Fantastic place for a well earned snack or in our case a meal, after a long walk in the Canada Woods - highly recommend

Lovely staff and location but the food was massively overpriced for what you got. Mac and cheese at £14.50 for a medium sized ramekin of mac and cheese which tasted mostly just of creamy and a sprinkling of skinny fries. Kids sandwich is half a sandwich (2pieces of bread with filling, of which you get two bits). I know prices are higher throughout all industries, but throw a bit of salad on the plate to bulk things out before you charge £15 for something that costs pennies to produce. Would definitely not eat there again despite the lovely location, free parking and nice staff. Just not worth the money. £2.75 for a can of Fanta? Thank goodness we stuck with water.

Brilliant parking Lovely walks Looks like great cycling (didn't have time to try, but packed with bikes) Brilliant cafe, dog friendly (recommend booking if taking a dog). The cooked breakfast is SO good. There is also a bike shop which I wasn't allowed to go in encase I left with a new bike. 😁

We had such a lovely time at this venue, from the brunch we ordered to the excellent refreshments. We had great service from the team, particularly our waiter/server Finlay. The team were efficient with our booking and organized us a lovely table inside the venue. As we were really enjoying the venue and the weather, not to mention that we got to see some deer, Finlay organized with the manager to get us another table outside. We were so impressed that we didn't want to leave, so not only will be returning to this venue; it is also highly recommended.

A bit of a hidden gem this one. Excellent staff and free parking (but you need the barrier code from staff). Relaxed and clean interior with a great selection of goodies for after your food. All of the food was decent stuff. The coffee was a bit weak but that's a preference thing and subjective. Would come back if I was hiking the area.

Very friendly service in a lovely setting with easy access parking and plenty of outdoor seating. Prices are reasonable, and the inside atmosphere is very nice with a welcoming dog wall of visiting pets as well. Was reasonably busy, but breakfast in this case arrived quite quickly with plenty of staff available. A nice selection of deserts & cakes and the food quality was great with only the bacon being not to my taste. Would visit agaij especially in the nicer weather although I suspect booking a table would be best as it's a popular area. Parking was free in the nearby car park.

This restaurant was a disappointment on a few levels. (In response to the unprofessional reply from the owners after my poor experience, I went through the other reviews and this is not an isolated incident, consider further customer relation training for your front of house staff and servers to help them deal with busier times instead of brushing off complaints and pretending that there is no room for improvement, very poor management indeed!) The service was so poor by the hostess/manager, unwelcoming and a bit rude, that I do not want to go back. The sound is also a bit overwhelming as there is no audio damping and it is very difficult to hear across a table.

More expensive than some places but you get what you pay for with decent portion sizes, value for money and excellent service. There are things on the menu with a price range to suit everyone We will definitely be back sometime.

Arrived late lunchtime and it was busy. Our order was taken quickly but there was a wait for the food: however it was very very fresh and the Canada salad probably one of the best as it wasn’t bulked up with cheap salad leaves. We had to twice catch the wait staffs eye as it appeared we’d been overlooked for the drinks/cake menu and then taking payment..that said the staff were very polite & friendly. Definitely coming back with the dogs as it’s very dog friendly Well worth the visit.

Update: We've eaten here many times now for breakfast and lunch and it really is excellent. Personally, I prefer it for breakfast though. There are a few options for veggies and more for carnivores - especially on the lunch menu (I stick to the cheese toastie for lunch which is a good size, though I would love to see a veggie burger on the menu too. For breakfast, the vegetarian breakfast bake is something different to the regular offerings of Linda McCartney Sausages or egg rolls that you find pretty much everywhere else and the poached eggs on toast are the best I've had without question. The staff are attentive, though it can take some time to get seated at busy points of the day and you can need to be forward in asking for a bill at the end of the meal. We spend between £20 and £30 per visit for the two of us. Dogs are welcome and get added to a wall of fame and there is an outdoor area which is very popular when the weather allows. Parking is ample and there are fantastic walks/ biking routes on the doorstep for walking off the meal. Keep an eye out for deer in the field opposite and the occasional hare on the footpaths. If you head up to the viewpoint in Tamfourhill Wood between April and August, the Highland cows are likely to be in the field with their calves too! If you get a cake (much recommended) or coffee to take away, please put your litter in the bin in the car park though - I've picked up a few coffee cups on my walks of the woods.

Around 10/15 minutes outside Falkirk. There's plenty parking outside the cafe at the start of several different walks (lots of explanatory posts on the Battle one anyway). Stopped in after walking around the Battle of Falkirk - walk is great for controlled dogs off leash tho there are two or three roads that you need to cross. Re the actual cafe.... Specific section for dogs. Staff are lovely, place has a nice ambiance.... Only issue I have is that the food is fairly expensive.... Maybe others will disagree but suffice to say that if I take my baby back for a different walk, I may just buy myself a latte.....
