Bridge of Allan is a strange place as I've never seen so many cafe's and tea rooms in such a small…read morevillage, I was meeting up with a friend and being over an hour early I went here to try them out. Still a pretty new looking place that's bright, modern and very clean, with the weather being cold and raining outside I needed a hot drink to warm me up. I sat near the back area of the cafe where I could see a log burner on display, not sure if this was an ornament but could have done with being lit. I chose the large latte with a slice of the fruit loaf, service was quick but the young server placed my order at the opposite end of the table than in front of me, with the knife being placed blade towards me, I've been in the hospitality trade for over 25 years and this is the first time that I've seen this. In the time I was there that was a whole twenty minutes I was asked for my order twice even though I already placed it at the bar, the confusion was that the servers where not assigned a particular section and clearly didn't know what they where doing. The table of two next to me had the same problem. The atmosphere was 4/5 Food & drinks 4/5 Service was a disappointing 0/5

Went in for breakfast on a cold, rainy November morning. The first thing that struck me was how…read morecosy the place was - there's a wood fired stove at the front and another through the back and they were blazing away making the place lovely and toasty. The space is nice - there's lots of room and although it got a lot busier quite quickly after we went in, there was nobody sitting really close to us and it didn't feel crowded. As an aside, I don't often comment on the toilets but I was actually really impressed with the toilets here, they were lovely and I liked the little notice board in the ladies' with local notices on it. The breakfast menu has a great selection, with everything from a full breakfast to pancakes to French toast to eggs benedict to simpler options. And it's really reasonable - french toast with bacon and maple syrup would only set you back £4.50, the full breakfast is under £8. I went for the eggs benedict with crispy bacon, Him Indoors went for the full breakfast. Both were good - not knockout fantastic (one day I'm going to write a book about my hunt for the best eggs benedict in Scotland), but really good and, considering the prices, seriously good value for money. We sat and had a second round of coffees afterwards (the coffee was lovely) and with breakfast and two drinks each for three people it came to around £35. The staff were super friendly, really chatty and the whole atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I'd like to go back to try their evening food as well to see how that compares, but I would definitely recommend it for a good breakfast at a great price.

This is a fairly small looking building tucked away up a back road next to a caravan park that…read moreunless you're either a local or a complete caravanning nut you'd never find in a million years....even saying that, I live less than a 10 minute drive from here and I would have had a bit of bother finding it! As mentioned, it looks fairly wee from the outside although it has a fair amount of outdoor seating for sunnier days but as you walk in you realise its like an oddly shaped tardis, walking past the bar it opens up quite far and the back of the building suddenly looks like it'd take several minutes to reach! The decor is all very fresh, pretty sure it's been recently decorated and the toilets are sprakly clean, always a plus point! Anyway. There was a group of 20 odd of us here for an 80th birthday and we were accomodated no problem, including the small demented human in a highchair at one end of the table, and my dad's partner who was in her wheelchair at the other end. Shortly after seating us all and unprompted, a small dish of freshly cooked veg appeared for my niece, along with some butter to mash through them which I thought was a nice touch. It kept her quiet anyway :P The food is a mixture of standard pub fare really, the portions are well thought out and the quality of the food is excellent. There wasn't a single complaint on either side of the table (rare indeed). My only niggle would be that the chips are of the bog standard frozen variety and to be honest, good chips aren't hard to do so there's no need for that. I think 4 of us had steak, all cooked differently (from blue right through to cremated) and they were all considered spot on. For me, they had medium rare down to a tee! We had 4 bottles of house wine on the table, 2 red (1 merlot and 1 shiraz) and 2 white (both Sauv Blanc), myself and my great uncle polished off the reds and I can tell you they were both very, very drinkable. Certainly too drinkable for a school night anyroads, ahem. The food is good value for money and prices are very reasonable although I am suspicious that this is do with the fact they're not well known outwith the local area. I would give this place ago in case that changes!

The Mac & Cheese side is big enough for a meal, we got the big one and didn't even make it halfway through. The cheese is rich and creamy with a lovely carmelized cheese & onion topping. It comes with what the Scots minimally refer to as a garlic bun. This manna from heaven is a light doughy bread with a thin layer of cheese, butter, and garlic in the middle and then topped with butter and green herbs (garlic tops maybe?). Despite the crowds and the noise we had a lovely time. The barmaids are super friendly and efficient and the barmen are quick-witted and sharp. Do yersel' a favor and git right in tae the place!

It's hard to avoid that most campus food tends to be only ok and that if you're at Stirling Uni…read moreyou'll eventually need to eat campus food unless you feel very motivated to travel from campus. Haldanes has relatively limited hours but is the best food on campus. As of this term it means a selection of panini, a live theatre meal, a main course with meat, a vegetarian main course, a carvery meal, and a salad bar. The options vary and are different every day, but after awhile you'll notice them cycle through options. I've had meals here that I've only somewhat liked but I've never had anything I dislike, and I have had foods I've really enjoyed. The standards I have for it do rely on the price of a meal being between £4 and £5, but you get what you'd expect and a bit more. They used to have weekly menus listed on the Stirling University's catering site but you now need to visit to see the meals of the day. It's a minor disadvantage but there's usually enough of a variety to find something you'll like every day. The main lunch eating hours are 12-3 now but they're open from 9-4 for just coffee and as a good place to work. It's the main place I eat when I need to eat on campus.
