The Faerie Tree Inn - Stirling

After returning from Loch Chon, we decided to try our luck at getting a table at this restaurant. Despite being fully booked for Easter Sunday, the staff was able to accommodate us. The food was fantastic and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was plenty of parking available as well.

While staying at the holiday park nearby, I decided to stop by this restaurant for a meal. The atmosphere was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious with generous portions. There was a wide variety of options to choose from, as well as a specials board for those looking for something different.

I went to The Fairie Tree for Mother’s Day after booking a table four weeks in advance. We were seated quickly and our drink and food orders were taken promptly. The menu offered basic pub grub, nothing fancy or a la carte. My three teenagers ordered haddock and chips, while I opted for the chicken and leek dish. A large party of 8 was seated nearby and their starters arrived quickly. However, we had been waiting for 20 minutes since ordering our food. After waiting for 50 minutes to an hour, I finally had to flag down a waitress to inquire about our food. She discovered that our order had not gone through to the chef due to a computer error, without offering an apology. Our food eventually arrived after another 20 minutes, which was decent but nothing special. When my son wanted dessert, it took another 10-15 minutes to get someone's attention. He ordered sticky toffee pudding, which again took 30 minutes to arrive even though the restaurant was not busy. We were about to give up on the dessert when the chef informed the waitress it was ready. There was no apology for the delay. When we asked for the bill, we didn't receive any sort of reduction for the poor service. The staff did not seem interested in addressing our concerns, and overall the service was slow and unfriendly. The food was overpriced and mediocre. I do not plan on returning as the experience was disappointing.

Beautiful lunch in faerie tree. And amazing gluten free menu. Was there during a disastrous flood due to bad weather. Ended up stranded there and owner took us back to our hotel in his 4x4 as we couldn’t get our car through flooded roads. Above and beyond his call of duty and thank you so much. Extremely kind gesture xx

Been walking in the area so called in for an early dinner. Not very busy so we were soon served. Meal came out piping hot very good . We had the Cullen Skink and the Scampi and Chips with a nice fresh salad. Very good...
