Food and service excellent at this cafe. It’s very busy, unsurprisingly, yet service was quick and food fresh. This is our second visit and we’ll be back.

… the service at the takeaway section is shocking. Through complete inefficiency it took half an hour to be served. Should have been five minutes. Won’t be back.

Wonderful spot in Bridge of Allen for a meal and don't forget dessert. Great pricing, great staff and delicious food options. No beer or wine but a few pubs close by if you still have time to enjoy this town, but the cafe is a must, and we will be back. We are staying in Stirling but it's a short train trip up to Bridge of Allen and about 1/2 KM to stroll into town. Many delicious options to try and variety of home made ice creams are not to be missed. Great pricing and portions! A gem!

We popped in for lunch and ice cream during a visit to Stirling. The food was delicious but the highlight for us was the service. As one person in our group has mobility issues, the staff were very quick to rearrange tables and 1 staff member finished his break early to allow us to use the table so that we didn't have to go upstairs. Thank you all for a lovely visit to the Cafe and, of course, for the fabulous ice cream!

If you’re looking for friendly service or any respect from another human being DO NOT come here, went in here to use the loo was told I wasn’t allowed to use it as I wasn’t having a meal in the restaurant, which is fine, however the reaction I got from the bald man with glasses was appalling, was no clear communication from the man just grumbles which then led to him shouting at me to get out … overall terrible experience and absolutely shocking a man could talk to a young girl like that especially in the industry that he’s in. I will not be back which is a shame as my family loves the food here.

This cafe is owned by the hardest working people who are customer service focussed legends. The food never disappoints- fish (Haddock or Cod both awesome) and chips, black pudding or haggis supper. The burgers look great though not had one. Real potato chips. But lets talk about icecream, lots of different flavours made by the owners and oh my goodness its good. One issue. Parking is almost impossible of busy times but go anyway it’d be worth the parking fine.

Very good fish supper to takeaway, £9.25 for small haddock supper. BUT I spotted the man fetching fresh fish from the cold cabinet when two or three fillets fell on the floor.....the fish were just picked up and chucked somewhere..... I didn't see where the fish were thrown as behind the counter but I suspect into the batter mix..... Rather off-putting.

We waited and waited for the seating area to be opened in order that we could sit down in the old fashioned way and enjoy an old fashioned fish supper. Well worth the wait though we dined early lunch time as tea time seemed ages away. I wouldn't go anywhere else except Allan Water Cafe for fish and chips as their quality is always excellent, and cleanliness guaranteed. These are difficult times and we should support small local businesses, not just because they are local but because their quality of food, hygiene standards and customer service are first class. This is a family run cafe and this reflects on the staff who go all out to make sure your visit is so good you'll always come back for more. We did experience the takeaway service once as lockdown eased and again, the quality of the fish and chips, high standard of staff in the takeaway, were superb.

Have been to the Allanwater Cafe many times both to sit in and take away. I was really looking forward to our fish takeaway tonight. In the past the food has been really tasty, however, tonight although it was really busy the majority of the food was awful. Ordered one medium fish supper and two small fish suppers. The medium fish supper was fine, nice and white fish. The two small fish suppers were totally different, one was fairly white fish but tasted a bit strong, the other was a pinkish grey colour and tasted strong so left most of it and placed in the bin. The three suppers were fairly expensive as a takeaway and I will certainly not be back. I don’t know if they have changed supplier or if fish is kept too long but certainly not as good as it was before. Sorry Allanwater Cafe but not what you used to be and will certainly be going elsewhere in the future.

Dropped in on the way through the town. As usual the service and food quality was excellent. The medium haddock and chips is a great joice although there are plenty of other really nice items on the menu.

We went into the allan water cafe to purchase ice creams for our boys for a birthday treat after their rugby match. The older lady who served us was from the start very rude and aggressive in the way she spoke. My son asked for two different flavours of ice cream and she replied “NO can’t do that” straight away. After watching her give a scoop and and a bit to the rest I asked her why would it be a problem to do the same but with two different flavours? Her reply was rude and could see she was upsetting my birthday boy. This lady had no customer service skills at all and seemed very unhappy to be working in the place. Wouldn’t be returning to this place after using if for years.

We went in and were the only folk there for a bit. Ordered the food and waited. Some not so good Hygiene practices. The gent doing the frying used his hand to remove excess batter from the Fish. He moments before this had been cleaning dirty grease from below the Fryers. After removing the batter he “washed” his hands in water in a bucket!!. Not good. However, the Fish and Chips were great. Please pay a little more attention to basic cleanliness and clean as you go.

Having listened to recommendations about how good it was here, we decided to give it a try. On arrival we decided to sit in. We ordered a fish supper and a white pudding supper. When it came, the portions of chips were miniscule. The batter was so crispy and hard, you couldn,t cut it. When it was time to pay, over £20, what a Rip Off. We wont be back

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.

Got accused of stealing when I didn’t and said I put it in my coat pocket and I told them to take a look at the cameras and they did and didn’t even get an apology

We decided to stay in Calendar for dinner, after spending the day out and about walking. It had been a gorgeous day, but literally 30 seconds before getting back to the car the skies opened up and it was torrential rain. We found the Lade Inn after a quick search on Tripadvisor. It was busy when we arrived, and had a nice cosy atmosphere. Food was excellent and the staff was friendly and chatty. We had a couple of courses before starting our journey back home. Would recommend to anybody visiting the area. I suspect during busy times, it will be beneficial to book in advance.
