Portlethen's Place To Eat

Portlethen's Place To Eat is a family-run British fast-food kiosk run by husband-and-wife team Darren and Patricia Robertson, who started the business in 2014. This longstanding food van draws on locally sourced produce and Aberdeen Angus steak patties supplied daily by Macintosh Donald, hand-shaped into burgers cooked fresh to order. Diners rate it 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Google reviews, while TripAdvisor awards it Travellers' Choice status at 4.9 from 37 reviews, ranking third among local restaurants. The Press and Journal taste-test team praised its hearty, home-cooked grub, and Aberdeenshire council gave it a Pass under the Food Hygiene Information Scheme at inspection in November 2024.

Regulars queue for the bacon roll, the van's bestselling breakfast staple, alongside homemade bacon cheeseburgers and Macaroni Wednesday specials of gooey macaroni and cheese blended with mild cheddar, mature cheddar and red Leicester—the Press and Journal's top-scoring dish. The menu also covers fish and chips, kebabs, chicken burgers, chilli cheese hot dogs, English breakfasts and crisp chips with gravy or curry sauce, with sweet treats and cakes alongside. Vegetarian-friendly options are available. Order for collection or delivery through Just Eat, with the kiosk typically open Tuesday to Saturday from 9:00 until 15:00.
