The Lade Inn in Stirling

En famille nous sommes allés à 7 dans cette petite auberge locale Délicieuse soupe , excellent fish and ships Très bon accueil , prix raisonnables Je recommande

Fantastic food, atmosphere, staff. The beer is amazing! Our annual trip, such a treat. Good sized portions. The salmon is high quality. The best steak and ale pie I’ve ever tasted. So welcoming, to the dog as well. The beer is incredible, their own brew, if you like an IPA make sure you’re not on driving duty! Just one simply isn’t enough. If you’re visiting the area this place is an absolute must visit. Great hearty food with staff who are an absolute credit to their profession See you next year

We enjoyed a very hearty meal of fish & chips and spinach and mushroom pies. The portions were extremely large and everything was delicious. The pies take 20 minutes to prepare, bur are absolutely worth the wait.

Genuinely the best food I have ever eaten. I cannot fault a thing here. Unbelievable. Beautiful views, we were able to park our van overnight, really friendly staff & great selection of drinks.

The staff here are honestly so lovely, they really make you feel incredibly welcome We came out of season so there were not many people here (great for us though!), it would be really nice to see a steak pie on the menu with a pastry base ;-) (only because it’s my favourite and I’m not a fan of the pastry topper style), we had the fish and chips and the haggis (my partner said the haggis was the best and most authentic she’s had) The vibe/feel is super traditional and really lovely, I highly recommend the Lade In for those looking for a traditional pub, with a authentic lovely vibe

Great traditional Scottish Country pub with open fire in beautiful surroundings. They go the extra mile to make it enjoyable, loved getting a small square of chocolate covered icecream with my coffee!!! Delicious 😋 We will definitely be back to try the food next time.

Having taken many groups over recent years for lunch the staff are very welcoming and the food and service is first class. Always look forward to visiting. Thanks to the Lade inn.

We often stop here for lunch. Its a cosy inn with a warm welcome. The bothy duo is a favourite as the soup is always lovely. The evening meals are also hearty and tasty. Staff are so friendy and attentive

It was Sunday night at 7.30. Service was efficient and the meal was pleasant enough. However, although it was very cold outside the log-burning stove wasn’t on - perhaps because after 10 minutes we were the only customers. It was chilly inside too. The feeling that the staff were eager to close for the night was inescapable. I expect that if we’d timed our visit at lunchtime the experience might well have been better.

We grab a drink and a bite here every time we're up in Scotland. Love this place and can't recommend it enough.

Great food and good service, we will definitely be visiting again 😁

Great bar food and friendly staff. The bothy duo is really great value for money, tasty home cooked food.

Stopped there for foods after visiting the highland cow/shop. (There’s no cows until march) 🫠 Food was okay but main star for us was the soup of the day which are cream of tomato soup. Soup felt like it was home made and not too overly sour, soup it self was smooth but still have alittle bits of onion in it . 10/10 for me. Fish and chip (haddock) was also great too really large and fresh and couldn’t fault it. I just wish there’s more Tatar sauce. Haggis ball was also good, recommend to try too if you are not a fan of haggis like me…it’s very delicious. If you enjoy this review please give me a thumbs up and a follow for more food adventures. This Would help me out a lot and greatly appreciated. 👍🛵

Had steak pie for lunch. Absolutely excellent. Best ever. Beautiful meal.

We booked here last minute for some food and drinks and we couldn’t fault the place. The food was lovely and the portion size was huge. The staff are very attentive and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. It’s a little out the way from the town centre but only cost £6 to get there. After dinner we went and sat in the bar next to the open fire which was nice and cosy.

Expensive for pub meals, if busy it can be noisy.

Always a pleasure to visit the Lade Inn.

Popped into The Lade yesterday as we always tend to visit when staying in Strathyre. Intended to sit in the snug / bar for a few drinks while the pup snoozed by the fire, but ended up ordering the Bothy Duo x2; mushroom soup was absolutely delicious and the filled baguettes were very tasty. I also had a festive gingerbread latte, which came with a homemade chocolate truffle which was absolutely gorgeous - I'd thoroughly recommend trying them if you can. The staff are always lovely and they always tend to give the dog some love and affection. The choice of ales and whiskies are excellent. Can't wait to visit again.

Tasty, straight forward pub grub, real ale, good service and a friendly atmosphere.

Dined at The Lade Inn, nestled at the entrance to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, and it's like stepping into a cozy Scottish haven. Surrounded by the countryside, the inn is surprisingly spacious inside, giving you room to breathe and soak in the atmosphere. One unique charm is their own brewed beer, which adds an extra touch to your dining experience. The service was quick, friendly, and remarkably helpful, making you feel like you're among old friends. Walking in, you're greeted by a festive explosion of Christmas decorations, setting the perfect Scottish holiday mood. To complete the ambience, there's proper Scottish folk music serenading from the speakers. Now, for the food, I opted for the steak pie. The pie itself was a treat; you could taste the ale infused into the sauce, and the portion size was hefty. The meat was tender as a Highland embrace. However, the vegetables and fries left me wanting for more flavor. Price-wise, it was just a tad above the pub average, but the overall experience made it worth every penny. If you find yourself at Loch Lomond's doorstep, The Lade Inn is a warm, welcoming stop for a taste of Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Enjoying an overnight in car park with our moho, food,drink and service in pub were excellent

All I'm gonna say is go. Go now you won't be disappointed.

Log fire great food warm atmosphee and staff very goid and so friendly. Highly recommend lade inn if you are in Calendar area.

Lovely, atmospheric pub, serving good food and some nice, unusual beers. Well worth a visit - but it is expensive.

Smashing pub, great food & a very warm welcome too. Thanks for a very tasty Sunday lunch and for welcoming our two dogs!

We popped in here for a wee drink mid way through our walk. What a great stop !!!!!. Traditional 'old man's ' Scottish pub feel with the open fire burning away, traditional Scottish music in the background and a good selection of Scottish ale's. Staff were amazing, welcoming and friendly. Thank you x

Proper local pub, all the standard pub meals on the menu. Food cooked well with friendly staff. Good local beer

Went in after a munro trip, taken straight to the table by very friendly staff, drinks on thr table in under 2 minutes of arriving, the waitress had a nice conversation with us asking how our day was. Food took about 20 minutes, absaloutly fine, I had fish, massive portions, struggled to finish the chips, freind had steak pie, again very large portion, fish was massive, main meal and 2 pints of Stella was £27, I think that's a fair price compared to some of the places I have eaten close to the lade Inn. We went in with hiking gear on, trousers coverd in dirt, the staff didn't care, some of the other dinners on the other hand gave us funny looks. Side note, to the people reviewing the lade in 1 star, if you are ignorant you will find ignorant, if you want 5 star + food, goto somewhere that's Michelin star, food is fantastic for the money.

The food was delicious and the service was great. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere

Great homemade cakes and beers including their own they sell in shop next door. Lots of seating, adequate parking and open in winter season.

Great choice to relax after climbing Ben Ledi. Friendly staff. Cosy setting

Lovely, snug little bar area kept warm by a lovely fire which the wonderful staff kept restocking. Wish we had visited earlier, not on our last afternoon. Nice end to the week anyway - thank you.

Campervan stopover. Friendly. 2 front of house staff ( owners?) working very hard but keen to please. Log fire in bar. Restaurant area less homely but clean.

It was so nice, very much enjoyed it.

I have to admit I rarely give 5* to restaurants as there is always something wrong, either with a food or the service. My evening was pleasant from stepping inside the restaurant, warm welcome from the Staff, good choice of table by the Staff, good service and friendly manner from the Staff also. The food was amazing. When I say amazing I mean 5*. Myself, who does not a fan of haggist I loved the starter haggis balls with the tasty whisky sauce, my burger was also very tasty and filling, and I tried the chicken goujons in battered coat and OMG the best chicken goujons I ever had. This place truly amazed me in every way. You guys made my day. Thank you 👏

Very nice people, excellent food, beautiful live music in the weekends, A place you feel home and want to go back!

Worst Pint ever! Couldn’t drink it! Used to visit this pub and also buy beer from the shop years ago when we lived nearby and it was fantastic. Sadly no longer. My husband had a pint of Waylade which was very cloudy and apparently tasted pretty awful. He complained to the waitress who said to the barman and relayed back that it was always cloudy! He couldn’t drink it! We waited ages for food as did the other customers despite it being quiet and then my husband’s prawn baguette was less appetising than one from Greggs and had no garnish, salad or finesse. The waitress did try to help with gluten information and options and I settled for a burger with a GF bun but it came as exactly that - no butter, no sauce, no garnish. I declined the offer of boiled potatoes instead of chips and asked for a small cup of soup instead which she obligingly got after some deliberation ( hence the one star). When I went to pay I took the beer and explained that my husband found it undrinkable and the barman just shrugged and presented me with the card machine!!! If we hadn’t walked from Callander, we would have left after the drinks and I wish we had and just remembered how great it used to be! I almost never leave bad reviews and we had great meals out while in Callander fir 9 days but sadly not here and will never return or recommend this place as we had done previously.

A brilliant place to stop on the road up to the Highlands. Real fire, friendly staff and well-priced pub food. Our dog was made welcome too.

Si vous voulez manger dans un lieu typique, vous frappez à la bonne porte. Le personnel est très accueillant.. Restaurant-pub cosy. Cuisine soignée à base de produits locaux.

We were very warmly received and the food was excellent!!!

Fine off road establishment. The Haggis was excellent, others had a wide range of meals. GF options were available. Service was good, drink merry. The inside was everything imaginged in an old stagecoach inn.

Sur le retour de notre voyage en Ecosse, nous avons mangé dans ce restaurant et c'était très bon. Le décor était sympa et le personnel très sympathique. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant.

Great food & staff polite would recommend 👍👍👍

To be honest when I saw the decor I wasn’t expecting much but was very pleasantly surprised. The man who served us was friendly and the food was delicious. Would recommend

Had a wonderful meal here and good beer.

A lovely welcome, post a great, but very damp walk with our dog on the (old disused - now a walkway Callendar- Oban railway line.) Good clean loos. Restaurant was warm and comfortable. Seating (comfortable too) and service was very prompt. Food piping hot. It's not the Ritz, ( and if that is your bag - turn right at the road end, and head south for 434 miles.) But it's a good country pub- restaurant, with friendly staff and decent food. We've been regulars since lockdown eased and have never had any negative service or experience. Highly recommended!

We ate at the Lade Inn recently and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. the crispy haggis balls were a real treat. We had the dog with us and were made to feel very welcome, a little treat for the dog was really appreciated. The service was particularly good, table service for drinks and food and the staff were very attentive. We are looking forward to returning.

Always worth a visit , great food , great beer , great service, fantastic place 😀

Very sparse menu and strange host - spoke very loudly and quickly. There were three of us, two had starters as our mains were the Steak Pie which would take 20 minutes to cook and diners were advised on the menu to order starters while they waited. The Prawn Cocktails were over £9 each and were very poor - tiny prawns with rubbery texture and the “Marie rose” sauce was weirdly watery. The Steak pie was only average and priced at £16.50 with a few frozen chips and some vegetables. A very small draught (or possibly poured from a bigger bottle) lemonade cost a ridiculous £2.25. The place itself was dirty with flies both living and dead. We went there as the reviews appeared favourable - I have no idea why…

They were really busy when we went in, but the little side part as soon as it emptied the lights got turned off which was a bit strange as very early still. Meal was nice nothing too special, had starter and main.

Servicio rápido y amable. Comida casera y muy buena

Great place I accidentally stumbled across due to a road closure! Spent a bit of time browsing the extensive Scottish beer selection on offer in the beer shop, amazing selection really. Highly recommended. I will be back!!!

Super petit pub restaurant en pleine campagne écossaise, on a adoré!

Can't fault this place. The service was excellent. Very attentive staff and amazing delicious food.

We had called in earlier in the day halfway through a walk with the dog. We all welcomed by the staff and enjoyed a couple of drinks. Place looked very welcome so we booked for evening meal again with dog. Upon our return different staff but same good welcome with dog biscuits for our little dog. Food was excellent Haggis Bon Bon’s to start and smoked salmon to follow we both had steak and ale pie which was exceptional. Nice craft ales available. Really lovely place and excellent value for money

Sticky tables. I had haggis neeps and tatties but the ratio of each component needs a rethink. It was decent enough but nowt to get excited about.

Tables sticky(wiping process defective). Had to "pull" the napkin off the surface! Handsome fireplace, well illuminated but seriously let down by the accumulated dust and unpolished hanging copper based pots and nicknacks. It was sad. Chicken goujons! In a batter but very very brown. Twice cooked ? not a successful look nor any taste of interest. Chips: Poor quality potatoes. Coleslaw: When buying in coleslaw at least be sure its "fresh". In all: a plate of food carelessly prepped, with no interest how it might taste or look. Sadly it matched the general poor quality of some Scottish/uk restaurants/pubs. Staff seemed content and unabashed with what they served. Heyho must remember to settle for a simple freshly made sandwich and just stop by the tree lined attractive river.

I already came here in 2019 and I had such great memories of the place that I jumped at the opportunity to visit again. I found great food as always (real scots and typical dishes), cosy atmosphere and the best welcome from the staff. Everybody should definitely come and pay a visit.

Lovely spot for a quiet pint in the beer garden after waking from Callander. Locally made craft beer was very refreshing.

What a fantastic experience the venue was lovely and the food was fantastic. Large portions of delicious food, served by lovely people. Plenty of food awareness around Gluten and a great selection. Will be back, but will miss breakfast the next time and finish my lunch

Great service, even better meal. The icecream is a must for dessert

Restaurant très agréable avec jardin. Carte simple l'essentiel est la ainsi que la qualité Haggis traditionnel copieux et l'un des meilleurs que nous ayons mangé. Prix dans la norme. Personnel accueillant et souriant. Adresse a recommander

Rural pub with Great service, great food. Highly recommend 😊

Great find! Excellent craft beer (it has a real ale shop too for locally brewed beer) and lovely food that is really well cooked. There is some muzak but it was very quiet and not intrusive. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Se equivocaron de plato al servirnos y nos dieron otro que no habíamos pedido.Como cortesía no nos ofrecieron nada, ni disculpas.

Such a fantastic mushroom pie and mash! Chips were delicious too and a lovely selection of ales. Service was so warm, welcoming and friendly.

Very busy, quite a few groups were turned away due to it being full - Luckily we had booked a table, which was someone that we would never had to do when we used to come 10 years ago, but it's a sign of the times 🙂 The menu seemed smaller than I remembered it being, but we all managed to get something we were happy with. Staff very nice and friendly

After been let down by another restaurant which closed without informing us after we had a booking we were warmly met by a very friendly waitress who showed us to our table and took our order. Our luck was in as the waitress informed us...

Food was good although the chicken goujons batter was very greasy/hard at the ends meaning the chicken was very moist which my teenage daughter was not impressed with.Also not impressed with the £1.50 price of the dash with the £3.20 vodka🤷

The staff were lovely. Initial greeting seemed a bit cold, however the other gentleman and lady were very polite and made sure we were well looked after. Shame about the table next to us. 2 ladies deciding to comment on the issue with certain races within the community and commenting on our family right beside us. But as we aren’t reactive it didn’t require causing a scene. Was just a shame. Chicken was nice, Scampi as well was lovely. Haggis was not a “drizzle” of sauce, rather drowned, which was a shame as it took away from the enjoyment of the dish. But overall it was a good experience. Just the food could have been described better on the menu.

We decided to try this place for lunch as part of our road trip through Scotland after seeing the good reviews on Trip Advisor. True to the previous reviews, the food here was excellent, (fish and chips & with haggis, neeps and tatties). The customer...

Fantastic food, great service & fab atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend. We visited for dinner. We’re met by friendly welcoming staff who provided excellent service along with delicious home made food - would thoroughly recommend the haggis, Neeps & Taties!

Beautiful Scottish pub great service and very dog friendly

Food was lovely but a little over salted.

Great little pub delicious tomato soup. smoked Salmon. Spaghetti was the tops.

Lovely place with great food. Haggis were superb, I highly recommend it; excellent customer service. During our one week stay we were returning to this place several times and we have tried most of the dishes - all of them were delicious. Although we did not make a reservation, we got a table for eight each time.

Pretty place and very good food

What a lovely welcome to this pub we hadn’t booked so had been lucky to have a table. it also has it’s own beer how fabulous. My husband had haggis starter he enjoyed this very much then he had the pie I had fish and...

Bon petit restaurant sans prétention mais typique . Peu de plats à la carte mais le haggis est très bon...

We had haddock + chips and steak pie. Lagers, a scotch ale and a local whisky. It was just perfect! I mean everything: The best fish n chips I ever had in my life, the steak pie my wife had was unbelievably good. Perfect service, super friendly staff, relaxing, cosy and for all that not expensive at all. I can not recommend it enough.

Just stopped in for a sandwich on way north. Very friendly place .

Best steak pie I’ve ever had. Waitress was excellent and very easy to chat to. Couldn’t fault the meals that we had.

This is a traditional and relatively simple kitchen situated beautifully. We (4) were received gently though arriving late around 9.00 PM for dinner even though alraedy guest empty. Thank you. The vegan/vegetarian options were not really represented. I opted for the Steak and Ale pie which was a mature dish which was the best on the menu (picture). The others had to leave their pasta unfinished..

Very simply u will not get better food surroundings and customer service than here anywhere in the world. It is without question the best steak pie I have ever tasted.

We stopped for dinner as we passed last week and were very welcome by all the team. The server was very attentive to detail and very pleasant. We noticed she attended to other customers in a similar manner to each person's personal preference. The menu was small, this keeps quality high and consistency. The Sunday roast was absolutely delicious and the starter was perfect too. We were too full for dessert, but the desserts menu was very apealliing. Overall a delightful experience and would definitely return. Recommended to all, location ideal. Parking facilities and wheelchair accessible for those who wish to dine there. Brilliant food, vibrant atmosphere and a great team of staff who work coherent with each other. Top class. Thanks to all the staff 🙌 10 out of 10 service

Very friendly staff, food was very good had the haggis battered balls, steak and ale pie absolutely amazing would highly recommend this place

Great, much improved on 45 years ago !

What a difference from our last visit. Met with pleasant staff orders taken quickly and lovely pub food arrived promptly.

We walked here from Calander and had a great meal. We both had the home made steak pie . It was delicious with good quality tender beef. Then we both had pudding. I particularly like real Ales and the Lade Inn specialises in this with their own range. l can recommend if you are a real Ales fan you take the time to visit.

This was our 5th visit. Travelled from Edinburgh for their Haggis Tatties & neeps in whiskey sauce, deeeelish 👌 mum had scampi & gave it the thumbs up. The service is soo friendly & accommodating. Dog friendly & the location is so blissfully peaceful. Well worth the journey & we'll be back again.

I have fond memories of the Lade Inn when it seemed to be in the Gastro Pub league, now it really just seems to be catering for the tourists passing through Callander and the Trossachs with your standard pub fare. That's not to say the food that I had wasn't good. The haggis balls were lovely and the steak pie was jammed with steak and a lovely ale gravy. The locally made ales on offer are very good, so worth a stop if you like your beer, A tip is to call ahead to book as it can get busy with bus parties.

Nice place to stay in the campervan & good filling food with local beer & cider

We had the Haggis balls, lentil & carrot soup and fish & chips. All were delicious, and the atmosphere was very welcoming.

We ordered Hagis, Steak Pie and Wild Mashroom Pie. Everything was delicious. Prices reasonable. Time to serve acceptable. Unfortunately WiFi coverage is bad. Doesn't work outside at all and also inside disconnects and works extremely slow.

Lovely place to sit outside in the garden on a sunny evening. Food perhaps on the pricier end of the local pubs but very tasty, portions worth the money and the staff were so kind and friendly that it really made our visit a pleasure.

A lovely spot with a beautiful garden and really friendly staff.

Lovely pub, great food and the staff are very friendly and polite. Would definitely recommend and we would return. Five stars ⭐️

Really enjoyable Sunday dinner. We visited early Sunday evening. Didn’t book, but whilst busy a table was found for us. Quickly provided with our drinks, and we didn’t have to wait too long for our main courses, which were a Sunday lamb dinner. Nicely cooked...

We ate here twice on our week to Scotland, the food was great, I now love haggis. Staff were very friendly and attentive but not too attentive.

Good spot if you want to enjoy yourself in the sun and have a beer or two and maybe going for something to eat 🙂
