Blair Drummond Smiddy Farm Shop - Stirling

An amazing stop before setting off to the Highlands. The Farm Shop was full of local products (food and non-food). There was a cafe to sit down for a meal or snack, and coffee takeaway near the entrance. We ordered a slice of lemon drizzle cake and a plate of scrambled eggs and toast from the cafe - everything was very fresh and delicious. You could taste the quality of the ingredients. There were also a few highland cows outside the parking lot, and a fresh milk/milkshake dispenser. The farm shop also has very clean bathrooms. Overall, it was a great stop for us before venturing into the Highlands. We also stopped here on our way back to Edinburgh because we liked the shop so much. I highly recommend it if you’re in the area.

Came here for an easy quick lunch after visiting the Doune Castle. It's a massive Farm shop and also restaurant. Plenty of free parking right behind the shop on the big carpark.

It was a cloudy day, but dry. So we decided not to sit in the restaurant to have some lunch from the menu (even though dogs would be welcome), but went into the shop to get some goodies and had our lunch outside. Many tables there, but food from the restaurant is not getting served there (at least not at the time we've visited).

But getting some nice stuff from the shop was a good decision. Plenty of nice meat, meat cuts and much more to choose from. The shop has lots of food and grocery items, but also alcohol, soap and beauty products, arts and crafts and a lot more. It's fun to browse around the shop.

Boughts some salmon (Belhaven Smokehouse), aubergine dip, sausage rolls, Samosas and also some scotch eggs. The food and its ingredients were of high quality. A really tasty and easy lunch. The prices we've found were on the higher end a bit. Quality is there though.

A classic Scottish bothy. Really good selection of homemade cakes, sandwiches, souvenirs. We came for the milkshake machine which has incredible prices, and tastes so fresh. Once we discovered this, we came back twice in one week! Polish man working the outside food truck is so lovely and hospitable.

First stop north of Glasgow for me on a long day. A good hot chocolate and a properly jammy scotch egg were a very very welcome snack in a pod with heating. Great views while you're there as well, a taste of what's to come as you head further north.

Lovely farm shop and cafe. Fresh produce is very fresh with a good selection of items available. The milk vending machine is a great idea £3 for a glass bottle which you can use again and £2.50 for a plain or flavoured milk. The cafe is really nice, we had the burger and the minute steak baguette, both were really tasty. The chips are homemade.

Easy to find, just of the A873. Great layout with a huge variety of meats, preserves, gifts, sweet treats!. There is also a vending machine with fresh cows milk from Farrahs farm
Toilets are easily accessible and are top quality.
The cafe has a nice layout, waitresses are really kind and good service. Had lentil soup for lunch, quality of bread served with it let it down.
Would definitely recommend Smiddy Farm Shop

A lovely place to stop in for a coffee, lunch and shopping. They had the best hot chips we've had in the UK so far! Lovely service as well, great parking and views.
