The Ploughman’s pub and restaurant in the North-east has received recognition in the Scottish Parliament after Liam Kerr, a Scottish Conservative and Unionist Member of the Scottish Parliament for the North East Scotland Region, submitted a parliamentary motion to highlight The Ploughman’s success as a recipient of a TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Award 2023.
The MSP’s motion, which was supported by 29 other MSP’s, said, “That the Parliament congratulates the Ploughman Restaurant and Sports Bar in Peterculter, Aberdeen on winning a TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Award 2023; understands that the honour represents The Ploughman being named one of the 10% of restaurants worldwide; further understands that TripAdvisor recognises customer’s favourite restaurants around the world based on ratings and reviews; believes that customer reviews and ratings for The Ploughman helped secure the win, and wishes all The Ploughman’s staff continued success and repeat business in the future.”
Alistair Dornan, who co-owns The Ploughman alongside his friend and business partner, Simon Cruickshank, said, “We are thrilled to be recognised at Scottish Parliament and we extend our gratitude to Liam Kerr and the other MSPs for acknowledging our TripAdvisor award success. This is a first for us and it truly validates the hard work and dedication of our team at The Ploughman.”
