The Milk Barn in Falkirk

Lovely stop on a Sunday for a quick bite. I ordered a lentil soup and it was delicious. It came with a hot crusty roll. Hubby had a sandwich which was also delicious. 2 lattes and a cake. All served with a smile. Highly recommended.

We’ve visited The Milk Barn numerous times with no issues since it first opened. However when we visited this week before the schools went back as a treat for the kids., we were met with a very bad attitude. And that was from the manager! When you first enter the restaurant there is a stand which will either have a sign telling you to find a table, or a staff member. When we arrived there was neither, instead we were faced with a manager mouthing off about how stupid customers were because they were just standing at the front door and not just finding a seat. What she was unaware of was that there indeed was no sign, her staff had piled bits and pieces on the stand instead. So there was no clear indicator to tell us what to do. Instead of asking us to find a table, she started mouthing off to her staff, all of which turned to look at us, as well as the people in the restaurant already. We were planning on staying for lunch and an ice cream for the kids, instead I spent as little as possible for the kids and we sat outside. The manager ended up serving us and couldn’t have been nicer, the kind of nice when you know you’ve done something wrong but are faced with the person you were rude to. I sent a complaint into the Facebook page and was ignored, then when I messaged again I started receiving messages from someone pretending to be the owner. Having had conversations with the owner Susannah before, I asked to arrange to come and meet the owner to resolve the issue. This was continually ignored confirming that someone was indeed pretending to be the owner. I’m assuming this was either the manager that caused the issue or a random member of staff trying to hide the situation. Whatever the case, it’s surprising and pretty shocking that this is how they are acting and dealing with their customers. The owner used to care about service. It’s a shame as the milk barn used to be very good with okay service, it was never amazing but wasn’t this poor. To have staff try to cover up a complaint by pretending to be the owner is pretty unreal but based on the conduct of the staff when we were there it’s not completely unexpected. If you end up visiting I’m sure you’ll have an okay time, the foods okay and the ice creams good, it can be quite expensive for what you get. But god forbid you stand at the front door and wait for a member of staff to do their job and help you find a seat as you’ll be embarrassed and ridiculed for it. I’m assuming my complaint will continue to be ignored and brushed under the carpet, I’m sure they are regulated by someone but I’ll be posting a complaint through the owners front door to ensure she’s aware of what her staff are doing.

Fabulous choice of gf food. And the gf ice cream cones are in sealed packets. The girl serving even put on new blue gloves to hold the cone and was careful to explain which were not gf. It was delicious

Been here quite a few times and always enjoy it loads. Fabulous selections of ice creams, so so nice. Lovely toasties and paninis too and great coffee. Lovely setting

We stayed at an Airbnb nearby and visited the Milk Barn 3 times in our 4 days in the area! Lovely food, coffee & ice creams. My boys enjoyed the bouncy pillow, swings and we had a football with us to use with the net. Lovely scenery around the farm. Yes, food is a tad on the pricey side but eating out is these days? We had breakfast here the morning of our journey back home - the portions both adult and Children’s were big! The ice cream portions/scoops were also generous. It’s a good job really I don’t live locally otherwise I would have no money and be the size of a house!!!

I visit the milk barn at least once a week . Mostly for a take away . Staff are so helpful and polite . Coffee and ice cream always served with a smile . So lucky to have this on our doorstep.

Love this place, great to meet up with friends for a coffee and some nice cakes and the little play area keeps my toddler amused for for at least an hour with the play park outside too (weather depending!). Staff always lovely and very welcoming! Me and my friend shared a delicious Oreo sundae! Would definitely recommend both the venue and the treats!

On a wet Sunday you used to que for a table but not anymore. The prices have increased and the quality has decreased and the heating was off making the barn cold. Nearly £4 for one sausage and a couple of slices of toast!!! What used to be a firm family favourite for lunch is now just somewhere to visit for an ice cream.

It’s been a while since we were last in but came in today after a trip to Muiravonside farm. Same great service and food at reasonable prices, attentive staff. 10/10 love this place

Ab Fab!We went while in the area with our little one.Lovely hot dog and skinny fries👍Observed some lovely snacks and meals coming out. Busy,with a variety of folks and kids enjoying snacks and coffee.We also had a lovely slice of caramel shortbread. What was especially noted was a really nice team of staff who managed the masses no problem.Our little one loved the small kids play area at the front…….but much credit to the people making the Halloween 🎃 themed ice cream ,it was sooooo well thought out, with a perfectly spookily design .The attention to stuff like chocolate 👀 balls …spooky ghost….and his favourite (although not Halloween connected) a mini Incredible Hulk flexing his muscles in the mint choc chip! So we say lovely food .Reasonable prices .Genuine attention to detail.

After a cheeky response on google, thought it was only fair to post across all media now about this place. Firstly, coming to the "milk barn" we were expecting to be able to buy milk... how wrong we were with that assumption considering the place doesnt sell milk. (Your commment on google says that its illegal to sell raw milk in scotland, I fail to see where my comment states anything about buying raw milk? Theres milk vending machines etc all over scotland now providing fresh milk, surely you can do this?) We considered having some lunch, but the prices are just funny. £4.40 for a soup and over £8 for a sandwich/panini? Thats a joke, completly got put off buying food. (Your comment about this being no joke that you ened to amke money is not funny. You have customer after customer saying that your sandwiches are far too expensive. Maybe actually listen to customers instead of providing cheeky remarks) So instead, decided to try some ice cream. Got the white chocolate and fudge along with the oreo. Both were mediocre at best. Ice cream was more ice than cream, the flavours themselves were boring. Ie white chocolate and fudge was literally just vanilla ice cream, with callebaut white chocolate pieces and fudge pieces. Just not good enough for these prices. But the biggest issue about the oce cream was how its served. Why why why give me a tiny cup and then overload it with ice cream?? Our hands were covered with ice cream streaming down the tub. This was extremely uncomfortable. Why not just give me a bigger tub and make it comfortable for the customer?? (Again owner provided a cheeky response telling to ask the staff to serve less ice cream.... The problem isnt with the portion, it is with the fact you serve it in a tiny tub and overfill it stupidly that it all runs down the side of the tub. Just bloody listen to criticism instead of making fun of a cutsomers geuine complaint) Word of advice for the owners. Set up a farm shop style and i feel that you would earn alot more revenue. Sell MILK to start with, sell eggs, make it more of a well rounded experience for the customer. Your lack of understanding and listening to customers is quite worrying. I really hope this is a bad day for you and that you may actually look at some of the comments you have and implement changes. Also seems like you delete reviews on some platforms which is never promising for a business.

Big choice of ice cream flavours and generous sized scoops compared to other places which is great. We have also tried the caramel apple pie which is nice and the cheesecake also good.

We went today to have a ‘Snackett’ and ended up with a Breakfast Muffin,Bacon ,Fried Egg and 2 Hash browns …….Scrummy Yummy delicious😋😋

Sunny, warm weather persuaded us to sit outside. Unexpectedly, this meant that our order was delivered to our table as if we were having a takeout, with everything packaged rather than on plates and plastic forks. Also, there was not a recycling bin. I found this VERY disappointing.

i always come here and it’s great everytime. it is expensive but the milk they use if fresh and they use quality ingredients in their ice cream, don’t come if you don’t expect it too be expensive but the ice cream is one of the best i have had in scotland.

A great selection of ice creams freshly made and very large portions at a decent price. Busy but the service was quick and efficient

We stopped here on our way north for a trip away, it was so good we returned on our way home! The team were so friendly and welcoming, even when very busy. The ice cream was delicious on both visits and the portion sizes are...

Good portions however, quite expensive and twice sent back bacon roll to have the bacon well done/burnt and it still came out very pale, couldn’t eat it.

As traveled from Glasgow for lunch we were very unhappy when we were told that the dog is not allowed in the shop they have dogbowls every where have dog ice cream and says on the website that is dog friendly but this is not...

We visited during the October school holidays with our 6.5 year old and 4 year old. Lunch boxes for kids are great and freshly made as our daughter has olive spread alternative to butter so we asked for her cheese wrap not to have any...

Forced to wait outside in the rain even through Covid restrictions have been all lifted. £7 for a takeaway toastie and £4 for a cuppa soup. Rip off. Toastie was made with cheap products and the soup was served with a pathetic dry tiny roll....

Fantastic place to visit. We were a group of 28 people. They did their best to provide us with a brilliant service. Ice cream was very tasty. Excellent customer service. Very highly recommended.

Popped into the milk barn for take out lunch Iam sorry to say they should have a sign up saying only ice cream after 12 pm. Ordered what I can only describe as the worst toasted ( I wish ) cheese & ham sandwich I...

Dropped in yesterday for an icecream. Bit overpriced £7+ for 2 comes. Icecream never really tasted like the flavours we chose, however the staff are lovely and it's a lovely location.

We went out for a walk on a cold day and headed up to the Milk Barn for a hot drink. My first time, however the other two family members that i was with have been many times, half way there our son decided that...

Stopped here one day while visiting family in the area,staff very pleasant and helpful, food very good and reasonably priced but wow the ice cream, wonderful

Took my 3 kids (ages 4,3 &3) here after school on Monday. The kids opted for takeaway when they seen the jumping pillow, cow and play park. The kid's got hotdogs (eaten in the car on the way home!) and ice cream which they loved....

The main draw here is of course the many many flavours of ice cream. I however opted this time for a haggis and cheese panini. There was plenty of space for people to social distance and there are cracking views of the hills (the Ochil’s...

After a family day out we decided to make a stop at the milk barn for some ice cream before heading home. The procedures the had in place were ensured our visit was safe. The waitress who provided table service was very polite and my...

Great place to bring the family. Super freshly made ice creams. Catriona a gem. Good service and very clean.

We visited today and really enjoyed our visit. So many ice creamflavours to choose from (tablet, rum and raisin, captain america, smurf's blue bubblegum, caramel shortbread, white chocolate and salted caramel, toffee, vanilla, raspberry ripple, ferrero rocher, double chocolate, summer sorbet,strawberry.... kid's cones are only £1.25 and are full of ice cream! A fudge finger or flake is 40p extra and you can get wafer cones, chocolate wafer cones and tubs too. Limited food menu otherwise and lacked any main meals. No salads or burgers and any chicken dish was mixed with a sauce or mayo (we prefer plain). The location is beautiful and facilities brilliant. They have a bouncing pillow and play area. Lots of outdoor tables and the children were having super fun.

As part of weekend touring the area as part of a staycation we visited here as part of the stop. Ice cream was delicious, however did we feel completely safe being there, answer would be no. Whatever rules in place there must be a procedure in place to manage these to ensure any risk is minimal.

What a fantastic place to have a party! My little girl and her friends had a fantastic time and so did her older brothers, the children made sundaes and sand art bottles, and craft animal plates, they played games and had pizza and other goodies to eat, the girls hosting the party were brilliant with the children. Highly recommend, well worth the money!

Had a great lunch with my nearly 5 year old daughter. Portion sizes are great value for money as she had a children’s sausage, beans and bread which was ample size. My cooked breakfast was a treat as I got two rashers of bacon, two sausages (I went for one link and one lorne), black pudding, egg, tattie scones and beans. You get a glass of OJ and pot of brew as well. Bargain!What was most impressive was the ice cream portions. A two scoop tub was generous and far more than you’d get elsewhere. So many great flavours to choose from and don’t discount the old favourites which are supreme.To add to my feast, I treated my wife to a takeaway Christmas cupcake which she said was the best cupcake she’s tasted plus the tablet I bought for her work colleagues got them asking where I’d bought them from. Wonderful service, atmosphere and facilities for the kids - particularly the small indoor play area for kids which gives them something to do if they can’t use the outdoor kids areas due to weather.If I lived any closer I’d put on weight by coming back time and time again! Make sure you stop by soon.

We were visiting our daughter and she took us to this place. Great selection of Ice Creams, good service and good menu however we all ordered Waffles and Ice Cream and they were over cooked and we could not break through them even with a fork and spoon so we had to leave them - but hey the Ice Cream was good.. Maybe next time they will be ok. Unable to complain as staff were busy and didn't come over to ask if all was ok.

We are a family of 5 and love the milk barn! Fab ice cream and treats which are all reasonably priced. Plus a wee indoor and outdoor play area to distract the kids for half an hour. We literally ate there at least twice a month. Today we went and are told that it’s now £3 per child for the jumping pillow and £1.50 for adults!!!! What on earth??? So now a family trip which used to cost about £12-15 incl a 30min play now costs £24-27 because they get to jumpOn a bouncing pillow!! Well I think we’ll just use that money in future to go to soft play or a farm park because at least then they’ll get a few hours out of it! Very disappointed

We visited with our 2yr old for the first time and they were able to provide alternatives for the kids breakfast to accommodate his allergies, all done with a smile and not making us feel awkward.Our own breakfast was absolutely delicious and generous portions.We then had great fun on the giant outdoor pillow followed by yummy ice cream, again no problem for my son with allergies. We’ll certainly be back and highly recommend!

Unless you have kids and love kids then this is a place to avoid.The cafe specialises in its own homemade ice cream which is delicious. The cafe also serves a selection of expensive sandwiches and cakes.You have to stand in a que for a table and then to place an order and pay.If it was all table service it would make a massive difference as ordering that next coffee is just too much hassle.Great little internal and external play area.Worth finding put only if you hace kids!!!

My husband and I took our 4yo daughter at the weekend as we had heard so much about this place. We were not disapointed. Great choice for lunches, adults & children. We had paninis which was a generous & very tasty helping with salad, coleslaw & crisps. We then had some ice cream afterwards. Amazing! Of course my daughter went for the LOL Surprise Doll ice cream. The outdoor play area looked good fun, however due to the rain we didnt make it there. There us also a small indoor play area, suitable for under 5s. We will be back ❤

A quick visit for coffee and cake. Choices of cakes/cookies amazing, once finally chosen cake was yummy, coffee good quality. Speciality ice creams so many flavours too choose from, a return visit needed for that! Excellent place aimed at children both inside and out, only downside is that when schools off it is very busy.

Had lunch here with family and 1 year old grandson, great fresh food, great service and friendly staff fantastic homemade ice cream. Plenty things for kids to play with. Worth a visit.

What a lovely find after visiting the Falkirk Wheel. We had a meal before our trip home. I had a baked potato with cheese & beans. My hubby had a panini with haggis & cheese. We also sampled a tub of the lovely ice-cream they make. The children seemed to enjoy themselves in the cafe.

Large selection of wonderful ice creams. Something for everyone. Lots of space for kids to run around. Great family cafe.

Had breakfast here with my wife, sister in law and nephew. The breakfast was very good followed by some great ice cream. The staff were all extremely polite and helpful. Managed to see the cows coming out for the first time since October too.

Had a two scoop tub with Creme egg from the Horse Box at the Kelpies (milk barn ice cream). Unfortunately the ice cream tasted as if it had melted and been refrozen with a ‘crystallised’ texture. It was also quite runny and didn’t have much cream egg flavour. Disappointing for £3.50.

Just came back from my Granddaughter Lily's party all the kids loved it the girls running it were fab such a nice bunch of people 10 out of 10 X

Second time I have been here, first time just for an ice cream and there is so much choice it’s hard to decide, today my daughter and I visited for lunch it was busy but the waitress told me at time of ordering it would be a 15 minute wait for food but the food came quicker than that. Lovely tasty food, definitely worth a visit

Had my daughters 4th birthday party here and it was fantastic! Service was wonderful, staff were fantastic with the kids, food was great and well obviously the ice cream was amazing! Highly recommend for a kids party - everyone had a ball! Great range of different activities to suit all ages! Thanks so much!

the parking is poor especially on a summer busy day it is chaotic I feel they need to fix their parking and make more spaces

We've been meaning to pop in here for ages, and finally did the other day.

Absolutely love this place. When my wife first suggested going here I thought "oh lord no... There will be children on mass" ... My daughter is amazing but other people's kids "ughh"... Well I will happily say I was wrong (as long as none of you tell my wife).

I took my elderly Mum here for lunch. She enjoyed the soup and was so impressed when I took her to view the counter display of ice cream for afters! She had a lovely time, and everyone who served us was very friendly. The view out to the rolling fields is very relaxing. Thank you!

We visited here with a 5 year old and 12 year old, the ice cream selection is vast and fresh. There’s a cow the kids can ‘milk’ and a large outdoor play area. Also some toys inside for younger ones. Kids loved it here and we will definitely go back

Nice open space for the children to play and runabout. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Fantastic ice cream treats for the children and adults.

What a lovely wee place. Perfect surroundings, helpful staff and delicious food. Maybe a bit on the pricey side but i think its worth it.

Stop here for cheese scone n cappuccino and fruit scone n tea followed by ice cream wow what great value for money on both scones were very tasty indeed then the ice cream was second to none awesome flavours we’ll be back defo

Nice pit stop for the family to have some refreshments and a play :) ice cream is super yummy!! They also have a good menu but we didn’t try anything. Outdoor play area if the weathers nice. Kelpies not too far.

There is a good variety of lunch food, so many ice cream flavours and there are indoor toys and an outdoor play area. It's perfect to take children to! Katrina stood out to me - she was extremely friendly, patient and lovely.

Attended with friends and four children aged 4-10. The lunch menu was pretty good. I went for the haggis and cheese pannini but I would say it could've been more loaded - there was very little cheese and the pannini empty at both ends. My daughter had the nachos and cheese - these were never going to fill a 9 year old and at best these were a snack. Other than that the food was good and the ice cream lovely. Liked the layout which was airy and the youngster enjoyed the play area.

Outdoor playing for the children and a very good cafeteria for the adults to sit whilst the children play. The food was very good plus it's a working dairy farm and their ice cream is amazing. Seating is inside or outside. Food is ordered at the counter but once ordered you can keep an eye on the children and the food brought to your table.

Fabulous ice cream with an array of flavours to chose from. Well worth a visit. Staff lovely and friendly.

Great wee place, ice cream really good, never tried food but it looked good as it passed me.😁It's a little out of the way but worth finding even for just a cone,small play area for kids,win win 😀

Have been a few times. Food always good a staff friendly. Lots of cows about at present, so the kids love it. Always lots of ice cream choices and a choice of dairy free alternative.

Food fresh and delicious, staff always very accommodating and friendly . Great for the kids inside and out

This is probably the best ice cream this side of falkirk . Great selection of flavours . Very friendly staff . The food is basic but very well presented. Yes it gets busy but it's worth the wait . Thay have extended the service desk so a bit easier to serve the the Ice cream only people . .. they also sell the Ice cream at the Kelpies so it's worth the cycle along the canal. Defo ten stars x

Been here many times and it’s usually 5 star but today the place is mobbed and they can’t cope. 45 minute wait and they still missed food on the order. Hopefully will learn for the next holiday weekend and have more staff.

Spent the morning strutting your stuff in front of the girls at the Mariner Centre? Looking forward to an afternoon petting animals at Muiravonside? You need a lunch venue that fully caters for your needs.......and here it is. There's ice-cream, ice-cream....and ice-cream. And a play area. Even better, a life sized model of a cow you can milk. Utter brilliance! And cutlery designed especially for your little fingers, and loads of high chairs you can throw food from.

Our family visit here regularly and I must say that it has gotten better in every aspect since it opened here. The service, food quality and speed is always fantastic and the staff are very helpful considering it van be like a mad house during the day with sheer volume of customers here

This place is my favourite place to go! The staff are amazing, all lovely & all extremely helpful. The food is made on the premises & the broccoli & cauliflower soup & the coleslaw are the best I've ever tasted! They're toasties & paninis are delicious & they're kids platters are excellent value. The kids have a play area indoors & outdoors. The ice cream & coffee are beyond anything! 16 flavours of ice cream to choose from & I've never once been disappointed! Recommend this place for lunch 100%!

Had a lovely lunch with a friend here , lovely soup just like home made and a great pot of tea. Staff all friendly and helpful, kids can play safely and happily while mums can catch up and still watch them. So everyone happy 😃

The chocolate and cherry ice cream was wonderful 9 out of 10. The after eight was an 8 out of 10. The place is very very busy be prepared to queue. Is it value for money, not really.

No rolls left on a Saturday morning? Took 45 minutes to tell 6 of us. Coffee took 20 minutes and they didn't inform us to the lack of rolls at that time. Poor poor show.

We were taken here by our son and daughter-in-law with our 2 year old grand-daughter for a lunch in the early winter time. Food and ice creams were good and whilst we did not visit the "farm" attractions (it was too cold) I imagine they are fun for the youngsters and grand-parents.

Amazing flavour of freshly made ice cream. Traditional and more exclusive flavours MMMMM Turkish delight ice cream amazing. The also do teas coffees and snacks.

We visited The Milk Barn on Saturday for the first time and I can only say that I'm really glad we did. It was very busy - only to be expected on a beautiful sunny Autumn Saturday. This place has a unique location with panoramic views over the surrounding farmland, and has a lively happy atmosphere. Lots of playthings for the kids, indoors and out, with a superb adventure playground outside with tables beside it for a nice day. Don't expect a quiet secluded meal as there are lots of kids, but we loved it and can't wait to take our grandchildren there next time they visit from Norway.

Great ice-cream locally made at a fair price with a variety of flavours. Not the cheapest but a play park...

What is not to like. Freshly made ice cream with milk from the farms own herds. The range of flavours...

Huge selection of delicious ice creams. Generous servings and priced reasonably for what it is. Kids enjoy the indoor play...

Lovely country setting with rustic barn theme. It's always busy, the staff always give great service and always lovely food....

Chaos, bedlam, unorganised, noisy, untidy and over rated. Place for mum's to meet and gossip with coffee and cake whilst...

really good place for all ages,easy parking wheelchair friendly,kids play area,great selection of food.

Went there with kids and grand kids for an ice cream. It was great if a bit expensive, but then isn't everywhere?

Great wee place. Friendly staff, great food and the ice cream is amazing. Well worth a relaxed visit

Occasionally, when we get a few moments of down-time at work I'll nip out and grab ice creams for my colleagues from The Milk Barn. The choice of flavours on offer is always great and varies from visit to visit so there's often something new to try if like me you make repeated visits. My favourite has long been their chocolate ice cream but the "Pure Moo" is as good as anything I've tasted since my own father stopped making ice cream eleven years ago.

Now we're talking, this is my type of place to eat when I need cheering up. 2nd time visited and both times the food has been top-notch. The panini's are lovely and all the ingredients fresh. And then there is the ice cream! Couldn't possibly do it justice in words so my advice is to go there and try it for yourself. We have family coming up soon and we will be taking them here for sure.

The choices of home made ice cream have to be seen to be believed, superb! Coffee, tea etc also available.

I went with my wife and two of my grown up daughters on fathers day afternoon for an ice cream treat to the milk barn. It is always a busy place and the ice cream is excellent. The servers were quick and polite and the large queue was quickly served. The strawberry ice cream was excellent but so was the fresh strawbery and raspberry. Oh yes and the tablet ice cream was really good too. The portion size is pretty decent and good value. Although we are "grown ups" its not difficult to see that kids love this place and with the play area outside there are things for youngsters to do to keep them interested.We will be back.

The best strawberry ice cream ever. We all four of us had a banana long boat..... could not have enjoyed it more..... the staff were great as was the ice cream. The only thing I would say is that if they used fresh cream it would have been even better. Thank you ladies

So we decided to head to the Milk Barn today for some ice cream and milk shakes. On arrival we queued for a table which is fair enough given it's been a lovely hot day. However we then had to queue to place our order and because we wanted ice cream we then also had to queue up to get that (the cashier just tells you to take the receipt). So THREE queues! We ordered 2 maxi sized milkshakes too that should have been served in an old fashioned milk bottle type jar to us (based on what was shown as size examples at the till). However when they eventually came (15 mins later) they were served in plastic disposable cups which clearly weren't the same size as the examples (and were left with about an inch of air before the lid) I let it go because I'd no intention of queuing for a fourth time! Taste wise, the milkshakes were so-so. Yes they contained milk, but can't help but feel they were flavoured with syrups rather than real fruit!It's a shame because the setting is nice, it's very clean and the ice cream at least, was good.But I can't get over the silly ordering process and poor quality and far from cheap £3.80 milkshakes. A simple order at had till and have it brought to you would be much better.Doubtful we'll be back. These places are springing up all over the place so plenty of alternative choices.

Love going to The Milk Barn. There is always a good selection of food and drink and of course cake and ice cream too! My niece loves the play park outside and watching the cows in the field. Staff are lovely and the service is great

A great venue for children with play areas inside and out. Bright and spacious and of course a huge selection of freshly made ice cream. Unbeatable.

Went there with my partner for a bit of lunch but clearly this is a place for families, although still good to go for a bite to eat even if you don't have children !! Small menu which is always a good thing in my book as the larger the menu the worse the qualitygets. We ordered two paninis, and a couple of teas. This place is known for their ice-cream and Im a professional Gelatiere so I never miss the opportunity to try the gelato. I have to say the density of the ice cream is perfect which means you are not paying for air as the thicker the ice cream the less air it has in it, so you know you are getting a good product, yeah i would make a couple of small changes to the ice cream but overall a really good product, nice surroundings, good atmosphere, really friendly staff, good food, will be going back for sure.

They have a wide variety of ice cream, which won't disappoint. However, the only disappointment stems from the service. It is often very slow, despite appearing to have ample staff.

I visited last week for the first time and was very impressed. It was hard to choose what to eat the menu looked so good! I settled for haggis and cheese Panini, tomato and red pesto soup and a scoop of fererro rocher ice cream. Accompanied by a pot of tea in the worlds cutest teapot. The food was freshly made and very tasty. I loved that it felt so out of the way despite only being ten minutes from the town.

We went here for a family outing and were a little unsure of what to expect. It was a lovely sunny day and so it was busy. We went in for food and there was a 30min wait. The staff were upfront about it so no surprises which with 2 kids under 4 is appreciated. The food was lovely and plenty of it. The ice cream is wonderful and with at least 18 flavours out you are spoilt for choice! It's also very reasonable in price for the huge amount you get. The indoor play area is great and the outdoor just as good. Seeing them making the ice cream is also a fab way of getting the kids imagination running over which flavour is going to be made. The staff are all very helpful and the atmosphere is lovely. Lots of tables so can be a bit of a squeeze and the car park can be the same. I would totally recommend going here though and we definitely will be back time and time again.

Kid friendly, helpful staff, fantastic breakfast followed by positively evil desert. We will be back.

We enjoyed our food and the visit. The service wasn't great - 15 minutes for coffee. Our meals came out in reasonable time, however no cutlery for my sons panini or husbands baked potato, the girl disappeared to get some and didn't come back and we had to request again. It felt like there were loads of staff but no one in charge. Ice cream was delicious, but again after a 15 minute wait I was going to eat anything. It's a shame as this is quite clearly a well thought out business with delicious food. Hopefully it was just a blip the day we came. The one other comment would be the noise of the chairs scraping on the floor!

The dog and I were out for a run in the car and passed the turn-off for this ice-cream paradise. I felt that it was still a bit chilly for ice-cream (although the families there obviously didn't agree!) so I had some homemade mushroom soup with gluten free bread. It was piping hot and really delicious. There are wonderful views over to the Ochils and the surrounding countryside. Definitely a place to return for an ice-cream fix in the warmer weather.

We came across the milk bar by a eBay misshap on Saturday 03/04/17 and was greeted by the owner and a staff member { the lady who is pregnant ) sorry didn't get your name .we have never met such warm and friendly people as the ones at the milk barn. We had travelled over 200 miles , they bent over backwards to help us out even alister ,,! Sorry we live so far away other wise we would be a regular visitor with our grandaugher , such friendly staff it's a lovely place to bring children, a wonderful choice of homemade ice creams and cakes and loved your coffee Such a very clean environment for children with a play area . Michael and Tracey would like to thank you all for the kindness you showed

Today was my first visit to The Milk Barn. We waited a couple of minutes for a table which was no issue. It was busy but staff were polite and friendly despite looking like they were a bit rushed off their feet. Food was nice and served within a reasonable time. My only small complaint and the reason I didn't give 5 stars was that the bread on my sandwich was quite dry but I didn't feel it was worth complaining about as overall I enjoyed my lunch and the fruit sorbet was lovely. Would go back again. Wish I'd got my picture taken with my namesake Glenda the cow though!
