“Nice cafe right at the Falkirk Wheel, good place to stop for a quick break after walking around. I’m vegetarian and there was enough options for me which was good. Food was decent, coffee nice and staff were friendly. Bit busy when we went and prices slightly on higher side, but I guess expected for a tourist place.”
- Mandy Rip
“Verry good place for really tasty Scottish scones. The Fish and Chips was perfect in crispy fresh butter and toast with tuna melt was delicious . The food was delivered to the table by nice clean professional chef.Is extremely good quality food. 👌🍀.”
- Liz Gailey
“Son has nut allergies, so ice cream is usually off the menu, but we always check as you never know! The staff at Grab & Go not only checked their allergy book but also opened a new container and used a clean scoop for his strawberry ice cream (in a milkshake as the cones weren’t safe). Outstanding service! Thank you.”
