The Drover's Restaurant in Perth & Kinross - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I had an excellent g/f steak pie and mash. The veg was so fresh, I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch as did my husband who had the regular steak pie and chips.

We have visited Crieff regularly and this is the first time we have eaten here. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. This restaurant offers a true Scottish Breakfast which is a rareity in many Scottish towns. Food was great and served promptly. Only niggle was the quality of the link sausage! Will definitely return here for the full 10 piece breakfast. My wife and son both enjoyed the 5 piece Scottish breakfasts. Afterwards we browsed the Crieff Visitors centre then Caithness Glass next door

Great selection of meals Snacks cakes Friendly service Suitable for all ages reasonably priced Highly recommend

We had some lovely food and a helpful server filling and ideal on a cold day. Busy and popular venue big car park easy access good prices.

No need to worry this has plenty of choices with good service as well. Good coffee and food. We all liked it

We just happened upon Drovers near Crieff, Scotland. Quiet place were family could talk and share about our family heritage. The food was a hit for all ages in the family: steak pie, steaks, hamburgers, plus Mac and cheese. The service was excellent - friendly and pleasant. Would love to go back

A remarkably good restaurant for such a type of place. Menu changes with the season, but is always fresh. I had the steak and haggis pie - a lovely puff pastry pocket with a layer of haggis and large chunks of succulent beef in a wonderful gravy. Unfortunately, the veg were totally tasteless, but I’ll forgive them that for the excellent quality of the pie. Coffee was also good.

Came here with my mum when we were visiting the Caithness Glass Factory and just made it in time for the 11.30 curfew for the breakfast. You can choose from a small, medium or large and you choose what you want in it. Also do haggis which is not available everywhere and just completes a cooked breakfast in my opinion. A bit dearer than our usual breakfasts in Lanarkshire but thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice and clean with plenty on offer and a fast and friendly service.

Popped in at 11.30 on a quiet Monday. Fancied a bacon roll ( i could smell the bacon). Nope, couldn’t get one - breakfast stopped at 11.30. Absolutely ridiculous. In this day and age surely we should treat customers a bit better

This venue is literally like entering a time warp. The architecture and design is like stepping back to the early 1970's and modernisation has been avoided over the years. The loos were spotlessly clean and door knobs reflect Caithness Glass output from yesteryear. All the staff were very helpful, positive and trying hard to accommodate foreign tourists with their lunch requirements. Sandwiches were freshly prepared and well filled. Steak Pie appears very popular and this venue attracts mainly passing tourists. Saw little evidence of indigenous Scots eating lunch. We enjoyed our lunch and free car parking in a large car park outside was a big draw over the town centre. Management was active and we will return. Coffee is also recommended.

An excellent well priced menu with adjoining interesting shop. Adjoining Shop sells designer clothes, miniature bottled drinks, ornaments and jewellery. Soemething for everyone.

Too many tables seventeen in fact left uncleared. Not that busy so should have been done. Not a good impression.

Very good choice on menu from full meals to lighter bites such as baked potatoes, toasties, paninis and soup. Great selection of cakes for that wee treat as well! Very spacious seating area, don't feel packed in at all or rushed. Attached gift shop and garden centre is well worth a look too. Staff professional and friendly.

Lovely place for a comfort stop, a visit to where you find a timeline of the area and how the “Drove” roads came about where they started and end up at a market. There is a gift shop for those who like shops. The restaurant is where you can get just a tea or coffee or a meal from wholesome product.

Decided to stop here for something to eat and break the journey. We both opted for the BLT sandwich which turned out far superior than we had been anticipating. The bread was lovely and everything was very fresh.

Stopped off here for coffee & cakes after an aborted visit to the Caithness Glass factory (disappointingly it was shut !!) Service was slick & offerings good. Nice shops also available on site,

Not long arrived, stopping off for lunch on our way to Aberfeldy we were disappointed to be told that there was no steak and haggis pie left, appreciate that they have been busy with a number of coaches today. The best bit was not the cold soup but being directed to the microwave, strategically placed in the middle of the restaurant, to heat it up himself, that got my husband’s ire up. Concluded that they are in the habit of serving cold soup! Mac Cheese and gammon were lovely.

This large restaurant/cafe manages to offer really good food at decent prices. At this time of year, the Xmas special meal is thick slices of really good, tasty, moist turkey, served with all trimmings. The veg even have some texture to them.

Visited with our dog while in Crieff - the owners are very welcoming, especially to our wee Westie! The spicy tomato soup was lovely, and a very good espresso.

We stopped here after visiting Cultybraggan Camp. It is just on the outskirts of Crieff and has plenty of parking with a simple walk to the restaurant. It is self service and for hot meals self order. When we arrived there was along queue for service but the waiting did not take long with everyone served very efficiently. The food was excellent with good portions and it has a really nice ambience, all very enjoyable.

The Drover's Restaurant is a long established facility. It forms part of Crieff's Visitor Centre and provides near motorway service style catering. OK if you do not have high expectations.

This is throwback to a transport caff Food reasonable but overpriced and as a review must have 100 characters it's a poor throwback

Primera visita para varios lunes y nos pareció bien vale la pena visitar. Las comidas eran de muy buena calidad y una buena relación calidad-precio.

Over priced food in the 70's motorway style restaurant, designed in the 70's and stuck there too! The Drover exhibition is room at the back of the centre and is a hidden gem and goodness only knows why they don't publicise it more.

Cenamos aquí a menudo y la comida siempre es buena - no fallar nosotros en nuestra reciente visita. Bocadillos eran repletos de abundante y el macaroni es uno de los mejores que he probado.

Para el almuerzo y detuvo estaba muy agradablemente sorprendidos por la variedad y cantidad de comida disponible. Servicio rápido y agradable. Relación calidad-precio es buena y el tamaño de la porción generosa. Incluso tienen bebidas alcohólicas disponibles para aquellos que no conducir. Dos platos principales,...

We planned to have a day touring and shopping so we needed to stock up well for trials ahead! We arrived at opening time for the breakfast menu and weren't disappointed. Lip smacking tasty was the Drovers special and it certainly kept us going until afternoon.

Went in and had a breakfast toasties, quick and friendly service. Food was quick to come out and hot

We visit Crieff every year and always visit the visitors centre whilst popping into the Christmas shop and Caithness Glass Factory.The cafe here is fantastic. Always spotlessly clean and the staff are lovely. Today we had scampi, haddock in breadcrumbs and steak pie. They were all delicious, freshly made to order and presented nicely. No greasy chips here, food was lovely. Fresh cream cakes after were brilliant too. Can't wait for next visit!

On our visit to Crieff Visitor Centre and the Caithness Glass Factory we enjoyed a nice light lunch in their Cafe, lovely fresh food nicely presented. Service is excellent and the place is spotlessly clean, bright and fresh. I will certainly be back

Great for dining, fast and fresh. Then off to the shop, a great stopping place. We always make a point of stopping as the shop has a wonderful selection to offer

This is a buffet style restaurant which serves vistors to the Crieff Visitor Centre, the Caithness Glass Factory & the Stewart Crystal Shop across the road. There is a good selection of meals including a children's menu.

We always stop here, to break a long journey but, saying that, if we were staying nearer we would be in more often.You will find The Drover's Restaurant at the Chieff Visitor Centre, which is well marked.Take advantage of the Loyalty Card Scheme there because you can get reward points with your purchases in the restaurant and other places on-site. Other offers are available, apart from points.The food is, I suppose, typical Scottish fare - there is a varied menu to choose from. Depending on what time of the day we arrive, some visits sees us we eating more than other times.There is an outdoor seating area for nice days. Staff are always friendly but whoever is in charge of staffing numbers would do well to take on a few extra because the girls/woman work their socks off ... as do the kitchen staff, I dare say.

It's been a few years since we were last here and decided to pop in for something to eat mid afternoon on a Sunday. The restaurant feels like it's trying to move away from the cafeteria tag it has and is doing that successfully but still has some way to go.However we were really impressed with the quality of the food we ordered. John had ordered gammon steak and neither of us could remember the last time that gammon he'd had in a restaurant hadn't been the processed thin slice of gammon but this was a beautiful deep and thick cut and the presentation was great and it was piping hot upon arrival. I had a chicken salad and the portions were huge, well done to the chefs/cooks.The staff were all friendly and very helpful but there is still that feeling of being in a fast food place and that is something that their cooked meals are not as they are made up of fresh ingredients and cooked to order!

The staek pie and drovers burger where superb,we would definitely eat here again when we are next in the area

The Drover's Restaurant is a great stop and we always pop in en route further north. It gets a lot of locals in, which is a good sign. We have always found the staff helpful and the menu varied. You can combine a visit with popping in to the adjacent visitor centre shop and museum; Caithness glass shop; antiques area; and garden centre.We always take advantage of our Loyalty card and, even though we are not able to call in many times a year, it all adds up and it well worth being a card holder.

A group of us stopped here for a meal in the summer. Although busy, we were served quickly and with a smile! The food was good too. If you are passing this way, do try it. It is on the Muthill road into Crieff so you won't miss it. There is a nice shop selling Caithness glassware next door as well as the visitor centre shop. I would recommend.

We have been lucky enough to have had half a dozen stops here this year - we call in as we go to and from a holiday destination. Whilst visiting the Restaurant, there is lots more to occupy you on this site - Visitor Centre & Gift Shop; Drovers' Museum; Antiques Corner; Caithness Glass; Buchan Pottery; Garden Centre; plus a couple of other places.There is wheelchair access to everywhere and plenty of parking. This is a footpath off the car park which you can use to stretch your legs and that of your canine, if you have one.We always enjoy the Restaurant - its menu is varied and very reasonable. Staff have always been friendly and helpful. We feel our holiday really starts once we sit down in the Drovers. We took advantage a while back of getting one of the Centre's loyalty cards - you get points in several places on site and they all add up and then you can have the money taken off a purchase there ... every little helps.

Good spot to relax after shopping! Tea options were great as wetre the baked treats. Easy access from Caithness Glass

Was delighted to find this excellent and sensibly priced restaurant! Had a massive slab of apple pie and cream whilst the wife had a lovely cheesecake. Good size portions and extremely reasonable prices. Staff polite and attentive. Well deserving of top marks.

We have been lucky enough to make it up to Perthshire three times this year and, each time, we make sure we stop at the 'Drovers' Restaurant' at the Crieff Visitor Centre. The staff are always friendly and the food/drinks are very reasonable indeed. Locals and visitors alike appear to think the same.There is a loyalty card at the Centre .... points to be gained in the shop, restaurant and garden centre on-site. Even though we are only visiting a few times a year, we have found it well worth having a card.We always make a point of visiting the adjacent Visitor Centre shop plus the small antiques/art area and Caithness Glass section which is opposite the entrance. There is also a small Drovers' Museum, which is worth at least one visit.The toilets are always clean and the whole area is wheelchair accessible.

Again visited twice this holiday,all the family enjoyed the food so much!will go back next time we are in the area

Enjoy a hearty meal. I've been there a few times now and have never been disappointed. For once it's nice not to have to work your way through an endless menu.

When we stop at 'The Drover's Restaurant', it is en route north or south and it is a great stop for us whilst on a long journey (living in Essex). That said, it is obvious that the restaurant enjoys a good local clientele-base. The food is very reasonable; the environment is light & open; and we have always found the staff friendly. The Restaurant is within the Crieff Visitor Centre site .... the Centre offers a Customer Loyalty Scheme and we have found this very beneficial and we are not visiting that often. You earn points every time you spend in the Shop, Restaurant or Garden Centre - and they can be redeemed in the same places or exchanged for Gift Vouchers.

Give it a try. Good food, friendly helpful staff and relaxing atmosphere. There is also a good shop with plenty of memories to take home with you.

We have often stopped here, en route further north. They do two sizes of the 'Drover's Big Scottish Breakfast' which we thoroughly recommend. We have always found the staff very friendly and helpful.They appear to have a good, regular customer base of locals (always a good sign) but then they probably have other people like us who can always guarantee an enjoyable visit whenever they are in the area.They do hearty breakfasts until 11.30a.m. and good lunches after that like Haddock and Chips & Chef’s special Steak Pie. Then there are snacks like sandwiches, Panini’s & soup plus Scottish afternoon teas. There has always been a good selection of cakes to go with coffees and teas etc :-), if that's all someone is after.The restaurant is inside the Crieff Visitor Centre, which is signed on the A822 - on the southern side of the town of Crieff itself. Access is level, which is good for wheelchair users and anyone with mobility issues. The restaurant area is very roomy. There are toilets on-site (with lovely 'Caithness Glass' door handles!). There is a large car park and they welcome coaches (they they recommend booking with the latter).
