Carron Works in Falkirk

Really good Spoons particular mention to Chloe the Manager who I always f8nd helpful pleasant and professional . Pleasure to visit this establishment.

Breakfast at The Carron Works was the order of the day before visiting The Kelpies and beyond... It was 8am on a Saturday morning and the pub was empty, we were the only punters in the place. The server was a friendly chap who was more than happy to help, chatty, welcoming and only too pleased to swap our fried eggs for poached. You'd be amazed how difficult that can be.... Wetherspoons is the Mcdonalds of the pub world. They're all the same, you know what you're getting and familiarity is your friend. The breakfast arrived and for the price it was very good indeed. Cooked nicely, hot, tasty and we were delighted with our culinary start to the day. We enjoyed a couple of coffees and headed off into Falkirk to enjoy our day, fed, watered and very happy

We had a great service and want to give a special shoutout to Ashley. She was incredible and very friendly, always smiling and giving an excellent service. She deserves credit.

We visited for afternoon drinks and a very enjoyable afternoon. Always receive good service here however I had a small issue of concern today. I spoke with a team leader, Maria, and explained that service was not of the usual high standard I had come to expect. She listened intently and acknowledged my concern. She rectified the issue immediately and resolved to ensure our visit was an enjoyable one. She did so and it was appreciated that before we left she asked if everything had been to our satisfaction. A splendid example of excellent customer service. Well done Maria and thank you very much!

Vistited today for drinks. We visit here every week. Typical Wetherspoons with excellent prices and clean facilities. We had a really enjoyable day made extra special by the first-class welcome and service from Jeni. When we arrived she was on her way to a table with drinks for other customers yet took to the time to acknowledge us with a big welcoming smile. Later she brought our drinks to our table and was really pleasant. Top marks Jeni and thank you!

We arrived and were shown to a table where we sat for 15 minutes without interruption from any of the staff inquiring about drinks or indeed food. Satisfied that we had sampled the atmosphere & standard of service if not the food we left to find an eatery that wanted our custom. It wasn't as if the restaurant was busy. Only another two tables had customers.

Whenever we go out I always search for a wetherspoons pub. Today was no exception. The staff were polite, and the food (American Breakfast) was fresh. The eggs were really cooked, which isn't an issue. I just prefer a runny yolk. I also forgot that alcohol on a Sunday can't be served before 10am. The ladies toilets are clean, well lit, and maintained. Gents toilets are clean but shabby and locks are missing off some of the cubicles

I come here when I am in the area and over the years it can be a hit or a miss depending upon who behind the counter. My last few visits have been good 4 star with helpful mainly cheery staff. Decent food and drinks. However my most recent visit was anything but. Getting someone to wipe the table was difficult and grudged. Getting served was eventful. Gave my order of 3 items paid my money. Lady poured 3/4 of a pint said something to another lady and walked away. Second Lady had to finish my order which I had to repeat to her twice. Very unprofessional. A bit of customer service training would not go amiss.

Our visit started as normal but after the third pint of Bud Light the app told me it wasn’t available. A staff member said it wasn’t pouring properly. A good day to which I looked forward for a long time was ruined. When staff bring a whisky to the table they might ask if water is needed rather than running off at breakneck speed. Altogether an unpleasant experience. It might be cheap here but much attention is needed to provide a proper service. Very poor.

Visited here for a drink and lunch. Not very busy when we arrived but by mid lunchtime most of the tables were full. Our lunches came with one of them missing a few items. But it was easily corrected when we spoke to staff. Food was tasty and drink’s inexpensive. Tables cleared regularly and wiped which was good to see. Staff were helpful and efficient. Only drawback was the constant swearing from some elderly regulars who seem to think everyone wants to listen to their conversations. However most customers are decent and friendly. We will be back.

Great place, clean tables, clean toilets and service was good We had breakfast here and went a couple of times for drinks, couldn't fault anything, in fact I wish that our Wetherspoons was like this it was clean tidy and pleasant surroundings not like Southport Well done to the staff for making this possible

They close the bar early if it's quiet terrible attitude from staff and you never know when last orders is going to be. Food is very rarely cooked and presented properly or cold with no apology when replaced

Great food and staff bit wear a jacket and thermals,their heating hardly works. Foods half decent and most of the staff are spot on apart from 1 or 2 who can't see kids having fun

This is a good pub and we visit regularly. I just wanted to comment on the excellent service we received today. After ordering on the app we changed tables (yes, we did!). Anyway we spoke with Rachel who was cleaning tables at the time. She was so pleasant and helpful, stopped what she was doing, went to the bar and brought the drinks to our table straight away. She had good eye contact, a big smile and nothing was too much trouble for her. Very well done, Rachel and thank you very much!

Pleasant environment and very competitive pricing. Toilets were clean and modern. Although they are located upstairs there is a toilet downstairs and there plenty of staff always on the floor to enable access. We used the app to order and drinks were delivered very quickly. Special thanks to Sarah who answered all enquiries competently and with a big smile. She provided exceptional customer service today and this was a key part of our most enjoyable visit.

Ryan, the duty manager, walking around with his face mask under his chin! When I asked why, he replied "because" and walked away from me like a 10 year old child!!! I am absolutely appalled by this blatant disregard for current guidance, a very poor example to customers and not in the least concerned for my welfare!!!

If a place is very busy then good sign. This place was as say jumping. Food was good. Staff were good and helpful. Could not fault place.

We ordered 2 breakfasts and both arrived almost cold. Sent these back and after 15 minutes they arrived recooked but again cold. The problem or challenge is heating the plates. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to heat a plate. Plates were cold …. so food was cold. It’s the worst Wetherspoons I have been in. Very bad experience.

It was dingy with dirty carpets, the food was reheated and tasted awful. Most certainly the worst Wetherspoons I have visited

Popped in for lunch as had been in town shopping. My husband ordered a small mixed grill and I ordered pasta Alfredo. As the title says, 1, the mixed grill was fine, the pasta was terrible. Overcooked, obviously microwaved until it was all dried up...

A Saturday evening in the area and so we went looking for somewhere to eat. The places that we found open were busy and eventually we had little option but to visit here. It was virtually full of twenty year olds letting their hair down...

Worst experience ever in this pub. Was abused by the duty manager Ryan after messing up our order 3 times. No apology. Worst custmoer experience I have ever received in a restaurant from Ryan and Stephen. No customer service. Paid for a meal and drinks...

Pub is situated in a nice quiet street just off the main square. Found staff to be nice and friendly and service, under the current circumstances, very good. Usual Wetherspoons interior with a lovely beer garden at the rear if the weather is kind to...

This Weatherspoons failed to impress with slow service and lack of stock. Staff required constant prompting. The beer ordered was out of stock but this was kept a secret until prompted. Finally got a beer 20 minutes after arrival. No red wine with the burger...

Been a while since I have been to the Carron works, used to be good service but not on my last visit. 3 staff stood and blethered behind the bar when there were customers waiting to be served. Would have walked away but I was...

Ordered food, but when it arrived, 2 out of 3 plates had completely the wrong order, and the food was cold on arrival - no one actually came back to the table to check on the food, but we were starving and had to eat...

Went in for a meal on Saturday, although it was busy, my wife and I managed to get seats. The meal was fine, I had the ham, and my wife had the lasagna. The lasagne could have been a bit warmer, but nice enough. Couple...

Visited here last night between 4 and 6pm. Good atmosphere, busy with mixed age groups and families. Clean toilets. Drinks prices were excellent, £5 odds for a carun gin, tonic and bottle of Sol. Similar round the corner at Behind the Wall £11.30! Service good.

Called into Falkirk Spoons for a meal and a glass of wine. Service was excellent, food great, cannot complain. Great food, great service, great value for money.

If you want the most luxurious fine dining experience then this is not for you. However... We needed some lunch after our friends wedding so popped in for a burger and a drink. The prices are great and service was actually really good. We had...

I've been in many Wetherspoons pubs around Scotland and the Carron Works is by far the worst establishment I've visited.

After a long shift came in for a few drinks alone bar fairly quiet but great service from Jack and Rhys

Usually love Wetherspoons but was VERY disappointed with this one. Had to clear our own table and when our breakfast arrived some elements were missing with no explanation. Also toast was very badly burnt. NOT GOOD ENOUGH

Working in the area I decided to go in for food and a beer. Worked all over the country in my time and use Wetherspoons regular, with the range going from not bad to brilliant. This is an embarrassment to wetherspoons. Waited ages for table to be cleaned before waiting even longer for food. I was about to ask have you forgot me when a young lady came to me with it. Had mixed grill. Absolutely disgusting. Stone cold and over cooked. Couldn’t be ass to complain it would have taken another 30 mins to catch someone’s attention and it wasn’t even busy.

While Bar staff in other wetherspoons are normally very quick in doing their job and are also great in watching who's next to be served, this is very different for this place. Very slow and even hard to get served, even though this place is not busy. This is not the type of service quality I'm used to from a wetherspoons.

Ordered two breakfasts. Both had eggs well overdone but husband decided to eat his. I asked for another which arrived 7 mins later along with my now cold beans sausage tomato and bacon. We were informed there was no haggis so refunded£1. There was also no potato scones which we were not informed about but when I asked we were given an alternative. Bacon served hot. Been to loads of Wetherspoons but this is definitely the worst, and the first time I’ve given a low review. a grubby spoons that I won’t visit again.

Visited for breakfast ordering was quick tea and coffee came out quick but waited 50 minutes for food! It was understaffed and tables lay with dirty plates and glasses, the poor boy bringing out the food was rushed off his feet and received many complaints which was not his fault. I don’t think I would come back to this one as others I have used have been fine.

Me n Tam were jus oot the court fur Tams breakin n entery accusations

Place is in much need of a refurbishment, suppose you get what you pay for, the only good thing is the range of lagers.

The worst wetherspoons I have been in, i had to send the fish and chips back friday, had breakfast Saturday and we were the only ones in, my breakfast was warm only, the egg was cold and set, how can they serve food like this

We enjoyed a lovely meal at a great price but most importantly was the service we received from Daniel. He was so courteous and made sure we felt very welcome! Would highly recommend.

I asked for mayonnaise as it never came with my meal even though I ordered it, I then went to a member of staff to ask for some where she made a face at me and told me I had to look around the busy restaurant myself and look for it. Then when she was walking away made another face and made shrugged her shoulders at another employee then continued to talk about me and my friends.

When in to wethspoons falkirk to day and had to send it bk as it all microwaved thay say on the menu it fresh it not I work in a kichin for a living and wee don't microwave enny thing it all fresh or nuthung.

Good choice of traditional and modern pub food with food size of portion options at very reasonable prices

Went here with family members for breakfast on a Saturday morning before going out shopping.

Come here regularly with family and as the title says “you get what you pay for”.

I came here with friends totalling 4 adults and 4 kids from 5 to 9 years old. We stumbled across it and decided to grab a drink but needed up staying for food as well.

Come here regularly,prices are reasonable,food is average,the staff try their best, but this Wetherspoon's does get busy,it does have a disabled ♿ toilet at ground floor level, but the toilets are upstairs which is a bit of a problem at times, beer garden to the rear of the premises, decor requires upgrading. toilets could also do with a revamp.

Went here for breakfast, the girrl behind the bar was very efficient and professional. Food was amazing, hot and weel cooked and presented. The onlyt hing spoiling it was the foul language from old men sitting at a table behind me, I spoke to the barmaid but nothing was done about the it as the men are regulars. I would highly recommend this for breakfast but be prepared to listen to the F word being continually used!!.

this is a Witherspoons pub and it gives the usual great prices for drinks. The pub doesn't have a great atmosphere but I enjoyed going in there

I went to Falkirk for football and decided to visit the local Wetherspoons.

My wife and I were here with our friends to have dinner and I have to say the food was okay a lot of very dirty tables around but not as bad as one of your waitresses were very cheeky and to us we asked her if we could get another fork as my wife dropped hers and she said “ you will have to wait “ in a very cheeky manner also you could see her gossiping about us to another waitress she made us feel very in welcome by staring & making faces we will not be back she is a very sour faced blonde girl who needs retrained in customer service.

the tables weren’t clean, and they were sticky, desserts didn’t taste the best but the burgers were okay. the prices are good especially for drinks but you’d expect cleanliness to be better.

As wetherspoons goes this one seems more for the drinkers during the day. I have used it many times in the past but today the presentation of the pub and quality of food was poor for a wetherspoons. Yes it would have been by a mile the most busiest restaurant in town at 4:30 on a thursday afternoon because it is usually good quality, but today it felt cheap and tacky. one of the drunks was barely awake at the front door.

I popped in for breakfast here after a long period going elsewhere and remembered a good standard of quality fare last time. I ordered a black pudding roll and tea and was very disappointed. The roll reminded me of the island of Kos, swimming in grease! It was over-cooked and hard and noticeable by the fact it was only one slice so they have cut down the portions as well as the quality. At least the tea was nice and the service was good but it's off my breakfast list for good.

As I was in Falkirk and this was only place I could find nearby my hotel, if being very tired from my hotel experience I didnt to travel to far so I thought I’ll try this place on Saturday night, I have to say I was impressed by the service from the staff and the food was really good also the food was out within minutes of Placing the order, it was of great quality as well, just wanna say thank you for making my stay better than it was well done to you all

Had a lovely breakfast here. Nice food, quick service and very friendly staff. Very well presented Weatherspoons

Usual Wetherspoon's good food and great drinks at reasonable prices. Stayed in hotel 100 yards away so was handy for dinner drinks and breakfast 😁. Great choice of Gin with thirty to choose from.

I was over at the Carronworks Wetherspoons drinking facility at 10 o’clock. I asked for a cup of tea, beans, bacon and a slice of toast. This simple request could not be made possible. A very rude and intrusive lady at the bar insured me...

We meet our friends in The Carron Works most weeks, we have tried other pubs in the area but we find The Carron Works is best, the staff are very friendly, the place is clean and comfortable and the food and drink is good, it is not very often the tables are left dirty, we travel a lot to other Spoons in Scotland and England and the Carron works is at the top of our list and the chef is very good

I had never been to Falkirk before and I found myself in a rather strange hotel. I chose it because it was in the town centre and not far from the Carron Works. I often stay out in strange towns and usually there's a Wetherspoons for me to have a meal and a beer at a reasonable price. The Carron Works was no different except it's location in a town I've never been to before. I did the usual thing and went in and chose a table and looked to see what the evening special was. It was steak night so I ordered a steak and a beer. The beer was in good condition and the steak was succulent and juicy. Of course I had to have a second beer just to make sure it was good. I enjoyed my evening in a strange town in the local Wetherspoons and in a way it is no different to a lot of towns in Scotland or England for that matter. I often wonder what they are like on a Saturday evening but I feel that I'll never find out.

The choice of real ales is gradually dwindling.No matter what time of day you go here it's always untidy with glasses plates left on tables for a long time.Staff are kept busy and overworked.Visiting other Spoons you notice that there is more staff visible tidying tables and cleaning tables also which is not done in Falkirk without asking.Allin all this has to be the worst Spoons in the UK.

typical wetherspoons ,you get a very well priced meal. food quality is good,service was excellent,a great selection of beers at good prices.

This is a typical weatherspoons pub. Cheap food, cheap ale. Very large venue and was very busy, we did have to clear our own table. The toilets were very clean and to be fair it didnt have sticky carpets so slightly cleaner than the average spoons. Recommend the highland burger.

Never out the place it's cheap and cheerful, tried almost everything on the menu, steak club is yummy plus love the fact that you can pay the same price in mcds for a munch and still have your dinner when your home unlike spoons it's a dinner plus free alcoholic beverage.

The service in here is shocking, it takes forever to get served and some staff need to take customer care courses, staff walking by tables that clearly need cleared with not a care in the world, not good mr wetherspoon!

Had Sunday lunch in here. Wanted decaf tea but they had none which Wetherspoons normally have so very disappointed there. The food was nice and the service good but ordered 2 apple crumbles for dessert and after a few minutes, the waitress said the kitchen only had one. Not good considering it was only midday and we should have been told that at the till. Also, when the desserts arrived, both spoons were dirty so had to ask for clean ones. Need to up their game in here.

Cheap and better than some more expensive places.They do a good breakfast. The meal deals in the evening are also value for money.

Short visit before returning to London. Tues midday. Pretty quiet but still ok atmosphere. Thought decor quite good for the chain. I found beer choice in the area pretty poor during our three days so this was pretty good with usual choice of ales and various lagers. Nowhere else got close to the six beers for £12 so well happy

I used to love going to this place but not anymore. Decidedly run down, needs redecoration and refurbishment. Dark dowdy and dirty.

Popped in just by chance. Great Scottish pub. No frills. Order your food at the bar, great value for a really good meal.

A last minute choice for Lunch with a large family group proved to be an excellent choice.

Este es un muy popular Wetherspoons. Llamamos para tomar un café y fue muy popular y concurrida, con pedidos de comida también. Nos pareció que era un poco oscura y podía hacer con mejor iluminación.

Mi pareja y parecen ser de visita semanal el pasado 2 meses. No me puedo quejar.. comida decente y pinta para muy bajo costo. .

Aparecimos aquí para una bebida antes de ir a cenar a la vuelta de la esquina. Gran relación calidad-precio nos dieron una botella de vino por 12 gbp. Los toilettes, preciosa única queja es que era muy ruidoso, lo que es debido a los techos bajos.

Estado aquí dos veces este fin de semana, personal amable, buena comida, buen precio, así como la parte de la cadena. Orden de App no funcionaba. Sin duda volveré

Fuimos allí por un buen desayuno tradicional escocés. A un precio muy razonable y delicioso. Disfrutamos mucho de mi desayuno y sin duda volveremos de nuevo x

Not been here for quite sometime, it's fairy busy for a Monday afternoon, good to see falkirk people still like to come to the pub, this place is pretty much the same as most wetherspoons, the decor is nice enough, the place appears clean enough, the staff are pleasant, and the prices are not bad. Oh and the Innis and Gunn is still a great pint, will be back.

Old men nursing their pints, workers having a beer on their way home, families in for a cheap meal. Better pubs in Falkirk, but it does the job.

We ordered the 14 oz Angus steak and a side of spicy prawns. Both were delicious. The service was prompt and friendly.

My review is for last Tuesday (30th May 2017). We both ordered a rare sirloin steak. But steaks were very over done. Yet the Tuesday before this the rare steak was perfect. So its a hit or miss if u get what u want. I usually get a skinny sirloin steak done rare and my friend gets sirloin steak with chips etc. But as I said both steaks were nearly well done steaks which was very chewy and we did not enjoy it at all. So much that we didn't bother going today (Tuesday). We might go next weekend but we will see. Next time I'm definitely complaining if the steak is over cooked

Had a really nice 14oz Aberdeen Angus steak , for just an extra £2 more it's well worth it. Comes with chips ,peas, tomato and mushrooms. Less than £9 . And comes with a drink .

Car in for service, so, popped in for breakfast, and very good it was too. I tend to find Wetherspoons food a bit hit and miss, but, have no complaints whatsoever about my large Scottish. Excellent. This was my first visit here, and like the decor, friendly staff, and all round good atmosphere. Be happy to return

Been coming here for years, it's still the same cheap meet up point! Friendly staff, always a good atmosphere, always serving affordable drinks and food!

Usual first class service from the lovely Stephanie and cool,calm, collected Colin.......love the new app for ordering food/drink......Colin just brought my pint 30 seconds after ordering.....why go anywhere else?????

While in the area popped in for deli deal.The staff in here are all pleasant and really have a genuine manner...that's a skill in itself.Quick lunches and value meals is what this chain does best...and I think the way the staff speak to some of the 'older' people in here as well as some more 'vulnerable' people in for lunch is a credit to them.Our deli deal was piping hot and came with can of juice included.We witnessed tables being cleared and the toilets???????????Spotless!!!So I would recommend this wee gem in Bank Street.Nice atmosphere.Made very welcome,and that's what counts!!!Thank you all!

My partner and I had lunch here today, only because we were hungry and in a rush however as otherwise I would have left upon arrival. We couldn't find 1 clean table and had to clear the dishes and crumbs ourselves. I also watched 3 older couples do the same on their arrival. There was a table in the window with the remains of 2 cooked breakfasts congealing, they were still there when we left! The carpet is threadbare under the tables, the tables worn to the bare wood and the walls in need of a coat of paint. The staff were friendly, although clearly busy and thin on the ground.The food was ok, I've awarded a star for the food and 1 for the staff.

Needed a quick lunch on our travels so stopped in Falkirk and found a good old Wetherspoons. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and normal standard of food. Cheap and cheerful !!

Various curries eg lamb rogan josh/chicken tikka masala etc for £2.99.Includes rice, poppadoms and naan bread.Big portions and delicious.Can't go wrong with this deal!

Nice place to eat on a budget . good food nice staff. clean toilets. reasonably priced drinks what more could you need will be back and would recommend

I like it hereSometimes things take a while but all the staff are nice and they work very hard.Great value and good foodI will be back

I visited with my sister and mum this week, such a clean wetherspoons, good size portions and just great value! I do love nearly all the wetherspoons I've visited as they are such good value, but this one had good lighting in and do sometimes find them on the dark side.

Nice wee bite to eat in here cheap and cheerfull can't go wrong with this place service is pretty reasonable, good place to stop in buy for a quick pint aswell when out shopping.

visited this location about 2 years ago when in Falkirk enjoyed meal and service however when i visited 28th Nov at approx 18.00 hours the people opposite asked for equipment for the children to draw with to be told there were none. i ordered my meal and went back to table after finishing the pint looked at bar there were about 9 people waiting to be served still waiting in meal had another drink then a lot of meals appeared from the kitchen at once my chips were not very hot and my guests nan bread just crumbled and the rice had gone solid and lukewarm in one lump it would appear the orders were all waiting in the kitchen to be bought out in one go

Visited this establishment several times now and going from well run with good food t having enough of anything. Tables questionable. Some littered some clean. Food ok but just average. The drinks are cheap and mostly good although on the menu we went for the gins and found, on several visits that a gin advertised as being with fruit, there was no fruit, what. Second time we went recently and told fruit hadn't been cut we stood our ground and said we would wait for this to happen. Not enough bar staff and had big queues. Serving staff were really nice so reckon it's the tools they are issued with., or no tools.

Breakfast tasted freshly made and my partner had a lovely bacon roll. Coffee was very good with refills being free. Nice clean toilets were a bonus.

20 minutes at bar to get served, no steaks despite specials boards in place & no Cola - really !!! We used to go here regularly but I think this will be our last visit

Visited as a family today. I chose the veggie brunch-3 sausages, a handful of chips, spoonful of baked beans and an equally small spoonful,of scrambled egg (fried not offered), husband had the meat version which wasn't much better. Two daughters chose pasta pomodoro which quite simply was a small pile of pasta with a portion of canned tomatoes with two or three cherry tomatoes thrown on top. Younger daughter opted to have chicken with hers but shouldn't have bothered. Table top was sticky as was the menu when we eventually found one. Two staff members were arguing behind the bar as they dealt with us. Normally I'm a Wetherspoons fan but today we were badly let down and will not return!
