Reviews in Scotland

Booked online but when we arrived they weren't aware of booking. It appears they do a half price on mains on a Wed (we weren't aware) and they don't normally take bookings. Actually felt a bit unwelcome as it took ages for someone to sit us at a table. On the whole, mist admit, we found the staff a bit slow and not quite interested in us being there. Shame as the food was excellent. Not sure we will go back.

Lunch with my Mum Warm reception from staff. Clean restaurant and tables attentive staff. Steak pie was delicious well presented good portions. The beef tenderly cooked. Comes with green beans broccoli and roast potato’s. Proper Scottish steak pie. Proper old school hospitality and restaurant. Just Great location in Stirling. Enjoyed so much thank you.

Had a lovely lunch at Cafe Neuk. Really nice foccacia sandwich and cupcake. Excellent coffee too. My friend who is gluten free enjoyed having several items to choose from. Great to be able to book a table online. I will be back.

Loved the food and generous portions too. High tea is a fantastic Scottish tradition that I will be taking advantage of more frequently. We had a great time at The Golden Lion!

Table for two for dinner - good service, good food and wine. Restaurant nicely decorated for Christmas, good atmosphere. Very enjoyable evening.

Food was good but delayed due to a private function. Waiter's attitude left a lot to be desired. No interaction at all.

Everything was absolutely top notch, Service & Food

Very tasty lunch - we all had the fajitas bowl! Great service - thanks

Came with family & friends for my birthday, the service , the food & atmosphere was spot on be back soon

Booked online in the afternoon for a 6pm meal for 4 of us. Booking system can't be great as the people handling the actual service didn't have a note of our booking. Thankfully they had space for us. Meal and service was great, thoroughly recommend the Balmoral Chicken, and the Steak Pie. Lovely place, and the waiting staff checked in on us at various points to make sure everything was OK, and to offer drinks etc.

the food was really good i really enjoyed my burger i had with bacon

We've been to this place a few times & found the food to be excellent, the staff are lovely and the restaurant itself is really nice, it's nice and local to us too so pretty much perfect. Nuovo Sorrento.

I booked a table for 3 for 12noon on 9/11/24. I arrived early and was met with a lovely lady who welcomed me and showed me to the table. That was such a nice start to our lunch. Everyone was so helpful and courteous. The food was delicious and I liked that someone came over to ask how the meal was as we were eating. I had steak pie (something I don't eat normally so it was a treat) . It was really tasty. My friends had fish and chips and enjoyed them although one passed comment that the batter wasn't as crisp as she would have liked. However, she ate every bit of it. Thank you to all the staff who served us and cooked the food. It was just a lovely experience.

Had lunch with friends who had never been to Golden Lion before. I have been many times and was delighted that they thought everything was great. Loved their food, the service and the ambience. They also commented on the cosy character of the hotel. I'm sure they will return...as I definitely will.

Superb food and service. All set in a lovely restaurant

Amazing food and friendly staff. We had two incredible dinners here during our 3 night stay on Mull, and were so glad that we did. We loved both our meals and we tried different things each night. We thought the prices were great - especially for the excellent meals we enjoyed. We look forward to returning! Jen & Gary

We enjoyed Sunday lunch yesterday, tasty food and great service.

Have been to The Ravelston many times. Always find the food, staff and service all very good. The set lunch menu is excellent value for money.
