Restaurants in Stirling

Last weekend was our fifth stay at The Golden Lion. The evening meal was passably good and we enjoyed the 'Piano atmosphere'. However the organisation of breakfast was a bit shambolic with a limited number of staff run off their feet. We arrived early as we needed a quick getaway. It was 20 minutes before we ordered our hot food and a further 40 minutes before the wrong food arrived. This was quickly rectified but aspects of our selection were still not right. We couldn't wait any longer so we just ate what was brought and cleared off as quickly as we could - already at least half an hour behind schedule. The number of half cleared plates at other tables suggested to us that either other travelers had to leave early or that the standard of the food wasn't as expected. I would recommend some fresh fruit be an option. Our room was very pleasant.

Visited for the first time yesterday and have no idea why I have not been sooner. The service was friendly and the food wonderful. I had the roast beef sandwich with horseradish mayo and rocket with a mug of lovely tomato and red pepper soup. Huge portions with the thickest fluffy bread. I can’t wait to try the beef burger when I come back is it looked very impressive. Thanks for looking after us .
