The best restaurants serving British food in Central Scotland

Had a terrible experience here. I booked this place for my partners 30th birthday meal (which I stated when booking) weeks in advance, however we arrived to find the pub was shut, despite having my booking confirmed and it stating online that it was open. I rang the number, the doorbell and knocked the door as I could hear people inside and was completely ignored, however as we were leaving the owner came out after a van arrived and a very suspicious transaction occurred. I asked the owner about why the pub was shut and that I had booked for my partners birthday. He was not apologetic in the slightest and told me that I should have received a text or email informing me it was closed, which I hadn't!! I would advise avoiding this pub at all costs as they do not care about the customers at all.

I am giving you an excellent review based on previous visits but arrived Thursday 14th November at 11:15 and it was closed. Website says open at 10:00 and opening time on door says 10:30. Several people left disappointed during my 20min seat on bench. Off to Port Bannatyne for my brunch. Can you update your opening hours on door and social media platforms.

Hey it’s a pub selling drinks and food. However portions were very good no,huge, steak and ale pie with veg and chips,well I could not finish it,Really big portion.Wife had scampi and fries, we counted 12 pieces of scampi on plates, virtually a whole bag from supermarket.She had afewfries but bailed out due to portion size, great atmosphere in bar and eating place.

Had a lovely relaxing afternoon's coffee here since The Court House redecoration which is so tasteful. The coffee's we had were very smooth and the vegan cake very delicious and was a big portion that we shared. Will go again for sure for breakfast or lunch soon!

Excellent Hogmanay meal in the Meikle Restaurant - a somewhat different way of serving people (as usual over the festive period Crieff Hydro did not explain anything), but the speediest Hogmanay meal I have had there in decades and very good food and service. Why the low overall rating therefore? Cast out of the Meikle as never contacted by Festive Catering to make a restaurant choice despite chasing all through October, November and December (told to email them again on the 28th, they responded they will get back to me in a week's time!). In fairness, the Food and Beverage Manager did see us, but simply to reiterate the policy that in such a huge hotel a table of 3 would scupper everything in the Meikle; there was no explanation as to what had gone on in (mis-)handling our booking, nor was any apology offered. A poor handling of a complaint with no attempt at remedy. A waiting list for the 7:00pm Meikle sitting for example? Exiled back down to the Terrace restaurant again this evening I fear ...

Nos alojamos con mi marido por un par de noches y el hotel es precioso. Habitación muy bonita con una cama grande preciosa y bañera increíble. El personal es encantador y dispuesto a hacer su estancia perfecta. No tuvimos brekkie, ya que no somos gente del desayuno, así que no podemos comentar eso. Muy recomendable. Volveremos.

Popped in here today for a look. Got one punnet of strawberries and two lovely strawberry tarts. Both very reasonably priced. Lovely pleasant young lady on cash desk. Who was very helpful. Had a good selection of other vegetables too.

Never thought I'd ever eat here but it's actually great. I'd highly recommend. Food great, space unique, waitresses superb

My elderly father brought me here for lunch. I was very pleasantly surprised. Staff were friendly and polite, service was quick and staff were attentive. Food was delicious, hearty size portions. Very reasonably priced. When I visit a new restaurant, I always check the toilets and rate restaurant based on this, they were very good, clean, tidy & well stocked. I don’t live in the area however I will remember my visit & will aim to return one day. If you ever find yourself near Falkirk, I highly recommend you dine here.

Visited whilst wondering through St Andrews. Lovely little find, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and fabulous soup! Cakes looked delicious too.

I saw here doing a walk from Falkirk to Linlithgow. And found this hidden gem and stopped off for some drinks and soup to fuel us up. The restaurant is located right next to the canal with beautiful views the staff were friendly and helpful the food was slow to come out however we were in no hurry to move a we were stopping off for rest on this long walk. The food was good and prices were reasonable. I would return

1st visit to Karma Lake. Very impressed on arrival. Stunning location. The weather was not the best on the day so already planning a trip back in spring/summer. Food was tremendous 3 menus available on that particular day. A very impressive collection of whisky in the Malt Vault. I believe Karma have their own blended whisky too. Great service with friendly staff. We were told of summer BBQ'S & boat trips out to the Island on the Lake of Monteith. Will definitely be back for that.

Bought one sourdough bread loaf and 3 brownies. He said we can have the last brownie (the fourth) for free yet we still payed £18 all together. No prices shown online and hard to find prices in the shop. Tasted great but not for that amount of money!

Lovely restaurant, separate gluten free menu. Big portions, tasty food. My daughter really liked her gluten free fish and chips. Great service, nice and clean restaurant and facilities. We definitely will be back

Myself and my husband visited here on 26/04/25. We had drinks at the bar and all of the younger girls serving were absolutely lovely and friendly - a real credit to the place. We also had food which was lovely. Only real negative was that my husband ordered mussels as a main but there were hardly any. They came in a huge pot which was filled less than half and some were closed so couldn’t be eaten. We came here especially for the mussels, which were Really disappointing for the price.
