Thainstone House welcomes new Head Chef

Thainstone House, the 18th century country house hotel located in the heart of Inverurie, has welcomed a new Head Chef as well as an exciting brand-new menu.

Part of the Crerar Hotels Collection, the hotel welcomes Sayan Bandyopadhyay as the Head Chef, who joins the team with over 20 years’ experience. Prior to the role at Thainstone House Hotel, Sayan opened and operated two new hotels in Aberdeen, The Hilton Aberdeen TECA and The Aloft Aberdeen TECA in 2019. He has previously worked at other hotels including Doubletree by Hilton, Crown Plaza and The Balmoral Hotel.

Thainstone House Hotel is is home to the AA Rosette The Green Lady restaurant, and the relaxed Stockman’s Bar, which has recently reopened with a refreshed menu.

Set against warm and welcoming interiors with a log fire, guests in Stockman’s can enjoy highlights from the new menu such as classic Scottish favourite haggis, neeps and tatties or a delicious whisky and oak smoked salmon.

Natalie Malcolm, General Manger said, “I thrilled that Sayan has started at Thainstone House. Relaunching Stockman’s with a new relaxed menu has received great feedback so far and we are positive that the new menu will go down well with both hotel guests and locals. We also have a calendar of events at the hotel throughout December, so I am looking forward to welcoming more people to re-experience Thainstone House.”

Thainstone House Hotel is set to host several festive experiences within The Green Lady restaurant and Stockman’s Bar, including a Festive Afternoon Tea, Breakfast with Santa, as well as Christmas party nights and a Hogmanay Gala Ball.
