The Courtyard, Falkirk — Restaurant in Scotland

18/6/18 1:10 pm. Not to thick & not to thin lovely tasting lentil soup & also great tasting non greasy stovies + good service. Coffee was nothing to write home about.

19/3/24 Back in again at 1.20pm & i think that their restaurant is under new management from the last time i was in about 6yrs ago.

I went for the OAP meal, there were only about 5 customers in. The waitress was pleasant enough & i ordered their lentil soup & as in a few restaurants & cafés it came only luke warm & of course it was no bother for the waitress to heat up my watery soup, so i broke up my small non heated dinner roll & put it into my now hot bowl of lentil soup to thicken it up & it helped to add some flavour to the soup, probably 'cos of the butter on that wee roll.

My main course was the fish 🐠 & chips, well french fries 🍟 not the proper chunky chips, but they tasted ok & weren't greasy. The beer battered fish tasted just great & the batter on it was nice & crisp, the peas were nice too but soon cooled down. I felt that my meal was dished up on a cold plate 🍽️ which you all know isn't right. The waitress brought my pot 🫖 of T & it was nice of her to tell me to wait a wee while for it to get strong, which it did after i stirred the pot.

Another lady who might be the boss, came with a sweet sticky toffee pudding i think it was & a dollop of ice cream & i was just about to dive into it with my T spoon🥄 when she whipped it away & said it was for another table. I had a laugh 🤣 at that 'cos i thought it was a free sweet that i didn't order & was getting it as a complimentary one, because my soup 🍲 wasn't hot enough 🔥& i told her that when i went up to pay the bill.

Sat.11/1/25 Nice & cosy in here & I ordered the o.a.p. meal, but sadly my lentil soup was far too watery & not much taste from it but at least it was piping 🔥 I shouldn't have ordered it because of the last time I was in.

Back in the next day. Sun.12/1/25 My 🐠 & chips & peas tasted great. The batter on the fish🐠 was really tasty & lovely & crunchy & the 🐠 was nice & white & tasted very nice & the batter my haggis pakora wasn't at all soggy but nice & crisp & the sause had a nice nip from it - the chips were good too. The peas were luke warm including my plate. & all the Staff were very pleasant...

The Courtyard, Falkirk – A Hidden Gem You’ll Want to Return To

We had such a lovely stay at The Courtyard in Falkirk—a true hidden gem that combines comfort, charm, and a perfect location. The guest room we stayed in has only recently been opened to the public, and everything felt fresh, beautifully presented, and immaculately clean.

The room was neat, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy large bed that guaranteed a restful night’s sleep. Every little detail had been thoughtfully considered—from soft towels and calming decor to a well-equipped space that felt like a home away from home.

The location couldn’t be better—peaceful and tucked away, yet right in the centre of town with easy access to local attractions, shops, and restaurants. It really is the perfect base, whether you’re visiting for business or a relaxing getaway.

Breakfast was an absolute standout. Beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and served with genuine care—it was clear a lot of love went into every bite. It was the perfect start to our day.

Though our stay was self-contained, Melissa, the owner, made us feel so welcome through her thoughtful touches and communication. You can tell she truly cares about her guests’ comfort and experience—her warmth shines through in every part of The Courtyard.

We left feeling rested, well looked after, and already looking forward to returning. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a clean, cosy, and well-located place to...

I was at The Courtyard for lunch for my sons Birthday and we are so glad we did. Last time we were here many years ago I said I wouldn't be back but it's all changed, staff, renovation ect and now it's my family's favourite place to eat. It is affordable. Wasnt left waiting for long periods before and in-between meals and that make a big difference when my son has adhd and isn't able to sit and wait for to long. Food was spectacular and has all the favourites like mac n cheese and steakpie ect. The desserts was lush. The staff we so kind and welcoming. They made my son feel extra special for his birthday and listened to everything my son had to say and he really enjoyed telling the ladies about his his day and they listened and communicated well with him and leaving my boy happy. My son ordered the chocolate brownie (his absolute favourite) they brought it out with a sparkler in it for him and he was made up and made his feel extra special. This place & the staff definitely helped to give my son thee best birthday. It's a cozy atmosphere where you just feel comfortable. Left feeling very happy and stuffed lol.

100% recommend as you won't be disappointed.

Ps the salt n pepper sizzler is my new favourite, so if you like abit of spice then give it a Try. Thanks Ladies see...
