The Auld Smiddy Inn in Perth & Kinross

Very nice delicious food and friendly staff.

Lovely outdoor dining area, and a nice lively pub. Staff were friendly and attentive, service was fast. Both had the fish and chips which came out in no time.

Great food with interesting combinations, e.g. shrimp with chorizo ​​in garlic sauce.

Stop in for food good seafood pasta, good service

Okay, nothing more. We were a little fooled by the magnificent building... The service is efficient, the dishes are pleasant... good value for money, but for typical Scottish food, this isn't really the place.

Very good food, friendly service, nice atmosphere 👍🏻😊

Very nice pub, nice and friendly staff, very good food with an extensive selection of drinks

Wonderful Sunday lunch, great service and great value.

Wonderful Inn. Best restaurant in town. Great service. Great atmosphere. Will go again.

It was ok, but very expensive for what we got as a light lunch!

Stopped into The Auld Smiddy Inn in Pitlochry during our travels and really enjoyed the experience. It’s a lovely, relaxed pub with a welcoming atmosphere — a few locals sitting at the bar, some classic 80s and 90s tunes playing softly in the background, and a nice cosy feel all round. I treated myself to a pint of Stewart’s 80 Shilling, and it was absolutely spot on — rich, smooth, full of flavour, and perfectly poured. Exactly what you want from a proper Scottish pub. Service was friendly and laid-back, and the whole place just had that nice balance between old Highland charm and casual modern comfort. If you’re passing through Pitlochry and fancy a proper pint in a genuinely welcoming spot, I’d definitely recommend a visit to the Auld Smiddy Inn.

Stopped in for a quick drink. Super friendly staff with a great atmosphere

Came for lunch a few days ago and the food was lovely & great portions, the staff member who served us was lovely. Bit gutted that the musician didnt show up by 10pm so we left to find somewhere with live music but overall a great atmosphere and prices were very reasonable!

Only thing bad about this place is where they keep their high chairs in the disabled toilet covering the baby and toddler nappie changing area. Otherwise this place is amazing for the family to have a meal or a few drinks, food is amazing you cant beat the quality and freshness of their food also their special only 2 out of 4 available but that tells you more about the chefs ability to out sale his food top remarks to their team we all felt welcomed and service was on point no waiting about made sure you had drinks and made regular checks to make sure everything was alright

Super friendly , great atmosphere, it's small to look at on the outside but a tardis inside . Lots of seating areas, with a lovely outside area to .

Fab food Cold beer Great service

Great pub with excellent food, service fast and very friendly staff.👍

Cracking wee pub lovely atmosphere and very dog friendly. Staff lovely and very helpful. Food faband reasonably priced

Great atmosphere, fantastic food, welcome staff. Highly recommend

A little gem of a place. We visited it twice during our stay in Pitlochry.

Fantastic bar/restaurant in Pitlochry. Lovely menu, really attentive waiting staff, good drinks. I’ll definitely be back. The Haggis, Neeps & Tatties starter was so good but I forgot the photo. The chicken burger was real good too, no room for dessert. Wife loved the venison burger.

2nd time in two days visit for lunch. Family of 4 and one small dog. Food was great. Lots of choices. Good choice of beer. Garden was lovely. Lots of space. ☀️ Was plenty.

The staff are very welcoming and friendly with excellent service, I am on a carnivore diet and the chef prepared my steaks and eggs perfectly, which was greatly appreciated, I would highly recommend a visit.

Ordered the burger came out raw so sent it back when I received my second burger it was still raw in the middle

We were up in pitlochry for a couple of days and were wandering around and found this cosy little place.From the moment we walked in until we left we couldn't have been made to feel more welcome.It was a lovely experience.On this occasion we didn't eat,but the food looked and smelt lovely,definitely worth a visit

Great service and 2 decent beers on.

Fantastic! Ate here twice and all food was amazing each time: fish and chips, venison burger, chicken balmoral, venison ragu, haggis, neeps and tatties and the venison pie. A great place with friendly staff. Highly recommend!

We popped in here for a drink after a disappointing dinner and it was great. The service was amazing, the place was lively, and it was dog friendly. We didn't eat but it was a cool place with a nice pub feel and good prices for drinks. The food smelled delicious but I can't vouch for that. We did some people watching and everyone seemed very happy with their food and experience. Check it out for sure, even if just for a bevvie!!! UPDATE Next day, we were comng back thru town and stopped for dinner, i had rhe fish and chips, he had the venison pie. No reservation but they fit us in, and the food was amazing. Delicious venison pie, and the fish was lightly breaded and crispy and perfect. Not greasy, chips were crisp. All around awesome and a fair price for the food.

Steak baguette and chips were great. Very friendly staff.

The food was great, everything we ordered was very very good, the staff was friendly, the place was spectacular

I just returned from a short advy to Pitlochry. There we popped into this pub-restaurant. The place has such a rustic and cozy charm, with its warm wooden decor and cabin-like feel—like stepping into an old-style Scottish retreat. My boyfriend and I had a lovely time, enjoying a couple of glasses of wine while soaking in the cozy atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious! We had the burger and the seafood tagliatelle, both of which were excellent. The service was very efficient, with waiters checking on us frequently, which shows how fast-paced and well-managed the place is. However, at times, it felt a bit rushed, as different waiters came to take our order before we were ready. Other than that, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely recommend it for a warm and inviting meal in Pitlochry.

Food absolutely amazing delicious....lovely atmosphere...

Hannah Molly and Amy went above and beyond to make our Sunday lunch memorable and enjoyable.

There's not much to say, I will visit again, the food was delicious, hot, served with a smile and the staff were professional and attentive.

Food was nice but by the time it got to the table it wasn't very warm. Unfortunately they had puy warm food on a cold plate. I had steak pie the meat was delicious but by the time you ate it with warm quickly cooling veg it was a bit disappointing. Just make sure your plates are hot and you've cracked it

Great friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere but was served a beet salad (ordered it as a main) that was little more than a few beets and some lettuce. The staff thankfully charged me only for a small salad but I wouldn’t eat here if you’re actually hungry.

Enjoyed this wee find in pitlochry. Good fabulous as were staff

Quite expensive and slow, and the atmosphere is a bit too modern for an auld inn. But the food was good, especially fish and chips and chicken balmoral.

Great food!! Myself and my wife came here for dinner on my wifes birthday. We heard the new chef started and the food was top notch, will be coming back 😁👌

A real pub. My girlfriend and I had a very, very good time in this very pleasant and lively bar. The service was excellent, Marina treated us great, and it was her first month in the town since she came from outside. That day we were lucky enough to enjoy live music, very fun!

My partner and I love this place staff are amazing food is always great great atmosphere just love it

Fine place for a dinner, with (pretty loud) live music. Nothing to fancy, but the people are very kind.

We had a great lunch. The staff were very friendly and food lovely. A nice atmosphere too with a cosy fire.

Popped in for a drink on the last Sunday of the year. Place was busy with a mix of tourists and locals. Staff were friendly and had a good atmosphere.

Wonderful staff, perfect food and great atmosphere. Well done, keep it up.

Everything was amazing, we really like the food and the atmosphere great, we went twice in a day. Highly recommended, especially the chicken burger! Also dog friendly which is amazing

Lovely meal, roaring fire, friendly service

A nice pub with very good food! The Haggis Bon Bons are particularly recommended. Our Sunday Roast was also excellent.

In for a quick bite to eat today while collecting a Christmas gift.. lovely place.. looks like it could be good for a night out.. tad pricy for 2 sandwichs and soup but tasty

Great place. Very nice food and drinks. Excellent live music. Smiling and helpful stuff.

We are travelling and stopped over for a quick lunch at Pitlochry, and I chanced upon TASI restaurant and had a lovely meal there! We ordered soups, scallops, burrata, salmon salad, venison pie, and steak fillet sandwich, which were all super delicious! Absolutely loved the service and restaurant vibe!

Food and service was great. Lovely cosy atmosphere. Would highly recommend a visit if in the area

Very friendly pub with a nice atmosphere The food was excellent and would have no hesitation in returning.it is in a good location and close to the shops

We had a burger + chips and a chicken sandwich. The burger was good but the chicken sandwich was average. This place has a cosy atmosphere and vibe but it is very expensive. I understand that this is a small town but I was shocked by the prices.

Lovely place, tad expensive. But that's Pitlochry for you

We were there in early summer 2012. The Highland Games had just ended when we were in town and went out to eat at the Auld Smiddy Inn. I had mussels and my wife had fish and chips. The food was very good. I can still remember it well today and am happy that other guests also like it

What a lovely pub. I popped in as I was staying in a b&b around the corner and managed to get a table. I had haggis bon bons followed by chicken and black pudding pie, and both were absolutely delicious. A good selection of local brews. The staff are young yet enthusiastic, moving at pace, keeping everyone happy but still managing to be engaging. Well done to front of house and kitchen, a really enjoyable dinner.

I was staying for work in a nearby hotel (Westlands of Pitlochry), who does not offer dinner, so wandered the short walk to here. It had been snowing shortly before I arrived, so the feel and atmosphere upon arrival was wonderful and magical. There was a fireplace on and the other guests were relaxed and also enjoying the place. I was quickly seated and given a menu. The order for food and drinks was quick, as was the dinner service. I enjoyed a large beef burger, with a nice pint of Cold Town larger. Perfect spot for a spot for either a relaxed drink or full meal. Thank you to the team for the warm welcome

In our Highland tour , most magical place was for us is the Auld Smiddy Inn. Fish and chips especially delicious, recomended highly.

We stopped here whilst passing through Pitlochry on a tour. The staff were very friendly and inviting. We had a drink sat but the fire, perfect on a cold winters evening. Sadly, we could not stay longer otherwise we would’ve been there all night. Would highly recommend

The Auld Smiddy Inn was an easy walk from our hotel so we decided to check it out. We had a table near the fireplace that was warm and cozy. Service was attentive and we enjoyed the fish (haddock) and chips.

Tremendous restaurant ; friendly staff with a n interesting and adventurous menu . Fish and Chips was really tasty as was the venison . Also nicely busy which is always a good sign . Highly recommend visiting whilst in Pitlochry . We shall return again without a doubt .

Very tasty food and beer, good service and attractive location.

Under new owners this pub has been very much improved. We have been to pitlochry many times. We had Sunday lunch and it was fabulous would really recommend. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Some portions are small, but the food is tasty. Friendly staff and clean place.

Great place to stop for lunch. Very warm and welcoming staff. Food is delicious with plenty selection. Dogs welcome which is always a bonus.

It is trying to punch above it's weight but not quiet there Best stick to the sandwiches. Otherwise rather expensive.

I had the curry night special and it was excellent value - and was truly delicious.

Had a great night at the auld smiddy. The atmosphere was fabulous which only comes from good vibes, this place has that. Lovely food, great service and a lovely bunch of staff. Keep up the good work Tony and crew.... Just get the strawberry daiquiris going 😂... Tony knows!!! I did have a light lunch on the Sunday, haggis bon bons with whisky sauce. Omg I loved them. I'll be having my Sunday roast before going home next time... It looked delicious!!! The music the night we were there was 3 young local lads, they were so good. They did a range of different cover songs and they did a great job. See you soon, ya all..

We had soup and cider and it was delicious

Stopped by for birthday lunch, greeted warmly and offered lunch even though was like 2mins before food orders stopped. Tasty food had the venison pie.

Nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

Visited during a quick tour stop, theywere exceptionally quick in accommodating us. Quality produce and beer selection. Cheers

So I've been in a lot of pubs . Part of my life. Must be said the service in five separate visits over a month so far has been amazing . Properly looked after drinks. Friendly smiling staff . Very clean pub . Lovely pub food . For a tourist based location it's surprising to see standards so high and service so friendly. Thank you .

We had a big family meet up. The pub set the table very well for ten people. The service was excellent and the food delicious, thank you.

Sad to say very disappointing. Waiting staff polite and efficient otherwise the eating experience very poor. Had venison pie with " seasonal steamed vegetables". Unfortunately, the pie was dry and the vegetables consisted of one half of a small carrot and a small cauliflower stalk. Spoke to a local couple sitting next to us who ate little of their meal, later saying to us that food there was very good on some days and awful on others....Oh, and meals are expensive. Staff, however, gave us a 10% discount once we quietly pointed out our dissatisfaction....

Went in for an evening meal. Not looking for much so picked a salad. Very nice. Staff friendly and efficient - will be on the top of our list next time we’re in Pitlochry. Needed gluten free and, whilst their menu doesn’t list specifics, the staff clearly knew what was needed and were able to point out options (and what would be changed to suit).

Went in on a busy Saturday night, wasn’t expecting to be able to get a table - however they did have a table free. Staff were all excellent, friendly and all very attentive. Food was great, table service was great - prices were very reasonable and had a fantastic chilled out evening sat in the restaurant. Would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone.

Basic pub grub which is insanely overpriced. They’ve clearly upped their prices to cash in on the enchanted forest. I wouldn’t have minded if the food and service matched the cost but it really didn’t. If you’re going to pay £10-£12 for a starter, you expect it to be Michelin standard. We waited 25 minutes for tap water, and when we asked about it we’re told abruptly that the bar was very busy. We had ordered plenty of bar drinks as well which came fairly promptly, so assume they just weren’t prioritising anything which didn’t make them money. Which kind of sums this place up.

It was our first visit,didn't eat there,drink prices were not to bad,friendly staff and good Atmosphere.

Very cozy pub, good food, dogs allowed inside. The Scottish atmosphere is warm and friendly.

Food was great. We expected the decor to be more historical, tham modern.

Amazing Sunday Roast. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We are on Holiday at Milton on Fonab. Were given complimentary drinks. Great atmosphere plenty of ales to choose from which made Hubby happy. Will definitely be back before we leave.

Great bar with outdoor seating.

Excellent food! Beautiful and delicious salad. Only tea I had in the UK made w loose leaf. A place to return to frequently.

Small, friendly restaurant. Very small bar but nice to have a beer

Such fantastic helpful and friendly staff and food is delicious highly recommend

This is a fantastic pub. From the food to the service to the atmosphere - everything was absolutely spot on. It has a great look and feel inside and out. We came to town for one night and picked this as it looked good, authentic and local. The local beer - Smitty lager - is a very clean beer and worth a pint. They have a good selection of whiskies including local ones. And lastly, the cheesecake is delicious.

Good pub with good choice of beers. Live music most weekends

Cozy pub with good food and friendly staff.

Beautiful spot, over from dublin staff were extremely nice

As usual great service, great food and a brilliant atmosphere.

Was just in for drinks but the food menu looked nice. Staff friendly and was able to enjoy few pints of my favourite beer from Orkney

Busy and noisy bar. Very pub grub, limited choice, various types of pies, burgers fish and chips and couple of others. Food was good quality.

Good service. Bad food. Poor value for money.

Fabulous pub in Pitlochry. Very friendly staff welcoming us with our bairn and two dogs. Food was delicious. Can highly recommend.

A great pub with great pub food. Service was almost too quick !

Very good food, friendly service

Not the best, not the worst. Food looks nice, but were too oily, everyone felt very heavy after.

We've only been to Pitlochry twice and dined here both times because it's that good. Between the excellent assortment of pours, plus a nicely inventive menu, this is the place to stop for discerning diners who want more than your standard fare. The servers are all so kind and friendly as well and the dining room is both modern and cozy.
