Munchy's in Stirling

I am coeliac and when I declared this I was so well catered for, instantly the waitress went through to the chef and let them know to put the gluten free fryer on, I was made aware of no cross contamination without having to ask, my cutlery was further cleaned for extra measures, I have never felt so comfortable coming into somewhere as usually I have a lot of anxiety around the situation

Such friendly and caring staff, who took great precaution for my friend with coeliac. Very welcoming and very friendly, loads of choice on the menu.

Such a lovely place for food, staff are very friendly, welcoming and accommodating to our friend with Celiac, definitely recommend this place , lots of different options on the menu

Looked unimpressive but we were hungry and reviews promised a good breakfast. Initially disappointing as there were no poached eggs on the menu but they made them for us as a special favour and they were excellent. The decor is very functional and I was freezing throughout but the breakfast was exceptional and the coffee lovely, both warming me up enough to enjoy both. My observation that it would be lovely if they were to light the fire to warm up the cafe and tempt people in fell on deaf ears and the very friendly waitress exclaimed to everyone who came in how mild it was today. Well not to this freezing cold Englishwoman it wasn’t! I suggest listening to your customers more (who had asked for the radiator to be put on and wore their coats throughout ) and making the front of the cafe more inviting to match the great food

Came with family for lunch, which was great. The service is so welcoming and food was delicious. Proper home made meals that warm the soul! Would highly recommend and will certainly be back soon.

We were looked after by a friendly but excellent attendant called Dawn , we ordered sandwiches and coffee and they were excellent, all local produce so thank you for looking after us.

Best steak pie I've tasted in a long time, lovely patio area, which was ideal so our 2 dogs could accompany us, friendly service. 10/10

Best Full Scottish breakfast in Callander by a country mile. Staff so helpful and friendly. Always come here when visiting callander.

Absolutely upstanding food, the best steak pie my hubby has ever had !, The fish n chips was delicious and again a great portion size. The staff were friendly, and the cafe itself is lovely and inviting. Price wise, a lot cheaper than its competition, they could put an extra pound on and they would still be ahead of every other food establishment in terms of quality and quantity- customer service exemplary. Free Tea top ups too. What's not to love! Can't praise this place and the staff enough.

Food is delicious but the service and hospitality was even more enticing. I can't rave enough how wonderful the employee staff is. Sandy made our evening so enjoyable, and took time out of work to talk with us and make recommendations. Thank you!

היינו ארבעה לארוחת צהריים והזמנו מספר מנות אותן חלקנו בננו בין המנות תפוח אדמה עם טונה פטריות מוקרמות ברי מטוגן חלומי צ'יפס צ'יפס עם צ'ילי ביפ. הכל היה טעים בממיר סביר 15 פאונד לאדם כולל טיפ

We recommend this restaurant. Our walking group booked lunch for 18 people. The restaurant was lovely, food was delicious, the service was fast and friendly, and the price was reasonable. Thanks to the staff.

Great place for lunch . Our large group were served promptly with hot ,homemade food . Reasonable prices and the table service from Sandy was superb . Definitely recommend . All the best .

Great wee find, fantastic full breakfast, best haggis have had, everything was fresh and piping hot. Service was fantastic, Vicky was very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be back and will take Vicky's advice and book in advance as wouldn't want to be disappointed and not getting in. Great wee place!

I had veggie burger and carrot cake. They were amazing. Highly recommend. The person who attended us was so kind. Love from India 🩷

We were in Callander for haircuts and had a bit of time to kill so we tried to go into Puddingstone Place for a coffee. 3.30pm when they are advertised to be open to 4pm. "Sorry, the kitchen is closed". All we wanted was a couple of coffees! Fortunately, the Waverley supplied us with two excellent coffees. Plus a nice bowl of chips...but that was an unexpected extra.

We had friends staying and thought we would pop out for breakfast. Excellent food and service, lovely coffee, nice comfortable restaurant. Will definitely go back .

Absolutely gorgeous food. A really friendly cafe, with a good range of lunch options, the food exceeded expectations for this unpretentious little cafe at the far end of the high street. The kids absolutely loved the mac and cheese, and they use local butchers for their meat. We would absolutely come again, tasty, good value!

Visited after a long rainy walk. Staff were lovely and friendly. A very welcoming atmosphere with a fire as soon as you walk in. Came in for a cup of tea and ended up staying for a breakfast roll which came very quick. Would recommend :)

I never ever bother with reviews but I feel the need to with this gem of an eatery. My daughter and I have visited a couple of times in the past, having moved over this way in the last 2 years. We’ve also been disappointed when we’ve left it too late and had to find an alternative, which, for the record, there is not! The staff are superb, the food is superb and as for value for money… what can I say except, superb! Anyone looking for delicious proper home cooked food need go no further. Being from a Donegal family myself, I love the turf fire burning as you enter and all the photos and homely effects that adorn the walls. We found it by sheer luck when we wandered to the far end of Callander and boy am I glad we did. We had previously settled in the other restaurants and hotels, thinking that was all there was on offer. Although decent in their offerings and worthy of a return, none of them can compete with Puddingstone Place. We arrived just before 3:30 a couple of Saturdays back and rather than say we close at 4, we were made to feel most welcome, as if they had all the time in the world. Our food, me steak pie and Mac and cheese for my daughter, could have been the work of any 5 star+ restaurant. I never clear a plate but this was perfection with boiled potatoes, carrots and broccoli and I couldn’t bear to leave a morsel. Same with my daughters, clean plate. We will be returning again this Saturday for the Christmas lights and arriving early to ensure a table at the finest restaurant in Callander.

A spontaneous drive through to Callander found us wandering the Main Street looking for some lunch. We wandered into this lovely little business by chance and thankfully there was a table available. It’s clearly a popular spot with the locals. The menu contained some classic dishes and we both fancied the steak pie. We were not disappointed, a really tasty meal arrived in no time at all, served by the lovely staff who were making everyone feel at home. Hopefully we’ll be back to try some other dishes! Thank you.

My wife and I dropped in to this warm and. Cozy cafe on our way to Edinburgh. It was my best meal in Scotland! Got the beef pie and wish we could have found this spot two weeks earlier! It was OMG good. Tasty beef and the crustiest flaky topping I’ve ever had. Also, the prices are incredibly reasonable. If you can, visit this place!

Found this lovely place on a damp Sunday day out. Food was lovely service excellent. Lots of locals using it, always think that’s a good sign.

We were caravanning just outside Callander for the Weekend and decided to take a walk in to the centre of the town. After spending some time shopping we headed back to the caravan when the rain came on. We were just outside Puddingstone Place when this happened, and as we had no wet weather clothing decided to go in for a coffee and let the rain pass. The atmosphere was so welcoming and friendly we decided to stay for lunch. The food was excellent, in fact the only thing better was the service, we had only been in 15 minutes and it felt like a local cafe we had been using for years. The very friendly lady who served us was happy to recommend what to try, and also pointed out there was street party on that night and invited us to attend. The prices were very competitive, I thought it was brilliantly priced for Callander, which can be expensive when dining out.all in all, to coin a phrasal, we felt we got "Champagne service for lemonade prices" we are planning to go back to Callander mainly because of our experience in Puddingstone. Thank you 😊

Arrived in Callander on Fri and had our dinner in Puddingston place the same night , we had starters and main course with couple of drinks everything was lovely and as usual service was great , couple of stuffed diners here ..

Spending two nights in Callander. Like someone else said about a wait, we were warned of a ten minute wait to be served but given a table right away. It was around 1pm on a Friday. Sure enough it was not not long before we were placing our order and it arrived promptly. Two bowls of nachos with salsa, sour cream and chilli beef with cheese melting. Nicely layered and generous, especially with the beef chilli. Yummy. We followed up with two nice hot coffees, a slice of lemon cake which actually tasted of lemon (well done - most places cannot seem to get that right) and a slice of warmed chocolate cake with pouring cream. Delish. The Waitress said all the cakes are made there on the premises. (We also had a glass each of fresh cold tap water because Scottish water is lovely and free - we're Scots too so like a bargain!) All very tasty and very decent value for money. The Waitress was friendly, busy and working hard. The chef must be a magician as it looked like he was solo in the kitchen and sending out nicely presented meals. Well worth a visit. We'd go again.

Amazing restaurant in Callander. We stopped by on our Highlands road trip and were amazed by the food and service received here. Fair prices and very generous portions. We really recommend the Halloumi fries and the steak pie, but everything was fantastic. Absolutely recommend.

I went with my friends for lunch. The ladies were very kind and welcoming. Good food, a very good local eating place

Visited here recently with my wife and both had the homemade chilli which was delicious. It was very quiet so the atmosphere wasn't great but the food was very tasty and the waitress was excellent. We will definitely be back and would definitely recommend .

Used a a lunch stop before hitting Oban for a week. Good food, fair prices and not the usual "clinical" diner. Liked it so much we used as a breakfast stop on way home.

The lady who greeted us was very kind and welcoming. She gave us wonderful suggestions about popular lunch items. The beef lasagna was freshly made and very tasty. The fish and chips were the best we’ve had bar far. The fish melted in our mouths and the breading wasn’t to heavy or greasy. I 100% recommend stopping here for a quick and delicious bite to eat

Prior to our visit to Callander I'd done some research and was looking forward to visiting with my husband and very friendly labradoodle. I'd seen reviews stating how welcome guests and their dogs had been made previously. The blackboard outside even said that dogs were welcome. On arrival I put my head inside and asked if they were dog friendly, as I always like to confirm first only to be get a loud and abrupt response of No from both members of staff and a look of utter disgust. I was genuinely shocked at how rudely I'd been spoken to and spoilt the rest of my day. A real shame after the very warm welcome we had received everywhere else in Callander

We've been here a few times and never been disappointed, just a very good local eating place. We take a run from Glasgow to Callander and this is the Puddingstone Place to go.

Wonderful - value for money Scottish breakfast with haggis, black pudding, sausage and bacon from the local butcher! Can't be beaten on Callander High Street as far as I can tell!

Good selection and prices on a par with everything else. Not cheap or massively expensive. Had a lunch- ordered the kilted chicken. Service was friendly and quick. However, the chicken was disappointing. It was dry and tough. The haggis in it was very tasty though....

We live in Callander, which attracts tourists most of the year. There are five or six local places which cater for locals and tourists. Unfortunately the majority of places do not appear to aim for return business, and will provide a moderate to poor dining...

Great lunch, soup and sandwiches. Good service and lovely fire on as it was a dreich day. Nice ambiance

Pleasant breakfast for two Warm welcome and service from Victoria (I think) Full Scottish along with toast, poached eggs and bacon. Food was hot and tasty as was the coffee

Wednesday afternoon visit. Delightful steak pie. Cooked beautifully - absolutely home made. Lovely ambience and friendly and welcoming service. Would have ordered more food if we hadn’t been going out for meal this evening. A total gem of a find.

This was our second visit to this lovely friendly welcoming restaurant..The food was of good quality and quantity..The staff member who served us was very efficient and knowledgeable she was just wonderful... highly recommend this little gem...

When you walk into a cafe in a small town and they tell you it’s a 30 minute wait at 1pm you know it’s worth it. The cozy, local eatery is a must stop and was worth the wait. The highlight for me was the...

Amazing! Really friendly, great value for money. Full Scottish breakfast was really filling with really good ingredients especially the haggis. Partner had the veggie breakfast and said that it was the best veggie haggis ever! It was so good we went both days.

Excellent food, locally sourced and freshly prepared. Friendly, efficient service. What a fantastic way to entertain family. Suitable for all. Well worth a return visit maybe for brunch next time. Best meal we've had in a long time and great to support a local business.

My wife and I had lunch here today and have nothing but praise for our meals and service. well worth a visit. You’ll not be disappointed.

A warm,friendly welcome. Food is exceptional. I particularly loved the haggis and sausage roll. Great value for money.

Fish and chips with peas. Never seen such an amazing formed piece of fish like that. Like it was blown up, hard crust. Pale chips half cooked, cold peas. Nachos with jalapeño, no heat to the jalapeño, cheese tasteless. Nachos tasteless. Minimal salsa. Avoid.

Absolutely beautiful homemade food, friendly staff , chilli and jacket potato to die for ,plenty of choice for a light snack definitely worth a visit

Had a nice meal here with friends - very reasonably priced and a nice range of foods such as fish and chips, steak pie, chicken stuffed with haggis, lasagne - all homemade. Staff were lovely - very friendly, helpful welcoming.

Four of us visited for lunch and we were given a friendly service. We chose from the breakfast menu - 2 full Scottish breakfasts, scrambled eggs with bacon on toast and a haggis panini, plus endless refills of the tea pot. The quality of the...

Me and a friend had lunch here. Brilliant new menu. Love it 😍. Will be back soon. Highly recommended xx

Had a delicious homemade steak pie at the outside eating area to the rear of the building. Waitress could not have been more helpful and surroundings were well maintained and spotlessly clean. The added bonus of being able to have our dog, Ollie, outside with...

Il y a deux petite salles dans ce salon de thé/restaurant. La décoration est vraiment cosy, c'est très agréable.Le repas a été servi très rapidement, ce qui étai appréciable avec nos enfants en bas âge. La nourriture est excellente, la quantité importante. Mention spéciale au cheesecake au citron, j'ai rarement mangé un aussi bon dessert !!Notre hôte est très agréable et aux petits soins. Vous pouvez également partir en ballade vers les chutes "bracklng falls" qui sont tout près du restaurant.SI nous retournons à Callander, nous nous y arrêterons pour manger assurément !

I had their Stovies, and it was very warm and delicious, perfect for the cold weather that Callander was having that weekend. The staff were friendly and polite! The restaurant was super cozy, and I'm glad I stopped by.

Staff very friendly and helpful despite being very busy , service excellent and a good choice of delicous food woyld definately recommend Puddingstone Place.

If looking for good Scottish fare head in here. Prices not too bad but the food is worth it. The waiting staff are young but really lovely and on the ball.

We were a large party celebrating a birthday. There were plenty of choices for vegetarians and people with specific dietary needs. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating and the food was delicious.

Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. And the haggis was, in my opinion, superb. Unfortunately, we in America cannot get real haggis. I had it once before in Edinburgh several years ago; it was "oh-kay". On my second trip to Scotland, in July, I decided to try it again. Puddingstone's haggis is wonderful; made locally we were told. So tasty, I wish we could have stayed in Calendar for a few more meals. My daughter also enjoyed her meal of stovies.

What more can be said. Called in twice once for Dinner then called back for Lunch. Both visits were both with good food, service and value. Not to forget good friendly staff

I had read elsewhere this place was dog friendly but seems not! Popped in and asked if dog was allowed no and was quickly told no. Staff member was polite enough but could have maybe offered take-away instead? Busy lunchtime elsewhere but the place looked empty so they maybe could have been more accommodating and let me look at menu for something to take away.

Not a great choice on a Monday as so many restaurants are closed. Chose here as they had pretty good reviews. Friendly service and nice food. Nothing exceptional and the decor is very middle of the road. Had a good meal and attentive service but not exceptional. Callander should do much better.

a great little restaurant with local food, great service, and not expensive. we had fish and chips, with a light batter and excellent flavor from the fresh haddock. would go there again tomorrow night if we stayed in town longer

We went on two days to eat at the above restaurant, the meals were excellent,the staff were very friendly and made time to talk to you.It is advisable to book as it gets busy. A great find.

Having failed to reserve a table earlier in the day, we struggled to find a place to eat. we were finally directed to a wee place , heading west, away from the centre of Callander. A small shop front but with tables to the rear. we received a warm welcome, directed to our table and the service was excellent. Menu was basic, standard stuff but the quality was superb.

A warm welcome. Friendly staff. Great homemade food. We came for dinner. My wife had the Stovie while I had the steak pie. It was delicious. There was a wonderful selection of gins, including locally produced gin.

Three of us hand a really nice meal here, with lots of friendly chat. Prices are also good. Highly recommended. Just make sure you ask about the puddingstone rock in the window.

Great choice of flavourful food & nicely presented. Friendly staff. Love the coal fire. Good value for money.

Very tasty food. Friendly staff and local customers, even down to directing us to where we would find Highland cows which was the highlight of my daughter's holiday in Scotland!

Unique “fish pie”. Well done. Owner was short handed so had to do everything. Felt like I was eating in the home of a very nice person. Would gladly come back again.

Was recommended this little cafe by a local friend, really glad we went! Service was great- the waitress really friendly and attentive. Both had the macaroni, was delicious and really good portion sizes! My dad could barely finish his meal, will definitely return if in the area again.

Came here for some lunch today. Cozy little place and the two girls on were lovely and friendly and a credit to the place. Food was nice, just felt bacon was a little too greasy and the sausages really thick ( although that’s personal choice). My kids had pasta and loved it. I would definitely return !

Went there with my family, great service and cosy atmosphere. The cakes and food was also outstanding.

Small resturant/Cafe. We ate here for dinner and recieved great service and tasty homemade food. Menu included some Scottish dishes went down a treat. Excellent prices, would have expected to pay more.

Visited with family and friend, although the restaurant was totally full we couldn't fault the service or quality and quantity of the food, the home made double burgers with bacon were superb. The gluten free meal my daughter had was deliciou and the GF menu is very comprehensive.

Après une rando costaud sous une pluie constante, on a trouvé bien du réconfort avec la cuisine de Stacey. La serveuse était fort accueillante et serviable, nous avons pris soupe du jour et stovies en plat (typique écossais - Patate Saucisse Oignons Gravy ) c'était super et bon marché. Une bonne adresse.

I had a great experience at Puddingstone place on Thursday night. The mushroom & garlic starter was amazingly tasteful and creamy. I licked my fingers ! And the mini haggis were fresh and tasty. Simply delicious. The next day I had a look at other restaurants’ menus but a lot of fried stuff. I decided to go back to Puddingstone Place and there .... big disappointment. I had ordered the mushrooms again and some Scottish pâté. I did not finish them. The pâté tasted like any supermarket tin. And the mushrooms felt like not cooked enough and as if the cream had been cut with water ... I was so surprised of the difference that I asked if the cook that night was different : matter of fact, that second night the boss was cooking .... so before sitting in this place, ask who is cooking that night. // On the service side, many smiles and helpful. The decor is simple but nice.

Stopped in for coffee and a scone on our way through Callander, great coffee and service, highly recommended.

Don't be deceived by size. Had their haggis with neeps and tatties. Delicious. Service prompt and friendly. Worth coming to!
