The Birds & Bees

We were here on Saturday lunch and the restaurant was quite busy. However, the service was fast and efficient. We had sirloin medium which cooked to perfection. Chicken parmigiana was great, melted cheese and chicken was juicy and tender. Fries can be better, we think it’s not flavourful. Sticky toffee pudding was delicious. Nice decor too.

We visited the Birds and Bees on Sunday for lunch to celebrate my birthday. We needed somewhere dog friendly for our two Bostons and we're so glad we found this lovely place. We had two Sunday roasts and a chicken dish and it was delicious. The beef was cooked to perfection and the yorkies did not disappoint. Desert was also unreal, we ordered sticky toffee pudding, Banoffee Pie and they even managed to find a cheeky Apple Crumple for me! As well as the lovely food, what really stood out was the service. Every single member of staff we spoke to was so lovely. They were attentive, professional but also warm and inviting, it really was incrediable service and for that, we'll definitely be back!

We had an absolutely amazing experience celebrating our July Summer wedding at The Birds and Bees! If you’re thinking about a wedding here, do it! Danny was fantastic from start to finish, tailoring a package that suited our needs perfectly. We explained that we just wanted a nice small event, nothing grand (it got bigger than we had planned) but nothing was ever too much hassle for him or the team. We genuinely felt like everyone there wanted to make the day as special as possible for us — and it truly was. Our wedding was four months ago and we’re still not over how incredible the day was. Our guests are constantly telling us how much they enjoyed it and how much it suited who we are as a couple, and that’s thanks to the team for bringing our ideas to life. The atmosphere was relaxed but still classy, the venue looked stunning, and there were plenty of beer choices at very reasonable bar prices — everyone was delighted! The food was also brilliant. We went for a more casual style with burgers, chips and nuggets, and it went down an absolute treat. There was plenty for everyone, and the team made sure all dietary needs were catered for, including gluten intolerances and nut allergies. Everyone felt included and well looked after. We also had a rainstorm on the day and had originally planned to be outside. The team acted so quickly, rearranging everything seamlessly. Danny updated me early while I was getting ready, which gave me time to adjust to the change — and honestly, the indoor setup turned out absolutely beautiful.- it was a bit of a squeeze for our large family, but the team made it work. We couldn’t recommend The Birds and Bees enough. Thank you so much to Danny and the whole team for making our day so memorable and special — it was everything we hoped for and more.

We booked The Birds and Bees months in advance and I was actually a little surprised when I showed up and my name was on the list. The staff seemed a little busy and tired but Scotland in general appears to have had a long summer of tourism and it's a bit understandable. The food here is fantastic and it's obviously a favorite among locals. Great atmosphere and very comforting. We would certainly return

This is a truly one of a kind pub/restaurant the food, decore and staff make it incredibly memorable! We were lucky enough to be served by Katy who attentive, personable and lovely the whole time! We treated ourselves to a spread of the starters and this was a brilliant choice it was a hearty amount of food all as lovely as the rest! We highly recommend the haggis, smoked salmon and sweet potato fries! Thank you all again a lovely meal made better by great staff!

Beautiful scenic location in the countryside with eclectic decor on the inside. The food was exceptional, the mango avocado salsa was a surprise favorite all around the table. Salmon was the juiciest I've ever had, with a wonderful crusty sear on the outside. Not pictured is the Banoffee Slice which was absolutely decadent, I'm seriously going to have dreams about it. Also a table favorite. Service was just okay, but the food made up for it. Can't wait to go back!

Great dining experience. Great cross between a traditional restaurant and a more modern one. I hade the steak pie and my wife had the salmon. Both were perfect. Atmosphere was eclectic farm. Food is traditional with a twist of modern. Only complaint would be the drinks were a bit light on alcohol.

Prebooked our table. Booked the stall table so there was plenty staff and bar staff could see us. We got seated on time. Waiter came and took drinks order. Took 20 mins to get drink and take order. Took just over a hour to get our main course. The chips were loo warms the steak pie was too salty. My husbands jumbalaya was loo warm also. Very disappointed. We have been coming here for years and enjoyed the food and service but after last night's disappointed we won't be back.. The service and the food was a big let down.

Oh wow! Ya gotta try the cheesecake! It was the smoothest cheesecake I've ever had! Please forgive the picture - I assumed the cheesecake would be ho-hum, so I took a bite before I took a pic. We also had the beef stew - everything was cooked perfectly! Decor is lovely I'd go back!

To be fair, they had a wedding event, a regular restaurant full of people, and our large group of 20. As a server (in a past life)- I get it, they were weeded in every sense of the word. HOWEVER- the vegetarian pasta I was served was terrible. And the fact that they didn't come back with water like ever, is unacceptable. The rest of my group had the pot roast which they liked just fine- but no one had water and we ran out of bread very quickly. It could have been better.

There has been improvement since my last review over ten years ago ( how time passes). Service has improved and food is quite good

As a local I've visited this place my whole life. As far as food goes it's probably a 8/10, but the atmosphere is amazing. The deco is a charming slice of USA, but the place itself is through and through Scottish. I'd recommend for anyone, hungry teenagers, a family birthday, a few drinks to catch up with friends. The waiting staff are kind, and helpful. The restaurant is clean and cosy. The food is tasty and filling.

Fantastic restaurant! Stopped here on a drive from Edinburgh to Inverness. My sister and I had jacket potatoes which were large and delicious! Good for vegetarians and gluten free! My brother had the macaroni and cheese which he loved! Finished the meal off with cappuccinos and desert. All yummy! Good quick service and nice atmosphere. Would certainly go back!

Yum!!!!!! Girl trip to UK - Gramma, daughters and granddaughters - delicious food, delicious craft ale, and fantastic, friendly service. Highly recommend!! (Haddock, Panini, Beef Pie, Vegan Indian Selecrion, Vegan Pizza, Lager & Ale)

Great atmosphere and great food. The staff was friendly and helpful. They have a great selection of food and beverages. Make sure to book ahead.

After starting the morning with the William Wallace Monument was looking for some thing hearty and fresh....The Birds and Bees delivered splendidly. Do not miss this Stirling Gem!

We were looking for a good place where to eat without spending a lot of money so we decided to eat here. This place is really amazing. Terrific location, an entertaining waiter and last but not least the food that is very very very good. We are definitely going to come back here.

Two adults three grown kids .Wallace monument and then this place .Im going to say I have eaten Steak in some of the "Worlds best"and the Sirloin 12oz is as good as any anywhere.My wife had the 8oz and was also impressed.Kids had ribs ,Burger and Mac cheese everybody very happy. Perfect setting .Courteous helpful and friendly staff. Excellent.

This is one of my 'locals' even though I don't frequent it as much now since I no longer have a friend living in the next street. I've always had good experiences here. The menu always has good specials - fish dishes are always nice, and I'm a fan of the BBQ ribs that appear from time to time. The steak pie on the regular menu is second to none. Market Veg and Chips that come with most dishes are always fresh and delicious. I would like to see more imaginative starters, and I think certain special starters - for example crab cakes - would be better on the standard menu rather than some of the other options. The steak is always good and comes with a huge selection of trimmings and optional toppings. Birds and Bees is a nice place to sit, comfy with a log fire and some great big tables to play games on. I've never had bad service here, although it could be friendlier - I've never felt like a 'regular' in this pub even tho I have been one for some time! There's a quiz on a tuesday that's well-attended now since Europa Ewan and his associate took on duties as Quizmaster. I have whiled away many a quiet evening with a friend playing games and talking about our lives and putting jazz on the jukebox. The high points are - specials menu, steak options, cask ales (the house ale, Birds and Bees, is fabulous, as are the other Williams Bros options on offer) and a huge selection of very good whiskies (every variety of Isle of Jura, for example). The decor is a little confused - never liked the cowhide that's covering so much stuff, but the sheep are iconic and I love all the farming paphernalia adorning the walls. This gastro-pub could be livelier, but it's still deservedly popular and a nice place for a quiet night out drinking good drink. It is slightly on the pricey side for pub grub but the portions and quality generally make up for this.

I think I've finally made up my mind about the Birds and the Bees. When in Cornton and not wanting to venture far for a quiet drink, it is the place I will most likely end up. But the service is terrible. Just the other night, my boyfriend's unfinished drink was taken away by a waiter collecting empty glasses. We quickly motioned that it still had a little left and he, not even looking at us and without saying a word, pushed it quickly back. The bar staff are also minimal in their chat, not saying much more than what's required to take your order. For these reasons, I never rush back to the Birds & Bees.

Friendly staff, have a good array of wines and spirits reasonably priced, a bit out of the way from the city centre the staff are young friendly and most helpfull, I personally choose to spend my christmas eve in the Bees catching up with old school and university friends, great pub with good food and an amazing atmosphere, can hold partys in its function room and can also do buffets for events

Food and the vibe was excellent, I think it's more of a family oriented bar though. I sat down at the bar and ordered food and it took some time for the staff to get around to taking my order and paying. They had their hands full serving the locals.

Well, I was just a strolling by with my pet hamster and decided to pop in for a wee fiz. While I found it unusual that the stools were set up upside down I ordered my Magners with ice anyhow. Before long, a nice curious young chap came by and stood next us and ask my wee hamster if he wouldn't mind joining him for a walk to the toilet and a fag.... ol' hammy took the bait and was gone for about 25minutes. When they returned, hammy was hairless and about 5lbs heavier. I instantly felt gutted knowing my Lil partner just ate the arse outta this flamer and lost his coat up his whindy pooper of love. Clearly, I had no choice but to gut that Lil quere with the bar spoon and reclaim hammy coat.

the staff are very friendly, with great offers and deals for the family, excelent food, and great atmosphere!

great traditional food, a welcoming atmosphere and lovely setting- all at a good price!
