For 200 years, the tree lined Market Square has been the centre of the town, where formerly local farmers and producers came to sell their products and now a monthly Farmers’ Market brings a wide range of fresh foods to Stonehaven.

Within close walking distance of the Square a range of traditional food shops compete and vie for attention including butchers, bakers, delicatessens and confectioners. All can compete with the best in our cities, and are mainly local independent businesses.

The picturesque Harbour and Beach Promenade attract many visitors who can also appreciate the fine food in a wide range of quality cafes, tea   rooms, bars, hotels and restaurants offering everything from a sandwich, award  winning fish and chips and real ales to top quality cuisine.

Over 50 businesses in Stonehaven sell and make fine food and drink. Stonehaven folk are proud of their town and what it has to offer. 

Rather than travelling to out-of-town supermarkets, Stonehaven can provide all your food shopping and all of the very best quality.
