Reviews in Stirling

Our party of 6 was apprehensive at first when our server told us they were out of the 3 main entrees (turkey, salmon, and ribeye). However, the appetizers and remaining entrees were delicious and beautifully presented. Service was friendly.

Been here on several occasions Good Food but service this time very poor . Lack of staff this visit , Never written a poor review before. Staff from the office asked to help out

Really good service. Comfy atmosphere. Made welcome.

Food was lovely when it finally arrived waited 20 mins for our drinks and 45 mins for our food people were coming in and getting theirs b4 us so terrible service got the dessert menu but nobody came to take our order so we gave up and left

After a bit of trouble getting in with my husband in wheelchair access not really disabled friendly,we all had a good time and I thought the meal very tasty and good value for money would recommend it

My friend and I had lunch on Tuesday which was delicious. We had turkey and cranberry sandwiches. The staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back.

Booked Christmas Afternoon Tea as advertised in first page of the Christmas brochure. The waitress did not know about this and insisted they did not do this. Went to see her manager, eventually came back and asked us whether we wanted Christmas lunch or the ordinary afternoon tea. We got the right thing eventually but it was disappointing. Cold soup, no scones, had to go up and ask for the tea which was never refilled, plates not cleared, staff totally uninterested. Second time recently had a poor experience there. Definitely gone downhill since the takeover.

Good atmosphere and warm welcome. Tiny prawn cocktail, main course was lovely but cheese board should have had 3 different cheeses however we only had lots of cheddar. Informed staff that we were disappointed, took £5 off price of cheese board.

We are over visiting family for Xmas and I had stayed at the Golden Lion about 10 years ago and and really enjoyed my stay. Hoever this time we wre only dining. We came yesterday ( Thursday the 18th Dec) for Special Xmas Afternoon Tea ( which I booked in Bermuda before we left), and it was absolutely fabulous; we have had lots of afternoon teas in different countries and expensive places in London, but this one was BY FAR the best ; to start there was a large cup of slightly spicy lentil and carrot soup - just perfect!! Next the sandwiches were so tasty and fresh , and with lovely combinations of fillings; and I liked that they were smaller, and plenty of them, so you could enjoy a larger variety of tastes/ flavours. Then came the cakes which wre really irresistible -small almond cakes, chocolate fudge, lemon sponge and just perfect little Xmas pies ( etc, etc!!) Lastly there was a soft, mouthwatering scone with a separate dish of raspberry jam and another dish of fresh cream - all, was just a perfect Xmas treat!! So tasty that we came back today ( Friday 19 Dec) for lunch - which did not disappoint; we had a double burger with double bacon and cheese on a tasty bun accompanied with onion rings and large chips ( which we prefer) - and all was piping hot and really tasty. And, we are coming back again - for - another soup and a sandwich; all so well prepared that we specially sent our compliments to the chef. And, finally we were seated promptly and had polite, efficient service . I rate everything 5/5 but below is greyed out and wont let me click.

Although I enjoyed my meal ... a bit disappointed that the starter I chose stating it was gluten free was not in fact gluten free (they said it was an error on the menu) so I had to choose something else ... then I proceeded to choose the Turkey dinner again didn't come with stuffing, pigs in blankets or Yorkshire Pudding so was disappointed in that as well because I know that these items are available in the shops ... however what I did eat was lovely. Maybe a rethink needed as charged the same price but with a few things missing from my plate!!

Amazing Christmas lunch 19/12/25 @ 2pm. We had 2 course set menu £19. -10/10

A nice warm atmosphere. Staff were efficient and courteous. Liked the piano player who warmed to the attention of a few children. Would have liked to have heard a couple of Christmas tunes seeing it was the last weekend before Christmas, maybe we missed them! But made a great evening meal rather than listening to popular music.

Ladies late pre theatre meal. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal etc. 4 of us has the Honey Garlic Sticky Chicken it was delicious so much so I have googled looking for a similar recipe. Making it this weekend. Thank you.xx

Dear oh dear. Myself and a party of 9 went out for a Xmas meal on Friday 12th December. We pre ordered our meals via E mail as requested by hotel staff. However, on the night we were told that 4 of our party could not get the dessert they had ordered as they had ran out. This was 5.30 pm. ?? The majority of the Staff were sullen , uninterested , inattentive and disorganised. Very poor. The food was also average at best. I asked a staff member if someone could take a drinks order for the table and was told that I could order at the bar. (Sorry, I thought I was the paying customer. ) The restaurant was not busy and we were placed in a soul less area with an infernal piano continually playing. We had gone to the Hotel last Christmas and had a good time. Hence we re -booked. Needless to say, we won’t be back .

Fantastic service and the festive lunch was great value! Food was excellent and the waiting staff couldn’t have been nicer. The restaurant was busy, which meant service was a bit slow. This wouldn’t normally be an issue but my mum had an optician’s appointment and the staff went above and beyond in slowing us to have dessert after she’d been to the opticians! Absolutely wonderful service - thank you!

Good location with a Scottish theme and feel. Food tasty served hot and fresh. Portions adequate.

We had a lovely lunch in Cronies Bar, we had difficulty in getting through on phone & email trying to book. Staff were very good & surroundings excellent. Would highly recommend.
