The Stables in Falkirk

Nice meal, haggis pakora was fantastic. We were a large group so had to get our own drinks which wasn't a big deal. Would visit again.

Hidden gem alert!!!! This has ample parking, friendly staff, amazing food and superb choice. 10/10

First time visit. Was quiet but it was a Tuesday evening. 2 course meals & 2 drinks for the 3 of us. Food was nice and good value. Service was friendly and faultless.

Lovely bar. Nice people. Amazing prices

We were early and there was minimal staff, no music and very little atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was absolutely delicious!!! Nothing to complain about. Will definitely be back!!!!

Went as a group of 8 for the festive menu. We were really looking forward to it as a bit of a pre-Christmas celebration. Starters came out and was disgusting! Prawn cocktail… tasted as though the prawns hadn’t been thawed out properly and tasted awful. Didn’t eat it and when waiter cleared our table we wasn’t asked if everything was ok. Thought ok maybe mains will be better. Absolutely awful!! Got the turkey and it was like a grey piece of processed spam! One slice of it and clearly fried in a pan. It was inedible. Got 2 small roast potatoes, would’ve killed someone if you threw it their head! They were like deep fried rocks. Mashed potato was glutinous and slimy. Clearly been left out too long. I honestly felt sick because it was so vile. So I left it. Again, not asked if everything ok. Customer service was non-existent. It was as if they knew their food was that bad and couldn’t risk asking us if everything ok. Then dessert… what can go wrong? Profiteroles. The pastry was RAW in the middle. Just slime! That was the final straw, when plates were cleared we said something. Waiters response “ah ok”. No apology, nothing. We got the bill and reiterated what we’d said about the food and he said he’d knock £20 off the bill for the desserts. Between 8 of us that’s £2.50 off each. Disgraceful. The whole meal was disgusting, the customer service was awful and we will not be back. We feel they had a chance to rectify this whilst we were there but failed to do so. I cannot believe they served this rubbish to paying customers.

Was there for Anitas funeral 01/12/23 who used to work in the Stables. Sandwiches bread was stale. Went home to get my dog as Anita loved her and thought it would be fitting to bring her along to cheer people up. My 2 friends accompanied with their dog as well. Upon arrival many funeral goers faces lit up and 10-15 people crowded round the dogs to say hello. 10 mins after arrival we were initailly told to leave by a pub goer....actually the general manager who wasnt working who we rightly ignored. Even some of the funeral goers encouraged us to ignore him as he wasnt actually on shift. In the word of some councillor somewhere in England. You have no authority here. 5 mins later we had to leave as the manager on shift stated no dogs after 5pm. A rule that we have since discovered was only brought in 6 weeks ago and wasnt advertised on social media anywhere. Called to complain. Caitlin handled the call professionally and was extremely sorry for the upset caused on an already sombre day and said I could speak to the manager who was actually working which I didnt really need but appreciated the offer and accepted. Nicola her manager on the other hand couldnt have been ruder. Stated it was cruel to bring a dog to a pub due to the noise and atmosphere and she personally wouldnt take her dogs there. (I wasnt looking for recommendations from someone who obviously hasnt socialised their dog correctly. My dog and my friends dog were happy that people wanted to speak to them) She then stated it wasn't a pub for dogs in a reason to why it hadnt been advertised dogs were no longer allowed after 5pm. (I am not stupid and actually understand the concept of a pub) She then said she didnt really care and it was busy so she was hanging up. Advised would call in the morning to speak to another manager as her attitude was stinking....I may end up visiting tomorrow. -10/10 would not recommend to a friend. Wont be back unless its to kick up some more tomorrow.

Very quiet at lunch time. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Food was ok, nothing special, but tasty enough, except for the seasonal vegetables which were undercooked and rock hard. I had the haddock mornay, quite a smallish portion but nice. I'm going again for a Christmas night out, so I hope it's a bit livelier and the food more inspiring!

Really nice place staff nice friendly food was excellent plenty to pick from on menu deserts we're delicious

Great food and refreshments at good prices

Really good pub grub but better than usual pub grub. Waitress lovely and a good date night . Thank you also very reasonable priced

Popped in for a late lunch. Place was pretty quiet. Great choice on menu, but both of us opted for the steak pie. Was absolutely delicious. Hadn’t been for a while, but will make a point of returning soon. Really couldn’t be nicer, and good value. Telling my friends, would be great for a wee night out sometime soon. (And the Christmas menu looks great!)

A lovely meal tonight at The Stables Stenhousemuir, nice atmosphere, food piping hot and staff friendly. Will definitely return.

A very excellent meal good not fault it staff excellent

The meals were cooked perfect and a 'very' good portion generally, though the curry could have more. Prices are very reasonable and a lovely cosy atmosphere. Been twice this week.

Good food and service good value very friendly staff

Fantastic team, had the hunter's chicken and it came on a brioche bun. There was a salad garnish and slaw also fries. I can honestly say it was the nicest chicken I've had in a long time, succulent and tender, keenly priced as well. Would recommend.

Ok first the service is polite and efficient ambience a little background music would help. The food was a little bit hit and miss did get refunded for burnt onion rings so that's cool. Will I go back yes go back as some stuff wasn't on menu due to oven problems and to try! All in all pass marks hopefully next time it be better for a overall higher score If in area it's a good find and worth going 😏

Lovely friendly place. Nice to sit outside watching the canal boats. Food was lovely and hot. Great selection of food choices. Staff are extremely friendly and very approachable. Pets welcome inside & out I noticed. Highly recommended

The place had a friendly atmosphere, the guy behind the bar with the white tee shirt on was first class

This is an amazing place to dine. We had actually been there before, a year ago, and it was so good, we went back. My wife had never eaten mushrooms until she had them here. Now, if I want extra, I have to order more. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The chef actually came out to talk with us. The manager and her daughter were amazing and friendly. The business is very clean and accommodating. We will return, and we highly recommend it.

Disappointed in some of the plates of food not value for money

2 adults 1child I'll start with the positive first the girls were lovely. Now the negatives ordered a latte coffee which was undrinkable as it was so bitter. 2main courses were ok but 1 was terrible, it was meant to be a chicken burger bit it was just a lump of undercooked chicken that was full of water & had some blood init, on a bun definitely wasnt a chicken burger, it got sent straight back, my b/f was offered another meal bit he lost his appitite after seeing that. He ordered a drink that never arrived. Our granddaughter ordered caramel apple pie & ice cream the pie was lukewarm at best & the pastry wasnt cooked properly either. We've been coming to the stables on and off for years and the food has always been good but unfortunately i cant say the same for the food now,I dont know if it's changed hands, but the food and menu is nowhere near as good as it used to be. So on that, we sadly wont be going back.

Great little hidden gem tucked in amongst houses. Food was brilliant and the staff were lovely.

Very good service. Everithing here is good. Very delishies food.

Wouldn’t rush back for food, service slow and nobody interested after the mains were served. Ended up going to the bar for an additional drink, so many fruit flies which actually put us off staying any longer.

Nice food and an unusual but nice location, facing the sun and protected by buildings and trees nearby. It is a large place with a nice outdoor seating area. The staff were pretty disinterested and had no real care whether the correct food was delivered to the table, but was a peasant visit nonetheless.

Visited here twice while staying in the area. Travelled from Durham. The service was excellent and staff were very friendly! Some of our family were delayed and this was not a problem! Halloumi fries were excellent, steak cooked to perfection, puddings great! This was all half the price of our local restaurants! Worth a visit!

nice little local place. decent prices. food is good. only issue is pizza. pastry and popadoms were all swimming in greese.. 100% needs addressed. but in general the food was delicious and very homely/tasty x

Enjoyable meal, reduced menu but still good selection. Staff attentive and plesent.

Lovely bar lunch, very friendly and welcoming

Faultless, lovely lunch with family & my grandson. Would recommend

Wonderful atmosphere, lovely staff especially Nadia she made our night. Food was Awsome aswell. Well above average and amazing prices.

Had a lovely meal here. Bub grub but it's lovely

Had my retirement doo here 20th May 2023 with work colleagues and friends. Can't thank them enough for the hospitality and putting up with us on the karaoke. Food was delicious!!

Bog standard pub food. Won’t be rushing back Food was bland and had to send my beer back as it was flat.

We found this cracking pub from some good reviews on the Web and we we're so happy we did. The food was very tasty, the price very reasonable for what we had and the staff were all very friendly. We will definitely be stopping by again next time we're in this area again. Easy 5 🌟

Review is regarding staff rather than the food, which looked nice enough. We had about 16 adults and 7 kids sitting in the beer garden area celebrating the day after our wedding. I called ahead to see if we could order food sitting outside without a booking and was told yes. Not everyone wanted food, but the kids certainly did, along with a couple of fish and chips/pizza orders, nothing major. The first order was made for all the kids, except for mine. I went to order a few minutes later for my 6 and 2 year old only and was told no. They had to prioritise their restaurant guests over beer garden guests. The restaurant was only half full. I explained it was just two kids meals I was after as all the other kids has been ordered for. Was still told no and to “try again in half an hour”. After trying to order again for over an hour and a half we left. Several times we went to ask even if the two kids could just have chips, a small pizza or whatever and the answer was always no. Upon leaving I went back in to complain and the attitude from the women was absolutely disgusting. I think she was embarrassed that her restaurant guests heard they wouldn’t serve some chips to a 6 year old. Spent a good bit on money, £200 plus i’s guess, lots of us very local. You expect the place to be very kid friendly with the park etc but obviously not. The blonde womens words were “i’m not here to serve your kid”. Shame, could be a great place for families as there isn’t many places with park facilities around but certainly wouldn’t recommend whilst these staff/owners are still there.

Worked a 12 hour trial shift never got paid

This place unused to be wonderful and relaxing. I visited with 5 friends for dinner on pre- booked table 2 days ago. One of our party was served the wrong drink, Ok, this was sorted. when it came to dessert, one of our party asked for banoffee pie from the time, no bananas, fell into a song! Then no cheese after asking for cheese board. To top it all the blonde women behind the bar ( was abrupt, no smiling and no people skills). I will not visit again to be made to feel as if we were intruding on this woman's time. The other staff were lovely. no complaints. I hope this blonde lady reads this and, takes up a course on customer service skills Thankyou

Went in today at lunch time, hadn't booked, place was half empty. Asked for a table for two, was asked if we had booked, said we hadn't. Woman working behind the bar actually tutted, huffed and shook her head. Said there were no tables. We went to leave and she shouted that we could have a table near the bar and buy a drink, but would be a long wait for food. No thanks. Left and went to the tea house instead where we were treated like actual paying customers. Blond woman behind the bar was horrible. Won't be back

What a disaster of a dinner experience. Arrived at the restaurant and were pointed to our table (not shown). After about 10 minutes, waitress asked if we would like a drink. Five minutes later I was served a warm lifeless pint of Stella. I managed to get the waitress to come over. I advised her that the Stella was warm and flat. She said that it didn’t look right when pouring. Why the heck was I served it then ! Dinner arrived, what a disaster. Steak pie dinner, veg undercooked and stone cold, mash potato lumpy and bland. Steak pie was OK but cold. Wife had Scampi which was OK. Ordered another pint of Stella and waited 15 minutes without it appearing. Got the attention of another waitress who managed to fulfil my request. Won’t be back here again 😩

Not been in a few years, and I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Firstly the server was not friendly or chatty. Very short and gave over the impression that they didn't want to be there. I ordered the Mac n cheese burger. Which looked disappointing. A Brioche bun with some salad on the bottom then a burger, with a spoon of runny Macaroni on top. Not sure what I expected but it wasn't that. My wife's dish (sausage and mash). Looked better presented. The food was fine but fairly ordinary. On a more positive note compared to the competition, the prices were very reasonable.

Whole family enjoyed visit including pre teens.

Superb service and food. Well pleased.

Really nice local place. The staff were all lovely. Food was yum!

Out for valentine's meal. Great as always

Because of diet requirements only able to eat certain food no boiled or baked potatoes were available only smashed which contain margarine poor show from chef so ended up with bowl lettuce leaves

Great food, friendly staff and nice surrounding

It was good, not very busy hence the 3 stars for atmosphere, the menu was nice enough the chips were to die for absolutely yummy! Staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly the portions were a good size, and my grandson liked the kiddies menu, plenty of choices for him!

Stumbled upon this quaint wee place. The Service and Food was top notch. Thank You.

Loved it, amazing service and great food.

Xmas lunch with work colleagues. Very disappointed there were no crackers on the table and we weren't given a festive menu. The 'special' however was turkey and trimmings which was plentiful, maybe too much on the plate. Roast potatoes were very nice, turkey was tasty, brussel sprouts tasted like frozen ones and there was a massive pile of mash on the plate which I found unnecessary. Soup for starter was very nice however it was way too hot to eat. The service was slow even though it wasn't busy and staff weren't very attentive. We weren't told about the turkey being available, we had to ask. We weren't told about several dishes not being available until we asked for them. Atmosphere was poor.

Unique Friendly Bar and Restaurant where there's lots choices on Every Menu which are all great Value for money. Smart dressed staff who are most helpful. Open until 11pm too. Best Chef ever. All good is perfectly cooked and his batter is soft and mouth watering. I recommend Cauliflower in batter for starters and Pork and Leek Sausages (3) with brocilli, green beans, carrots, cabbage and excellent onion gravy made with fresh onions

Great place for lunch, had a business meeting in the afternoon and stopped in for something to eat with some colleagues. Great staff and fantastic food, happy to go back again when I am in the area.

First time and must ssy food was very good good portion size and value for money

Found this place by researching somewhere to eat near the Kelpies. Really pleased it turned out to be what it said on the tin. It appears to be in the middle of a hosing estate so was a bit off our route. Food is good, staff and service was spot on. Very pleasant experience.

We were recommended this place today. Phoned prior to see if we needed to book. Lovely friendly mannered staff member said they weren't that busy so just pop in We had 3 courses each and enjoyed each course. We had chicken and cauliflower starters both delicious. Katsu curry and steak pie mains were superb. HUGE PORTIONS..... Sticky toffee and apple crumble desserts. Staff all very attentive and hard worked yet so down to earth. Chefs definitely know how to cook lovely and tasty food with such great prices. We will recommend and most definitely return

Lovely place to eat. Easy to get to, plenty parking. Great menu with a variety of choices. Excellent gluten free options. Staff very aware of risks of cross contamination, happy to discuss. Portions are excellent - not over-facing or ridiculous, but there's no skimping on anything. Prices are so reasonable, amazing value for money. Staff are lovely.

Comfortable and relaxed down-to-earth restaurant and bar with a good pub-grub menu. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Recommended.

Nice pint of Birra Moretti, spacious beer garden, kid friendly.

Food was beautiful staff friendly and personal highly recommend great place. Not expensive

Hubby and I had a lovely meal, staff tentive and friendly. Xx

Food was fresh and staff friendly. Will be back.

Inexpensive pub grub made fresh. Very friendly staff giving good service.

The food is decent as in average talking about the restaurant side. The bar side is fun and has a pool table and the waitresses are nice. Found a drink called Venom (rum, vodka, wiskey, and a bit of orange juice) at this place and it is hellah good. They have an outdoor dinning and drinking lounge which is nice. Also a small fenced in play park for kids for when the adults eat inside. Overall a little pub/restaurant that has bout everything... just up the food for a 5 star... food isn't bad it just isn't 👌🏼

Great food,fair prices nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Had a terrible experience/meal. Dough on fish was thick and under cooked. Mixed grill was burnt to a crisp. I've been here a few times over the years and it was a decent meal but I won't be back after this visit. I send a complaint email and they never even bothered to reply.

The staff were great, and really friendly, food and drink were delivered on time and both were exceptionally nice. The food is standard pub fare, well cooked and presented, with a decent range of drinks.

Such lovely staff and food. Would definitely recommend and will be going back.

Had a brilliant lunch, staff were lovely, helpful glad we went with the advice for a smaller portion as even that was loads. We had a wheelchair it was easy to access, food was delicious cooked to perfection

Great service from start to finish. Staff are very friendly and quick with drink orders. Steak pie amazin, beef just melts in your mouth, great portion and value for money

Fantastic food with large portions. Good price and friendly / professional staff.

Great food, excellent service and extremely accommodating for dietary requirements

Happened upon this place by accident and so glad we did. Great service and the food was clearly homemade right when you ordered. Lovely beers on tap as well. Enjoyed haggis croquettes, stew, fish and chips, and the fresh fish of the day.

Lovely staff excellent service and brilliant food

Good friendly local pub great bar food excellent staff. Thanks

Lovely meal but seemed to take a while to get starter But wd definitely b back.

Always a joy ,wether it b for dinner or just oot for a pint with lesley and hamish the dug ,great friendly atmosphere, and great staff . Always good crac and a laugh. Recommend The stables all day long 👌

Nice food, massive portions, lovey atmosphere and good service. Also handy that it’s only a five minute walk from my house.

AWFUL!! me and my family went to the stables for an evening meal, i think it’s fair to say none of us enjoyed our meal,, We waited 35 minutes for our meal to arrive,,, Chicken burgers have been cooked in FAR to much oil,, Fish very dry,, pepperoni pizza had only a few bits of pepperoni on it, MOSTLY JUST CHEESE and don’t get me started on the onion rings 🤮. Fair enough the staff were lovely. but we came to the restaurant expecting a nice meal and it was anything but nice. NOT WORTH THE MONEY!

Great meal and fantastic service from all staff. Waitress Caitlin catered great to our autistic grandson and assited well to his requests. Will definitely be returning as food was out of this world and they served my very special liquid refreshments. Thank you to all......

Good choices good food ..cater for gluten free ..lovely desserts .

We randomly googled places to eat near where we were staying and found this lovely hidden gem five mins away, after the place we’d actually booked had almost everything out of stock and nothing to my partners taste. Glad we found it, lovely food and pudding and very friendly team working there, happy to accommodate us as walk ins. Lovely food, lots of choice! If we’re ever back this way, we’ll be back!

Wonderful celebration for 60th birthday and Ruby Wedding. Great food very generous helpings and brilliant service. Thanks to Angus for all his help and everyone else for making it a great night for our party of 24.

Food was cheap and nasty and had to send main back. Will definitely not be back. Shame really as waiting staff were lovely and it used to be sooooo good back in the day

Great food, lovely surroundings, great atmosphere, staff were friendly

Great food and friendly staff 👍 will be back.

Items not available.on menu ling time from.order to service

Having been a regular customer for 20 years, don't particularly like the new menu since the change of owners, found the menu & food very dissapointing

Used to eat here on a regular basis before the pandemic and food was always lovely. First time eating here since it was bought over and food was terrible compared to how it used to be. Only 1 of us finished our starter and one main meal was sent back to kitchen for refund. Wish I had done same with mine. Salad was covered in vinegar and the coleslaw was green. Only ate the pieces of chicken but been ill all day now.

Good atmosphere friendly staff Great Value

The food here is amazing asswell as the customer service 5 stars the stables should be a 5 star resturaunt

Great food and excellent service

The food and service were excellent!

Really nice place to eat and catered well for the kids. We were very satisfied with our food and the place as a whole. The staff were very nice and was always on hand when needed. Would definitely recommend this little gem that we stumbled on.

Great sirloin steak…perfectly cooked thanks

Hadn't been here for a long time. Food was brilliant. Couldn't fault the service.

Been going here over many years and always had a good meal,until we went today under new management,the food was very substandard,not worth the money,also after complaining about the fish and the state of the batter,not being cooked through,tasted like mushy dough,we then had to endure the chef and other members of staff,quite obviously talking about our complaint,received no apology on paying the bill, only told rather abruptly that the fish had been removed from the bill,by which I presume was the restaurant manager,very disappointed in the food and the service,definitely won't recommend or be back

So pleased with our meal here, will 100% be back soon. Best salmon I've had in a long time!
