The Bruce in Falkirk

Always a good experience. Staff friendly and polite. Meals are excellent value. In the week they do a main meal deal if you arrive before 6pm. Plenty of free parking.

Excellent place for a meal, last time we were here it was the Outside Inn, nice transformation and value for money 😊👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Fast service on a busy might and friendly staff. Great price too

Staying in the Premier Inn for work and had a meal in The Bruce, the mixed grill was cooked perfectly, staff was attentive and a delight. If I'm working and staying in this part of Scotland again I will definitely come back to The Bruce for something to eat.

Nice bar staff but the food was really poor no condiments on table. The lasagne was tiny and served burnt with dry burnt garlic bread. Food came out fast but that's no bonus when it was burnt slop. The wife had a wrap held together shoddily with a toothpick rather than folded properly and the halloumi was merely shown the grill. Good price but the food was really bad.

We walked out after finding out there was a 30min wait for food. This is the 2nd time this has happened to us after booking a table so won't be trying for a 3rd time.

Grub wis spot on! Staff were accommodating and friendly sang happy birthday to the Mrs and brung the cake over was later at night and quiet in restaurant which always suits

Great staff great price easy parking great food choice

Just had a fabulous meal but the best thing about our entire evening was without a doubt the gorgeous Robyn, the lass never stopped working, was very busy and at times looked very understaffed, but Robyn was a wee trouper, ran herself ragged but always with a smile on her face. We would return here just to meet her again. Keep been you Robyn because you are a star 🌟

Gorgeous gorgeous girls eat at the Bruce

Amazing staff… very friendly and very accommodating . Food was quick after order…. And loved they had Peroni…. Would defo visit again

Well, let's get one thing straight. This pub is in the perfect location, especially for people staying next door in the premier-inn (which we where staying in). The staff are also incredible, we had went over the course of 3 nights. Every time we walked in we got a nice big warm Scottish welcome and got to know the staff. First time we walked in, was greeted by Rory. Asked us if it was our first time and explained the concept of the restaurant to us and introduced himself to us. Was also served by a lovely lass at the bar, think her name was Lucy. We tried a few different dishes over the few nights we went, all of them where fantastic, nice and hot and well-seasoned, there was plentiful check-backs on us as well to ensure everything was alright with our food. We stayed for a few drinks each night as well, practically until they where closing. It was a really nice and chill atmosphere, was incredibly relaxed. Couldn't help but notice the music playing in the restaurant included a lot of the Foo Fighters & Green day which I am a massive fan, Rory mentioned it was his playlist, one thing we have in common! He has fantastic music taste! 100% recommend this place if your from the area or staying next-door. It's sort of like a wetherspoons concept but 1000x better quality and FAR better service.

Came in whilst passing for a quick bite to eat had nachos and chicken fries then sirloin and Cesar salad everything delicious and came really quick. Jean served us at the bar she was amazing so funny and chatty and made us feel really welcome. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic Atmosphere, music in the restaurant was some great tunes! Asked for the young blonde hair waiter to turn it up and he did, this place and get very busy very quickly, recommend booking a table before you go as quite a lot of people where turned away as they where completely bursting at the seams. Food was fantastic, hot and despite how busy it was and being told there was a half an hour wait on food, we received our food quite quick. Staff where incredibly friendly and attentive.

Decent pub grub. Great value. The staff are young, attentive and pleasant - and you don't get all three everywhere these days. Bar and restaurant both pretty busy, atmosphere good. All in all, very good.

Staff were fantastic and very friendly, steaks were cooked to perfection, overall really enjoyed our night out for a family birthday due to the friendly staff we will definitely return

The Bruce was a fantastic setting for a large family gathering, and they were able to accommodate our group of 16 with only a few hours of notice, reserving a section of tables with a long bench-style seat on one side and chairs on the other. The atmosphere was friendly, and wonderfully, the music was played at a level that allowed for conversation without having to yell to be heard! The staff members were patient and kind about taking photos for the group. The food was really tasty, and very affordable! I will definitely go to The Bruce again the next time I am in Larbert.

I would highly recommend The Bruce. We had really delicious food, and our meal was very affordably priced, particularly for a sit-down meal. The staff was friendly and accommodating, giving our large group plenty of time to review the menu (while chatting) and order, then taking pictures for us before we left. They also managed to reserve a large section for our group of 16 people with only a few hours of notice. Everyone agreed that it was an excellent choice for our lunch, and I will definitely go there again when in the area.

We were staying in falkirk on part of our holiday and we came for tea on our first night and because the food and service was so good we came back for the next 3 days, highly recommended 👍👍

Amazing new menu and food was delicious! Staff really friendly and attentive too.

Food was amazing they have a lot of great deals for adults and children very comforting area, staff are welcoming and really friendly service was great and quick will be coming back for sure

Booked for dinner and notice on door stating only 1 chef working,never waited long,staff very nice and meal nice and good value for money.

This place can get busy as there is a hotel next door. In the week food is served until 7.45 which feels a little early, but could be a head office policy. What sets the place apart from other Sizzling pubs, is the staff, we ate here a few times and really got a Scottish welcome from every member of the team we encountered. Even when the pub was incredibly busy the food was hot, fresh and still presented really nicely. I think the chef on duty was Graeme, we’d like to drop an extra thank you to him.

Good food and well laid out but music was a little loud. Had to shout across the table to the rest of our party.

Very impressed, lovely meal. The place was quiet but perhaps it was an early dinner for us.

Friendly atmosphere! I have been there many times.

I’m up from the north east and I’ve literally just been for my tea. I swear down the food is unbelievable, it was literally the nicest mixed grill i’ve ever had.

Never had a bad experience in The Bruce! No frills pub atmosphere with pub classic food - don't expect Michelin star, but the food is good, and has always been piping hot when we've got it. You can order your food via the Sizzling Pubs app or the QR codes on the tables, which is handy. Both these options did start going slow when we were in, so it was quicker just going up to the bar - could have been an issue with the WiFi/connection or something. Staff have always been friendly when we're there. Definitely good to have it on the doorstep!

The Bruce has flourished under the new family ownership over the past couple of years. The service is friendly, the bar is dog-friendly and they even bring over water and treats. The food is a bargain- especially the appetizer details and there is something for the whole family. We had our son's 13th there, and the kids enjoyed pool. I would just suggest some more video games for all ages. It's now our go to spot for a fun family dinner.

Lovely meal. Staff were really nice too. Although sign on the door said there was only one chef, we didn't wait long for food. Downside, wanted to change mash to chips but were going to be charged extra because there was no option on the till to change it. So chose something else instead. Never known anywhere that charges extra to change one thing. Also, menus could do with a good clean! Small detail, but should be done before service. I do hope the young girl that was on her first shift enjoyed it. She was doing great and seemed to have a good crew guiding her.

Rebecca our server was absolutely amazing! Best server of the night!

Burgers, chicken skewers and fries were good. Curry was underwhelming, poppadom and rice were both undercooked and mango chutney was missing. If you order here I’d suggest sticking to the classic british food and you’ll get a good meal.

Had a fab lunch with family, food was very enjoyable and staff lovely to chat to. I had the giant gyros and it was amazing. Will deffo be back soon to try something new :)

Sign on the door advised that only 1 chef was availabe and orders may take more time, I ordered and was prepared to wait, however the food took just the normal waiting time. Food was piping hot and delicous, best fish & chips that iv'e had, great gammon steak. We'll be back soon. Thanks to Team Bruce!!!!!!

I love the food is reasonable priced I down loaded the sizzing pub app . We're u get your deals aswell staff are very good and chef too great place to visit

Great food and a good price. Service was quick

Went in for some food and drinks and had a lovely time! Staff are very attentive and kind and food and drinks were lovely! Great value for money

1 star because I can't give less. Cold food, cold tea, staffs bad attitude, staff lie to customers and are rude

A brilliant place for food and drinks, very hospital with a sports bar and food area.

Lovely atmosphere and the food was amazing and great quality

Great for food and drinks. Very knowledgeable about dairy intolerance. Very attentive would recommend.

Many fantastic nights out here. With singers and karaoke on Saturdays, bar staff lovely. Morgan Red on tonight and she is just amazing.

Party of 16, food all arrived at the same time and was delicious. Staff were fantastic

Great service staff always friendly and very efficient food always amazing and never have to wait long new menu really good 👍

My wife and myself love visiting The Bruce , staff are really friendly and helpful , menu is varied . Love the steaks and mixed grills are great , fish and chips , family oriented we use The Bruce for any special occasions 😊😊😊

Food was amazing, came out hot and the service was fast. Staff very friendly and polite. Would well recommend visiting here. I’ll definitely be back

Great atmosphere and friendly service

Went in for meal with friends, food was great and service was 10/10

Background music too loud. Food lovely. Prices very reasonable

Beat restaurant I’ve ever been in

excellent pub, staff are very friendly and polite, never had a negative experience while enjoying my macaroni cheese, lucy , adam and nathan are the most considerate individuals i’ve met always putting customers first and ensuring they have the most pleasant of experiences

Warm and cosy pub with the best bar staff in town. Food is also brilliant and a cool place to hang out. Dog friendly and ours felt very much at home.

Popped into The Bruce today for a spot of lunch with the missus. Very prompt service and great food at a very reasonable price. Would recommend!

This place is doing itself a disservice. Amazing choice of food, lots of different dishes a cut above the average for very reasonable prices, even without the special offers. Along with this, the quality of the food was outstanding and the description on the menu accurate to what arrives. Alas, the real let down is the service. I visited on a quiet Tuesday. No more than 15-20% full if even that much, it’s hard to tell. Ordering drinks and mains through the website / QR code was so easy and intuitive. I had to approach the bar after 12 minutes wait just to get the drinks. Then another 25-20 minutes for the mains. Then after ordering a dessert with coffee, there was no coffee, except there was, it was poured and waiting under the machine. Eventually after another wait and catching the staff’s eye a few times I approached the bar again to ask what the issue was. Don’t get me wrong the staff were so friendly and apologetic and I did get a refund for the non-delivered coffee as well as the dessert, however the real disappointment is that this place is so good, but the service has to match the quality of food. I hope this is picked up because this place has the potential to be really different from the usual selection of budget pub food. Fingers crossed.

Another cracking Steak on Sunday night cooked to perfection . Helpful friendly service and terrific value . HIghly recommended

Staff were professional, friendly and very helpful from booking my table to serving the meal. The food was excellent and well presented.

We arrived from a long journey from Nottingham, we was staying in the Premier Inn next door and was recommended " The Bruce " we arrived and was told it was a 30 minute wait for food, the staff we're very friendly and helpful , the pub was extremely busy but it was worth the 30 minute wait the food was superb, I had the mega mixed grill and my wife and the sizzling chicken , great value and great food.. well done all .

Stayed up here for a week with work next door in the premier inn. Food great, staff very accommodating and the locals very welcoming.

Fantastic pub, superb team, always greeted with a smile and great chat from the regulars and staff alike, can't wait for my next visit!! shout out to Jean and the team for always providing a great night

Waited over half an hour for the main course, then had to remind staff after waiting another half an hour for desserts. Foods great but the service is one of the worst I’ve experienced

Great meal brilliant staff always very helpful and friendly

Fantastic pub, superb team, always greeted with a smile and great chat from the regulars and staff alike, can’t wait for my next visit!! 🍺 shout out to Jean and the team for always providing a great night

First time I've been in here for years. We never had food but met up with family for drinks. 11 of us were here for around 4 hours & it was a nice atmosphere. Friendly bar staff too.

Went in for some lunch for my sisters birthday, couldn't have picked a better place, mum and dad got the fish and absolutely loved it. The chicken burgers are my personal favourites, quick service and friendly staff, good prices. Highly recommend

Place is ideal, I go most weeks. Great prices and great for kids

went here for the first time last tuesday two of my group ordered fish and chips myself was one i remember eating the fish and noticed it t did not taste like fish not like haddock or cod which is mostly used in scotland it had a sort of after taste but i thoughtit may be a cheaper variety of fish later that evening and next day i had very bad bouts of diareha the other person from our group suffered the same phoned the bruce it took 3 hours for someone to answer the phone call after complaining the manager did not want to listen to me lreceived a letter from the bruces solicitors [mitchells and butlers ] who requested a dctors report a stool sample and a laboretry report and send it to them within 10 days!!!!!? after explaining to them it takes in the region of 3 weeks to see a doctor here in scotland however they wrote back today saying in the absence of all these reports they cant conclude what might have caused my symptom and found no cause for concern relating to the food served on the day and that they hoped i would continue to visit the bruce!!!!![ i dont think so] feel there was very little done regaurding my complaint by both the bruce and there solicitors iall in all it cost around £50 for our meal lndeed they never even gave any type of appoligy this experiance shows it is a poor poor qaulity of service from the bruce hope rhis review helps and i would say to others stay well clear of the bruce! thankyou

Really enjoyed our visit for lunch, food was hot and really tasty. Staff very nice aswell and very attentive, will deffo be back! New menu was nice to try

close time says 11pm on Google, so was disappointing when we arrived to find the pub was closing at 10pm, they need to update their close times online to avoid confusion

Place has gone down hill more like a bar than a restaurant

Had a lovely meal at The Bruce! Staff are always so welcoming and kind and food is amazing, great selection from the menu aswell :)

I booked this restaurant on Monday 1st April for dinner on Thursday 4th April for 7pm until 9pm for 6 people. On the Thursday morning I got a phone call, but could not answer it on time, and had a voice mail from the restaurant stating I had booked for 9pm but their kitchen closes at 7:30pm so they could not honour the booking. I phoned back and told them that I had checked the booking and it was for 7pm but I was cancelling as the kitchen closing at 7:30pm did not suit me.

Had a private function and staff went above and beyond to make the day so.special .Two bar staff were fantastic, when the boss pops in on her day off to.make sure all went to plan .thank.you Jean.the day went to.perfection.. Buffet was just beautiful every thing .thank.you all so much for making our brothers send off a lovely special day..highly recommended.. 🙏🙏🙏✍️✍️

Great night out amazing staff thanks Jean and the team always a good time in the bruce as always will be back again love steph

Came along with friends for lunch and a few drinks. Lovely staff and atmosphere was great. Will most definitely be back and would highly recommend

Was in for drinks and nibbles with friends, good atmosphere good jukebox and a pool table

The food and service was excellent. Proper British pub food which is what is needed. Great atmosphere also in addition to efficient service.

Jean was very attentive and had great banter, great atmosphere, great prices - will definitely be back, fast service and great staff

Great atmosphere, great prices and wonderful for an afternoon drink. Excellent service and experience all round, will be back 😻

Visited the Bruce today. Great little pub . Sells brewdog punk kid said the burger was better than McDonald's deserts good to

Great atmosphere, guys at the bar are some laugh,amazing pints and never a dull moment.would highly recommend a visit.

Ok I'm getting a free pint out of this very friendly staff very helpful and go out of their way to help you only complaint they stop serving food too early

No thanks need a lot of improvement on food / atmosphere and personal opinion I would rather have table service for order

Food was average, but the place was like a nursery, kids running about all over the place and the noise was horrendous. I don't mind kids playing but this was on another level. Won't be back and wouldn't recommend to anyone.

We were up visitng family, we live in the Midlands, but I am from Stirling. We stayed a few nights at Premier Inn & the Bruce was next door. Having remembered it from it's "Outside Inn" days, I was a bit skeptical, but the receptionist...

Fabulous! I went there when I was on holiday. I had the fish and chips, fish was crispy and the chips were also fabulous. Heavily recommend

Nothing was great, the food was awful. It was cold, and not even cooked through. Two chicken tikkas came out not cooked, one of which was served to a 12 year old, and one to an OAP and they could have both had food poisoning. Not something that would be nice for either of them. We all were served our food out of turn of being ordered (we had four separate orders at the bar) and the two children had to wait until last to get their food even though we ordered it early. The kids burger was overcooked so much and left to go cold it had dried up and was inedible. The sweetcorn looked weird and even my boy said it tasted funny. They cooked another which we then had to wait even longer for, but the sweetcorn was still inedible. The rice was cold but dried out for both the tikkas, and the sizzling plate did not come out sizzling, but we didn't realise your policy if it doesn't sizzle you get the money back until we had left. The of the adults burger meat was also very cold. When we told the staff, we were met with eyes rolling, and non were really very apologetic. My step father managed to get a refund on his meal, but we weren't offered a refund on the rest. Then to add insult to injury, realised we had been over charged too! We were also over charged on our drinks the next evening after returning for some drinks after a funeral. The prices on the menus are different to what we were charged. I have receipts and photos to show this! We were told that there was only one chef in the kitchen, but surely it can't be hard to properly cook through the food and serve it hot?! We definitely won't be back, and will be leaving a trip advisor review also, warning others to steer clear unless they want to be either served cold food or food poisoning!!

A good selection of good value dishes. The ice cream sundaes are a highlight. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The staff were helpful in providing a bowl for the person in our party who was blind which saved food being spread around the table! Add New menu . Old favourites return with some new additions.

Chinese Belly Pork is amazing, will definitely have it again!

Ordered surf n turf sirloin and garlic prawns. Served toughest rump and 5 breaded scampi fries. Chicken skewers sizzling was a paper thin cremated chicken “fillet”. Food was shocking, all 5 of us. We were very hungry hence managed to grind our way through it....

Very good food and value for money

Fantastic! The fish and chips were crispy and perfect. Amazing waiters, believe it was Rory and Adam great young chaps, very happy with the service provided and food.

Food was great, service was really fast and efficient and staff are very friendly, rory & darcy made sure we where looked after the whole night and made our experience fab!

Was a great experience with my girlfriend, we ended up spending 2 hours in there. Had the most insulin on that day because the food was class.

Private function, no glasses collected, was very cramped to move about, baby changer toilet had bad smell & not clean, good time with family though felt surroundings lacking in atmosphere, struggled with baby & pram in private area. Not great menu for kids with allergys

Great place food was excellent value defo wud go back x

Good food, reasonable prices and friendly staff. But apparently I have to make this review a hundred words for some reason so I'm adding this extra bit

Great place love all the entertainment the bruce has to offer, any food i have had has been pipping hot and fresh and always get a laugh with the staff can see they enjoy there job

Good food and a nice atmosphere

Absolutely rubbish. For a pub attached to a Premier Inn, waste of time. Closes at 9 as they can't be bothered working later. Says closes atv10, that's a joke. Never seen them open after 9:15. If you get here after 9pm, don't bother. Never mind...

Been here a number of times, food and service r always good. Wine choice is very basic
