🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 One last Games for 2026! ☕️

We’re finishing off this year’s Highland Games season right here at home in Braemar!

You’ll find the Roaring Stag coffee trailer in the car park as you enter the village, serving up the usual freshly made coffees to keep you going for the big day.

It’s been another cracking Games season, and there’s no better place to finish it than our hometown. 🦌☕️

The Games might be coming to an end, but don’t worry — there are still plenty more events to come this year!

See you at Braemar Gathering and Highland Games Centre

What a weekend! ☕🦌

A huge thank you to everyone who came along over the weekend.

We started Aboyne Highland Games on Saturday before heading to Turriff Show for two fantastic days serving coffee, Sunday and Monday.

It was great catching up with so many familiar faces and meeting plenty of new ones too.

Today was straight back into the roastery, getting fresh coffee roasted and packed. It's also brilliant to see some of the people who enjoyed a cup over the weekend already placing online orders for coffee to enjoy at home.

As always, thank you for the support and kind comments 🫡

We're all set up Ballater Farmers Market! ☕

If you're in the village today, come and say hello!

We've got all your favourite freshly made espresso-based coffees, including refreshing iced coffees—perfect whatever the weather decides to do!

Alongside the coffee trailer, I've also brought:

🫘 A small selection of freshly roasted coffee
☕ Reusable coffee cups
🍫 Roaring Stag Espresso Chocolate

Whether you're after your morning caffeine fix or want to take some coffee home, we'd love to see you.

See you at Ballater Farmers' Market!

It's been a busy few weeks that I've barely had a chance to post an update! ☕️😅

June has been packed with some fantastic events, as well as keeping the roastery running smoothly, and I'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has stopped by for a coffee, supported us, and had a chat along the way. It really is great to hear such good feedback.

So far this month we've had the pleasure of serving at:

🏃 Braemar Junior Highland Games
🦆 Ballater Duck Festival
🌷 North Scotland Garden Show
🚗 Kildrummy Vintage Rally - Kvvvc
🍔 Best of Grampian Grampian Transport Museum

We're not slowing down quite yet! We'll be at the Ballater Farmers Market this weekend with plenty of coffee in stock.

Due to limited space, if there's any coffee bags in particular you'd like me to bring along, just drop a comment or send me a message and I'll make sure it's there for you.

Looking forward to seeing you all and thanks again for all the support ☕️

☕ Roaring Stag Brewing Guide ☕

We've put together this brewing guide to help you get the very best from your coffee, whatever your preferred brewing method.

Remember, these recipes are intended as a starting point, not a strict set of rules. Coffee is personal, and some of the best cups come from experimenting with different brew ratios, grind sizes, water temperatures and brew times until you find what tastes best to you.

Whether you enjoy a rich espresso, a smooth cafetière, or a bright pour-over, don't be afraid to tweak things and make each brew your own.

After all, great coffee is all about finding your perfect brew.

Have a look through the guide and let us know:
👇 What's your favourite brewing method?

Did somebody say free coffee 🤔

Today (Friday 15th May) we are offering a free filter coffee with every purchase made at the roastery. We are open 1000 - 1300 today ☕️

Today's coffee has been carefully selected by our roaster to showcase some of the brilliant coffee we do 💯 💪
