From family-run bistros in Ballater to neighbourhood wine bars in Aberdeen’s West End, independent hospitality is the beating heart of the North East’s food and drink scene. These are the venues that take risks, shape local taste, and create the kind of experiences that keep customers coming back, not just for the food or wine, but for the people behind it.
At United Supplies Wine, we’re proud to work with independent restaurants, pubs, and retailers across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Our role isn’t just to supply wine, it’s to support the people who pour it, pair it, and build their businesses around it.
Why Independent Hospitality Matters
Independent venues bring character and creativity to the region. They’re often the first to champion new producers, experiment with menus, and create space for local talent. But they also face unique challenges: from rising costs and staffing pressures to the need for agile supply and strong margins.
That’s where we come in.
How We Support the Trade
We work closely with our customers to offer more than just a product list:
- Tailored wine selections that suit your menu, price point, and service style
- Quick and flexible delivery across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, with trade-only access
- Support with training and tasting notes, so your team can sell with confidence
- No supermarket overlap, ensuring your list stays exclusive and commercially viable
Whether you’re launching a new concept or refreshing your list for the season, we’re here to help you build something that works, on the floor and on the books.
A Shared Commitment to Local
We believe in building long-term partnerships with the people shaping the North East’s hospitality scene. That means showing up, staying flexible, and keeping things personal. Because when independent venues thrive, the whole region benefits, from producers and suppliers to customers and communities.
If you’re an independent venue in Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire, we’d love to connect.
