After looking at the prices of the main courses in the Fiddlers in Drum, is there a chip shop?

...Which is why I go to the Coffee Shop...
It's a village that survives on tourists, so plenty to choose from.
And there's always google. If a search doesn't help, 'walk' up the road on google maps and have a look.

The chippy in Drum used to be a little out of town next to the grocers and general store, on the way in if you come down from the forest. A look on the Drum web page may find if it is still open.
For an evening meal in Ballater the Alexandra Hotel is hard to beat.

Ballater golf club does fantastic scoff at a very good price, i think its only open to 2000 though (from 0800). The indian is very decent to, the Balmoral does proper wholesome bar food, the Alex is a bit dear for what you get imo.

Best Ballater night out - from the chipper, mock chop supper with a mealie pudding on the side and two pickled eggs while sitting in the square, then into the barrel for half a dozen pints of guiness. (Mind and leave the bivi doors open though)

Thanks for suggestions.

Anyone tried either of the Indian restaurants in Ballater - India on the Green or the Lochnagar Brasserie? (The latter claims to be "one of the best Indian restaurants in Ballater" so must be good!)
