Kirkstyle Inn & Restaurant in Perth & Kinross

Fantastic pub with lovely staff. Very much enjoyed a 2night Itison voucher break, lovely big room with enormous bed all tastefully decorated and great en-suite. Ate in the pub both nights, great menu choice and food delicious. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend.

Pleasant and friendly local pub. Problem with food rectified a little better.But I’m not usually a person to complain. If I’m promised a hot plate along with hot food, I’m sure I could be swayed to recommend to friends and a return visit.

We stayed at Kirkstyle for an overnight stay. From arriving to leaving, we were treated very well by all staff, friendly and professional. Our room was spacious, plenty storage if staying for a week or more. Very cosy duvet which was welcome as the temperature had dropped. Small bar where we chatted with a couple of friendly locals, nice dining area where we had breakfast - continental, well presented and kept us going till after lunch. We had dinner in the lovely restaurant. Good selection for all courses, great value for money, and very tasty. This Inn is a fab wee gem in a lovely village.

I was not going to leave a review but after seeing the reply by the owner to “bonnyscotland” (headed Avoid Staying) I thought I should add that I also agree that you are taking a chance staying here. If Anita has anything to do with it you will be “bumped” or given an inferior room if she can get someone to stay longer or pay more. There are only 4 rooms and you could be lucky - but we will not take the chance and avoid in future. Also the rooms are right on the road with very poor noise insulation from the old windows. The lower two rooms have plastic sheeting over the windows which do provide privacy but no views - although with seats outside they are needed. However with staff and smokers constantly sitting there talking on their mobiles or chatting there is still plenty of noise.

Visited this Inn after discovering some of the local history whilst staying with a friend nearby. It was packed full of quirky items and it being a rugby World Cup day also had a fair number of local folk all in fine form. The waitress who served our food was Georgia and most helpful, the food was delicious so much so I booked a room to stay and explore more of Dunning the following week. Well worth going off the regular tarmac to visit and or stay here. Super Braw Aye

Lovely food.booked a table for lunch and glad we did as it was busy.lady was on her own and was doing a marvellous job although somewhat unfair as they were short staffed.

We had lunch her today we booked the day before. When we arrived we were shown to our table and told the Sunday roast had sold out. That was no problem as we had our table at 3pm. Looking at the menu we both picked a starter and a main plus drinks. Happy enough until the table next to us sat down and both ordered a Sunday roast!!!!!!! And they got it! I would be interested to see why it was not offered to us???? Very disappointing. However, the food we had was lovely. Pizza and fish and chips for mains. I would have happily left a tip but I paid the bill as it was. You cannot say the roast of the day is finished and then provide it to a table 20 minutes later.

Had a lovely time here. Went with my family and we were seated at a big comfy table next t the fire. The kids had the board games out. Or dog was allowed in and he lay under the table. Littlest was given a colouring in sheet. Te kids al ordered from the kids menu which included a generous serving of ice cream after. I had the chicken with black pudding and sticky toffee pudding and it was very tasty. The toilets are lovely and because the place is quaint and quirky it’s an interesting trip to the toilet. My littlest proudly told me she petted a sheep!

Great 2 night stay very nice accommodation very comfortable. Spacious and nice bathroom Inn quirky full of memorabilia with good beers and food with friendly and happy efficient staff. We will return to walk through Rumbling Bridge Gorge.

Any opportunity our family have, we take trips to Scotland, driving the 8 hours from Wales, knowing we will find a warm welcome everywhere we go. The hospitality of the Scots, together with spectacular scenery and great food make it well worth the journey. In all those years we have never felt unwelcome until we went into the Kirkstyle Inn, Dunning. It is obviously frequented by locals, a local place for local people. They were very busy and there were no tables available inside for dinner so we decided to go into their covered beer garden for drinks and pizza. There were occupied tables to our left and right, both having food, but when we went to order they told us they were not serving food outside. This obviously wasn’t true because everyone around us was eating, without a reservation. This upset the table next to us, so much so, that one of the diners went inside to fight our corner and ask why they wouldn’t serve us food. At that point some large lady came into the beer garden and said the food served outside had been a mistake but we could not have food. She was rude and belligerent. No apology for clearly only feeding favourite customers. We were definitely victimised here, for no reason I can think of. We didn’t make a fuss, just drank up and left. It was so nice of other customers to express their disappointment at how we were treated. I would never recommend this place to visitors. Go at your own risk! They clearly have a captive audience in a small village with no other pubs around. It’s sad they think as a result of their individuality they can choose to be so dismissive of the people who provide their living. My background is hospitality, hotel management and I can honestly say the customers are our valued bread and butter, never a hindrance. For info we are a couple in our 60s (one celebrating his 60th) adult daughter and fiancé. So disappointing and clearly not the norm for this wonderful part of the world.

Stayed here the other day. Fantastic stay, all staff were really friendly from the wee boy doing the pot washing to the owner. Lots of wee nukes and crannies to enjoy a quiet drink/chat. Had dinner and breakfast, both were excellent, a hearty breakfast too. Comfortable room and spotlessly clean. Friendly locals at the bar also. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

We went out as a family my son was treating us for our wedding anniversary lunch both men has starters and my wife was looking forward to steak pie .lt was extra full to bursting with long and very large pieces of leek far too many large onions no chopping skills used lots of carrots unfortunately very very little evidence of beef although gravy was pleasant complained to the waitress about being disappointing in quality she says pass comments to the chef still paid for returning a full plate of inedible nonsense shame on you as inaccurate food description lesson learned should have taken a picture

We visited on a Monday evening & glad we booked. The place was packed but we got served drinks then our food quite quickly considering how busy they were. We both had the large haddock & chips (fries ) & it was excellent. The batter was very light & the fish lovely, fresh & white. The girls & kitchen staff deserve to be mentioned as food was served on time. No hesitation in going back again when next in the area.

Lovely food in a very nice wee Inn. Fish and chips were amazing 👍Chips especially fab.Lovely place to eat /drink. Busy with folks coming in for lunch/drinks. Not too pricey,but very very nicey!

An English pub in a Scottish setting. If only there were more Cosy warm pub with good local cooking no pork belly on but I enjoyed the Kirkstyle pie (best on a cold day) - 6 of us. Tempura prawns excellent. Pork and fish very good. Too full for a desert! Friendly busy staff. An enjoyable evening though not cheap. Defo worth a visit early as well frequented! 4.5 out of 5

THE weirdest and worst hotel experience we have had. We didn’t stay. We travelled from Aberdeen to this hotel having purchased an itison voucher for it having seen it advertised. We thought it would be nice for a change of scenery and it got good...

We checked in at the pub and were taken to our room. The pub looked great and our room (no 4) was spacious with a large bathroom and roll top bath. Very nice indeed! We unpacked, had a cup of tea and then explored the...

We stayed here on Tuesday evening. Our room was beautiful. We ate outside and I had the best gluten free fish and chips I've ever had. We had the prawn cocktail to start which was excellent. My partner had the pork belly which he very...

Me and Gill went away for a weekend with some friends in Dunning. We popped in here for lunch and we all agreed the food and service was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, when I say “ we” that’s me Gill, Gary( a big shot in Horticulture this side...

Food, service and atmosphere were simply superb! Managed to book to a table at short notice. Our dog also thoroughly enjoyed herself!

The pub itself is so quirky and has a great vibe. The place was busy, and calm at the same time. The server definitely had good advice on beer and wine, also the food. I had the chicken burger, my husband had the beef burger....

There aren’t many options this far out in the sticks, however the Kirkstyle Inn doesn’t rest on it’s laurels and disappoint. There’s a cosy interior decorated with all the usual pub paraphernalia and a decent outside space with outside bar also. What’s special though is...

2 visits on this occasion, once for dinner and once for lunch. A beautiful pub/restaurant in the heart of this pretty little village. On street parking is available and usually nearby. I recommend you book as it is very popular with people from all around...

This was a fantastic overnight experience and one which we can't wait to repeat! Wonderful food, friendly, efficient staff , great atmosphere in a quaint village pub and our room was sumptuous! Thank you for a super visit!

We just love the staff, the food, the ambience. Nothing is too much trouble. It is so relaxing! Pet friendly too. Can't resist a visit or two when staying in the village.

Place was packed and the team very friendly and attentive. Food was just average. Not awful, just average. Maybe sit in the beer garden with friends - and some bar snacks.

Booked a table for 630 for our anniversary dinner ...starters served at 640...very nice indeed...mains came out at 710...nice enough... I had fish n chips and the wife had the Sulami Board(said nice but wou8have again) ...we then ordered dessert and more wine, we're told...

Wow what a hidden gem Olde worlde pub Great menu with plenty choice Lovely food Friendly Staff Reasonable prices

Delighted to be back there again. Anita and the rest of the staff are amazing and everyone is so friendly and makes you feel at home. Our dog Bruce loves it too, especially in the morning when he gets a sausage for breakfast. The accommodation...

Cosy old style inn. Food is excellent and friendly staff. Steak pie was great and even the small one is more than enough!! Sundaes are excellent too. Would recommend!!

I organised a group of 26 to visit the Kirkstyle Inn as part of stag party. We only had 1.5hr at here before we needed to move on. Because if this Jamie who is the manage and his staff did everything to make our visit...

Visited last Sunday for a Birthday meal and had a great time. Lovely atmosphere, great beers on tap and tasty food. Cameron and the staff looked after us all so well, Thank you.

We had heard good things about this country inn, and as we often stay in Auchterarder nearby, we decided to give it a try. We were looking forward to a good meal in a nice convivial atmosphere. Visited on a Friday evening. It was busy...

Ate here for the first time whilst staying in Dunning. What a brilliant, friendly village pub. Quirky and interesting interior, serving good traditional tasty food. They also have a pizza oven but a function was taking place and wasn’t available on the night. Great beer,...

This is my first visit to this wonderful establishment, and I would not hesitate to return and would certainly recommend to others. Dunning is a lovely historical and very Scottish village and the Kirkstyle Inn sits so well amongst the buildings. Fabulous interior, great service,...

Three of us booked for dinner early Oct. The place was fairly quiet, but a nice ambience. We only ordered main courses as we weren’t that hungry (wish we had been). I had the Pork Belly dish, something I’m very fond of, but frequently turns...

We were staying at whitemoss lodges so came here as recommended for dinner and was not disappointed!! Great vibe, love the decor and staff were friendly and helpful. Great pint T - thank you

Had to cancel booking on our anniversary as no suitable wheelchair access . Ruined the day as had to return to holiday home and order a takeout ☹️Very disappointing .

everything about our stay was fantastic, great room, great food, great staff, and quite possibly the best Roast Beef lunch I have ever eaten! Just wish i had a pub like the Kirk Style nearer to home.

Stayed here for one night as i was going to a wedding in the area. Was a lovely stay, the room was a good size and the bed was hugeeee, and so so comfy. There was a good size bath in the room too and...

This is a wonderful pub / restaurant. It’s a bit more upmarket than “pub grub”. The service was excellent & atmosphere likewise. We both went for the belly pork & it was Devine, the meat melted in your mouth. It came with spicey black pudding...

My husband and I visited the Kirkstyle Inn for a pub lunch. The atmosphere is lovely - a traditional pub with open fires. There is also a more formal (but still relaxed) dining area through the back. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. My...

I lovely pub, with excellent food. A great menu and fabulous quality food. Great selection of drinks and nice place to sit outdoors

Having read a previous review about the portion size of the fish & chips I ordered the large size, to be on the safe side!! The fish was beautiful , so white & fresh & the batter light & crispy. Size just right. Chips &...

There is no denying it is a lovely pub in the very heart of Scotland and I felt very fortunate to be going there for dinner with friends. I was not surprised by the somewhat limited menu, but also glad the other members of my...

The Kirkstyle came recommended from a few people in the area. Starters and desserts were lovely. My husband chose the lasagne but left a fair bit. It was dry and a bit burnt on the outside. Usually lasagne is quite moist. He definitely did not...

Great waitstaff. The food is well done, excellent whisky selection and a charming ambiance. Easy to get seated in the beer garden. Not so much indoors

Booked here for a Thursday evening, 6 people and the booking went smoothly. Arrived and were seated at a roomy table by the best member of hospitality staff I have had the pleasure of meeting in many years. Possibly called Jess but I apologise if...

We ordered fish and chips and steak pie. My fish and chips were lovely. My wife had the steak pie there were no roast veg unless the veg in the the pie was supposed to be them, also there was a big piece of fat...

Beef burger - raw. Sealed on the outside raw on the inside. Sorry "That's how we serve it here" Hope you enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great meal here with family including dogs Good choice of food and drinks including some craft beers Staff were very friendly and helpful as well as great with the dogs Nice little pub at the front which seemed busy with locals

Happened upon Dunning then happened upon the Kirkstyle Inn and returned each day of our visit to try morning coffee, lunch, dinner and finally a farewell drink. It's the kind of pub you wish you had within walking distance - friendly staff, great range of...

we are currently staying up at whitemoss lodge so we popped here for lunch about 5 min drive , and it was the best food we have had in a long time 10 out of 10 great service and all freshly made

Had a really good meal. Sadly it took 3 hours for 2 courses and coffee. Had we been in the Dunning Hotel the meal would have taken less than 2 hours. The place was full and the staff very apologetic. Is the kitchen now too...

Lovely pub/restaurant. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the snug pub area with a real fire. The lady working there was very friendly and made us welcome. We also enjoyed meeting the black Labrador! Food was absolutely delicious with big portions. Would really recommend.

Well, my wife visited here last week with a friend for a drink and absolutely loved it. We both visited today and as soon as I entered I was in total awe of the place. Its absolutely stunning inside with quirky decor, historical pictures, old...

Although we booked late we were wowed by the service, beautifully prepared food and friendly service for our family of eight. Thank you !

We visit this pub often during the year and enjoy its ambience with roaring fire and the real ales. We'd family up from London and they wanted to go back to the Kirkstyle. My brother (who was hosting us) wanted the 'Hand-dived king scallops' priced...

First time (sit-in) visit since current owners took over, though we used the take-away service regularly during lockdown. I would say the pub is more family orientated under the current owners and the warm cosy welcoming vibe is spot on. Service was great, the staff...

WOW.... first time at this fantastic pub, arrived a 1pm and left at 5.30, 3 course meal, food to die for, no rush plenty time between courses, very clean and beautiful decor, we've never had such a such fantastic time, one of most memorable days...

My husband and I ate here 2 nights in a row this week it was so good. A proper pub, relaxed, fires lit, good atmosphere, excellent service, very dog friendly and most of all EXCELLENT food. I rarely order steak out as I'm often disappointed...

We visited on a Sunday night , the band, pizza and wine were all fantastic. Only disappointment was the fact we booked two weeks in advance as we wanted a decent seat as the entertainment was in the beer garden. After arriving in plenty of...

Great to be back to have a family celebration for my Mother's birthday - a military operation getting everyone together but it was a great success. We had use of the private lounge upstairs as well the the private dining room Service was outstanding as...

A lovely historic Inn in the small village of Dunning a few miles outside Auchterarder and nearby Gleneagles and well worth the trip to dine. I enjoyed a super tender Deeside T-bone steak cooked to perfection for my preference of medium rare and served over...

One of the best pub restaurants I have ever been to. The food is excellent, well priced, with a great range of beers and wines. Friendly staff and even though they were really busy, the staff were very helpful. Its a dog friendly, country pub...

We dropped in for a quick meal while passing and we were so well looked after. Lovely bubbly welcome from the staff, who couldn’t do enough to look after us. Jess (shift manager) was training two new staff members and doing a super job. The...

We had heard good things and we were not disappointed. Arrived for lunch and greeted by a gorgeous black lab, much to our delight as we have black lab too. Our dog can be clumsy/excitable and they were not phased and made us feel relaxed....

Visited here twice during our weeks’ holiday. Food was great, the beef pie and venison burger being really very good. Service on our first visit was slow but competent, and given a note on the menu saying they were short staffed due to Covid we...

Yes! I love a good homely pub and I love good food. Kirkstyle was superb. We booked in advance and when we arrived the place was packed. Local beer and a good menu with lots of locally sourced options. Mrs S had fish and chips,...

We have visited Dunning over the years and always eat at the Kirkstyle, we stayed this weekend and ate at the Kirkstyle both nights for dinner. Food was really good, portions a bit big for me, but that’s not a complaint as the quality of...

My mum and Aunt needed a wee break and found a wee lodge to stay in, just on the outskirts of Dunning. They soon found the amazing food that the Kirkstyle serves, be it soup, sandwich or steak pie, all were tried with 10/10 grades....

I had to write a review of this place as we had a really great dinner here! The staff were very attentive, the food was excellent and there was a really nice warm friendly feeling about the place. The front of the bar also had...

I had dinner food was gorgeous. Waitor wore a mask hanging from one ear. Another had a mask around her neck. Third member didn't wear any. A group of diners freely walked around with no masks & one freely coughing. As soon as I ate...

First time back here in many years and had a wonderful lunch . Scallops and black pudding to start 😋 followed by whole poussin in a bourbon and barbecue sauce all fantastic . It’s amazing the quality of food and can’t wait until I’m back...

Visited with family. Warm welcome and friendly staff. Food quality was just ok, service could have been better, however I just couldn’t understand why the staff didn’t wear masks- not one of them. This is a legal requirement in Scotland and had been completely disregarded....

I went here for dinner while staying locally and the food was delicious. The staff and atmosphere were warm and friendly. I had scallops then the steak pie. Both were very tasty I couldn’t finish the pie was so filling the meat was so tender....

Super place, great surroundings, lots of ambience. Food was very good and the service super. Definitely a re-visit for us. And for the quality...cheap!

Visited this little gem whilst on our NC 500 get away and all I can say is absolutely fabulous meal and excellent service ...well done!!!

Had lunch at the Kirkstyle Inn on Father’s Day. Had expected a proper Sunday roast on the menu but this wasn’t an option, just the usual pie, fish & chips and burger etc. which was disappointing for a Sunday lunchtime and the occasion. Lovely atmosphere,...

Excellent dinner at a traditional village pub Good choice of food, tough decision but choose tempura prawns to start with chilli sauce (5 yummy juicy ones) Then proper scampi for me and Kirkstyle homemade steak pie with mash and mushy peas. Too full for dessert...

Phoned midweek and booked a table for 10 people on Sunday, 22nd at 6.00pm. When we arrived no one seemed to know about our booking. However we were told to head to the function room. We were then moved to the lounge for drinks. Our...

We ate here on two Friday nights in August with some family and friends, after a couple of previous visits my only comment were the main course plates were always a bit cool for me, both times we had a great meal, spring rolls were...

I took my husband here for his 42nd birthday and we had the most wonderful time - amazing staff, outstanding food, friendly atmosphere, great rooms and the best ‘wilderness dinner’ - like nothing else we have discovered. From our gin and tonic welcome to the...

We’ve been to the Kirkstyle many times over the years and have really enjoyed our meals there. So much so that we took visiting family there for a night out. All was fine until we got to dessert. They are all very expensive compared to...

We had lunch here with friends. The food was exceptionally good. The welcome and atmosphere were very relaxed compared to a lot of places at the moment were you are made to feel like a vector spreading disease. I had the fish and chips, it...

Originally booked for an anniversary dinner, we decided to stay the night to make a weekend of it – and so very glad that we did! What an experience. From first arriving at this traditional, village hotel, we were made to feel most welcome by...

Great fish and chips and burgers!! Came here with a friend and we also bought fresh flower and cake for takeaway! Friendly staff too!

Booked in advance but on arrival there had been a mix up in bookings. We were offered a table inside or a square and a round table put together although an empty table was in front of us. We were told it was for staying...

Our first night in Auchterarder and I'd booked a table here based on recommendations on Facebook. Lovely meal and good value, will go back on our last night too

This may seem an unlikely place to find such an excellent eatery but you’ve certainly found it! Classic Scottish /English pub in the country, friendly staff, an excellent bar, outside table and quite incredible food. Best steak I’ve had in an age! Tempura prawns were...

Very friendly welcome from the lady at the outside bar. It used to be fully outdoor but now they’ve enclosed it a bit. We went inside as it was a hot day and cooler inside. It’s undoubtedly a quirky, beautiful country pub. What a marvellous...

Cannot rate this highly enough. Great food , fantastic staff, fabulous location. If you haven't been, then you should go. Will definitely be back.

We cannot rate the Kirkstyle Inn enough! Got recommended it as we are on holiday, went one night and booked straight away for the next night! The food was amazing, the staff were the best, and all the locals are so friendly!! Archie, Megan, Josh...

What a way to end the day...dinner at The Kirkstyle! Fabulous food. Warm welcome. Immaculate. Friendly. Loads of choice. Great service. It's truly awesome to see this place thriving. Lots of hard work and investment from the owner but wow....you guys nailed it. Dunning is...

First time visiting The Kirkstyle Inn, heard great things about it and thought we would try it out as I live not too far away. Arrived as our table was being sorted, given a menu while we waited, great selection of food, right up my...

Having visited fro a quick drink the day before and seen the food we decided to return to sample it first hand! The welcome was warm and friendly, the locally brewed draught beer was the the best we’d had so far in this area of...

Very friendly staff and nice pub to sit in. Seemed very popular and we booked ahead. The food was fairly average and I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat there again.

Amazing meal in a nice pub. Staff were friendly & attentive. We were all well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was well presented, served piping hot. Lots of choice on the menu, pizza board & specials board. We each ordered something different...
