The best restaurants serving British food in Stirling Central Scotland

Breakfast is widely advertised as being available until 11.30am but should state subject to availability! I arrived at 10.55am Sunday morning looking forward to a full breakfast for myself and my husband. I waited in a queue for 15 mins only to be told “what’s left is in front of you and it will take too long to cook anymore, we’ve been busy” .I walked away in disgust. I did get the chance to speak to restaurant manager who was very apologetic , offered to get food cooked for us but the momentum had gone and wasn’t in the mood to be spoken to or served by the not so pleasant staff member ! If the staff were worth their salt someone should have alerted the queue that there wasn’t any breakfast left or should have notified kitchen staff more food was required. The restaurant certainly did not look busy nor the car park. When I say there was a queue I mean approximately 4 to 5 in front of me being served by a not so cheery staff member serving on her own until when I reached the hot food server another member of staff came out to help. I am a club member but will not be renewing my membership. If a business in this current economic climate can loose customers through rude staff and poor food quantity control then good luck to them. Four other customers behind me left the queue when they heard there was nothing left. It was the local May weekend, foresight should have prevailed and plenty breakfast items available. I understand food going to waste isn’t good either but surely if breakfast is being advertised until 11.30am then customers should be able to have it , even if it has to be cooked fresh! Gone are the days when the customer is king!

The cafe at dobbies Stirling is abysmal. Chaotic setup it took me 20 minutes after ordering to queue in 3 different areas before I could sit down in the dining hall like cafe. My sister meantime had been forced to clear dirty dishes and trays so that we could eat our food. Cold toasties and lukewarm tea and I still had to go back up to collect a bowl of chips as they had run out. Food tasteless and no garnish to at least make it look tempting. Kitchen was seen to be disastrous with overflowing bins and rubbish on floor. Staff certainly busy trying to get food out but had no time for pleasantries with customers. Feeding time at the zoo would be better organised! Needless to say won’t be back!

Hotel has amazing location on Loch Lomond and for West Highliand Way. But the hotel itself seen better days and is a bit run down and dilapidated. All that could be forgiven. Less easy to shrug off was incredibly rude and belligerent bar/restaurant manager who had a real attitude problem and clearly never heard of customer service. Ludicrous argument on charging £2 for some Parmesan to go on an order of pasta. Salt and pepper were still free on visit. Great view but avoid staying or eating there if you can.

It is with my upmost disappointment that if it weren’t for the price point of the items I would have thought I was in a Tesco cafe.

Fui al restaurante para el almuerzo con mi pareja y mis dos hijos y me encantó ver tenían un menú para niños. Sin embargo, cuando la hamburguesa de mi hijo salió parecía muy apetecible, un poco como una de esas hamburguesas puso en el microondas, mi otro hijo había pescado y patatas fritas (patatas fritas congeladas claramente) con la menor dos piezas de confinado de pescado en dos enormes piezas de pasta. había pescado y patatas fritas del menú de adultos que era muy seca y las fichas donde congeladas. Para ser sincero nada cualquiera que teníamos era terriblemente agradable. Nos preguntaron sobre 4 veces si habíamos terminado antes de que nos lo cual era molesto y nos hizo sentir muy incómodo y prisa. Cuando la camarera venía en una de las ocasiones que pedir de que estábamos hecho ella me dijo "Me referiré helado para los chicos" de tal manera que les gustaría oir lo que significaba que claramente lo como algunos, me parece una ogre para decirte que no. no quería pedir postre. Ella se volvía al recoger los platos dijo "conseguiré el helado" para que los chicos son ahora pedirlo ejerciendo presión innecesaria en mí. Cuando la factura era las bebidas donde cobran es una manera muy extraña. tenía una pinta de zumo de naranja y refrescos agua que era pormenorizada como 4 bebidas por separado, dos naranjas y dos Dash soda, y el costo £1.25 por un 1/4 pinta de zumo de naranja. parecía un muy complicado y confuso procedimiento para una bebida. Los niños tenían naranja mezclado con agua del grifo £1.25 . todo era muy pobre, ridículo y decepcionante.
