Need to book to be sure. Decent place with a typical 'pub' menu. Partner loved her prawn fajitas that were not short of prawns with a thick tomato/spicy sauce kick. Sweet potato fries ere very good. Burger and chips also good but the burger was a little salty and couldn't be cooked as 'medium' only well done - shame, as the quality of a good, fresh home made burger would allow this. Onion rings went down well.

From the moment of our walk in we were greeted by the staff and seated after only a few minutes wait whilst our table was cleared. Service was prompt and the menu a good choice of food, myself having the Haggis for starters and Lamb Shank for a main. Food was hot and cooked thoroughly, with the Lamb Shank falling of the bone as expected. Staff smartly dressed giving the whole feel of professionalism. Good selection of draught ales, including Guinness, also a wide variety of Whiskeys if that’s your pleasure. Well done to all at The Birds and Bees, as a visitor from England you have not disappointed, definitely be back the next time we’re in Stirling. 10/10.

Myself, husband and 4 children ate here on 17th August, and we are all in agreement that everything was fantastic. Great service and lovely food. Friendly staff a big shout out to the manager, we're here on holidays and he gave us great advice and tips on places to visit. Kids menu had a fantastic choice, and my husband, who's gluten intolerant, was very impressed with the gluten-free menu and beer. Highly recommend.

A big thank you to Danny and the team for lunch. The front of house staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you to the kitchen staff for cooking delicious lunch - you nailed it!!! The meal was reasonably priced. Very impressed with the variety of dishes on vegan menu (you need to ask the staff for a vegan menu).

My girlfriend and I are on a mini break in Sterling. The barman at the hotel recommend The Birds and the Bees. Wow! The service was fast and friendly. We ordered steak. Mine was medium rare, my GF's was well done. Both were fantastic. Cooked really well, and very tasty. I'd recommend the rib eye with whiskey, onion and haggis sauce. The place had a nice atmosphere too. Worth the trip from Middlesbrough!

I know it was mothers day yesterday, and appreciate the restaurant being busy. But the service was terrible. We booked a table for 3pm, we still hadn't received our starters at the back of 4. Eventually they cleared the table, and we had to ask an hour later where our mains were. They hadn't put our mains through so had to wait longer. I complained to the manager, he was apologetic and offered a free round of drinks. They took about half an hour to bring a diet irn bru. The food was amazing but the service not good at all. Also, when we were sat waiting for a long time, we decided because it was such a nice day, to go out in the external seating area to enjoy our drinks in the sun, and i went to check several times if our starters had came, when they did, the lady was absolutely annoyed that we were not sitting at the table when she brought them. The attitude of the staff was shocking. Wont be back, wouldn't recommend here ever.

I have visited here twice on my visit over from Germany and both visits have been excellent. Staff are very friendly and very helpful. Now for the food first visit Chicken Ecosse =Chicken breast on a bed of haggis with a delicious pepper sauce most enjoyable and tasty tasty. My visit today I decided to have the haggis nachos wow a taste explosion and a generous portion for a starter, baked potato for my main was yummy just the right size after nachos. Seating is good comfortable chairs inside and a large seating area outside for sunny days. Parking area is available. I will be back here on my next visit to Bonnie Scotland.

It was supposed to be a happy Mother's Day meal out. instead it turned into a finger tapping and bad tempered afternoon. Service was as slow as it could be. Over an hour until any food arrived. And on the adjacent table they waited 1 hour and 35 minutes. There was an under-current of discontent as people waited for meals which were no arriving.I understand that it was Mother's Day, and a big pay-day for hospitality. So very busy. But if you take my booking, and charge me over £80, I expect a reasonable product.When I spoke to the lady-owner, she said they had been busy, and she was disappointed I felt the way I did. as though someone else sitting twiddling their thumbs might have felt differently. I didn't ask for a refund, and none was offered, but I feel some sort of "gesture", such as £20 off the bill might have smoothed matters.When the food did arrive, the roast beef and the halibut were OK, but the belly pork was a miserly portion in relation to the beef, and the mash had so much mustard it it was sickening.And the moral of this? Don't go to the Birds and Bees when they are busy, which is quite often. And if you do go, do not expect any sympathy when you complain.

We visited with friends at the weekend, couldn’t really fault the food, however the service wasn’t good… my husband ordered a steak, and they didn’t bring the chips to go with it, we had to chase them for those, we weren’t offered any condiments, we had to chase the staff to get more drinks, and then again for a steak knife xx They would literally rush away before we could finish asking for things, which resorted in us keep having to call them back, it was getting ridiculous! Then we were asked about dessert when plates were cleared, menus were brought but. But nobody came back, half an hour later someone came to ask and we decided the service was that poor we wouldn’t bother spending any more money on food and drinks in the place. Won’t rush back sadly.

The ambience of the restaurant is wonderful. It’s unusual quirky and has a lovely warmth about it. I ordered nachos and fish and chips and my companion had Brie followed by steak pie. We both ate every last scrap. The good was really quick, red hot, beautifully presented and just tasted great. It was made with clearly very fresh ingredients and it all tasted very home made, nothing out if a packet etc, even home made salsa and tartar sauce. The big surprise was the bill, it was a heck of a lot lower than we expected based on what we had and how good it was, we were really impressed. Added to that the service was impeccable, especially from Danny and Emma, we did promise to mention them in exchange for extra pieces of tablet lol

My niece was celebrating her birthday and a family meal was booked at The Birds and The Bees. As I live in Cyprus I was not able to attend but telephoned and spoke with Danny to enquire if I could pay for a bottle of bubbly to be taken to their table with best wishes from my husband and I. Danny could not have been more friendly and helpful. He kindly said it would be no problem and agreed to deliver the bottle to the table with a lovely message. He was lovely to speak to and is a great credit to his employers as well as valuing customers and treating them so well. When we next visit Stirling we shall definitely pay a visit. I know my family will have a wonderful night, with great service and delicious food! Thank you again Danny

Vistited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago in a large family group of 10 plus a dog. We were delighted with everything: food, service, ambience, setting. We entered by the beautiful outside terrace into the bar area which had a welcoming real fire going, we were taken to our table and loved the many artefacts placed around adding to the atmosphere. Spetacural setting against the backdrop of the strikingly beautiful Ochils bathed in a soft, golden amber light as the sun was going down.

Tucked away in a residential area of Stirling this pub is so worth finding - and has a well deserved entry in CAMRA'S Good Beer Guide. Lovely dining area with views from some tables over the surrounding countryside. Now for the real deal! The haddock and chips was the best I have had bar none and the beer batter melted in your mouth making every mouthful a delight! The staff were super friendly and welcoming and happy to advise on menu choices. My wife enjoyed the equally delicious Chicken in pink peppercorn sauce. This pub is only a few minutes away from the local landmark which is the National Wallace Monument which I would recommend you climb to before lunch rather than after! Definitely worth finding and we will return for sure another time. Thank you.

We had one of the best meals ever today not far from Wallace Monument. Not exactly somewhere you’ll find easily but well worth checking this place out. One of the most flavoursome Steaks cooked to perfection well done to the Chef and the Team at the Birds and the Bees all of our food was outstanding but those who had steak out numbered the rest of us with their 10 out of 10 remarks so we’ve highlighted it as AMAZING. Can’t wait to return and the team at the Birds and the Bees should be well and truly proud of themselves. Thanks Guys.

An equally big thank you to the kitchen, as our Jambalaya was spot on and didn't skimp on the chicken and prawns! There were a lot of potential choices for us on the extensive menu and it's a real shame that we're only in Stirling for the one night on this trip.Please don't abuse their hospitality by bringing a badly behaved or overly boisterous pooch though!

This was recommended by the owner of the B&B we were staying at and it was within walking distance so we thought we'd give it a whirl.The location is very pleasant, overlooking fields and the place itself is rather nice too.When we arrived it was quite busy with what seemed to be a birthday group, but they left not long after we arrived so it quieted off.The food was good, I had the Satay Chicken strips, although I must say I couldn't taste any peanut in my Satay sauce! My wife had Chicken Fajitas and there was probably enough in her portion to feed the two of us! On the whole, much better than your standard pub fayre and not too expensive.

The view from the terrace is lovely- a field full of jersey cows and nosy sheep with Ben Ledi and Ben Vorlich off in the distance. We ordered steak pie and chicken with haggis.

Visited on my own. Despite being the only person in, the four staff shared jokes between themselves for at least two minutes before one finally asked if I would like a drink. I was not asked if I'd like another drink despite sitting with a near empty glass for around 10 minutes, baffling when you'd think maximising revenue would be a priority after so long in lockdown. Unfortunately this type of service is typical in the Bees where the staff are less than attentive and was the same pre-COVID. A QR code ordering system would improve the experience.

Thr Birds and the Bees looked like a nice restaurant from outside but looked a bit dated and worn on the inside.. Electric mixture of things around us.The place was so cold, we were sat at a table next to a constantly opening door, asked to be moved and they happily moved us. Most people inside sat with jackets on. The temperature made it hard to relax, told fire could not be put on. As staff were running around busy I am sure they were warm, but no heat for patrons.My friends enjoyed their food, mine was ok. Good portions though. Staff were very busy and very helpful, though it did d take a while for them to bring water for my friend's guide dog. I do feel a bit disappointed that my first lunch out was here. It was just so flippin cold inside. I get that it's first day back and I have no complaints with staff or even the food. Just think of your patrons comfort with heating.

We went out for dinner at the Birds & Bees partly to benefit from the Chancellor's largesse but mainly for a romantic dinner and were not disappointed on either count. I started with Creamy Garlic Mushrooms and my partner had Tempura Prawns which were both good. We followed this with Chicken with a Brandy Peppercorn sauce (good and peppery) and Vegetable Enchiladas (succulent and a large portion!). Neither of us could manage a dessert! Great meal and excellent service.

It was Mother’s Day only 2 days after the Corona Virus closed all pubs & restaurants. I’m sure the Birds & Bees had a lot of tables booked for that day, but very quickly they turned things round and produced an excellent carry out menu. We were treated to one of these meals, delivered to the door, at the arranged time, all piping hot and with Mother’s day good wishes. Well done Birds & Bees. Stay safe and I hope you all survive.

Went for a Christmas lunch with colleagues and in spite of time of year the waitresses did a grand job of keeping things going when very busy. Everting though the food was tasty and well presented but I felt it wasn’t quite as good as last year, when we had gone for a similar works lunch event

We have eaten here a few times, and the food is always really good. The portions are generous and the service is excellent.We ate at lunchtime and I had the chicken satay, which was spectacular! My husband had a burger and my mum had the battered haddock, both of which were delicious.The Birds and the Bees have a lovely lunchtime menu, the food is delicious and the service is excellent.Highly recommended, as is their other restaurant, the Torbrex Inn.

We just had a meal here with my family for my father's birthday and it was nothing short of fantastic! The atmosphere was so cosy and friendly. We felt so comfortable the entire time. The service was quick and attentive. We were made to feel very well looked after all night. The food was amazing. We had the sharing platter and nachos for starts which were amazing for the prize. We had the chicken satay, enchiladas, steak and the duck special.they were all so good! Yummy food and plentiful portions. We still found room for dessert too though. So good!! They even put a candle in the dessert for the birthday such a lovely surprise. All in all such a good night and birthday was much enjoyed!!! Will definitely be back.

Nos paramos en este encantador restaurante de camino al monumento Wallace. La atención fue muy buena sobretodo con los niños, que se encontraron muy a gusto y disfrutaron de la comida. Todo muy delicioso! Disfrutamos de pollo al curry y estofado de venado. A los niños los sorprendieron con un helado cubierto de mini nubes!

I have occasionally visited the pub on and off for a couple of decades now. I remember it from years back and have watched the changes. I hadn't been for approx 2 years & thought we'd have lunch this Sunday. The place was very busy but the service was good and we didn't need to wait too long for food when ordered. i had to ask for the vegan menu as this wasn't offered on our arrival but that's a minimal point. There isn't the warm, cozy atmosphere it used to have and I missed that, but the food was nice and tasty. There was a variety of the usual pub type choices & meat eaters will have plenty to choose from. Vegans/vegetarians, not so much, but there is enough if it's only a random visit. Vegans might struggle if it was more regular and you like varied choices. The chef was very accommodating and will add/alter ingredients if there are particular needs. The seats are a little uncomfortable for long stays but okay for an hour or two. Very friendly, helpful staff. A well deserved 4 stars from me and i would happily recommend a visit.

Situated in a rural farmhouse that was absorbed by the growth of the city, this is certainly not only one of the best restaurants in the area, but one of the best pubs. The customer service is perfect, food, wine, beers and malt whiskeys are very good. The atmosphere and decor were perfect. Given the location, central strip of Scotland, the specialty of the house was the meat and vegetables like mushrooms. It is one of the favorite places to by the locals, which is not surprising. Their facilities are huge, and is a place for weddings and celebrations. It is divided into several dining and bar areas, where we can eat more casual food or just enjoy a drink.

Although the decor of this Restaurant/Pub tries a bit too hard to be "rustic",the service and the food were good,staff were helpful and friendly,and prices were not too expensive.All in all would return if in the area.

the usual mundane pub grub and not very appetising. Done on the cheap. We had not been there for a few years and were disappointed by the menu and the food and the presentation. expensive pub grub in a grim atmosphere.

Service was very slow although not that busy. Reordered drinks and they took forever to arrive. There was 2 adults and one child and when it came to paying, we were charged for '4' adult meals. Then we informed the staff that the child meal and drink was one price, he had to amend the bill again. We will not be returning

My local. A great dog friendly pub/restaurant. Food is good but I don't think home made. Sometimes service for food can be a bit slow. Usual has a couple of good real ales. Overall I love the place.

This restaurant/pub has seating for crowds and it's needed as the locals know where to eat and celebrate. The food was tasty, filling, and quick to arrive. There is a large selection of scotches for sampling. The decor is rustic as one would expect in a converted farm building but the interior is nicely appointed. Highly recommend

We ventured to stirling for a Christmas night out, myself and my partner waited almost 35 mins before someone took our drinks order and waited a ridiculous amount of time between courses...my main course being cold (jambalaya) and was total gloop.Staff were pleasant enough but far too busy and distracted with other duties. The food had been recommended to us as being “amazing” and a must out of the restaurants in Stirling by friends and I was very disappointed with our experience here as it looked lovely online and aesthetically however it is understaffed and overrated.

I recently went to a Christmas part night here. I was very impressed. Food was lovely and served fast even tho it was full. I have never had beef as nice as I had here. Staff where warm and welcoming and nothing was to much hassle for them. Great dj. Lovely and clean. Can’t wait for my next visit. Well done to all staff and esp the manager Danny for making my party feel so welcomed.

Having previously had great meals in the Birds and the Bees, I was looking forward to lunch today. We had booked table for 3pm. Arrived to be told that someone would be with us in just a second. 5 minutes later waitress took our name and came back to say manager was just sorting our table. 15 minutes later someone else came back to take the name of the booking. A very mumbled apology from manager that he thought someone was seeing to us despite us.

Went here on recommendation. Place was busy which was usually a sign of good quality. The starter meat platter was very well presented and tasted good, but that's where the good food ended. The jambalaya seemed microwaved and dry, and the salmon noodles had more onions and raw veg than actual noodles.

I did the Warehouse No. 4 tour. It's a bit expensive, but it was worth it to taste straight from the barrel! Luckily, our group was very small, so the tour felt very personal, and we had time to chat and ask questions in between the informative parts. The whisky all tasted very good! I love that they reuse all different types of barrels, including American bourbon ones! It was fun to taste the differences among them. They told me Deanston is sold in my state (I'm from american), so I will definitely be looking for it!

We ate here after visiting the castle on our way back down, and what an absolute treat! This place really is worth a visit, it's super cute and cozy, the staff are so friendly, and the food was great! It's a real gem, whether going there for lunch, or popping in to grab a packed lunch to take up to the castle, it's absolutely worth checking out!
