Summary of Beer Scores
Website .
The pub is found in Westhill , Aberdeenshire , AB32 6HF .
Near the Arnhall Business Park and adjacent to a Premier Inn, The Shepherds Rest was opened in 2001 but skilfully aged to look 200 years older. Although it's a big place it has been carefully divided to provide plenty of cosy areas. Food led, beer choice now only a shadow of what it once was. Now owned by Greene King (Belhaven).
We have visited this pub 39 times, seen 56 different beers and tried 35 of them.
