low considering it's in a small town.I would go back here. I can define it as recommendedWalkability: Very convenient parking immediately in frontFood & drinks: Good food and good food

Great place for pub grub and a drink. Reduced portions are superb value.

This is the 3rd time we've been here for something to eat before Stonehaven Panto. I am both mentally & physically disabled. My sensory issues are huge. So when I rang to book it, I made sure thats it was upstairs, and not in the bar. The guy who took booking, said definitely upstairs. Brilliant we thought. Not quite!!! We got there to an incredibly noisy pub only to find that we weren't booked upstairs. It was a private booking upstairs. So by the point as wasn't a happy bunny. Then the brought out the menu. It was upstairs menu but eating in a noisy pub. Complete with same prices. I'm not good at changes, I really was unsure what to do, but I thought let's just stay here That was a huge mistake. I ordered the chicken breast on the bone and hubby had the pie. After about 20 minutes our food arrived. And there was my sparrow! Not a chicken breast on the bone! From my knowledge of chicken breasts, the bone was probably from the wing. We've all had chicken breasts on bones. That was not the breast bone! The plate was starved of food. Hubby got the pie. A decent amount of food. But the bottom of the pie was raw pastry! Shocking! A soggy bottom is not appreciated in 2023. Over £37 Inc pint of soft and a hot chocolate!

I have been here on a few occasions and never been disappointed until my self and several members of my family came for a special birthday. The food was cold the service was terrible. We had to wait for about 20 minutes for drinks and had to ask several times for food that was missing .

Over priced for standard of room. Small room with small double bed. In room we stayed in bathroom was dated and wallpaper held down in corners with nails. Also no soap or hand-wash which was surprising.Bar/restaurant was busy due to a football match being on but what irked myself was we where seated in a small booth and we had groups standing around us while eating and they would place their glasses on our table.Food was good, staff great but pricing on rooms is steep for what's on offer in the rooms and overall condition.
