We booked a table at Gali’s for a bite to eat before the Scotland/England rugby game, so needless to say the place was heaving.

The staff coped really well with the number of covers they had to deal with and the food was….OK. It’s not the best looking of places and the food doesn’t look too enticing wither when it arrives but it tastes good.

I did end up with a wine glass full of floaters and a hair in it though, I hadn’t noticed til I was futher down the glass or I’d have sent it back.

Good atmosphere, nice staff, just a bit dated and perhaps not the nicest of settings.

We ended up here after a botched hotel restaurant experience, and so glad we did.

This is a lovely pub, loads of atmosphere and the staff were great. The food was excellent too.

If we ever visit the area again I reckon we’ll be back.

Hmmmm, we stayed here in November prior to joining a cruise. It’s a typical express by holiday inn, but we left more disappointed than we should have.

When we arrived we were told that due to computer issues they couldn’t serve any meals or drinks. Instead we were offered a selection of not so nice looking takeaway menus or instead to pay for a taxi to take us out to a local pub for a meal. “It was entirely our choice…” well actually, no it wasn’t.

We ended up going out to a local pub and it wasn’t until mid journey back that the taxi driver said something about this hotel never offering any food…. Perhaps it’s just a ruse they use all the time.

They somehow managed to offer a shambles of a breakfast the following morning, cold bacon and sausages along with some equally cold and soggy croissants. The ‘restaurant’ was busy, dirty and seriously lacking clean and sufficient cutlery.

Wouldn’t use this place again, but hey, it was a bed for the night.

A few years ago now, we handed in my (now)husband’s kilt for a wee re-adjustment and thought we had nothing better to do than wait for it to come back all shiny and new (and fitting properly, ahem!).

We waited…and waited…and waited, until I eventually (admittedly) lost the plot and complained that “at this rate my husband wasn’t going to be able to wear his own kilt to his own wedding, they were taking so long”. It turns out that for the five weeks they’d already had the kilt they’d done nothing with it and as a result didn’t have the time to do the alterations we needed. We were getting married the following week…

Somehow, however, they managed a quick-fix and as we’d been waiting for so long they didn’t charge us.

I do want to raise a further point though, now that the time has come for him to ‘don the kilt again’. We’ve had the kilt assessed by another local company who have told us that the alterations that were done have indeed left the kilt looking – well – quite strange. The upshot is we’ve simply had to order another one up for him as the original one cannot be suitably fixed.

I’m quite prepared to believe that Clan were so busy they’d somehow forgotten about our request and of course we’re grateful that we weren’t charged, but that we now have to fork out for a replacement to ‘fix’ the issue is maybe a bit much to expect, they’re hardly the cheapest of things.

We called in here for some drinks after a gig at the Albert Hall. Nice bar but for goodness-sake bring your purse !

Also, don't expect any bar nibbles like nuts or crisps - no such thing !

We stayed at this hotel during a recent visit to London town and chose it purely because it's location and the price.

We were at a gig at the RAH and this hotel couldn't be more perfectly situated as it was within very easy walking distance, (approx 5 mins).

The rooms appear to vary. Ours was fine, quite spacious and airy. Though I understand some can be quite pokey with even pokier bathrooms. The staff were......well......there, they gave the impression they had far better things to do than talk to you and although pleasant enough when asked something, didn't offer much of a warm welcome.

Would definitely use it again when visiting the Albert Hall/Hyde Park areas.

Always wanted to try Carluccios and took the opportunity when in London last weekend.

The menu was.....OK, I'm sure it could've been a little more varied though. I had the pasta con funghi, which was lovely. Others had the lasagne, which didn't really look that great but they tell me it was good.

The staff were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was good.

Maybe a bitty expensive, but I'd go again.

As a lover of Thai food, I'm naturally going to like this place.........however, it's a little tired looking inside and it's never really that busy.

You honestly can't fault the food however, it's always been brilliant whenever we've been - I just wish they'd do home deliveries....grrrrrrrr.

Just new to Bridge of Allan, La Cucina is an Italian restaurant that offers some fabulous food.

I had the special when I was there, king praws with tagliatelle in a garlic sauce, ooohhhhh it was goooood !

The restaurant has a great little atmosphere and the staff are nice, very helpful and very knowledgeable of their menu.

We used to love coming here, but recently the food's not been THAT great. A tad overpriced too, but the locations' handy and depending on what way you're looking, quite picturesque.
