Fletcher’s in Stirling

Great, family run hotel. Ideally situated - 5 minutes from shops, bars etc. Also handy for bus and train station. We stayed overnight, car park to rear is free to clients, just need to register at reception. Our room was spacious and bright, had everything we needed. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Would highly recommend.

From the minute we walked through the door, we where made extremely welcome, the hosts for the evening stuart and john. Very pleasant stuart explained everything In detail at check in and introduced john. We then made a reservation for the restaurants which was the right decision, the food was excellent cooked to perfection. Recommendations where spot on.. compliments to the chef.. On retiring to our room, clean , spacious, smells lovely , yes there are a few chips i the paintwork but given that people don't care when in a hotel room that's to be expanded.. this is a hotel & restaurant i will definitely not hesitate to come back to.. wel done guys

Firstly, the customer experience we had through Stuart and John (sorry if names are spelled wrong) was fantastic. So friendly, attentive and helpful. A lovely welcome and conversation. Bubbly characters. We ate in the restaurant and the food was delicious. And a great recommendation from the guys for my food in particular being very indecisive!! The room was lovely too and well looked after! Will definitely be back - thanks guys x

A lovely meal on a busy Saturday afternoon . Food was lovely with a good selection on the menu. Our server Celine was very attentive.

Great food great staff great service lovely wine selection !!! Celine, Stuart and Jaime my couldn’t do enough to make you welcome would highly recommend Though only one down side they would share one of their amazing aprons with me ! I will be back again for a second. Attempt at getting one 🤣🤣🤣

1. Staff: are all really friendly, helpful and considerate and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome and valued. 2. Accommodation: our room was clean, comfortable and had all the services and facilities needed for a short break. Tiny niggle that we both found the pillows a bit unforgiving, but others might find them ok. Food and drinks: the restaurant was comfortable but still not too noisy even when fairly busy. Food is 'Scottish inspired' but with lots of variety, and breakfast was excellent. Drinks range is good and, I guess, around the price-point you'd expect in a city hotel. All in, Fletcher's provides a really good welcoming atmosphere for guests.

This has just gotta be my favourite place for an overnight +, spotless, staff are what great staff are made off, NOW LETS RAVE ABOUT THE FOOD, IT WAS SIMPLY THE BEST FOOD I HAVE TASTED SINCE I MASTERED BEENS ON TOAST, TONGUE TINGLING, PHENOMENAL COOKING, PHENOMENAL SERVICE AND THE PRESENTATION WAS A MOMENT OF OMG !!!!,

Afternoon tea was just the right amount of food. Scones were very tasty and the service was good considering it was very busy.

Wow!! Visited today for an afternoon tea which was a gift from two of my wife's colleagues' on her recent retirement. From the minute we entered, the two staff members (two brilliant males) provided amazing service. Perfect friendly, professional, humorous, caring attitudes which, when complimented by the fantastic food and drinks, made this experience above and beyond any expectations. The staff members are a credit to this business and we will definitely be back for a lunch or dinner very soon as a result. Thanks again.

Absolutely delicious afternoon tea here , food was great especially the wee sausage rolls, staff were pleasant and attentive, atmosphere was nice and calming

Nice dices, good taste friendly personnel!

Wonderfully inviting restaurant, very attentive staff and exquisite food. Best food in stirling

We enjoyed a short break here... the en suite room was huge, clean, and had everything that we would expect. Highly rate it, and our hosts were extremely helpful, chatty and a great source of local information to help make our stay even more memorable 😀

Service was great, ambience and location was splendid but won't say that about the food.

Fantastic! Staff are a credit to this Hotel, from arrival you feel nothing is too much trouble for the team. Check in was simple and the room was spacious, spotless and all we needed for our stay. The complimentary milk tray was a welcome treat. Breakfast was perfect, again we were looked after by staff and when our breakfast arrived, it is very obvious the hotel used quality ingredients. I loved having a proper pot of tea at breakfast, something some hotels move away from and having this topped up was no problem to the staff member. The hotel is a few minutes walk from the centre and directly across the road from the hotel you will find a puregym if your looking for a fitness suite. An overall great stay and look forward to returning.

I had a business lunch here with a client who had recommended it. We all had fish and chips and soft drinks. The fish batter was a bit soggy and the chips underdone for my liking, but it was passable. The fish itself was delicious. It's a decent location in Stirling with a free car park behind the building.

Fletcher's served up one of the best dinners we had in our whole trip. Highly recommend the venison steak. There are plenty of gluten free options and the staff are extremely helpful. Special mention to Stuart and John, they were incredible. Service with a smile, very efficient and gave us some great recommendations for things to do in Stirling.

My wife and me had lovely dinner here (valentine's night),food was great,,service was first class and the surroundings was lovely as well,, definitely be back soon.

We came to Stirling on a little bus trip from Aberdeen, and chose Fletcher's to stay at. We had a very lovely time. The host and staff were all very friendly, the room was well appointed and clean, and we had booked for dinner which was awesome. Good vegan and vegetarian choices were available and allergies catered for with no fuss. The dining room is very well decorated and cosy, we had desserts, cocktails and a dram and sat for a few hours and it was lovely. In the morning we had an excellent vegetarian cooked brekkie, and the tea was served in the most beautiful manner. Would recommend this restaurant and hotel to anyone.

The restaurant is a must, really well designed to be cosy but looks really spacious with a clever use of mirrors and decorations. The food is second to non. Definitely recommend the Balmoral chicken and the venison steak. They say it's the people that make the space and fletchers is a testament to that. Stewart and John were fantastic, and turned a good stay into a great stay. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay or dine in Stirling.

Went for my friends 50th birthday, was a fantastic meal and service was second to none. John and Stuart were faultless start to finish and both provided personal attention, made conversation and great customer service. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND. thank you

Superb stay, food and service first class. No complaints at all.

Just returned from Fletchers after a couple of days away. Great staff, good food and rooms and parking a bonus. Looking forward to a return visit.

Great menu, reasonable prices, superb quality food. If you are near this place it is well worth a visit. Staff were excellent.

Sourdough bread was 100% delicious! Don’t think I’ve had better! On a par with San Francisco Boudin bakery. Fabulous. Enjoyed the featherblade beef tonight. Chef knows what’s what! Honestly, throughly enjoyed my meal!

A well situated restaurant with its own parking which is a great bonus. Extensive menu with dishes freshly cooked. Extremely good value, especially the 2 or 3 course meals. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the staff were fantastic. All in all, a superb restaurant and well recommended.

Extremely poor service and food for our group Christmas dinner. Food: some tiny portions, fish was not the "cod' on the menu but some tasteless mushy substitute, scallops were tiny, cold desserts that should have been hot. Had to chase food and drinks over and over again. Won't be back

A friend and I had dinner at their restaurant. It was disappointing. Not worth what we paid for. My chicken was pink (was explained after I complained that it was the marinade it sat in) but was extremely off-putting. My friends Pizza was mediocre and the service was extremely slow despite the restaurant being half empty.

Went here for lunch. The food was delicious. The blade of beef was exceptional. The staff were very friendly and helpful

I went to the restaurant on the 17/11/24 to celebrate a 50th birthday of a dear friend. The staff were friendly, the food was good, we weren't hurried in any way while being attentive to any needs we had. Overall a very good experience, until a couple of weeks later when I got a parking notice from Civil Enforcement, attempting to charge me more than the cost of the meal for not complying with the regulations for the car park. I provided the company with the reservation, did not contest that I was parked there but provided proof that I was a legitimate customer and affirmed that I had entered my registration on their tablet near the front door. They dropped the "fine" to £20, which I still refuse to pay and went through a formal complaint procedure with POPLA. Their response to all the evidence I could muster to back up this insanity, was that, according to their records, a car with the first half of my registration but different second half of the registration was entered onto their systems, therefore I had incorrectly gone through their processes which, according to them, is worth £100 of my money. No proof that I actually did this because, as we all know, computer systems are infallible and there is no way the error could have come from their systems. When Fletchers give Civil Enforcement the heave-ho and use a company who don't hound legitimate customers, I'd recommend this for a meal but park at your peril...

Soup cold, main dish ok £38 per head for below average food .

A very poor experience in terms of food quality and service. It certainly didn't live up to it's claim of "equisite dining"...where we would.."Indulge in a culinary journey".(unless the destination was mediocrity). We were there as a group of about 14 in a private room for the xmas menu and we had eaten here the previous year also, when the food was OK, but not great. This year it was much poorer. The scallops were absolutely tiny! The cod was NOT cod, not sure what it was but as someone who has worked in the UK fish industry for many years, it was most definitely not cod. The same happened last year when it was a bass or bream fillet (also called "cod" on the menu) but was quite tasty so I didn't mind so much then. This time it was a fish with quite soft and tasteless flesh. We had to chase some drinks orders several times as they didn't appear, sometimes eventually turning up after about 20 minutes. The sticky toffee pudding was on freezing cold plates, which made the sauce cold and sponge barely warm...just about room temperature. One sticky toffee pudding that was ordered with vegan ice cream didn't appear until we had chased it a couple if times and everyone else had finished. We won't be back next year. Perhaps we should have complained more at the time, but it's supposed to be a fun time, not one when as well as chasing food and drinks, we have to moan about everything and kill the atmosphere.

As you walk in the door, you are instantly met, greeted with a smile and to those who drive, they make sure that you register your car for the free parking. The setting is unbelievable and well decorated. Tables are clean, there's enough space to move around, everything you need is readily available and staff are most helpful if there is something you need. The wide range of courses and meals, offers a little something for everyone and we had no complaints regarding anything throughout our visit at Fletcher's. The atmosphere was perfect for lunch, everyone had a great time and whether you're going out as a business or as a festive-family treat, you are well looked after. I could not rate Fletcher's highly enough but would definitely recommend for anyone curious. 5/5!

Stayed overnight with a friend. Great value for money, really friendly staff, very comfortable bed and room great. Had the full Scottish Breakfast and it was lovely. Great location and will definitely return and try the restuarant for lunch or dinner

Popped in for some Sunday lunch after a walk! Dog friendly table in the bar area for our furry friends. Service was great, staff were very friendly. Food was good! Would return.

just now We had booked our Christmas meal at fletchers I was traveling through from Glasgow so decided to look at booking a room All I wanted was a place to rest my head after hopefully a great Christmas night out I got so much more From check in to check out service was amazing . Room was so much more than I was expecting . Fletchers have thought of everything with all the small quality details adding to a fantastic stay … I would absolutely recommend with great location and parking …. Keeping doing what you are doing an absolute Gem and will absolutely be back Thank you for looking after me ! X

We had booked here for a staff / Christmas night out. We had chosen our starter, main and desert, beforehand. Arrived a few mins early, table not quite ready. Few mins wait. Starters arrived very quickly, mains took about an hour, x mas dinner very small portions, 3x potatoes, very little gravy. Then a wait for dessert, very dry sticky toffee pudding. I had high expectations at £38 a head ( there was x9 of us). I do not recommend, Will not be back

December 2024: We didnt stay over so unable to rate the rooms. No star rating available for food but I would rate this visit 4 stars. Only 3 stars overall due to, in my opinion, food wastage caused by pre payment. Came for Xmas night with work colleagues at 6pm. Parking is good, just remember to give your reg number at reception. I was greeted by a lovely member of staff. We were given a room to ourselves which was lovely however it was very cold. They said they turned the aircon off but a few of us were still very cold. There were a couple of 0% drinks not available that we asked for however we weren't given a drinks menu so opted for suggested alternative or water. We had to pre order and pre pay for our food at £38 a head. Two of our party didn't attend and we were told as it had been paid for, they would bring their food to the table. Surely a better idea may have been to put a donation to charity or a food bank. Food was lovely. I had melon for starters which was delicious. Others had soup, goats cheese tart. For mains I had beef bourguignon served with veg and mash. This was delicious. Others had traditional turkey dinner, fish, risotto, beef burger, turkey burger. I had 'sticky toffee pudding' for dessert. Unfortunately this tasted like a plain ginger cake and there were no dates in the sponge leaving it very dry. It was served with a lovely toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream and half a sour strawberry.

A great restaurant with a good choice of excellent food

Was visiting Stirling and decided to go here for lunch based on the good reviews they had. Can honestly say I have never been more disappointed in a restaurant before. We ordered off the market menu (2 courses for £16.95 with a £3 supplement for steak). I am gluten free and there was limited starter options for me and none that I liked as I am quite a fussy eater therefore I just wanted a main but was told i could not do this, therefore I just ordered a starter anyway. No one came over at all throughout the whole meal to check if our food was okay (despite the fact that my starter had not been touched). Ordered steak frites for main and the steak was very poor quality. Ordered my medium and came barely cooked, when i complained and sent it back it came out completely over cooked and the chips had gone cold from sitting on the plate. Despite the fact we had sent our meal back the waiters still did not even come past to ask if it was okay. The steak was awful quality - just fatty and chewy and had no taste. When asked for the bill we were told they had taken discount off the food but no apology was made. Bad food and even worse customer service definitely won't be back.

Came here for dinner, it was absolutely delicious would definitely recommend. We had the scotch egg and Cullen skink for starters, and then the haggis, neeps and tatties, and the balmoral chicken for main. Would recommend all of these dishes! The service was also brilliant. Would eat here again.

Great friendly environment with good service and excellent food and comfortable bedrooms highly recommend 👌

A little gem of a place, great room, fantastic food & the nicest friendliest staff, so relaxing & 3 mins walk to town centre. We will definitely return & would highly recommend. Karen

Nice staff. Pretty restaurant and food was good. I thought there would be more breakfast choices but was good. Room left a lot to be desired. Felt empty (repaired holes on wall, no wall decor at all...go opportunity to cover up repairs), bathroom was a little icky (mold around tub/shower hairs in tub) and worse for wear (dated and chipped/worn old furniture, stains on floor and sheets) Hardest bed I've ever slept on. Was ok for 100£ a night but wouldn't stay there again.

We have just been for dinner/late lunch food not cooked chicken and chips for child half cooked. I have ordered pasta with chicken and never eat a chicken that was that old that it was bron in colour when I advised waitress she said she will speak to manager at the end that have taken £2 off my bill no apology from manager will not be back. Food was always great but not rhis time. Will not be back as horrible customer service and disgusting food 😑

Great place, food was adequate however the atmosphere was a little loud.

Been a few times for food, lunch and dinner. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Food has always been lovely.

I want to make special mention of Stuart (from the restaurant) who made us feel so at home - he really looked after us and was so kind and thoughtful in helping with our boys and ensuring we had a nice dining experience at Fletchers. Actually, all of the staff at Fletchers were so accommodating - outstanding service all round - highly recommend.

Very clean, spacious room, very friendly staff. Very decent restaurant in all respects, I highly recommend

We were extremely impressed with Fletcher's. It was walking distance from the train station. Beautiful building. Rooms were big, clean, comfortable bed, amenities were good and breakfast was included. Their restaurant was fabulous. We made dinner reservations and since we had a room, they gave us a prime table. The service was outstanding and the meal delicious! We were on a 33 day UK trip and this place was one of the best accomodations. The room was very affordable as well. Highly recommend!

First visit, but I'll definitely be going back

Had lunch with some friends. A really friendly attentive staff. Good menu choices. Scallop starter was delicious. Lovely delicious mains. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon Great place for lunch can't wait to try dinner

Das Frühstück können wir hier absolut empfehlen. Man hat einige gute Optionen, die Qualität und der Preis stimmt. Dazu kommt ein freundliches Servicepersonal. Wir konnten auf dem kostenlosen Parkplatz des Hotels/Restaurants unser Auto stehen lassen, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt zu erkunden.

The staff were very friendly. My food wasn’t anything special though - average at best. The pasta was either very over cooked, or just cheap, as it was falling apart on the fork. Food didn’t take too long to come. Cocktail was nice. Unfortunately would not return as the food wasn’t the best.

Paige was our server for the evening and she was polite, friendly and so incredibly helpful. The food and atmosphere were excellent! If you go you must get the venison. Amazing selection of drinks! I will be back and I suggest you go as well.

We booked for an over night, and also booked dinner in the restaurant. The food was excellent at both dinner and breakfast. I particularly enjoyed my Venison dish at dinner. The service from all the staff was excellent and the room very comfortable. Only one slight down side is that some of the pubic areas as you enter via the back door are a bit tired and could do with a lick of paint.

WiFi is not usable - too many breaks in service. Noisy location. Guest bed awful - the mattress is not fit for purpose. Helpful staff. Decent food.

The staff are welcoming, dinner was good - our server was pleasant and the food tasty. Our experience with the room was less good. We had asked for a twin room but were given a double bed and a sofa bed. The sofa bed was like sleeping on coals. Awful! WiFi was very patchy and not reliable.

Did not stay at Fletchers, but the food was exceptional. Scallops were PERFECT! both my wife and I enjoyed our dinners here more than anywhere else we had eaten in Scotland, and compared to prices elsewhere I thought this was a great value.

Only went to the restaurant but atmosphere, food, staff, and cleanliness were all great. Definitely recommend :)

Fantastic hotel and restaurant right in the heart of Stirling. The room was very good, spotlessly clean, large with a bath and shower. Good bed, excellent service. What's not to like?!

Great service, very friendly staff. Food was delicious. We were not rushed at all and ended up having 3 courses. Will be back

Arrived in Stirling in the evening, ravenous, and ordered the Cullen Skunk, followed by the venison. Good food, but if I'm being picky, the dauphinoise potatoes could have been a little softer and creamier. The Cullen Skunk was delicious and the venison was a succulent, tender and gamey. Service was delightful, welcoming and unhurried, Slightly let down by TV on the wall. Will visit again!

I was at Fletchers for an afternoon tea, given to me from a friend. It was absolutely delicious, everything freshly made. The staff were so professional and friendly. The Atmosphere was lovely and we both enjoyed it so much. I would totally recommend Fletchers to anyone looking for a meal or afternoon tea .

Excellent we were a large group. Very good food and really friendly service. Many thanks

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining here recently for an afternoon tea for two - had an amazing time. Great location - very handy for nearby parking. The restaurant is a wonderful relaxing environment - I could’ve sat there all afternoon if I could’ve got away with it! The staff were lovely, very helpful, brilliant service. Top marks very well deserved! 😊

Great food and friendly service.

Went for brunch, firstly food was heavenly!! I had the Halloumi stack and my partner having the chicken and waffles. Must say he is a very picky eater and everything was prefect and well accommodated. Service was great. Visited a few times and always look out for Pauline as she is so helpful and so bubbly! Overall brilliant 🤩

We had the Sunday lunch. It was just okay, nothing special. The beef was a bit fatty and chewy. Definitely had better for the price. Wouldn't go back for it.

My husband and I always make a point of visiting Fletchers whenever we are in Stirling. We booked a table online which is advisable as it is usually very busy especially on a Saturday night when we visited. Food and service were faultless and we are never disappointed. Keep up the good work we will hopefully return soon!

Our meal was amazing, and our server, Georgia, was fantastic! She was warm and friendly and attentive to our needs, It is clear she understands customer service and made our overall dinner experience a pleasure, Our group is more than happy to give her the highest recommendation and wish her the very best,

My friend and I went for brunch and it was delicious. Staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. We will certainly return. This is the first time I have had brunch, I have had lunch and dinner which are also delicious. Will be back soon!!

The food was slightly above average, but the service was excellent.

We were a party of 6 for a 21st lunch. Meal was ok, nothing special. Had to send back luke warm soup. The venison was dry and tough, the gravy congealed as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while, service was very slow. The staff were friendly. Disappointing.

We stopped here for the restaurant. It was not busy so were seated without a reservation. Service was very good and friendly. You can park in the lot and they will note your license plate to keep from needing to pay. The menu had a good variety, and kid options were available. Husband got poached eggs and loved them. Chicken burger was pretty good. Would definitely recommend a stop here for lunch!

You choose, you lose (because of the many great options of the menu you inevitably miss out on), but we were very satisfied with the choices we made. I especially recommend the Katsu Chicken Curry. We arrived too early for pur reservation, but they quickly made a table ready for us anyway. Very kind staff, lovely experience, and also a great playlist during dinner 😊

Excellent food, amazing kids area, great staff

Good size room very clean and good shower would stay here again if in the area

Had high tea followed by cocktails absolutely brilliant

Had fish and chips at the restaurant. Not bad but not the best, fish ok, chips too dry/hard. Service was good. Place could benefit from an update (get red of plastic plants/flowers) and some air conditioning.

Varied menu, good food, a bit slow to the table but overall good

Very nice restaurant and attentive and polite service. The food was tasty, but the prices were slightly above average, but nothing scary and worth it. The only negative comment would be regarding the carpet on the floor, which is not recommended for a place that serves meals. It's worth a visit.

This is a review for the restaurant. We had the chateaubriand for two. While the steak was great, the things that came with it were not up to mark and sort of ruined the good steak. The chips tasted like reconstituted potatoes, and the steak sauces were tasteless, and you had to pay extra for the steak sauces! The 'chive and truffle sauce' tasted just like melted butter diluted with water; the peppercorn sauce wasn't any good either, and very thin. Service was good when they came around, but I had to get out of my seat to look for a server to get me ketchup and mayonnaise so that I could make the chips more palatable. And there was no one around even at the bar. I had to walk around the restaurant to find anyone, and it wasn't even that busy. I was frank and told the waiter the steak was very good but the chips were average and the sauces were bad. Not a bad experience, but not worth what was paid for.

Enjoyed my time here. Restaurant food was great and served was attentive. Would definitely come back.

Fantastic meal served by lovely staff. We arrived as a walk-in on an exceptionally busy Sunday evening. We had to book and come back in an hour, but nothing was too much trouble. Food was beautifully cooked and tasted delicious. Your staff are a real credit to you. Thank you.

The food was good but too expensive for what was served. The staff was very friendly and nice.

Super friendly staff, very tasty food!

I thought we were mad going from Edinburgh for an afternoon tea. Had a lovely day out but Fletchers was first class staff couldn’t be more attentive and the food was amazing. Would do it again.

A lovely ladies Lunch Thank You.

Had lovely lunch Excellent menu Great service

Amazing service, super friendly staff (I had the pleasure of meeting Neil and Jamie, who were both superstars!) The burger and chicken lover parfait were particularly tasty! Would highly recommend if you happen to be in Stirling!

Never stayed here. Always visit restaurant when in Stirling. Until now.

Birthday treat from my daughter and partner excellent meal and beers

10 of us went there for lunch today for the first time. I found it a very enjoyable meal as I think did the rest of the group. Easy access for me from Stirling railway station.

Food and service are great. Very modern food with clean flavors

Fantastic as always. In for a birthday meal and service excellent. Really appreciated the patience staff have with kids, the kids menu is excellent such a treat to have a good quality kids menu. Wide range of options for vegans and meat eaters alike! All staff fantastic.

Here for dinner with family, food was lovely, dining room is really nice and the staff were very friendly.

My sister and I ate here yesterday. We booked in advance which we recommend as it's a busy place and you wouldn't want to be disappointed. We received a warm welcome and felt at home straight away. The food was excellent and service was fast too. We loved the ambience and would recommend it to anyone.

Had dinner here with my partner. Staff were fantastic. Perfect level of attentiveness. The food was good, and atmosphere pleasant. Would definitely recommend.
