“Great atmosphere, great food, fast/friendly service.”

I booked a table for seven on the evening of the 7th june as part of my dad's 80th birthday. We all enjoyed our food, everyone agreed that their meals were all delicious and particularly liked the gesture of the happy Birthday pudding for my dad. The staff were all very attentive and helpful, the service was very good.

We popped in to the restaurant without a reservation after a family day out at Stirling Castle. The staff were so helpful making space for us all. The food was good quality and reasonably priced. A lovely traditional pub vibe. I can see why it has such great reviews.

Dropped in on a wet Saturday night in January after a long cold motorbike ride from Edinburgh. The staff found us space at a reserved table, as long as we could give it back to them in an hour, which was lovely of them. We sat near the wonderfully warm coal fire and ate cauliflower and broccoli cheese bakes, which were a proper hearty portion, delicious, and exactly what we needed to warm our cockles back up. Definitely recommend, and we will be back in the summer to visit the castle!

This is one of our favourite restaurants. Food and service is always consistently high standard. Highly recommend booking, as it can get fully booked at times, especially during tourist season given its location right next to the castle. Brilliant steaks 😍
