The New Kirk Bistro/ Clachan - Stirling

Second visit to this lovely place, we were on our honeymoon and stopped by to have a bite to eat as we were staying locally. I knew what I wanted straight away, the steak pie with potatoes and veg, I had it last time we visited and it is the best steak pie Ive ever tasted, im a fussy eater but it is delicious. Also the lady who served us was very friendly and really down to earth, we had an amazing experience and will defently be back when we visit again next year.

Steak pie was tasty but terrible portions...walked away still feeling hungry, I get that steak is expensive but even the veg and chips were scarce...potatoes cost pennies, really wouldn't hurt to add some more...Politely said the manager that the portion was far too small, he shrugged his shoulders, didn't say anything and then walked away....waste of £10.50 won't be going back.

Steak and ale pies were absolutely stunning, a rich sauce that had us mopping up our plates and it was all we could do not to lick them after. Fish and chips were crisp to perfection, with good quality haddock. All four of us were in stitches and holding onto every word shared by the part owner who made us feel incredibly at home the minute we stepped through the door. Quick service, the barman was friendly, and we left with a rich knowledge of the history of the building and its surroundings. Sounds like there are exciting projects in the pipeline for future accommodation and it can only get better with so much love and care put into the place. Thanks for giving us a wonderful beginning to our holiday!!!

We liked the food and atmosphere and had a good time in here. We had burgers and beer, both very nice.

We visited the place on a quiet weekend for a quick lunch before going for a hike, had to wait for 20 minutes for a fun-size portion of soup. Unfortunately I can't recommend this place. At least it was tasty..
