Coopers in Clackmannanshire

Absolutely shocking what they have done, cancelled 2 days before Xmas. It’s a disgrace, there’s no point in opening back up after this you are all the talk of the town no one will return to coopers after this shamble what a mess. Not even just that my friend had a baby shower a few weeks ago they had no heating on and the bar next door is covered in mould roofs falling apart no one should be in there for health and safety you can get shut down for having staff and customers walk through there.They must have not had heating on for a while every time I drive past on my way to work staff and customers are in jackets. They will be lucky if anyone returns after this not a good look on them what so ever. So sad because they owners have ran it too the ground nothing like this happened when worren owned it. DISGRACEFUL and SICK what are people meant to do for Christmas now

Booked table for Xmas day ( following what seemed to be improved service in November) had confirmation on 21st December after seeing a message on their Facebook page that they will not be opening for Xmas They have been closed for the last few days, phone number comes back as unrecognised, but their website is still taking bookings

Returned dish as sauce requested on side but dish served with sauce poured over food. Was then served raw chicken!! Very disappointed.

Visited on Friday with family for a high tea. Setting is spacious, really modern and clean. Customer service is first class, friendly and nothing is a problem. The high tea was delicious with plenty of tasty fresh sandwiches, scones and cakes. Very reasonably priced. Certainly recommend.

Five of us pitched for afternoon tea. The welcome and service was outstanding. The venue is clean, modern and comfortable. The pots of tea were replenished as required. The selection of sandwiches were great and the bread was so soft snd fresh. We also loved the selection of cakes and hot scones. Will definitely be our go to place when visiting Alloa.

1st visit for some time and it was excellent. We tried the high tea for two people and it was 1st class. More than enough choice and selection of sandwiches and other stuff. Would recommend this to everyone

Booked a table for 2 last minute and it wasn't an issue. Good welcome on arrival and put us to a table of our choice, again no issue. Ordered our drinks and meal, which was served in good time. I had a steak and it was cooked as asked for. It was a nice meal. My partners meal was a success too. Desert and coffee rounded it off. Overall a pleasant experience and the 2 staff we dealt with were both proffessional and friendly. Tbh we've been here a few times over last few year and we've never had any reason to complain. Well worth a visit.

Had the lunch menu. Food and service were excellent. Portion sizes were great as well. 2 courses for £10 is amazing value

A lovely, relaxed evening at Coopers last night. There were 10 of us in the group and both the main courses and desserts were given positive reviews. I had the salmon from the specials menu and it was delicious. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive (not too much!). I’d recommend.

Excellent service, food and atmosphere we were made to feel really special and nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful family staff would highly recommend can't praise Coopers highly enough 5 stars

Cannot fault the restaurant and new team this evening. We got in ordered our drinks as we got our menus and order our food as soon as the drinks arrived as we were on restricted time going to watch a play. They were happy to give us more time if we needed it though. We ordered a main off the standard menu and a main off the specials. Lots of choices that you would expect for a pub/restaurant menu and priced accordingly. They arrived quickly and we cleared our plates, it was lovely. Unfortunately, there were only 4 choices on the dessert menu which I would deem to be 4 very sweet choices so we passed on dessert, paid, and left. Personally, I have always had good experiences in Coopers, and this evening it was for us a quick pre-theatre meal - after previously being disappointed at Inglewood being overpriced for the standard of service and food. And Coopers didn't disappoint.

Clearly bought over recently. Staff very pleasant, restaurant itself is lovely and in the area should be busy but just isn’t. I phoned elsewhere at 3pm for Sunday dinner and it was fully booked all night. Here no issue getting a table. In 2hrs there was us and 2 other tables. Was actually encouraged to leave a review so doing so. My tomato and basil soup was pink. Was like the colour of a pakora sauce from a takeaway but in all honestly was relatively ok but full of milk. At least had flavour. My curry main was diabolical for a restaurant. Looked like an Asda micro curry, had as much chicken in it in the exact same tiny pieces and tasted as bland. Poppadom out a packet as was the naan. Genuinely laughable. Yes they asked if it was fine I kind of laughed and the older guy knew it wasn’t but I just went with it. I wouldn’t have reviewed but I was told to. My partner said hers was fine. Basically we’ve got a fine (which means at best average) and terrible. This restaurant is in a good location, the restaurant is very fresh itself, has a great outdoor seating area and changes hands too frequently. Alloa has one decent pub food restaurant that clearly thrives, it shouldn’t be difficult to have another. The area is plenty big enough.

Seven of the family had a Sunday evening meal at Coopers. The service was very friendly and relaxed. The food was delicious and we would certainly come again. Well done.

We booked a table for 28/9/22 4:30pm. On arrival restaurant was in darkness. Lovely waiter advised us that they have a mid day break between 3-5pm. Their app hadn’t taken this into account allowing me to book a 4:30pm slot. Instead of turning us away. The restaurant was opened and we had place to ourselves. Quick delicious food served by well mannered and polite staff. Can’t recommend enough. Especially since the booking was for my mums birthday - we were happy they accommodated us.

Have been for a couple of evening meals here and always been good. Today we tried the new lunch menu, great value for money 2 course for £10 or 3 for £14. There was a lot of choice also, it was almost impossible to decide. Food is always freshly prepared, nicely presented and tastes great. (Would double the portion of mac n cheese, but that's only because its so good!) The staff are always very chatty and welcoming when we've been. Will definitely be back.

Just had a lovely lunch in Coopers restaurant. First time here and hopefully will revisit. Tempted by the deal advertised as we drove past - " two course lunch for £10". lots of choice for starters (about 10) and mains (about 12 or so). I...

We had a lunch in Coopers which we very much enjoyed. Food was great, beautifully presented and staff very friendly. Affordable, would recommend to give this place a try.

We visited this evening celebrating our grandparents 60th wedding anniversary… I’m not one to often leave a review (I’m a chef & have also been a waitress) my standards are probably higher than most! But I cannot fault one single thing. The staff…….The staff were...

Visited on a Saturday night. Quiet, but unsure why. The staff were extremely helpful and nice. The food selection, even though small is sufficient. The quality of food was very good. The staff suggested what was best that day, and when the food arrived the...

Went for a family birthday. Booked well in advance but shoved to a rubbish table at the front. Felt we were on display to everyone passing. Food was mediocre, service not too great and the drinks well overpriced. Didn’t stay for dessert as saw the...

Went to Coopers as we pass it regularly and it looked nice! Been years ago and I thought it was alright. This time, the food was awful. Ordered a chicken burger which was okay, chips were tasteless and quite firm (like oven chips at home...

Lovely place, nice decor and atmosphere Staff lovely but very slow We were informed the gluten free fryer was broken but the chef offered to make a Sunday roast type meal. This was a chicken breast, carrots, potatoes and the gravy was basically a stock...

God help them when this place is busy as service is bad. Slow, mixed up orders, not offered condiments and length of time to pay bill

Visited today 4/11/21 with my husband for lunch. Restaurant was not busy and had a lengthy wait before any food served. Starter was received 50 minutes after order was taken and main about 30 minutes after that. Had to ask more than once for food...

Went to Coopers tonight for my grandson’s 12th birthday tea . We were seated and then waited 10mins for someone to take our orders. Then waited 45 mins for our food to arrive! My wife ordered steak pie with baby potatoes it came with chips,so...

Put simply a complete shambles I’m afraid to say. We booked a table for 5 for lunch today. Arrived ten minutes early, greeted and shown to our seat which was fine. After placing our food order we waited 50 minutes for starters to arrive. When...

Lovely 'sisters lunch'. Excellent food and service. 2 for £10 was great value. Wee cocktail to finish off. We will be back.

Terrible. Once we received our meal everything went down hill!! Kids hot dog was un edible, it was a spicy sausage that even I thought was too spicy. My other daughters side did not arrive and she had to go searching for a staff member...

Was disappointed when handed menu as was nothing like the online menu. Basically had the choice of burgers or hot sandwiches. Starter I had nachos which were absolutely fine, no issues and was a huge portion. Main course was Philly Cheesesteak sandwich which tasted lovely...

Excellent meal at Coopers. Food was hot and the service was first class. The waiters were very attentive and friendly.

Amazing place! Great menu! Staff/management were really friendly and accommodating. The service was excellent. Food was topnotch definitely will be back and highly recommend! Mocktails were just something else 😋

Brilliant friendly staff. There was a real buzz around the restaurant which made for a fantastic experience. Would recommend this place to absolutely anyone!

Change of management/staff and it shows in the quality and variety of food offered. Not for the better. Also, as noted by other reviewers customers were observed to be wandering around with no masks on and were not challenged by staff. Little wonder the wee...

We were two friends visiting Alloa over a long weekend. On Sunday - marvellous weather - we walked into town and found practically nothing open. About 3pm we were looking for a couple of post-lunch glasses of wine and popped into a High Street hotel...

Been a few times great food would recommend the chicken fagitas, staff all friendly couldn’t do more for you, great atmosphere. Will be back soon. X

Had a lovely meal here tonight. The special was such good value for money. I've paid twice this much for nothing like this quality. The chef's special stepped up a gear to restaurant quality. I would definitely recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing food, however service lacking. Went in for a meal on a saturday evening, and the food was amazing. 10/10 for the food alone. However the service really let it down. It appeared that none of the waitresses wanted to be there, and looked like...

We visited here for the first time ever on September 8th 2020 for dinner. We were sat at a very busy part of the restaurant and with a very wobbly table. When our food arrived we were thoroughly embarrassed as our drinks fell and smashed...

The food was great, but service was slow and the staff only took notice of us when delivering food. After we finished our mains we asked for 2 minutes to decide on deserts. After 20 minutes of waiting for our server to come back or...

lunch trip with friends had steak pie hot and plentiful of meat and chips meal was good decor was lovely price was very good its really nice experience

Some time ago I left a very poor review for Coopers. To balance that I have posted this new review after visiting the restaurant a few times in the last couple of months. Food and service could not be faulted and it feels like the...

Friends had steak pie with plenty of meat inside ,I had the fish in batter. sad to say there were more batter than fish ,but the cheese cake made up for it ,lovely staff and pleasant surroundings

We’d been back since our first visit last year but we were back for lunches and found it to be as good as eating here in the evening. This was our first lunch out since restaurants were allowed to open. We had booked a table...

My wife and i visited Coopers recently and they have taken all the necessary precautions to ensure customers and staff are protected as much as possible. Good selection of food from the main menu and specials menu, my wife had small nachos to start which...

Really disappointing. After viewing the menu online & being Impressed with previous reputation. A change to menu appeared to be okay. However what was offered did not fulfill expectations. Shop bought & frozen foods being passed off as quality restaurant cooking. The gin infused salmon...

I visited Coopers when passing through Alloa on a cold, dreich, wet February day. I arrived chilled and miserable to find a light, airy, fresh and modern restaurant, and a warm friendly welcome. The establishment is spotlessly clean: fastidious. Always a good sign. The staff...

First visit for some time and we were all very pleasantly surprised. A good selection on the fixed price menu and additional joice if required. Good value for money at £10.95 for 2 courses. The staff were all very friendly and professional. The food was...

Food, service and staff were great. I’d definitely recommend it for Christmas dinner. The dessert/cheese especially was amazing! Thank you!

We hadn’t been to Coopers before but had been invited to join friends for an evening meal and this meant there would be eight of us so it would be interesting to see how we would be seated. We needn’t have worried though, we were...

9 of us visited here for family dinner and let just say we left extremely disappointed!! Rude waiting staff,steak pie the pastry wasnt even puffy at all very flat and covered in salt the macaroni was returned because was bland tasted like milk the next...

Great little place to eat and drink with a variety of beers, wines and cocktails. The prices are ideal for the quality of food and services as it's more then your typical pub grub.

20 of us recently had a lovely meal in Bar 23 to mark my retirement. Belinda was very helpful organising it and everyone enjoyed the meal. Only comments were that it was a bit pricey for drinks so we ended up moving on to another...

Decided to try this place for lunch as a few friends had mentioned it. Well worth the visit, the slow cooked steak pie was amazing. Not a big menu but we'll thought out choices. Nice decor and although on a busy road no no use...

Belinda, our waitress, was lovely and could not have been more attentive! Cocktails were delicious. We had Haggis Bon Bons and Tempura Shrimp to start followed by the Chicken Burger and a Thai Green Curry. Could not fault any. Only issue we had was that...

We visited Coopers for after work drinks on a Friday evening. We sat outside as it was a lovely sunny afternoon. We waited 10 minutes at the bar before going through to the restaurant to order cocktails. We did the same for our second drink...

Went for afternoon tea it was disgraceful for the price tiny cakes and sandwiches weren’t offered top ups on our tea and charged extra for a soft drink definitely won’t be back

We had a family get together in the private function room at Coopers. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The room was perfect cor what we needed. We can't thank you enough for taking such good care of us.

First time we have visited and we really enjoyed it. Food was very nice (my starter was a bit on small side). Place was clean and quite busy . Main course was really tasty (I had fish) dessert, while nice was also too small or...
