The story
Pineapple Grill & Seafood Restaurant opens within the grounds of Meldrum House in Inverurie, bringing a fresh approach to Scottish cuisine. The menu draws directly from the land and coastlines of Aberdeenshire, shaped by what the seasons provide right now. Dishes are designed to be shared, moving away from formal plating toward a relaxed style where plates pass between tables and bottles get poured without ceremony.
The kitchen focuses on bold seasonal flavours and unexpected twists, pairing familiar comfort food with modern Scottish cooking. Guests can expect generous portions that celebrate the people who grow, rear, and land the produce across the region. Every plate reflects a commitment to local sourcing, turning simple regional ingredients into expressive meals meant for lingering conversations.
Dining takes place in a space that blends historic character with contemporary ease, defining a new standard for Aberdeenshire dining while feeling entirely current. The room encourages conversation, with an atmosphere crafted for those who want to stay at the table longer. Natural light fills the dining area during the day, shifting to warmer tones in the evening as service continues into dinner.
The beverage programme complements the food with a carefully curated list of wines and spirits, alongside creative cocktails served in adjacent glass domes overlooking the estate. Evenings extend into the Cave Bar and outdoor spaces, where guests can transition from a full meal to a quiet dram. The restaurant maintains a steady rhythm from lunch through Sunday roasts, keeping the focus on consistent quality and warm hospitality.
