The Croft and Creel in Falkirk

Atmosphere, ambience, warm,friendly staff and fantastic food .

Just had Sunday lunch. Outstanding!!

Very good price-performance ratio, tasty food, excellent friendly service in a nice atmosphere. Top!

This is now the fifth time we've been here and never been disappointed. I love lobster and my husband loves his steak. Every time, cooked to perfection. Lovely friendly and efficient staff . We'll definitely be back

Lovely last minute evening out, food was delicious, Service was great, Will come again Thank you

Fantastic restaurant! Local produce, amazing bread, super fresh, fillet steak was cooked to perfection as was the scallops, mussels and lobster, mellis cheeses were fab! Only gripe was that there is no beer on tap for hubby, wine was good though! We will be back!

Enjoyed so much last weekend our party of five went back for the Lobster Thursday. Not disappointed on our second visit, lovely food and great service. Will be going again soon as we all loved it and most of the menu can accommodate those that require the gluten free option

Fabulous food and great service. The tuna was devine and scallops were super. Great cheese board too.

Seven of us had dinner to celebrate my Uncle's birthday after he loved it so much back in September 2023 for my 50th. Six of us had starters & we all had mains from the set menu - everything beautifully cooked & presented. Lovely wine recommendation too from Giovanna. Definitely my favourite restaurant in Falkirk, friendly but unobtrusive service & amazing choice & food 🥩🐖🐟🥔🍞🥓🦐🍽🍷

The was a first visit and I loved the look of the menu. I remember this restaurant from growing up so was keen to see what the new owners had done with it. My first impression was the decor could do with updating. The starters were nice but a little bit pricey with the mussels being £10 for a very small portion. We had steaks which I couldn’t fault as they were cooked to our liking and well seasoned. Although not outlandishly priced I think if I were to go back I’d try the lunch menu which looks to be better value. I feel that my rating is a little harsh as it is more than 3/5 but not quite a 4/5 but there was no option to rate 3.5.

Absolutely delicious. Food was truly gorgeous. All the service was with a smile. Would 100% recommend. Great value.

Delicious food and wine with very attentive service. Definitely recommend.

Still the Best Restaurant in Falkirk

Fabulous food. Leans on a menu with good seafood options but offers not if seafood not your thing. Can also phone ahead for off menu.

Just returned from a superb family meal to celebrate my mother and father in laws Golden Wedding Anniversary. There was 14 of us and every dish was first class. The service was great, very attentive. Will definitely come back and would recommend to others.

Had our works reunion there which I organised. From the outset the entire staff were fantastic. The 8 of us all thoroughly enjoyed our food, which although was „fine dining“ was also plentiful and very well presented. Service was „on point“ not too fast, not to slow, and glasses were rarely empty for more than a few moments. This was my third time here, and I’d say this is most likely the best dining you will find around Falkirk.

We found this by chance as we were staying close by and what a find the food was absolutely delicious, I had mussels for starters and I think they were the best I’ve ever had would definitely recommend

OMG Got treated by our neice and what a treat it was ! Lovely Atmosphere! Very Attentive staff but not in your face ! Food was Amazing ! Would definitely recommend and can't wait to visit again 😊

Wonderful restaurant to have a meal in food excellent and the staff were so friendly and welcoming with the exception of one chap who just didn't seem to be happy at all tried to chat several times with him but got a very chilly response. He may just not be the chatty kind, but it did not deter from the fantastic night we had. I would highly recommend it

Lovely friendly staff. Food was very good and reasonably priced. Drove passed at first as it’s situated above other shops.

My friends and I are visiting from the states and this is the best meal we have had. 2 of us got the steak and shrimp. My other friend got the ribs. The service was wonderful as well.

Me and my partner have been here several times now and once again have had an outstanding evening at the Croft and Creel. Excellent food and equally fantastic service. Easily the best place to eat in Falkirk and would give any of the top restaurants in Scotland a run for their money.

Booked for wife's birthday on 4th May 2024, excellent service, food was amazing, my wife loves cullin skink, Jack Daniels glazed pork ribs were melt in the mouth, we both had sirloin, scallops and black pudding, all cooked to our liking and perfection. Normally we would have had dessert but we were so satisfied we didn't want to push it. Thank you Croft &Creel we will see you again soon

Have been meaning to try this restaurant for ages and finally managed it…. so pleased we did! Food was delicious (and filling). The chicken was tender with great Mediterranean flavours. Husband said the breaded haddock was as good as he’s had ( and he’s eaten a lot of breaded haddock !) crème brûlée and chocolate dessert were fab! The service was warm and friendly! We will be back!

Great meal, every choice from our party of 3 was first rate. Highly recommended

A great selection of delicious food mostly with a traditional Scottish vibe. The Romanian wine we had was also excellent. The dining room has a great vibe but is unfortunately located on the 1st floor up some very steep stairs with no lift so not accessible to all.

Best meal I've had in Falkirk by far! To be honest it was off my radar, we travel a lot over Scotland and are very critical about food, weve eaten in best restaurants that Scotland has and this was up there with the best, well done guys, we will be back, cant believe there is a place 1 mile from my house that I've overlooked so many times. We had family over from America and the same story from them.

Lovely traditional restaurant in Falkirk on the first floor. Entrance from the front or the rear car park leads to the restaurant via a grand staircase! Restaurant set in a lovely property. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has a lovely cosy feel. Food was delicious! Highly recommend the Goats cheese starter and Chicken liver pate starter The steaks were delicious! The cheesecake dessert went down a treat and the delicious liqueur coffee did too! The staff were really warm and friendly. Table booked in advance Great meal - thank you

The set menu has very few choices and not nearly as good as sample menu online The rump steak was tastless. Chicken and black pudding terrine was tasteless and seemed over processed. It wasn't expensive

I came here for my pals birthday and this will be the last time I do, the plates weren’t washed properly and the food was cold

We went for Sunday lunch, I had the split pea soup, and roast beef, he had prawns in garlic butter, and roast beef, all the dishes were delicious very generous helping, service was great everyone very friendly couldn't ask for anything more

As always a lovely meal with exceptional food served. No steak tonight but the dishes were all to die for. Great service and hospitality too

Nice service and delicious food.

Always a good experience. We’re made to feel welcome every time we visit and the food is of the highest standard. We love it - and so will you.

Outstanding food, not cheap but very good value for money. Looking forward to our next visit to try something else.

Friendly, quick service, great quality food, would definitely go back.

A warm and welcoming family restaurant with fantastic food. Thanks Giovanna.

Great lunch venue! First visit to this restaurant today where we partook of the Christmas lunch menu running throughout December. The food was excellent and well presented. The Cullin Skink starter was delicious. One of the best I've tasted. Service was very good. We will return!

Visited for a Christmas dinner with our friends. We all agreed that it was amongst the best we have had, especially the turkey main course. The service was excellent, attentive but not overbearing. We will make a point of returning in the new year. Thanks for an excellent evening.

The Croft and Creel are a wonderful restaurant in Falkirk that I didn't even realise was there. Nestled between busy shops on Grahams road, their welcoming stairwell leads us up to beautiful and simple rooms for dining. Attending a Christmas lunch, I got to see some beautifully presented dishes. I myself had the traditional fayre of Turkey with all the trimmings, so many that there was even a very welcome addition of haggis. Others had beautiful plates with lamb and some had delicious steak. The desserts were magnificent. The chocolate mousse was the best I'd ever had. Other options were boozy Christmas pudding and a giant wedge of cheesecake. I almost regretted ordering the mousse. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, we all felt very welcome. I would completely recommend booking a table with them. They are a hidden gem, situated in Falkirk, just waiting for you to discover.

We enjoyed a lovely celebratory dinner last night at this amazing restaurant. Staff are exceptionally friendly and professional and the ambiance is welcoming. We enjoyed the gurnard, venison and fillet steak all cooked to perfection and the menu caters for all tastes. We had a great experience. Thank you!

We went for the Beaujolais Nouveau supper, it was great. Food choices were appealing and the food was delicious, service was efficient but relaxed and the wine was fab. And a special mention for the immaculate toilets! The only slight negative was being overcharged on my card (no chance of seeing the total as he took my card and tapped the machine without showing me), it was only 50p so I'm not bothered, but we were already leaving a 12% cash tip, so slightly galling! It was our first visit, but won't be our last.

This was my first visit. I hope to return soon

Great food great service very reasonable prices

I had the cod and crushed potatoes. This was a bland plate of food! No texture on the plate No flavour on the plate At £21 before sides this wasn’t value h G or money Shame, the starter was delicious

Absolute perfection, the food, the service, value for money. Everything is perfect. So rare now to find a restaurant where the food and service are top notch but this definitely is one. We loved it.

Truly delicious freshly cooked tasty food. Excellent service. Highly recommend. It's somewhere you go to see what it's like then keep going back

What a great find really lovely food, great service and a lovely little family run restaurant

10 of us dined for my family 50th birthday meal on 2nd September, faultless service which was friendly & attentive but never too much, most of us had starters which were beautiful ranging from mussels, seafood platter & goats cheese salad. I had the roe deer & haggis wellington which was beautiful, other family members had lamb, steak, seabass & chicken. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal & are still saying how beautiful the food was. I was surprised with a birthday cake after our mains had been cleared away so we all had a slice with teas & coffees, my tea came with milk & a slice of lemon which I thought was such a lovely touch! We had wine & beer with the meal, the home baked bread is always to die for & I'm sure we got twice as much as we were meant to! It was our first time back since moving upstairs & changing from Pierre's but can certainly see that it's still as great as always & THE place to go in Falkirk for a special occasion, will need to come along for a Sunday roast soon!

We visited for Lobster Thursday and it was absolutely amazing! Scallops and ribs for starter and then we both had half lobster with steak for main. Dark chocolate mousse and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. All of the food was incredible- the staff were so lovely too! Will definitely be back

Excellent food. Sampled fillet steak, halibut, sea bass and duck. Enjoyed the red primitivo wine

Nice food in a relaxed local environment.

Had a lovely dinner here, lobster was fantastic. It’s a shame that it’s not busier to give a better atmosphere but the food & wine delicious.

Had lobster and steak. Very appetising. Good and varied menu. Pleasant surroundings.

Cucina e accoglienza di tutto rispetto. Piatti particolarmente elaborati e gustosi. Location particolare. Da provare se si è in zona.

Lovely restaurant. Feels like you are going into someone’s flat when you arrive but I think it adds to the atmosphere and makes it more personal. The staff are lovely and are super helpful. I had the scallops to start which were perfect then the...

Was here last night . The food and everything else was fantastic and excellent value for money . I'll be back again !! Would highly recommend it !! Thank you !!!

Absolutely faultless from start to finish - superb, thank you!

We had the best Sunday lunch today there was a great menu and the food we all had was amazing Would highly recommend for the best Sunday lunch

Just back from a wonderful meal for my husband’s birthday. We had been told in advance there was a Thursday lobster special. What a treat. The delicate garlic butter sauce was perfect and an Ian Mellis cheeseboard with the fab Monbazillac finished off the meal....

What a wonderful find and thanks Tripadvisor reviewers for the recommendation. As good as all the other reviews say it is. Superb food and fabulous service at a great price.

Quality food, excellently prepared. Everything was absolutely beautiful, we were a table of 10 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal.

Meal was fabulous it was to celebrate my son win his MMA fight.

We managed to get a last minute booking, which was unusual and lucky! Served quickly, we pondered the menus over a lovely bottle of Italian red wine. We chose to go straight to mains and desserts, skipping starters. Ordered a sirloin and a ribeye, with...

We regularly dine at this restaurant and it has become a favourite with us over the years, always outstanding food and service second to none. Last night we went for lobster and were not disappointed, best ever . Starters and dessert equally fabby. Best restaurant by far 😀

I can't recommend The Croft & Creel highly enough, after bringing my parents here for a Father's Day meal. The staff are welcoming and friendly, the service is prompt, and the food is exceptional - the Al La Carte menu in particular represents excellent value.

First visit to this lovely little restaurant. We had the Sunday Lunch menu 2 courses with drinks £56 It was excellent value. Cullen Skink and Ham hock croquettes were superb . For the mains I had the Roast Beef with all the trimmings which was...

We all had fabulous meals, duck and pork as main courses, all perfectly cooked with fantastic flavors. The black pudding accompaniment to the pork added a delicious contrast. The deserts were all equally great, lovely flavor and finish; thoroughly recommend the chocolate sponge with chocolate...

First time visit, we went for the steak and lobster and Cullen Skink soup. Both were terrific, will certainly return this time to try their Sunday roast.

We had two meals from the set menu for lunch. The food was fresh, tasty and portions were good. We were sadly too full to manage pudding. Great value for money. The restaurant is nicely decorated and staff were friendly and efficient. Will definitely return,...

We weren't fancy dressed some patrons of the place made us feel uncomfortable

Couple with young daughter, don't get out much but every time we get a babysitter, we try to get booked in to the Croft & Creel. Quite simply the best dining experience in the area. Beautiful fresh food, real feeling of fine dining food without...

First visit was for Sunday lunch, food was delicious service impeccable, place was spotless will certainly return and have no hesitation in recommending

First vist to the place , 4 of us went , 3 had the roast beef and 1 breaded fish , all tasted brilliant. Would definitely go back there if I'm up that way again .

The best food in Falkirk! Mussels to start, duck for a main and the most beautiful trio of creme brulé to finish. Superb service and, whilst a little more expensive than other local restaurants it really was worth it!

Lovely fresh food and good service. Just like local restaurants used to be and should and can be nowadays, but they are so hard to find in the UK. Good selection on menu. The Cullen Skink was excellent ! If I was to be picky,...

We were personally greeted as we entered the restaurant and taken immediately to our table. The service was excellent. Food was excellent. Friendly atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend & will be back. X

Having not been for a long time, our fault! We visited the croft and creel for lunch today, absolutely fabulous, black pudding starter, chicken and haggis terrine, salmon and confit duck. Service spot on. Absolutely recommend. A Falkirk gem. Julie Hugh sneddon.

Great steaks and wonderful scallops! This lovely restaurant has been our treat place when we’ve visited our mum in Falkirk. Great food and service! Wonderful value!

We have passed by on multiple occasions & never tried it out. We decided to give it a go & glad we did! Excellent menu accompanied with a specials menu. The service was efficient & the food was excellent. We will be returning & would...

It's located in the noninspirational part of Falkirk, but the food was just fabulous and service was brilliant. I'd recommend it to anybody who enjoys gourmet cuisine

We have been to The Croft and Creel several times for dinner and have been to their steak and lobster nights. We recently celebrated our 7th Wedding Anniversary at The Croft and Creel and had the Chateaubrand, absolutely amazing! This is our go to restaurant...

One of the best Scottish restaurants, very good food, if you want really good Scottish food and service then this is where to go, and also affordable.

This place is absolutely incredible! Having lived in Falkirk area all of my life, I have visited most, if not all of the restaurants in the town. This is easily the very best I've been to. Well worth a visit. An absolute gem. The service was excellent, the atmosphere warm and cozy, and the food was truly amazing. My friend and I had the parmesan tart and the mussells to start, then we shared the Chateaubriand option for main, then shared the creme brulee trio for dessert. Food was cooked & presented to such a high standard. Steak just melted in the mouth! Staff were also so friendly and accommodating. Hope to be back again soon. Thank you Croft & Creel! Keep up the fabulous work!

Sadly overrated and not to the expected standard, plus very quiet for time of year . Might be better to try when the seafood menu is back on. REPLY - Regarding the owners reply this was mid December when most places are full

I popped in out of the blue on a Saturday evening without a reservation and they were more than happy to accommodate my needs at such short notice. The Cullen Skink was incredible and the Duck that followed for main course was delicious. You get...

Had lunch yesterday. Food was delicious and service was excellent.

Visited tonight and food was AMAZING! No need to go through to glasgow/edinburgh for a top class meal , croft & creel totally delivered . Staff were so down to earth & welcoming , was out 1st time & we will definitely be back!

Wednesday evening meal. Welcoming friendly staff. Good choice of Scottish bottled ales. Food was excellent! Highly recommend!

Enjoyed everything and quality of food and service was excellent 😋

My wife and I have been going to the Croft & Creel (previously Pierre’s) for years and it is consistently excellent. We regularly dine out locally and in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and for quality of cuisine, value for money and service, the Croft & Creel...

Lovely place, great food great service... lovely staff. Top notch we will be back soon. Great to have thus wee gem in Falkirk.

Tasty food using excellent local produce and offers a personal approach to dining with a varied menu . Set menu was excellent value .

Had a fabulous dinner with the staff from Placebo hair on Saturday 17 Dec. Starter of Cullen Skink was fabulous, Roast Duck for main excellent. Everyone at the table enjoyed the beautiful selection of meals available. Fantastic place to visit for an excellent meal served by very friendly staff.

We are regular diners at the Croft and Creel but we visited in the evening for a Christmas Dinner. I had hot and cold prawns for a starter and a main course of Sea Bass with crushed potatoes and vegetables and salsa verde. My wife...

This is easily the best restaurant in Falkirk. I've never been disappointed in the several years I've been eating at Piers/The Croft & Creel (under the same management) The delicious menu is changed regularly so you never get board and offers something for all tastes. This is a hidden gem of a place.

A lovely meal staff were amazing and relaxing atmosphere would definitely recommend and would return

First time visiting the Croft and Creel in Falkirk and what a treat. The food was amazing. We opted for the Xmas set menu and weren't disappointed. Hubby had the hot and cold prawns and I had the mini Chicken Kiev both tasted amazing. I...

Best meal in a long time. Food, service and decor was second to none. Staff very attentive and polite. I would definitely recommend.

A friend recommended this restaurant to us and I’m so glad they did. The food is of a very high standard my steak was cooked as I requested. The service was very good nothing is too much trouble and very friendly. It was our first...
