The Ochil View in Clackmannanshire

Good food at really good prices. Excellent value for money

Sehr fein gegessen. Das Personal Sehr freundlich und die Küche war vom Feinsten. Restaurant liegt etwas abgelegen aber es lohnt sich dort hinzufahren.

First of all let me just say that this is not a review about the waiting staff as helpfull was above how our server was.

Family visit varied menu with something there for everyone decent prices they do certain meals like steak pie/fish +chips from noon to 4pm every day for £5.95 and it's a decent enough portion size but overall the prices for all the meals are not too bad at all. They also have a few specials on to choose from which add to your choice.There is nothing too fancy on the menu but it's decent homely tasty food as our plates we're all clean.Small delay getting the food out took about 30 mins which is more than my 20 minute rule otherwise it would have been a 5. Well worth a visit if your in the area folks !!

family lunch for four adults .on entering the restaurant the dinning room was lovely and clean table was spotless cutlery was very clean. plenty of condiements on the table .glasses for the drinks very clean. our waitress was very friendly food beautifully cooked and was piping hot when brought to our table

Tuvimos una comida impresionante en la vista con amigos el sábado pasado, y entre los seis de nosotros realmente nos las arreglamos para realmente probar el menú con entrantes, platos principales y postres. Toda la comida era muy sabrosa y se sirve con un personal excelente y atento

Newly opened restaurant ,lovely fresh food very clean comfortable surroundings and v polite helpful staff we will def return

Recientemente inaugurado y reformado y bajo una nueva dirección, el bar con vista al mar y restaurante es un lugar ideal para disfrutar de un almuerzo o cena. El menú, aunque no muy extenso, tiene suficiente variedad para satisfacer a los clientes más preferencias. Sin duda era para mi esposa y para mí.

Came here just before it closed had a passable Xmas dinner here it was ok drinks and staff were good

completamente horrible. Mi marido y yo nos detuvimos en para el almuerzo, sin saber que la titularidad había cambiado. Anteriormente la comida era excelente, es absolutamente terrible ahora! La comida era absolutamente repugnante, mi marido y yo apenas tocado nuestros platos y todavía terminó violentamente enfermo más tarde por la noche. hacer. No. Visita. repito no visita.

We stopped for lunch one day and the food was excellent! The staff were friendly and we felt we got brilliant value for money. We will recommend to all and will most certainly return.

Visitamos este restaurante cuando se abrió originalmente y no estaba impresionado con la comida y juró nunca volver. Después de un cambio de corazón que volvimos y me alegro mucho, ya que una la comida era muy buena. Me pareció que la porción de la lasaña era demasiado pequeña pero mi esposa dice que comer demasiado!

fun value great place to visit,staff great free jukebox steaks are wow drinks are good could use a real ale kids welcome

Went with friends who stay within walking distance, arrived at 7.30 ordered drinks and asked for a menu, told they stopped serving at 8. And kitchen closed. Wright enough nobody in place eating. Yet it says on billboard food served till 8pm !! An older couple came at our back and he had walking difficulties, just walked from sauchie (next village) took him half an hour but he knew he would make it there before 8 o'clock ! The tables were still layed out with cutlery ! Both the tiered old couple and my company of five had a quick chat about service and left after our drink. The staff asked on our way out if we not staying for the quiz ? I replied we were here for food and if they had made us a meal we would have stayed for more drinks and there quiz. The gentleman just shrugged his shoulders !!! Sorry I have no comment on food !! Ps lovely cold pint of magners if that helps !!!!!

great food,fantastic staff,brilliant enternment,even made a football match interesting,have eaten several times,never a issue,recomend everything on menu,staff are fast efficient polite,a great family venue,stunning views on way to pub,highly recomend a wee visit

Went in for a meal for my birthday with friends and family got to say got greeted from friendly staff and the meal was fresh and tasty would definitely go back x

Worst place I've ever eaten really should have just walked out but manners stopped me from doing that, place and staff in need of a good clean dread to think what the kitchens are like

13.00 on a Sunday and no diners was a surprise. The restaurant within the pub lounge was set-out and waiting but only a few came over the next hour or so. Service was handled by the barman who was pleasant and efficient. Two roasts were available, lamb and chicken. We started with soup which was excellent and set us up in anticipation for the main course which although adequate was not exceptional or exciting. Pudding like the soup was very good. Had there been roast potatoes and had the yorkshire puddings been less crisp the main course would have have scored higher. That said, overall it was good, reasonably priced food. The pub is easily accessible with its own car park and well positioned if you are visiting the area or touring through the little towns by the Ochils or simply visiting the furniture retailer in nearby Tillicoultry. I would go back but I wouldn't rush back. Another plus was the good access and space for disabled wheel chair customers.

I have just visited the Ochilview for a Saturday night tea. At 7pm there were no burgers, only flat lemonade and rude staff. I won't be going back. There is a burger section on the menu so my son ordered a cheeseburger, but the waitress came back a few minutes later to say there were no burgers. She did not bring him the menu to make another choice. He also had a lemonade which was flat. When I returned it I was told "she's just gone to get some". I assumed she meant from a storeroom. My son had finished his food by the time "she" returned from Asda! I said we didn't want it anymore and was told "she" had gone to get it for us, as though we are the only people who drink lemonade! How rude. They have just lost a customer.

Visited The Ochilview on Monday lunchtime and have to say I can't find any fault with the service we received. We were greeted upon arrival by the manageress and seated promptly. Drinks and food order were taken in a timely manner. While waiting we were encouraged to make use of the jukebox which is free to use during the day on weekdays. Our food arrived a short while later and I'm pleased to say it certainly didn't disappoint. Very filling lunch and great fresh ingredients used. Pleasing to see many others diners come and go while we were in. I'll definitely make a return visit soon. Hopefully to try out the Friday night curry night or Saturday night steak night. Great effort from The Ochilview team - keep it up guys!!!

It was my brothers 15th & my aunties 50th. We book 'The Ochil View' two weeks in advance as we had a table of 15. Now as we arrived the first thing the manager informed us when we walked in was there was no burgers or desserts... (I mean two weeks notice, 15 people, no stocking up). Then we all ordered, 6 steaks, fish and gammon and steak pie. Two steak pies arrived and looked nice, then the sirloin steak arrived, all were suppose to be medium or rare, but in fact were cremated, every single one. No steak knife were given as they had none, so hacking into a carbon coated steak with a butter knife was the delicacy of the night. All steaks arrived on a plate when on the menu it said they came on a sizzler, once confronted the manager said it was a typo. Only half of us got onion rings with our steaks for some unknown reason (probably ran out) the mushrooms that came with the steaks were also awful and all the sauces were just plain cream and crushed pepper granules. All the steaks were returned and we all refused to take anything else. In the end we complained excessively and we only got charged for two steak pies and a fish. Terrible experience. Having a take away for my aunties 50th.

Had a really great meal on Sunday here, freshly made and tasted delicious, would certainly recommend it

I popped in late on Sunday afternoon (around 16.30). I was quite surprised that the Sunday lunch was still available so plumped for this. The roast beef lunch was cooked very nicely, was a good portion size and the veg was obviously fresh and very tasty. The licensees and waiting staff were pleasant and polite and went to every effort to make my visit/meal enjoyable. My desert of choice was apple crumble........absolutely delicious........and unlike many establishments in the area they actually have a decent draught lager on offer (Stella Artois) which rounded the meal off nicely for me. I will definitely go back soon.

My husband myself + 3yr old came for a lunch time visit on a recommendation from a friend + we were definitely not disappointed!!! My husband had the steak pie, I had the naked burger + our wee1 had a cheese burger, the steak pie was homemade + very generous portion, my burger + child's burger was home made + amazing, I also had thee best homemade onion rings EVER! The batter was so light + they were huge, we will defo be back! Also our child ate free, all children under 12 get a main meal, ice cream + quenchey cup from the kids menu, thank you so much, beautiful

For a friend's birthday, we all went up to the local for a meal and drink. The food was great, everyone was happy with their meal. My only gripe was the service, why ask a customer how they want their steak if you're not then going to actually cook it that way. A couple of the meals were on the two for ten pounds offer, which we pointed out when the bill was wrong. They did adjust the bill, but then asked in future for us to claim the offer beforehand as it would have been smaller portions. (No mention of that on the offer leaflet). Sort out the service and the Ochil View will be great.

I dined with a group of my friends at the Ochilview this evening. The macaroni cheese was second to none and the sticky toffee pudding was extremely light and very tasty. My compliments to the chef for a delicious meal. I will definitely be back soon.

We went in with our daughter for a meal Monday, it was 2 meals for £10 absolutely fantastic value for money with generous portions, our daughter's meal was fantastic too she had kid's macaroni cheese, she got ice cream for after, fantastic value for just £4! We will certainly be back again, strongly recommend the Chinese chicken curry. Staff we're very friendly.

lovely food and so child friendly...... little corner for our grandson to play.... great touch...we enjoyed a lovely bar meal and it was not expensive.....nothing was too much trouble and the owners were exceptionally helpful...... The chef even offered to take the skins from the new potatoes that were on offer for some of our fellow diners.... We will certainly call again if we in the area....

My wife and me went into The Ochil View for a meal on passing through Fishcross and were not disappointed by the friendship shown by the staff. The food was absolutely second to none. Overall an excellent dining experience and most definitely recommended.

The place is nice and relaxing the Menu Was fantastic and had of choice of food was Fantastic been a good few time now and love their is kids coner and prices are really good too staff are great and happy to help so hope you all go and try xxxxxxx

Fresh food well prepared cooked nicely and served,reasonable selection on menu,reasonably priced,we both had chicken,very nice

We had been going to the Ochil View for many years and enjoyed our meals there but Then ,they brought a chef in and he was not to good ,Well that was our opinion .So we stopped going ,But just around Xmas we noticed a sign out side saying under new management and new chef, so we decided to give them another try and What a change ,New owners and staff were very helpful and the meal was a treat so hats off to the new chef,We have been going back every week since,sometimes twice a week .So well worth giving them a try ,don't think you will be disappointed.

Seven of us went there on Sunday 17th Feb had a great lunch,food was the way I like it tasty and not too fancy.the new owners made us very welcome.we will definitely go back again..

Went in on Sunday 17 February with family of 7 they had just put new menu out today the place was chalk a block the food was first class the New Head Chef matthew has work his butt off the last few weeks to run a smothe a Service like that well done keep good work up guys

Having just popped in for a meal found the experience most satisfactory. Table service was highly commendable. Food was excellent value for money. Meals cooked to perfection including a medium 'credit crunch sizzler steak.'10 out of 10. Will definitely be back.

Having been there a few years ago and enjoyed it, we decided to go for bar lunch. Walking in to a near empty restarant and a look of boredom on the waitress behind bar was not a good start. Meal was a disaster (as Mackeroo has already said, in the same party) so I wont repeat. The main thing I will write was about the attitude of the owner, almost scared me when I said 'i wouldn't pay £8 for this' he glowerd at me saying 'what were you expecting'. Not a good response. He finally agreed that we didn't have to pay.The owner would benefit from a course on how to speak with customers.

We visited this pub last summer for a bite to eat and couldn't fault it. Sadly the same could not be said for today. The 'Angus' burger was half the size of the roll and had clearly just come from the freezer. I could not cut through mine and sent it back only to be told that was the last one and did I want anything else. I picked macaroni cheese and when it came, it was swimming in grease. Not nice. The kids meals were all fine especially the chicken nuggets which were made from real chicken. Unfortunately the whole experience today left a lot to be desired and we will not return unless steps are taken to make improvements. Such a shame as it could be really good.

I was so surprised reading the 1st time reviewers reviews of this place that I had to double check we were reviewing the same place!!Me and 3 others went just last week for a bar lunch and it was a terrible experience. The venue was cold which didnt help and the radio was blaring although in fairness to the nice waitress she did turn it down after we mentioned it. The food was really bad with the exception of my mothers fish and chips which she said was nice. Macaroni cheese was in fact a plate of cheesy pasta, the cheese and pickle salad we ordered arrived as ham and pineapple and when the error was pointed out, it was clear all they did on return was pick off the ham, not great for a vegetarian.We also didnt think it was worth the money, lots of shredded lettuce, a teaspoon of pickle couple of tomatoes My chicken burger was soo dry i could even cut through it. When we initially made a complaint the owners attitude was verging on being aggressive. He brought out the chef who was approachable and who apologised for the chicken and also agreed that the salad wasnt of standard. After much resistance from the rude owner he finally agreed that we shouldnt pay full price for the meals we complained about.Will never go back whilst current owners are running/ruining this place

Would definately recommend the Ochil view to everyone. The food was absolutely amazing and the staff are keen to please. For families taking young children it's a god send,there's a kids corner for the kids to play while you relax and enjoy ure meal. They serve good quality portions with superb presentation. Will defo be goin back again,would like to try the carvery the next time as this is supposed to be superb!!!!

Went in today for a carvery to find out there's a new chef and he's actually carving the meat! Meal was gorgeous, just what a carvery should be, excellent value for money, atmosphere was very friendly even with the pub being under new management. They were lovely people, very welcoming, even found out there's karaoke every Saturday night, think this is a definite to visit again especially when there's karaoke. Well done, hubby, daughter and me we're very impressed.

Went in with wife for a meal ended up having carvrey it was like the old times when the chef carved the joints of meat in front of you not pre sliced crap that was all dry. it was really nice from meat too veg and potatoes you could see they were fresh and this was at four o'clock were as in past I wouldn't go near it before because it would he all dried out crap but massive improvement right down to presentation and chef was clean and smart not like previous chef who needed a shave looked ruff and clothes all creased. Well done guys be back again

Very welcoming pub. Traditional pub grub, but very tasty and resonably priced. I will go back again and again.

I went in with my wife and two kids I had the steak on the on hot plate the wife had enchiladas when the food came it looked fresh and tasted superb. The staff had told us that they had just stated a new chef. Can't wait to go back too try more of his dishes.defo recommend to family and friends. Be back soon!! _

the ochil view in fishcross 1st xmas party night was brilliant the locals made our party very welcome and the food just spot on also the staff were very helpful and made us feel special entertaiment was knock out we will be back again very soon well done

Went in with my wife for an evening meal and a pint on Monday 15.10.12 whilst travelling around Scotland. Ordered the fish cakes and Lasagne for both of us. What a suprise, the fishcakes were home made and delicious, the Lasagne was excellent with meat from the local butcher, there was only 1 waitress on duty and she also tended to the bar, she was quick and efficient, a credit to the place. We met the young lady who cooked the food and it was obvious that she is committed to producing good food, this is a standard of food and service well above what we have come to expect in most Pubs/Inss that serve food nowadays, a place well worth visiting again.

Went for a family meal with 18 people. The starters were good (who can go wrong with nachos). We waited at least an hour for our mains to come out. They came out at all different times. Every steak/mixed grill that came out was well over done, a burger came out that had to be scraped of the black charcoal before it was edible. Someone was meant to get boiled potatoes, they received chips also ordered peas that never arrived! Two portions of cheesy garlic bread never made an appearance either. We had a baby of a year old, her dinner came last at 9pm after numerous chasing of the waiter. When it came it was actually raw! To finish the meal off, there was a daddy longlegs actually cooked within someones onion ring. Some of the kids had kids meals and their ice cream also never came. To add insult to injury we were told we had to pay a portion of the bill!!!we also never received an apology, safe to say we will never be back!

We were looking for somewhere for a Sunday lunch while down visiting, usually we go to the pirnhall or the hollybank but needed a change having driven through fishcross on several occasions we stopped at the Ochil View restaurant and so glad we did! Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and extremely tasty carvery, add to that a brilliant price, I would highly recommend a visit, we will certainly be back, 2 course meal for 3, a drink each and all for under £30 absolute bargain. 5*

We visited the Ochil View because it was the nearest to the caravan site we were on and it was one of the worst rainy days for a long time. What a brilliant surprise. We had the excellent carvery, £8.95 for two courses. The food is expertly cooked, nothing fancy, just good old fashioned Sunday roasts. The slices of meat were above average size and there was a good choice of veg. The staff are amongst the friiendliest we have met for a long time. The new owners are doing a great job with both prices ans atmosphere. Next time we are over that way we will make it our mission to return. Thank you for briinnging the "good" back into good food. Or bill came to under £25 for two courses, one large glass of wiine, for me, a soft drink and a tea and coffee. Great value!!!!!

The Ochil View has to be the best place to eat in Clackmannanshire/Stirling at the moment. The food is consistently good, whether it be off the full menu or the Sunday carvery. The prices are great - again off the menu or for the carvery. I paid £13 for a 12oz sirloin steak with chips/onion ring & tomoto...it was fantastic and cooked really well. The next day I went to Hendersons Bistro in Stirling and ordered a 6oz sirloin for around £14/15....the Ochil View beat it hands down in terms of quality of meat, and they way in which it was cooked. Would thoroughly recommend this place. You can eat in the pub itself, or in the seperate function room through the back (where the carvery is served, which we often visit!)
