Welcome to Porterhouse This North East of Scotland is home to some of the best farmland, and produces livestock famed for its quality and flavour. We are proud of our farming heritage and our meat s quality is endorsed by the Scottish Beef Club and Quality Meat Scotland. To allow everyone to experience this flavour and quality, we opened our restaurant, tucked away here at Thainstone and named it Porterhouse after the cut of steak famous the world over for its flavour and special qualities. Cooking and serving the best meat is our passion, whatever your preferred cut may be. Choose a juicy fillet, a succulent sirloin, a rib eye or perhaps a Chateaubriand to share between two. We can trace every forkful of prime beef back to the field and maybe even introduce you to a farmer or two. Of course, after all the care and attention put into rearing the best, be assured that our chefs treat our locallysourced 21 28 day aged Scotch Beef with the respect it deserves and will cook it just the way you like it. For diners who don t want to choose a steak, or have some special dietary issues or preferences, we have a wonderful larder stocked with fresh produce and locally-sourced seasonal alternatives. Take a look through our menu and our Porterhouse team will be only too happy to advise you. Enjoy and bon appétit.
