The Byre Inn in Stirling

Had a terrible experience here. I booked this place for my partners 30th birthday meal (which I stated when booking) weeks in advance, however we arrived to find the pub was shut, despite having my booking confirmed and it stating online that it was open. I rang the number, the doorbell and knocked the door as I could hear people inside and was completely ignored, however as we were leaving the owner came out after a van arrived and a very suspicious transaction occurred. I asked the owner about why the pub was shut and that I had booked for my partners birthday. He was not apologetic in the slightest and told me that I should have received a text or email informing me it was closed, which I hadn't!! I would advise avoiding this pub at all costs as they do not care about the customers at all.

Went in for a drink after a hike - the place had a cool atmosphere. Sadly, only store bought produce for regular prices was available due to a “delayed” delivery issue. In addition, there is a lack of consistent pricing, as I was charged £42 for 4 cans and a wine whilst previously we were only charged £21 for 4 cans. This was possibly an accidental double up price due to an assumption that we hadn’t paid when in fact we did. However, when I tried to call and enquire about the overcharge I was hung up on. Then I asked in person and was told to email later on in the day with details instead, as he couldn’t look into it at the time. Yet, I was given no email address to use and none is available on the website. After research I managed to find an email from an old article however I have received no reply and have now left the area with no resolution :(

The brightest time of a very rainy day, we got at the Byre Inn a bit earlier than expected due to the incessant rain, we got a very warm welcome from Jason, the Landlord, had a few drinks and a friendly chat, made some new friends and ate the best steak I had in a long while! A gem of a place, if you're in the Trossachs, be sure to visit the Byre Inn !

Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff and the chef cooked our meal in a pizza oven which made it so tasty even after the place was fully booked he knocked us something up last minute just as a favour. Can’t wait to come back😂

Due to a problem in the kitchen... the end product wasn't cooked to their usual quality. So they claimed. We were told to come back tomorrow, all we wanted was a simple pizza tho.

The sign calls it a gastro pub with real ale. We had a very average pub lunch,soup, sandwiches, and there was very little on offer as regards real ale. Also very annoying music. Not one that we would be in a rush to visit again.

One of our favourite places as it has character in great wooded setting. They have added a yurt in last year which I think somewhat spoils the quaint outdoor setting that was perfect in summer with outdoor seating in good weather but I can see the requirement for shelter when we have so much rain. However, I think that this gives the site a hippy feeling and the tent possibly a damp smell.

-Das Essen war ausgezeichnet -Ein besonderes Ambiente- wird man nie vergessen -Sehr freundliches Personal

Beautiful place, awesome welcome great people! Great selection of drinks and beer. A place you can’t afford to miss 🤩

Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Man wartet nicht lange, bekommt direkt ein Getränk angeboten und das Essen war gut. Geschmacklich war es nicht ganz rund, aber gut. Nach einem Tag wandern ist das eine gute Möglichkeit die Energiereserven wieder aufzufüllen.

Super accueil, très convivial super soirée

After a walk from Strathyre to Callendar we drove to the Byre for a stop off. The manager was warm and friendly. We had an interesting chat and he made myself, hubby and little dog very welcome. As did his partner and a member of staff who brought his little Jack Russell along to meet us. They played our music requests and we felt so relaxed that we stayed until 5pm and had something to eat. The food was good and just what we needed after a long walk.

Stopped by here for lunch with my partner by chance as we were passing through after going up Ben A’an. We live in the New Forest so love a quirky country pub. Enjoyed the food, which was locally sourced (another thing we enjoy). Also loved the music being played from behind the bar and there is the option to add your own requests. Imagine it would be a great place for live music/evening entertainment if you’re staying in the area.

We popped in with the dog for tea on a Thursday night and it was great.

We were cycling for three days in Scotland and landed up at Loch Katrine for lunch however after being treated somewhat miserably to say the least at the Steamship cafe we headed on to find somewhere else.

Went for a romantic meal based on the previous reviews. Massive disappointment the interior was like a factory canteen. Bare wooden tables which were really sticky. No menu on the tables, you have to memorise what was written on the blackboard. Blackpudding bonbons turned out to be marble sized and rock hard. Boar burger was an assault to the taste buds. Intergalactic lager smelt and tasted like wet old socks, the recommended 'Hoppy' beer was undrinkable. Half way through the evening they started playing Italian/Spanish operatta at full volume. The exterior of the Byre was derelict, the grounds were overgrown and weeds everywhere. Don't waste your time or money here, it's gone down hill since the last owner.

We called in one afternoon to check out the menu and liked what we saw. We booked a table for the following evening and were told we would have a table beside the open fire. On arrival the fireside tables were taken and we were shown to a back room which was dreary and needed dusting and a coat of paint. The menu was limited but interesting. All the dishes we ordered were excellent and very reasonably priced. Congratulations to the chef! All drinks were overpriced. The waitress was delightful. She made us feel very welcome and was efficient and helpful. She was on her own serving and worked very hard, constantly moving in and out of the kitchen and checking out all the tables. The barman was an eccentric extrovert and the eclectic music very loud, so this really wasn't the place to come for a quiet meal. When we went to pay there was no itemised bill available so we were unable to check it.

Read some great reviews so decided to book for lunch whilst on a week long break at Strathyre Forest. The pub is in a lovely location and is somewhat quirky. We were given a warm welcome by our Barmaid/waitress and told the menu was on the wall! A very limited choice of burger, fish, curry or sandwiches was available. I went for the burger and my wife had soup and sandwiches. The limited choice was understandable given it’s the type of place where a dozen walkers could suddenly descend upon . The food wait was very reasonable considering it was fairly busy and not many staff on. Unfortunately the wait had to be endured feeling like you were in a disco at 3am with music blaring out at a ridiculous volume. It just didn’t go with the setting. Food was fine but one gripe for me, the drinks prices. £3 for soft drinks a £5 for alcoholic ones, that’s it! When you’re driving and your two soft drinks of a small lemonade and a lime and soda costs £6 it makes the nice food you’ve just had have a somewhat tarnished taste.

We chanced upon this delightful Inn whilst touring Scotland and were looking for somewhere reasonable to eat dinner.

On a Sunday they have a limited menu, soup, roast and a dessert. No coffees. Many people did not stay on learning that they could not have a hot drink or that if they wanted food it had to be off the Sunday menu and they just wanted something simple such as a sandwich. We had the roast beef and roast lamb and both were really tasty.

A big thanks from Lady & Mist for the free burger for Lady’s birthday!😊🎉 Nice rustic quirky cafe/pub/restaurant. Great food, decor, music and staff. Lovely walk from Callander along banks of Loch Venachar.

A quirky pub, very cosy inside with rustic decor, nice real fire and great daytime pub food. We loved it!

Meal was awful .think they must have got it from a cheaper freezer shop.I had a beef curry didnt taste like beef didnt taste like curry. sent back uneaten and still charged for it . The only good thing about m.y visit was the coffee ' the man can make a good coffee

Arrived on a busy afternoon but we were able to get a table and advised that food would be a little while (25-30 mins), fair enough.

We were taken here by friends. The Byre Inn is in a lovely setting, small but comfortable. They also have a large yurt outside for larger parties or to cater for more diners. The menu is provided On a blackboard above the fire. Small but adequate for most people, it does not cater to vegans but I’m sure they would if asked. The drinks are stated as being £3 for soft drinks and £5 for alcoholic drinks. We asked for 2 white wines, a gin and a soft drink for our first order. We were given two small glasses of wine. Our second order was a small glass of red wine and two glasses of white wine, we were then given two large glasses of white wine and told that this was their standard and small was to be requested, so why were we given small on our first order? Not a complaint, just an observation to ask for large glasses of wine if you want value for money with your alcohol order, as it is the most expensive part of the meal. Nice place to stop off if you are in the area.

The place is nice! Great people. I like the rustic atmosphere that the pub has. The food is nice but It is expensive. Nice deserts and burgers. The burgers are nice but it is nothing special.

Pre booked for a birthday lunch. Was told table by the fire in bar was booked. Looked at menu online before to check suitable -lovely. All set for a lovely lunch. Actually all set for a huge disappointment. Came in and our table was busy so shown through back. Not the same setting and not suppose to have dogs. Waited for menus and realised the 1 starter/main/desert wasn't the specials but all they had... only a red meat roast or nut roast. We had 3 not read meat eaters and a nut allergy so they had no options. I asked 3 times could something not be made sand which, chips, pasta was told no with absolutely no apology. I mean they fronted this up like we were being ridiculous to ask.

Starter du din vandring rundt om Loch Vanacher fra Callander om morgenen passer det med frokost på The Byre Inn. Her er du ca halvvejs på vandringen. The Byre Inn er et hyggeligt lille hus, hvor indretningen oser af skotsk hygge. Super venligt personale. Vi anbefaler helt sikkert den hjemmelavede burger. Absolut prisvenligt, under 25 pund for to personer.

Arrived here on a Sunday, early lunchtime. Really limited roast dinner menu ... most of which was unavailable ... ended up only choice was gammon or pheasant ... no beef, no lamb, no steak pie .... considering the menu was so limited to start with, it wasn't even 1pm, it was a disgrace ... and it still took them ages to serve the same veggies, a couple of slices of tasteless gammon, and used the same gravy on everything!! Whilst we waited at least two tables of people arrived, waited, got fed up and left.

Lovely place, Friendly Staff, opening times are not mentioned, but generally... Call the tel 01877 376292 for Breakfast and they'll gladly oblige. .. Otherwise they open 12 noon to 12 midnight. They have a YURT for parties, or sitting 50 people with a Wooden Stove. Dog friendly inside and Outside

Excellent place to stop for a meal and a pint. Feels like your local pub when you walk in and will definitely impress you with it’s very varied menu and high quality food. The music is good too.

Sunday menu very limited - red meat (lamb, beef or gammon) or nut roast. A few of us don’t eat red meat and as wife is allergic to nuts, so nothing to eat other than soup starter (only one option). Hungry and a bit disappointed they wouldn’t do anything from their larger Mon-Sat menu, especially as there 9 of us.

Excellent food. We had starters of goats cheese and another of black pudding bonbons. Mains of tasty fish and amazing burgers. Real chips were delicious!

We were staying at a nearby property and used it 3 times. Strange pricing policy on alcohol and a lack hand pulled beer and Tennants lager meant our choice was limited. Hopefully the delivery driver has now turned up !

This Pub advertses itself as a Gastro Pub and lives up to the description. The menu is varied and caters for everything from a sandwich to and cooked meal.

Great atmosphere with fire and cosy bar. Sunday lunch was very expensive with beef closer to sandal than meat in texture. Tables dirty. £42 for 2 Sunday mains, 1 red & 1 G&T;.

Used to love this place which served great food. Was extremely disappointed with the latest visit under new management.

Great moment, the manager is very friendly ! I really want to come back here ! I find this pub during my road trip around UK. It’s a lovely place for backpackers !

Visited on a cold snowy day , open fire was welcoming . Sunday roast was disappointing . Would not rush back

Crowd of us in recently. Great spot and welcoming for many of us who'd travelled a bit of distance. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Very decent homely fare and a good selection of scoops.

We come here regularly and today looked forward to our chips and hot chocolate. No chips...on a cold wintry Sunday, how short sighted . The £5 for warm milk and a flake that the spoon got lost in the glass while trying to dissolve the flake is a disgrace. It still looked like milk and tasted nothing like hot chocolate. Beer expensive, modern decorations and music have ruined what was one of the few old rustic pubs left in the area that was always good quality food( great chips!), reasonable value and very welcoming. Very sad, wont be coming back.

Great little pub /restaurant in a forest by a loch , serving real ale and good food. Great music and friendly staff , what more can you ask for on a freezing night.

We called in for a late light lunch as the nearby tearoom was closed. Byre Inn was warm and welcoming with a great atmosphere if you like old fashioned places. The cheese and biscuits, coffee and soup we had were all excellent and not long in coming. Being on a walking trail it's a pity that the inn doesn't offer snacks such as scones or shortbread. I didn't like the music which was decidely un-traditional, but not too loud in the back room away from the bar area. We were delighted that an inn in such a rural location was open on a winter Friday afternoon and were glad to support it.

We stopped off here after walking nearby for a drink. There was limited real ales on tap so we opted for a hot drink. I went for the £5 hot chocolate thinking that it must be really good st that price and it’s made with real chocolate and cream. I was somewhat disappointed to find it was some warm single cream with a couple of Cadbury flakes added to melt into the cream.

I had high hopes for The Byre Inn when we arrives, it’s a lovely wee place. It’s cosy inside and dog friendly which is great. We (myself, husband and Mother in Law) stopped in for a Sunday roast, which was a bit pricey but we were happy to spend more for a freshly cooked meal. I was so disappointed when the meal arrived. It was over cooked, bland and the meat rubbery (I suspect a microwave was involved...also in part due to the speed in which the meal arrived).

We went and ended up staying all evening as the place was so warm and welcoming. Board games, roaring fire and the most hospitable and great staff. We ended up coming straight back the next day for a delicious roast. Stuart and Jason are both incredibly warm and welcoming hosts. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Just finished a five mile hike nearby and decided to visit here on the way to Callander. Thought it might be shut as everywhere around was quiet.

Six of us turned up with three dogs. We were overjoyed to find it open out of season. As we had recently had breakfast we did not eat just had hot drinks but still was still made very welcome. We were impressed with the quality of the facilities and saw a very nice state of the art kitchen. We will definitely go back to eat.

After a wee hike, what a brilliant place to eat/relax. A group of us (a pretty disorganised bunch I have to admit!) descended upon the inn and greeted with friendly smiles and super helpful (and patient) staff. Food delicious, brilliant gin menu and fab atmosphere. Will definitely return on our next trip. Thanks guys!

Haven’t been in since this place changed hands ..... terrible “techno” style music playing.... more suited to a rave than a country pub ! Only two choices of beer & a good bit more expensive than before

Exactly what you want after a chilly day in the Trossachs : super friendly staff, a roaring fire and great food! A wee hidden gem worth seeking out. Thank you to the Byre Inn for looking after us! We'll be back.

Been lots of the times over the years and always loved it. Was closed during our holiday last year so this year we were pleased to find it had re-opened.

We pop in here whenever we're up in the Trossachs

Absolutely agree with all the positive comments here. We were on a bike ride in the incredible Trossachs countryside and what a bonus it was to find the Byre Inn half -way around. The place oozes charm and character and the hosts Jason and Sharon were extremely welcoming and friendly. The food was lovely and it has one of those special atmospheres that seems to bring the other visitors together. We will certainly return and can't wait to spend more time at the Byre Inn next to the cosy wood burning fire!

Beautiful place, gorgeous building and amazing food!

Party of four, evening meal. Drink expensive, £20 for a bottle of house wine, and local beer cloudy, sour tasting. (Was told "it's meant to be cloudy ...."). Food, limited menu, which would have been fine, had the food been ok, but, generally, it wasn't. Battered fish soggy, but tasting ok, burgers dry and overcooked, lettuce and tomato in a dish is a disappointing salad, no dressing offered or available, no sauce, pickles, dressings available for the burger. So, generally very average. Serving staff unable to deal with a quietly made comment about all the above, just a shrug and a sorry about that. £20 per head.

£10 for two small cokes and two even smaller bottled waters. Really? The people running this place are perhaps not quite as clever and funny as they think they are.

We had lunch here after a wonderful cruise on Loch Katrine. All in our large party loved their food. My burger was the most special of all I had on our trip. The service was great. The atmosphere is cozy and pleasant.

Husband and I were at Callander for a day out and popped along for lunch as was here on a previous visit with a group of walkers had had a gorgeous lunch with a roaring fire

The pub is very welcoming with a roaring fire, small friendly dog, candles outside lighting the path and candles on the tables. There is a good sized parking area and lovely walks nearby.

Wow great food drink services music atmosphere staff location and most of this place is unique.Cant wait to be back cheers guys

Came accross this country pub on a day trip through the trossacs. Manager was very welcoming and played music of our choice. Sunday dinner was of great quality and the hot chocolate is to die for! Lovely and cosy inside, a real country pub. Will definitely come back!

Visiting with a group of friends - all local residents. Bitterly disappointed by the experience. Service was appalling took 1.5 hours for food to arrive despite pre-ordering for the group. A member of the waiting staff was incredibly cheeky and did not take any of our complaints seriously and made inappropriate jokes to an already frustrated group instead. The food was expensive compared to competitors in the area and the room was cold. My food was ok but although I have a small appetite I left hungry.

After several visits earlier in the year when great food was served, an organised meal for a party last Sunday was a painful (and expensive) reminder of what can go wrong in a short period of time. Food was no comparison to those earlier visits; poor quality and exceedingly slow service. The management of The Byre did itself no favours by disappointing our group of local residents

The Byre used to be a favourite stopping point on weekend walks. What a disappointment now. Hugely over-priced both for food and drink, a slim menu of dull food and a badly stocked bar, empty shelves in the fridge. Intrusive music and surly staff. We will not be back while the current management is in place.

Visited while staying in Brig O’Turk on holiday last week on recommendation of our hosts.

Wij hebben een reservatie gemaakt voor 6 personen 2 weken op voorhand. Alles was in orde geen enkel probleem. De dag zelf nog gebeld dat wij iets later gingen zijn ook geen probleem... maar bij het aankomen om 8:15 was de keuken gesloten! 15 min. te laat en daar sta je dan met 6 personen! Totaal niet klantvriendelijk heel erg jammer !

Op alle sites staat dat ze tot 21h of tot 23h open zijn. We bellen nog een half uur op voorhand en we komen toe om 20h15. Plots is de keuken gesloten. Geen eten meer gekregen. Belachelijke service :-(

The road notice board boasts great food and drink all day every day. 1 pm warm Tuesday only soup and sandwich. Thin onion soup with bread but no bread served. Ham sandwich - film thick ham ; inch thick bread. 2 drinks £30. The reader can come to his: her own conclusion. Spoiled an otherwise splendid day. We witnessed several other couples enter the Inn and we watched their crestfallen faces when told soup and sandwich only. Should have left. A pity, for the location is splendid thus a great opportunity for a great wee bothy like hostelry.

I recently visited the Byre with friends from England (5 adults / 1 teenager). There was a nice fire in the bar. We were the only people there aside from an older couple who looked subdued.

This should be a gem this pub. Idyllic setting, atmospheric old crofter cottage. It has every reason to be a fantastic destination. Unfortunately the current management arrangements are a shambles. The place has been left to a bunch of sullen young folk to run like a club. When we visited there were no ales on tap and no bottles in the fridge. The craft lager was also off. The music was far too loud as well, so no one would be comfortable eating inside. It was a complete joke. Please sort this place out - it too important an institution to run down like this.

Abbiamo cenato con un ottimo hamburger, scelta limitata dei piatti da menù ma interessante. Cara rispetto alla media la carta dei gin

This delightful little pub is set in a country/rural aspect, and is situated at at Brig o' Turk, between Callander and Loch Katrine.

World class service, the friendliest bunch of people you will find north of the Scottish border. Food was impeccable, they have some great chefs there.

Excellent evening meal with attentive and friendly service. At the end if the meal went into the bar for drinks and had a demonstration by the guys behind the bar on how quickly they can cross from one side if the pub to the other by the rope hoops on the ceiling if the bar. My god you wont be disappointed once you gave seen it done!

Lovely welcome, local gin and whisky, and lovely Scottish food - well worth a visit 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’ve known the Byre Inn over several changes of owners during the last 15 years. The locals used to ironically but aptly call it ‘The Dire Inn’ bevausrthe food and service were so bad.

Having cycled nearly 12km from Callander along some of the most beautiful lochside views, my 2 daughters and niece (12, 7 & 6 yrs old) had earned a good lunch and refreshments. We know the Byre Inn well and have been a few times over the years, however was stunned by the prices! A cheese sandwich (& chips) for £10... a hot chocolate for £5.... i have never ever seen a hot chocolate for that price even in London. I was nearly going to pay it as we were so desperate and the Brig O Turk tea rooms have closed down! However when I saw the state of the empty fridges and then the Tesco 1L orange juice used for my niece’s soft drink was a mere £3... I stopped myself. Talk about taking advantage of a captive audience. So I ordered 4 soft drinks and 3 packets of crisps for a measly £15 and thought I’d been let off lightly. The loud music inside was quite pleasant outside as it didn’t deafen you.

Stopped by after visiting Loch Katrine and had no idea what to expect. The premises are very quirky, rustic and authentic. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Not an extensive menu, but there were also some specials to choose from too. We went for fish and chips and burger. Whilst we were waiting, if I'm honest, my expectations were quite low as the interior is very basic and the music was quite loud and I did feel like I was in some sort of hippy hang out BUT the food was lovely, fresh, locally sourced and just very tasty, so that TOLD me. Yes, prices may be slightly high, but you are getting what you pay for here and we would definitely return. Thanks for our lovely meals today.

A risotto that was in faintness excellent for £15, a burger that was below par for £12 then a GandT and glass of house Red another £12. Grand total £39. Makes for expensive pub food. The place had a Strange smell that didn’t help the ambience.

We stopped here for drinks and some chips and were very disappointed at the exorbitant prices.

Found after a trip on Loch Katrine. Easily found and parked. Great beer on offer. Lovely food and all of it REAL! My daughters chicken goujons were better than the ones I make. My Cullen skink soup was brilliant and the others fish and chips looked fantastic. Great lads serving - polite, friendly and informative. We will return as it’s only 40 minutes from home!

Popped in for a drink and some lunch, and had the best meal of our holiday so far. Husband is so hard to please and he loved every bit of his fish & chips! The place is really interesting and different. Would highly recommend a stop!

Quaint setting, friendly staff and good quality food at fair prices, with a good range of drinks, this is the best eatery in the area and out of this world on a dry or sunny day. Roaring fire and cosy bar area, quieter dining area adjacent and of course outdoor seating all with excellent service, also offering bicycle hire and bike paths off the main roads.

Attractive little inn, easy going and attentive staff.. A well executed simple menu made out of Fresh products, service that goes beyond friendly served with an eclectic mixture of music.. a must if you are in the region... we’ll be back!

We went as it was near to our accommodation, but what a gem. The roast beef was cooked to perfection and the wide selection of vegetables where a wonderful meal of themselves. All four of us agreed the quality, taste and presentation made this our best roast beef ever. The parfait and the cheese board did not disappoint either. Definitely going back again before we have head home.

This is a great little place, just a shame it is so remote as we would love to visit it more often. Lovely pint of real ale to wash down the best ever home made burger. If you are in the Trossachs area then you should seek this place out - you won't be disappointed.

Friendly and helpful staff, great pub grub at a fair price. Dog friendly and all that a country inn should be. Really nice vibe about this place. Music is good too. Worth a visit.

We found the Byre Inn by random chance while we were looking for the bicycle tree in Brig o’ Turk. We saw the people sitting outside and thought that it looked like an amazing place...then we ate there, and just fell in love with it. Food was yummy, the staff were cheerful and attentive, and the setting was just spectacular!

We initially came for the lamb shank only to be told that it hasn't been on the menu for a few months. The inn was nevertheless so inviting with a fire going and a warm greeting and amazing oldies but goodies music that we stayed. Definitely no regrets, the food was freshly prepared and sooo tasty. My husband had the venison (which came with red cabbage, carrot purée, haggis bonbon and fried mashed potatoes) and said that it was one of the best he's ever had. I had a "simple" burger, which had a slice of tomatoe, good pickles, perfectly cooked rare beef, oignons, crispy bacon and melted cheese. It came with a great salad with about 6 varieties of greens... To die for.

Great staff, and undoubtedly the best meal I've ever eaten! Lovely location, gret choice of top wines, quality whiskys and real ales.

Popped in after a hill walk with a few mates. First impression was that it had a bit of a well deserved spruce up. Ordered at the bar and decided to open a tab as we intended to eat, that was our first mistake.....the prices in this place are horrendous. The bloke behind the bar went into overdrive trying to justify the quality of the burger, to me a burger is pretty much, well. a burger. Anyway he was far too intrusive and needs to learn when to back off and leave customers alone. Drinks also massively overpriced, loud pop music being played. For me and my mates an experience not to be repeated. Funnily enough we bumped into a couple of well heeled holiday makers who were staying in nearby upmarket accommodation.....their thoughts echoed ours.

Visited the Byre Inn at lunch recently whilst on holiday at Tigh Mor. Had a great meal. and will definitely go back again. Friendly service and good food in a very tranquil setting. Highly recommend a visit

We’d been for a bike ride and popped in for a pint. Nice welcome, staff friendly and welcoming. Loved the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference (cocktail of the day Pangalactic Gargleblaster)

Try the Cullen Skink with black pudding crumble! Delicious and Filling. Tables under the pines. Friendly and efficient service. Well worth a detour.

My husband and two friends cycled here for lunch today and were disappointed. The beer and food was expensive, we all had fish and chips small portions, expensive and nothing special, and several of the tap beers were not available. The bill came to £79 for three pints of beers, three fish and chips and three coffee. Even the service was a bit off-hand.

On a few days cycling in the Callander area, my wife and I stopped here on the offchance of a pub lunch. WHAT a surprise! Excellent beer and fine-dining quality food, at reasonable prices. This place has a top quality chef, imaginative and inspired. This is far better than "gastro pub" food.

I dreamed of finding somewhere good to eat with good beer, Gin and Tonic choice and good music on a tropical afternoon.... and then 😁😁😁

Byre Inn, the hidden away gem in Callander which can be reached by car or on foot. The surrounding area of the Byre Inn is very peaceful and brimming with life. The outside space is very nice and the exterior of the Inn looks very well kept. The inside is fantastic and so is the welcome, on our 1st visit we met Charlie & Jakob, two bubbly personalities and very professional at the same time. The menu only had a few choices but every dish we tried was very nice and tasty. The bar had a very good selection of beers, lagers and Gins and the Inn has bar seating and a restaurant for fine dining.

We've stopped here for drinks twice in the last month...and I have absolutely no doubt we'll be back again very soon.
