The Allan Park Pub & Restaurant in Stirling

We love having afternoon tea. We’ve been to many teas all over the UK and the United States and the tea we had at the Allan Park was the best we’ve ever had! Beautiful, tasty sandwiches and desserts with fantastic, perfect scones. The staff were amazing; friendly, helpful and fun.

The service and hospitality of the people are five star! Not to mention the food was six star! The ambiance and vibe was also outstanding. Richard and our server weee the nicest!

This was by far our favorite place to stay during our European adventure. The staff was literally beyond words amazing (John, Andrew, Jordan) and the food was phenomenal. We stayed in one of their king rooms and it was clean, spacious and decorated so nicely. The food we had for breakfast was superb and the cocktails were superb. I will never stay anywhere else in Stirling now that I have found the Allan Park. Would highly highly recommend!

WOW!!! Amazing is not an adequate word! Phenomenal is more accurate, sincerely. The Allan Park is a beautiful old Victorian that holds charm and character. The accommodations are time pieces and yet very comfortable. The staff…WOW! Becca is so warm and welcoming. She is beyond helpful and does everything to make you feel at home. Stellar!! Richard is very friendly and so knowledgeable! He is so very kind. And then Lewis, Katie Ryan are very efficient at their aspects of making you comfortable. The food is beyond stellar also. WOW again. You can see Stirling castle from the back of the house with only a ten minute walk to the castle. Five star all the way!! We have a new favorite place. Being only an easy short 30 minute drive from EDI, you cannot miss with this gem!!

This place retains what is missing so often especially with chain restaurants - a bit of independent personality. We had a fantastic relaxing afternoon here. An off the cuff, unplanned afternoon tea for a family of 4. Quick phone call beforehand and Richard was more than accommodating at short notice. Food was brilliant and extremely generous for the price - we had to take half of it home. Soup starter was exceptional followed by afternoon tea with Scones as big as my head. Lovely relaxed atmosphere - even had time to play some card games as a family in the conservatory. If you are in Stirling, check this place out.

Very good cuisine and warm surroundings.

We love the Allan Park Pub due to its consistently superb food, great atmosphere, very attractive exterior and interior look, and outstanding staff. We enjoy seeing the Allan Park Pub’s many dedicated local patrons be greeted as close friends, a testament to the Allan Park Pub’s excellence.

An excellent space, lovely building, fabulous service, brilliant food, and even though we went late so there weren't many people dining by the time we arrived it had a really great atmosphere. Great value for money, as the title says, it felt like fine dining at a non fine dining price.

I recently spent five nights in Stirling and fortunately I visited The Allan Park for dinner during my second evening. I was so impressed that I returned for Sunday lunch. Everything, the welcome, ambience and best of all, the food, beer and wine, were excellent. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food beautifully prepared and presented. The Sunday roast is something else. If I find myself back in Stirling, The Allan Park will be my first port of call.

Excellent food. And, very important, gluten-free offer

Very welcoming staff and manager. Dog friendly doesn't mean compromise on quality of decor, service and food. Delicious salad and generous steak sandwich. Well selected wines and spirits. Highly recommend.

The best Sunday roast we’ve ever had. Sticky toffee pudding was also amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly and Richard was a delight!!! Would absolutely go out of my way to come back here to eat Sunday roast again!

Stopped here on vacation for my first Sunday roast. Can’t say enough good things about the food and staff! Worth the stop if you are looking for good food.

This was the most amazing meal I’ve ever had. We got the soup of the day, ciabatta rolls, Sunday Roast + the sticky toffee pudding. We’re visiting, so it was hard to know where to go but I’m SO GLAD we decided to come here! The staff was so so nice and welcoming, which was really appreciated. Every single thing we ate was incredible. If I was from here I’d go all the time. Thank you for the best experience!!!

A wonderful stay in a cozy room, the breakfast and dinner were incredible and the staff was super friendly and kind, we can not recommend enough!

Very warm welcome, top service and delicious Scottish and continental breakfasts, homemade croissants, scones etc... spacious rooms with little touches, if the opportunity presents itself I would happily return, located 15 minutes walk from the castle the must 🥰 our favorite of our road trip in Scotland

What a find of a place this was. Happened to be visiting Stirling and asked Google to show me dog friendly restaurants. This came top and when looking it had the added bonuses of also having a separate gluten free menu ( ideal as wife needs GF ) and a car park. I had emailed and received an email back too. We were greeted upon arriva by a friendly waitress and the matre de came over to greet us also as he had been the person I was emailing. Nice touch. Well it didn't disappoint. Venue lovely, staff excellent and the food was equally lovely. Four of us had three courses each, a bottle of wine and sparkling water, 2 cocktails and a coffee and all for £203 Very happy with that. Fully recommend.

Restaurant close to Stirling city centre. Beautiful menu, with fast service and welcoming staff. The dishes are tasty. Dogs are accepted. I recommend !

Great service and very nice place. The food was average. Unfortunately, some of it didn't seem the freshest and didn't taste right. Our waiter dealt with the complaint in a very professional manner though, and offered a dessert to make up for it. Overall, it has been a pleasant experience but since the food wasn't the best, we will not be back.

Fantastic location. Very comfortable bed. Charming place. Very good food. Very friendly staff.

excellent place to eat and its dog friendly in the bar area. food was gorgeous and i will defs be back here when i am in stirling again. there is parking at the back of the resturant also

While visiting Stirling we stopped there for a little snack. The secluded place is quiet and very pleasant. The friendly waiter served us our teas with scones and cakes which were delicious. If you visit the Wallace monument, stop there for a nice little break.

The hotel is super noisy. We stayed in the basement. You have to close the window because you are afraid of someone breaking in. The shower is moldy, including the shower head. Cleaning would be good. The ventilation also needs to be cleaned. The worst hotel on the trip so far. I'm definitely not showering here. The bed makes noises every time you move. :/ However, the breakfast is very good and the staff is very nice.

This place came highly recommended but sadly we never got to dine there because there was no wheelchair access whatsoever.

We stayed at Allan Park for 1 night in April. The room was gorgeous, clean, location great and staff helpful and friendly! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We also ate breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. Both meals were great! We will stay here again the next time we are in Sterling! Thank you!

Room in the basement was musty and had a smell of mold. Mold also on the shower hose. Our pajamas still smelled like the room smell the next day. The room was right next to the kitchen. Floor to room was sticky. View of the parking lot is not nice. Restaurant, however, was good, the staff was friendly. Overall the place didn't seem clean. We wouldn't stay there again.

Having read previous reviews regarding the food, we were looking forward to a pleasant lunch, however what we got was an overpriced fish supper with inedible chips, they had obviously been below the heat lamps in the kitchen as they were dried up and hard, we complained twice but no action was taken by an indifferent staff member, will certainly not be back

Great atmosphere, fun and friendly staff, and delicious food. Our server, Hannah, was engaging and nudged me towards the best beer I’ve had this trip. I’d be a regular if I lived here.

Had a great stay and this fabulous hotel. Rooms were spotless and decor was fresh and modern. We had lunch before going out food was local produce of the highest quality and I had the best mac and cheese I have ever eaten. Breakfast this morning was delicious with loads of choice. Staff were friendly and will definitely stay here again when coming yo Stirling. Thank you for a great stay.

What a lovely place this is. The staff are amazing and so friendly and courteous. Spotlessly clean. Good quality food. I asked for extra crispy bacon on my breakfast and for once a kitchen listened and my bacon was super crispy - the number of places I have been to over the years and the bacon is raw! Best breakfast in Stirling, cooked to perfection. With bacon that you could crack on the table - yum! 😂 The 2 staff members on the morning shift on Saturday 22nd June (one brown hair and one blonde hair) were so lovely and could not do enough for us, so chatty too. Advised us about moving our cars too. Just lovely people. Thank you, we will be back

Nice food excellent staff really friendly credit to owners🙂 really nice atmosphere to resturaunt lamb rump excellent

We visited the restaurant and had an enjoyable family lunch. The Northern Irish lad Jordan provided impeccable service which made the afternoon really lovely. Large food servings. Great desserts too and we took away some scones and croissants to eat later.

Rooms are tidy, a bit noisy (we were in the basement and heard the music from the restaurant above). Food was excellent, service was very attentive. It was cozy and unhurried. Breakfast delicious.

We went for dinner. Food was good but the service was very slow to non existent.

We stayed one night here and it was lovely. The rooms were clean, there were snacks and drinks in the room and the breakfast was good. The wait staff were also great. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay in stirling.

My review is for the restaurant only. We had the Sunday roast, trimmings were very good, but the meat was dry. Good portion thought and the staff was lovely.

This locale has the friendly atmosphere of a pub but the experience borders on fine dining. Very relaxed and casual. Richard was a delight and extended us a very warm welcome. The starter we enjoyed was the Chicken Liver option. The onion marmalade and pate was something you wanted to bathe in, I enjoyed the lamb rump as my main. It was so tender and delicious. If in Stirling this is a can’t miss,

I tried here for the first time after reading the great reviews & checking out their website. I was being treated to a birthday meal. Relaxed atmosphere coupled with delicious food. The lamb main course was a particular hi-light. It was also great to have a choice of real ales. Highly recommended & looking forward to returning.

Un endroit sympathique et chaleureux! Des plats copieux, Le stiky toffee pudding était très bon, Une bonne adresse !!!

The Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We really had a great Sunday roast. A perfect way to finish the visit to Stirling Castle as it was only a short walk down the hill.

On Saturday evening of 20th April 2024. Our reservation was for 18.30. Eventually we were served our main meal at 20.30. The restaurant was very busy but 2hours to wait for our meal was not acceptable. When we questioned the wait was told there had been an accident in the kitchen. We have dined there on serval occasions & always until now been very satisfied. Very doubtful we’ll be back.

Great recommendation from our tour guide, perfect venue for an outstanding meal, particularly after a cold wet day exploring the sites of Stirling. The venue, the meal and the location were all outstanding, with the best beef I can remember enjoying, ever!

Had a lovely lunch today! Booked very last minute but they managed to squeeze us in. Three adults and five children. Staff were lovely and the food was amazing. Very child friendly. Would highly recommend and will definitely go back.

We made last minute dinner reservations at this wonderful restaurant on a windy wet night on the recommendation of our B&B host. We walked in drenched and were immediately and warmly greeted by the General Manager, Richard. He helped us hang up our wet coats, found us a table by the fire and made us feel welcome and as if we were treasured guests, not just another couple coming for dinner. But it was not just the ambiance and service that caught our attention. We have had many excellent meals during our 3 weeks in Scotland, but this one was undoubtedly the best. The warm ciabatta bread was amazing. My wife loved her salmon. And I was very impressed by the herb-roasted chicken and haggis. Richard stopped by several times to see how our meal was going and to briefly chat about our travels but somehow had a second sense for when we also just wanted to enjoy our meal. Bottom line, we liked our dinner so much that we booked again for the next night, always a risky proposition, and were not disappointed. We enjoyed the different entrees as much as we had our first and had another lovely dining experience. Because all the food is purpose-made, one is better off coming when they are in a mood to linger. This is a place to savor, not rush through.

Great meal here Sunday, wonderful beef roast dinner.

We stayed here, ate dinner and breakfast. The food was delicious and the rooms were comfortable. This was my favorite “hot” shower in all of Scotland. The service was great. There was a small issue with billing as I booked through Expedia, but I think it will all be taken care of.

Lovely place to spend time with family and friends.Food is delicious and reasonably priced

We stayed at The Allan Park and the staff was so welcoming. We stayed to enjoy a delicious dinner and breakfast. Highly recommend

Loved our meal at Allan Park. Menu was inventive, food tasted fantastic, service was faultless. Really enjoyed our first visit. Will definately be back. Got parked in street outside restaurant. It was really busy in the restaurant, so I was glad I had prebooked a table. I also thought the prices were pretty fair for the high standard we experienced.

The best salmon I have ever had!!! The exquisite treatment.

Very beautiful hotel, large rooms, with many courtesies. Fabulous breakfasts!

Beautiful food, lovely surroundings and outstanding service! The scallop starter was delicate and precise with perfect flavours, my husband had the lamb, I had the ribeye, both cooked nicely. We both had desserts too, which were to die for. Callum was outstanding from start to finish. He is a down to earth young man, who took time for us when asked. We asked him questions about cocktails, the local area and Allen Park itself. He is a credit to his employers as well as himself. We hope he goes far! We will definitely be back and will stay her next time, rather than where we are currently.

After staying at The Woodside in Doune thought we'd try their sister hotel in Stirling. Probably preferred the Woodside but nothing to complain about here. Huge room, lovely meal (menu the same) and really nice staff. Just minutes from the city centre too. Definitely consider returning.

What a fantastic find!! Came to Stirling for a night visit and found this on a Google search.. I am so glad we did. Staff so friendly and food was absolutely delicious!! Will definitely be back next time we are back.

Absolutely fantastic! Food, drinks and service were all 10/10. Staff are so friendly and add to the value. Highly recommend for all occasions.

very good place to eat very kind

Great service and great food, will return

Stayed here for one rainy night in October and the place was fantastic! The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the room was very comfortable, clean and seemed to have been newly updated. The food was quite excellent as well!

Had an excellent stay at Allan Park. The location is very central so everything is close by. The room was warm, comfortable and the bed was very comfy. We also had dinner in the restaurant... the steak was incredible as was the crème bruleé, the wine too. In the morning we had a magnificent full Scottish breakfast served by the most friendly, professional and attention staff. I would definitely recommend a stay here when you're in Sterling.

Very unusual place did not feel welcome at all, felt like I was an inconvenience to the owner and staff.

Had a nice lunch then spent the rest of the afternoon sipping whisky and watching rugby on TV. Nice!

Visited here for lunch with a group of friends. Good selection of food and drinks available. Great service from the friendly staff. Drinks are quite expensive (for Stirling) but food is well priced for the quality. Highly recommend the mac and cheese! Nice atmosphere in the bar and restaurant area and a lovely homely feeling when sat next to the fire! Will be back.

Zentral gelegen, freundliches Personal, sehr gutes Frühstück, Restaurant/Pub mit leckerem Essen! Hotelzimmer sauber und zweckmäßig eingerichtet! Wir waren 3 Nächte hier und sehr zufrieden!

Fantastic hotel. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Beautiful rooms and lovely surroundings. Gorgeous breakfast. Would definitely go back and highly recommend to anyone visiting Stirling

We were given a voucher for our Christmas. We arrived early and were seated quickly. Although we didn't get our drink order taken until our original booking time. Ordered drinks and they came quickly. Our food order was taken and again food arrived quickly. The haggis starter was amazing. My main meal was lovely (king prawn and mussels linguine) but my husband's venison stew might as well have been a mushroom stew as there were hardly any venison. He enjoyed the mash potatoes. All in all if we hadn't had the voucher we would have been very disappointed with the £75 price tag. Won't be hurrying back.

Visited Allan Park on the last night of a 3 week Scottish road trip. Good way to end the holiday. Friendly welcome, very Covid secure, lots of space so felt very safe. Seating both inside & out. Good menu catering for all diets. Service was excellent, courteous and unobtrusive. Enjoyed our food, portions a good size and well cooked. So overall would recommend for a relaxed meal.

We went here today for first time , nice location in Stirling. Outdoor area very nice .Inside wasn't as nice as I thought from the outside .Not enough staff on for a busy Saturday. Dinner was nice , had to ask for water and condiments .In a establishment like this , you should be asked .

We went for our meal on Saturday and I seriously don’t know how you guys keep up as it was soo busy and was packed full but we still got all meals on time same with drinks. Food was amazing as always. We are regulars and there’s no many places like this in Stirling. Special weekend menu is always so exciting with things you won’t get anywhere else plus so tasteful that’s a bonus. Very friendly. You people make us feel so welcome and comfortable but you always on the ball. Thanks again and off course we’ll be back soon

Our first visit to Stirling and thanks to TA we chose an excellent place to eat. It’s down a residential street so didn’t think we were going the right way! Parking behind the restaurant. Quite a few tables outside too in a covered area.Inside the restaurant is bright and nicely decorated with the tables well distanced. Serving staff were excellent throughout and very prompt. We ordered drinks whilst looking at the menu - good choice of seafood and meat based dishes (and vegetarian on a separate menu).We didn’t order a starter but were given a complimentary bowl of hummus with crispy bread - great! For mains I had the lamb rump and my wife the seafood risotto. The lamb was perfectly cooked and really tasty - the best meal I had eaten in our 10 day trip of Scotland so far. My wife had an excellent risotto which was cooked just as she likes it with plenty of seafood and chorizo.We hadn’t planned to have a dessert but had seen a number of people receive the popcorn chocolate pot so had one to share - as with the other dishes it was very enjoyable.So nothing to complain about - everything was great and would happily return.

We recently had meal at Allanpark, the service was good and place was busy.We enjoyed are meal, but this is but I had the lamb and was informed it is cooked and will be red.The lamb didn’t come red and certainly Medium/well done and had very little red.

A disappointing lunch. Lacking the freshness we have experienced since reopening. Gush finger sandwich batter mostly therefore greasy . No salad and cheap fries. Ketchup in a sachet ! If you want regulars it had to be better than this

Date night and the Allan Park is playing a blinder as usual! Great food! Great wine! Great Craic! Cannot fault it! You know we’ll be back x

We read the great reviews about this place and were not disappointed! Delicious food and the staff could not have been nicer. Wir sind froh, dass wir uns für diesen Ort entschieden haben, und würden auf jedem Fall wiederkommen :)

This is probably one of the best restaurants in Stirling for overall quality, value for money and warm, welcoming staff. We visited on the wildest day, sitting outside when restrictions first eased and the staff couldn’t have been any nicer. It’s such a beautiful place.

Lovely place, looked after me and my son from start to finish, food was lovely and staff were excellent

We had a lovely evening at the Allan Park. Great service, delicious food and excellent value for money. It was so nice to be out with family after so long so I'd recommend the the Allan Park to everyone!

Today we were passing Stirling on our Scotland staycation and I was desperate to find a good Sunday lunch and I cannot believe my luck finding this place! What a Sunday lunch! The effort put into this meal was phenomenal, every item was flavourful! The amount of beef with the roast was amazing too, such generous portions! I would urge everyone to go try this restaurant!!! What a lovely staff team too! I will return it ever back in the are. Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

The restaurant has a great feel and the staff were friendly and very efficient. They even made me an Aperol Spritz despite it not being on the bar menu. The food was tip top our salmon in the crayfish sauce was incredible and so tasty. This is a must when dinning out in Stirling.

It was a general good experience. The typical pub with a front yard with tables to have lunch or dinner. The food was good but it was not the best we had overall in the visit to Scotland. Good value for money and nice staff.

Despite living in the area for over 20 years, this was my first visit to The Allan Park and I will definitely return. I enjoyed Sunday brunch with a friend - delicious and extremely quick service. Perfect location which allowed us to sit outside on an extremely quiet street - no busy traffic noise like other restaurants/ cafes. I can highly recommend.

We visited late afternoon on Sunday 30th May for a 20th birthday celebration for my son. As there were 9 of us we had to sit at separate tables but they managed to sit us close by in the snug. Whilst there the staff were really attentive without being intrusive. The starters and mains arrived in good time and were delicious, especially the Sunday roast! I’m tempted to turn up every Sunday now! We were looked after really well and we’ll definitely be back.

We went for a Sunday roast, the food was delicious and the service was excellent would highly recommend!

Welcoming staff and the food is delicious. There is also lots of choice in the drinks menu. Worth paying the price for a meal and better food than many other pubs in the area.

We went to the Allan Park with friends for a late lunch on the 17th May. The food was excellent as always and the service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The inside of the restaurant is bright and airy and the Covid measures are done in such a way you do not feel restricted.We will definitely be back.

On arrival all looked nice, however the table hadn't been cleaned and chips on the floor. Starter of calamari was fresh and hot. Asked for wine list, server forgot. The lamb mains was very nice but a little on the small side. Server asked if we wanted desert and then failed to bring menu, so when she eventually remembered 15 mins later, she already had the bill printed off ! So nice venue, nice food although small portions, poor service, probably needed more staff.

For our first night out in ages, this was a great choice of restaurant. The service was excellent. Everyone was on the ball and very friendly. We had the calamari and the baked camembert to start, which were both really yummy. We had the Beyond vegetarian burgers for our mains which were really tasty, and the Tarte Tatin and Creme Brulee for dessert (both very incredible, but I think I might spend the next few weeks dreaming about the Tarte Tatin).We had a great night out and will definitely be back!

Dropped in last minute for lunch as they have a good selection of Vegan dishes which isn't common. Food was brilliant, especially the vegan brownie for dessert, and the staff were lovely. Will definitely be back.

The food was exceptional, ambiance very pleasant and service good. There was even some craft beer on. Found this through trip advisor on a short visit .. surpassed all expectations.

Fantastic! I went there for a date with my boyfriend and the staff could not have been more welcoming! Outstanding food, we will be back 🥂

My partner and I had a fantastic meal served by very pleasant members of staff. Each course was delicious and the specials menu left us spoiled for choice. We cannot recommend this place highly enough, it’s worth the 2 minute walk from the town.The place (remaining nameless) in town we were in prior to this was an absolute disaster so it was great to receive very professional service from The Allan Park. Thanks once again.

First outing for brunch in nearly a year and couldn't have picked a better place than this. Full breakfast and eggs benedict were outstanding but the service was even better. Welcoming, warm and friendly!

First food and drink indoors since the end of lockdown and what a treat it was. Lovely warm welcome from the always-friendly staff. Very well set up for social distancing/cleanliness, masks, etc. I had the ribeye steak and it was tremendous, my partner had the corn-fed chicken and loved it. A perfect pint of Schiehallion to go with it, and my good lady had tea and cake to finish with. The maitre d' is such a nice guy, and nothing is too much trouble. There is nothing pretentious about this place....it just serves great food and drink, at affordable prices, with attentive service which is never overbearing. What a treat to be back.

We came to the Alan Park for a birthday celebration. This was the first time we had been out as a family for as long as we can remember and what a success. From start to finish the staff were just amazing! So attentive and friendly :) the food and drinks were delicious and my mums already booked to come back on Friday with friends. Thanks for a fab evening!

Fantastic food, great service and excellent drinks. Had a great date day out on the town 😊 would recommend to anyone coming to Stirling ❤️

Very well organised with good Covid precautions inside. Nice pint of Loch Lomond real ale. Food excellent pub grub - (Haddock Chips & mushy peas). Very good service

Fab Sunday roast and puddings. Huge cut of rib eye for the roast which was a treat with highlights of cauli cheese and carrots. Lovely staff and atmosphere with good COVID safety measures. A good set up for a beer garden as well. Would really recommend if visiting the area. Only suggested improvement for the roast would be some greens as there was more garnish than greens but would 100% go back.

It’s been a long wait due to Covid restrictions, but we finally managed to get back for a late lunch today. Richard is a fab host and nothing is too much trouble. The food is all freshly prepared and good portion sizes. We had pre-booked a table in the conservatory. It was very busy but we weren’t rushed at all. Highly recommend a visit.

We stumbled across this gem of a place by pure accident. We called in at Stirling for a quiet place to eat after spending a hectic morning in Edinburgh. It's set back off the main town street's, so it's central but without all the traffic noise. My husband and I (and our Bassett hound) were warmly welcomed by Richard the owner/manager and his friendly staff. He saw we were cold and sat us by the lovely log burner...it was much appreciated. We were recommended the burger, and we were not disappointed.....so very tasty with quality ingredients. My husband is gluten free and he was impressed with the more than generous choice on the menu. Our dog Edith, was also welcomed and treat kindly....so we were super happy and could relax! Must mention that they're approach to safety in response to the pandemic was very impressive.....I think we can say the best we've experienced. Will definitely visit again next time we're in the area. Thanks guys x

This was one of the best Sunday Lunches I have ever had, superbly tasty with great portion sizes. The service was really good too.

Visited 'The Allan Park' on Monday 10th May with my wife & son. The food was fantastic and the service from the owner and his staff was 1st class. I would highly recommend the special starter of Asparagus, egg & chilli - if it's available when you visit. We were all very happy with the Haddock & Chips for mains !Looking forward to visiting The Allan Park again when back in Stirling
