The Dunavon

Coined in 1991, the term "gastropub" combines the words "gastronomy" and "pub" to emphasize the quality food aspect of these unique types of dining and drinking establishments.

Simply put, a gastropub focuses on not only good beer but quality food centred around local, seasonal ingredients.

One of which is The Dunavon, a restaurant and gastropub situated in Dyce, just 6 miles from Aberdeen city centre. You can expect a relaxed dining experience with varied menus using Scottish produce sourced from the finest local suppliers. In addition to a vast range of handcrafted beers and ciders, a selection of whiskies and gins, as well as an extensive wine list to complement your food.
