10. The Byre Inn
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By cheeseboyUk
The Byre Inn is a lovely looking pub and we found the landlady to be really nice and friendly. Sadly, the landlord likes the sound of his own voice rather too much and his constant "jokes", often at the expense of the customers, really gets on your nerves. He simply wouldn't shut up and leave us alone, even when we were trying to read. As others have mentioned on here, he needs to learn when to back off and leave customers alone. His "jokes" at our expense were the kind you might have in banter with your mates, not with someone you've just met. The meals themselves were basic and not worth the price paid. We were then overcharged (no itemised bill, so we had to work it out ourselves) and had to complain. The music is certainly eclectic, but that's okay as long as it's kept in the background. Sadly, the landlord seems to think he's some kind of DJ and plays it so loud you can't have a conversation. The pub itself is a lovely building and could be a cracking place, but it's let down by the self obsessed landlord (whom I expect to post an acidic reply to this review as he has with other poor reviews) and the incredibly high prices. £5 for a point of bitter ? Welcome to the Byre Inn, Shoreditch !We won't go over old ground. Our prices are what they are. Please refer to previous responses.Our repeat business and wonderful reviews speak for themselves. Jason interacts with all customers and goes out of his way to make guests welcome as is regularly stated in other trip advisor reviews. The fact that he didnt get on with you says more about you than him.If you want to sit and read and not socialise can I suggest spending an afternoon in the bar of a pub isn't the place to do it. Again as with other posts, we have a quiet dining room, if you make the decision to sit in the noisier bar as you did, you will hear music! Shock horror! If you want to get into an "acid attack" slagging match please come back and speak to me, the lovely landlady, who will be more than happy to accommodate you. I have a few things to say to those who smile when leaving then launch personal and bitter cyber attacks on my family via trip advisor. Unfortunately none are suitable for public viewing.

We'd heard about this place, so thought we'd give it a try. I probably wouldn't use it again. The scampi and fish were overcooked and the chips were quite greasy.

Pre-dinner drinks and hors d'oeuvre in the bar, and then into the restaurant for their âtasterâ menu. 6 courses of exquisite food. Staff were friendly and attentive, food was excellent and wine menu complete. A very enjoyable and civilised dinner. The restaurant was quiet and not full. Iâd be wary of bringing children.
7. The Lade Inn

Family owned pub/restaurant offering local fresh produce in the beautiful surroundings of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Disabled accessible and family/dog friendly.

Lovely soup and great that it's dog friendly. Felt soup and baguette deal over priced for what you get- more mayo than prawn! Costs a few pound more than the baguette on it's own but without the crisps or salad. The lentil soup was very tasty though. Ate in the bar and lovely casual atmosphere but for £10 I would expect staff to bring cutlery, not walk past it several times and then tell you to get your own! Got the sense that this is a place that has become complacent on the basis of a good reputation and location but has let standards slip. On the plus side there is a car park which saves the hassle of Callander parking. Very sorry to learn you did not receive our usual efficient service. This should not have happened. Our staff are trained to bring cutlery in the bar however during busy times this may have been missed. Please accept my apologies.

A very old traditional establishment in Callander recently under new management. Mhor fish gets all the crit for its fish suppers but i honestly think the crown is better. Situated at the heart of main st.this quaint pub/ hotel/ restaurant has been a quality place for all of my 60 years visiting Callander. It has a great menu including a very good traditional steak pie. Staff are friendly and welcoming. If you are on a 3 night stay and eat here, the Waverley and chinese village,you will be well satisfied . Enjoy!!

Went to Vanacher Lochside recently to attend a 60th birthday party. We were unbelievably lucky with the weather, sat outside and had an excellent time. The service was first class and food was very nice indeed. No complaints at all.

A lovely eatery in the heart of the trossachs serving Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and everything in between. A wide variety of homebaking available. Fully licensed.

I had read elsewhere this place was dog friendly but seems not! Popped in and asked if dog was allowed no and was quickly told no. Staff member was polite enough but could have maybe offered take-away instead? Busy lunchtime elsewhere but the place looked empty so they maybe could have been more accommodating and let me look at menu for something to take away. Thank you for your review. It seems a shame you have given us such a bad star rating as the staff are only following the rules as politely as possible!! Our restaurant is very small and that is the main reason we don't allow dogs. We just don't have room for potentially several dogs. It's a pity you didn't ask for a menu or ask if we did take away as I'm sure the waitress would have happily obliged.

Post Code fk17 8bl Next Door To The Rob Roy Centre Callander Scotland
Reviewed By Karen S
We walked down from the information center to this lovely Deli cafe right next to the church just off the Main Street. We tried their soups of the day which were Mushroom soup and Lentil soup served with freshly baked bread and butter. I also bought some really good crackers. The people were so friendly and helpful. You order at the till and they bring it to your table when the food is ready. Had 1 small but very clean toilet

Scottish Bistro, serving local fresh produce at Loch Achray, the heart of the Trossachs. Booking essential.

Just returned from an absolutely stunning meal at Scottâs Bistro! Faultless service, food, value for money! My partner had the Haggis starter which was lovely and the Pork and Apple burger which he loved and said that without a doubt it was the best pork heâs ever had, super tender. I had the slow cooked lamb shank which was absolutely incredible! All the food was piping hot and so delicious, even the chips were outstanding! My partner asked for a negroni cocktail which they happily accommodated. Mark who owns the restaurant went above and beyond, amazing prompt service and so friendly and personable, conversing about our stay and interests. Our highest compliments to Mark, the chef and the whole team. An absolute must visit if you are anywhere near the area!
