Balgedie Toll Tavern in Perth & Kinross

Excellent food reasonably priced and good service. Visited twice now once with family I haven’t seen for years and latest just myself and wife. Shame we live so far away or we would be regulars. Well done

We spent 5 days visiting family on this occasion and were delighted to enjoy two dinners during our stay at the Balgedie toll tavern. Really friendly, wonderful ambience and delicious food and plenty of it. Its quite easy to zoom past this gem but don't, you are missing a treat. Worth moving back to Scotland for. Looking forward to our next visit.

Our daughter had discovered this beautiful pub on a previous visit,and insisted we have dinner there. How right she was! The bar and restaurant were warm,comfortable, and welcoming,and the kind owner took time to chat to us,and make us feel at home.I am so glad I took his advice in choosing the Chicken Cock a Leekie; it was absolutely delicious,as was our daughter’s Haddock Smokie. Unsurprisingly,the restaurant was full, but the service was impeccable. This is how a pub should be.

Excellent service , nice warm welcome from owner and staff , we really enjoyed the whole dining experience. Looking forward to our next visit.

What can I say? Amazing food, amazing service and amazing people. The owner chatted with us for ages as we shared our adventures of Scotland. The food was delicious and the service was spot on. Could not fault this place. Would recommend to anyone travelling near this area.

What a burger I had the burger with koffman fries and a Caesar salad (side) . Quality food well done. Washed down with a few local beers.

Came here for lunch whilst visiting the Lavender Oils and what a great find. Hubby’s burger was very tasty whilst my steak pie was so tender. This is an oldie pub and full of characters. Great find

Well what an absolutely lovely meal and welcoming atmosphere when we were in for lunch today. Their staff have this just right and indeed the chef has put together an amazing and varied menu along with superb choices on the specials menu today. It's probably been around 15 years since we've been here...no idea why but will be back very very soon!! Only had dessert photos unfortunately as we ticked in to the others too quickly!

On voulait se faire un haggis avant de reprendre l’avion, et franchement rien a redire, excellente cuisine , accueil très convivial, endroit très typique petite auberge avec feu de cheminée !vous en avez pour votre argent ! Ça vaut le détour !

Delicious, great quality food! We’ve been to Balgedie Toll Tavern several times now and have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the owner is always keen to discuss the history of the Tavern (which is really interesting!) We’re already looking forward to our next visit :D

Great find, excellent little country pub with large menu and a few specials, very friendly staff, plenty parking space

Called into the Balgedie Toll for lunch today but hadn’t booked as it was a last minute day off work. We were greeted with a warm welcome and seated promptly. Enjoyed a local ale and really delicious freshly cooked lunch. I had a small portion steak pie which was still more than I could manage but did my best to try as it was so good. My partner had the fish and chips which he thoroughly enjoyed along with the homemade condiments. Sadly neither of us had capacity for a desert! Will most definitely return (hopefully the open fire will be back in service by then). I don’t often leave reviews but this tavern deserves a mention.

Met up with family for dinner and a catch-up, I used to live nearby and had been a regular user in 70’s then occasionally after that with last visit 30 years ago. The interior hasn’t changed structurally but has been kept freshly decorated and welcoming maintains the quaint feel. The menu was a good balance of choice with good old favourites like steak pie, smoked haddock in cheese sauce, etc all items were good prices for post covid. The service was friendly and professional. The four of us all enjoyed our meals, it was a welcome change to the meals we have been served post covid in the Highlands. Everything was cooked perfect and full of flavour, the deserts that followed looked and tasted superb. It will be a definite stop next time I’m passing the junction on M90 going either North or South.

Booked a table today Sunday 22nd January as a family and it did not disappoint !! Three kids and their cheese burgers n chips and sausage and chips were really great value and tasted so good All main meals for adults were delicious gammon steak with all trimmings , steak pie and specials choice could not be faulted

Delighted to have a delicious meal at this traditional, cosy coaching inn. Our large party of 9 enjoyed a fab meal, between us trying most of the main course and pudding menu. Everything was delicious, staff were great accommodating allergies and preferences with ease. Lovely friendly atmosphere in a spotlessly clean venue (including bathrooms). Looking forward to our next visit!

Absolutely great meal with family. Everyone had something different across the menu. Everything was tasty, good portions and service was everything you would expect. Traditional pub/inn style which is becoming rarer and lovely to still see. My meal (smokie) was delicious and hopefully be back soon!

Been several times before and it had been very pleasant. This occasion it seems to have dropped their standards; cleanliness wasn’t great in particular the toilets. Food; spring roll was over cooked, batter on the fish (fish and chips) was thick and not fully , also a load of salt on the top of the fish. Staff member came over as flustered as she had forgotten our drinks order. Not sure if I will be back.

We have been to The Toll several times recently and it has been consistently good. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient, and the food beautifully prepared and delicious. Pay a visit, you won t be disappointed. 😁

We visited for lunch on Christmas Eve and were not disappointed. The food is consistently excellent, the service is attentive and we were seated at a lovely table by the fire. We have had a number of meals here now and would highly recommend.

Christmas Day excellence, absolutely perfect food and service as always. Just incredible well thought out flavours and delicious meals. Well worth the money!

Interesting country pub not far from Loch Leven. Decent pub food with comfy lounge area and seating outside. Staff were friendly and the service was good.

Popped in for lunch. Didn't have a booking but luckily got a table. Would advise to book as it's a large place and was pretty full on a wet Tuesday in November. Staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. The menu offered a good selection. The food was very good all prepared and cooked well and a good plateful. The steak pie gets a special mention, beef tender and a good pastry . Star of the show though was the Apple and cinnamon crumble with custard and ice cream. My tip is; leave roof for dessert.

1s Wedding Anniversary meal with my husband today, we went in at 2pm my husband had the cock a leekie and I had balgeddie smokey, the food is without a doubt excellent on every visit. The chef is creative and innovative without being pretentious… delicious and wonderful every time, cannot recommend enough. Really well done to Neil and his team. Just fantastic.

We have visited a number of times, we enjoy the ambience and intimacy of the place. This visit was for lunch as a wee treat, we each had 3 courses and we all commented on how good the food was, it was lovely the best I have had for a while. That coupled with the service was worth the visit. Thank you, a satisfied and full customer :-)

We were staying for nearby for a few days, and fancied a meal out. This was the most convenient place for us, so we booked what we assumed would be just a normal pub meal. How wrong we were! It was so much more: the service and the food were exceptional, the dishes offering tasty and imaginative combinations of predominantly local and very fresh produce. We were really impressed that portions of the mains were available in two sizes, too: not everyone has the same sized appetites. It was our penultimate night in the area, but even before we’d finished our main courses we’d decided unanimously to try and book again for the following night, if we could. Luckily, we were able to get a place! Although it’s in a very rural setting, the tavern is only a short detour from the northbound M90 motorway between the outskirts of Edinburgh to Perth: southbound you’d need to do a loop back between the Kinross exit and the northbound exit for the A91 to reach it, though in these days of satnavs and smartphone apps, it’s easy. At the time of writing, it’s closed on Wednesdays, but open for lunches and evening meals on the other days. Weekends in particular can be busy, so it’s worth booking ahead. Highly recommended if you’re in the area, or even just passing through!

Amazing as always staff helpful and very pleasant food truely amazing. Make sure you have room for a starter when you visit!!!! Satisfaction guaranteed. If you've not been.... GO!!

Super moment, le cadre avec le bar et les habitués à proximité n’est pas gênant, bien au contraire. La jeune serveuse et le patron blagueur rajoute du charme à la soirée. Les conseils sur les plats typiques sont les bienvenus. Vivement conseillé, mérite VRAIMENT le détour. Ne changez rien.

Great characterful pub. Fantastic food. Family friendly. Looking forward to returning to support this gem.

Brilliant food and service in a lovely old inn. Ate here two nights in a row as it was so good. Well worth travelling to get to.

Came here for lunch with some friends. Service from the start was great and I liked that they brought over a specials board to start. My prawn and scampi salad was so good and we didn't feel rushed at all despite it being busy.

We visited this pub twice for dinner during our week stay at Loch Leven. The food was excellent, as was the service, attention to detail and friendliness of the staff.. We will definitely visit again when we are next in the area.

We stayed in the area for 5 days and visited the Balgedie Toll Tavern 3 times. Neil and his staff went above and beyond to make us visitors feel welcomed. The chef is a marvel! My husband swears his Steak pie was the best he’s eaten in all his 70 years! We sampled several dishes and all of them were excellent. We loved the atmosphere and enjoyed our conversations with the owner and staff. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the neighborhood.

Party of nine all our meals were superb service was excellent nothing to much trouble. Had only visited pub once before and had lunch booked for family get together and was not disappointed. Would highly recommend and will certainly return.

Lunch for two with my husband, Donald had the fish and chips which was excellent as always, if we could buy the pesto peas in bulk we would! I had the special today which was land and mint meatballs in a tomato sauce with feta crumble, linguine and crispy tortilla. Outstanding. I managed one meetball and bought the rest home for dinner, we always get the onion rings, they’re something else. Angie and the team where fantastic as always, how this restaurant doesn’t have a Michelin star I don’t know, the food is immaculate.

Friendly reception and service. Great food. I would highly recommend for lunch (and presumably dinner). Good value for money as well.

Visited today for the first time. Staff friendly and nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Food was lovely. Special mention for the smokie which was also lovely and cheesy. All presented nicely and service very efficient. We will be back. Nice wee find.

Absolutely wonderful ✅ service was brilliant and the food was excellent. Their Smokie was / is to die for 10/10. Very good menu, not too much nor too little in terms of choice. Cannot recommend enough. Looking forward to returning when next with family in...

As usual; excellent dinner, friendly service and good beer. We were 5 of us and everybody enjoyed what they had.

Angie was fantastic with accommodating our family group plus 2 dogs. The food was absolutely amazing (I’d recommend the Sweet potato tacos & Steak pie) but all the food was great. Warm welcome and friendly staff. We will be returning.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the excellent choice of gluten free food. I had the fish and chips and it was brilliant with light and fluffy batter I also had a banoffee dessert which was divine.

Three of us met for lunch and were made to feel so welcome straight away. Even though there were screens to keep us safe they were placed so well that it didn't take anything away from the relaxing friendly atmosphere. Two delicious fish and chips...

We detoured off the M90 for lunch and were very impressed with the service and food. Can't wait to return, next time we're in the area.

A comfortable traditional-style pub with a real fire. Friendly and quick service, good menu including the option of small portions (I love this!) Good range of specials and interesting desserts.

We always have a meal here when holidaying in the area. The Scottish hospitality and food is first class. Great options including vegan, in a wonderful atmospheric Inn. Support local businesses.

Great atmosphere, and lovely staff. We arrived without booking which was not a problem, we also had a dog which was allowed in the smaller bar which was lovley. The food was amazing! We very much enjoyed our visit!

Everything about our visit was excellent, a Tavern with a fascinating history and the work the family had done to make it safe, warm and attractive was very much appreciated and by far the safest place we had come across on our 10 days in Scotland. Please keep up the good work.

We had lunch here after a hill walk. The food was excellent. Plenty of choice for everyone. The building dates back to the 1500s. It has a lovely snug where dogs are welcome. The chef has been on Master Chef which explains the quality of the food. Definitely worth a visit.

Friendly service and good menu using local produce. Particularly recommend the Balgedie Smokie - and the cheesecake.

Very good social distancing policy- popped in with no booking and got a table just had snacks but they were delicious and the service was very good and friendly - will visit again

First time for lunch since new ownership and we loved it! Warm, welcoming atmosphere, great choice and fab service! Totally deserve 5 stars.

I treated my friend to lunch at the Balgedie and was very disappointed with the service,the food and the timings of order’s. It’s not the first time I’ve had this experience there. I’ll not go back.

An absolutely charming place. Excellent food and top class service. We hadn’t been here for a long time and the new owners really know how to treat people and have created a friendly, relaxing ambience. Highly recommended!

Went there for lunch with my husband , sister-in law and niece, we all had delicious food, I cannot go there and not have the Balgedie Smokie, it is a delicious piece of fish in a cheesey creamy sauce with mashed potato and vegetables served in a skillet which keeps it warm as your eating. well worth a visit.

Good pub food, busy place. Great Korean beef dish from special board, best pub dish I've tasted in a long time, dog friendly in the little bar, def worth a visit

We've been to the Toll a few times recently since new owners took over & each time enjoyed the friendly atmosphere & great food.A group of 6 of us ate here the other night and had a good mix of dishes between us - everything is very nicely presented with tastes to match.There's a good choice on the printed menu plus several specials on the chalkboard.Back to a great local!

Spent a lovely evening with friends. Easy to park. Staff were friendly and helpful. Didn't have to wait too long for food, and food was excellent. Warm environment with good open gas fire. No complaints.

Having not visited this establishment for a while we were surprised to find it under new management. The eating area hasn't changed and the log fire (gas) was welcome on the cold day we visited. We ordered drinks, tea, as the latte machine was broken. The tea pot held enough for 2 cups. I ordered the fish and my wife ordered the soup with a side of chips. My fish tasted really nice, the only niggle I had was the mushy peas, which were served cold in a separate ramakin I would of preferred them hot. Overall it was a nice meal with plenty to choose on the new menu. The servers were polite, prompt and well presented.

We were delighted to find that the welcoming Balgeddie Toll Tavern has a small,snug room set aside for dog owners, it means that we can visit more often. We are pescatarian and can always find something we fancy. In most places I will enjoy a starter but be disappointed with the main course or vice versa. I can honestly say that I have never been disappointed with any of my courses here. The Smokie based meals are to die for. I will be back again, and again.

Nice warm and efficient. Excellent imaginative food and first class value. Without hesitation would return

Been twice since new owners arrived enjoyed both meals. Nice staff grand daughter had Prawn salad withe scampi small portion which she really enjoyed maybe should add to childs menu. Will be back.

What a fabulous meal my friends and I had yesterday at this wee diamond of a pub/restaurant. The service was friendly, attentive and efficient despite every table occupied. I have to say the food was delicious, served well presented, hot and plentiful. Congratulations to the chef and front of house staff!

we recenrtly visited this establishment and were very pleased with the presentation and quality of the food. It was served by really present members of staff who were attentive without being overbearing. The food was reasonably priced and plenty of choice.

Overall great from the service to the food couldn’t moan about a thing would defiantly recommend to anyone and would revisit if ever in the area again

Stopped visiting this restaurant in the last few years as it was a bit of a hit or a miss. Since the new owners took over earlier this month we have eaten here twice. The good is delicious, can’t fault it at all. The staff are lovely & welcoming. Definitely on our favourite list now. Well done Neil, Catriona and staff
