Blair Drummond Smiddy Farm Shop - Stirling

Visited here whilst on holiday in Scotland. There is a good range of food from bakery section to butchers to cakes. The cakes were amazing wish i had bought some extras. We had lunch in cafe which was really nice excellebt service. The following morning we visited the express van outside for breakfast which was really nice. Worth a visit if in area.

We’ve visited here before on other trips up to Scotland but now we make it part of our journey. A lovely Farm shop which has been very well laid out. Always clean and the staff are very friendly. Meat from the butchers always nice and fresh. Looking forward to next time.

I joined group tour for a day tour and we had quick stop over here.
Overall, the place is lovely!
Perfect to have coffee, tea and snacks.
The view is stunning and so relaxing to chill a bit.

A bit overpriced, but it's got the goods.

We've been here a couple of times before to browse the farm shop, but this time tried out the café. We had a nice time, the café has a lovely, spacious view of the surrounding fields and plenty of light. We had,

Earl grey, 7/10, nice hot tea, served in attractive stoneware. Not much else to it really.

Nutella cheesecake, 8/10, luxurious creamy cheesecake, lovely rich nutty flavour, great consistency. Perhaps a little too sweet, but I really enjoyed it.

Decaf cappuccino, 8/10, same stoneware, good standard cappuccino

Chocolate orange cheesecake, 8/10, this cheesecake was less intesely flavoured than the other one, but no less tasty for it.

Overall we had a really nice café experience, and we'll probably be back to try some other things on the menu. As mentioned, it's all a little pricy, the markup on some of the things in the shop especially is a bit much - when you can find the exact same products online for 20% cheaper you've got to raise an eyebrow or two...

That said, the butcher has a nice range of cuts (we had a couple of steaks from there last time and they were great), self-service milk and milkshakes at the front is good fun, and the wait staff were very nice.

Had a great morning here!! Stopped off for breakfast which was really good. The haggis and black pudding were nicely seasoned, toast was nice and the eggs cooked perfectly.
Dog friendly too which we loved!
Had a quick wonder around the farm shop and a great selection of different things. The pies at the butchers looked amazing and will be back for one.

A super find this one, I highly recommend a visit.

Easy to access, park and enjoy.

Food was beautiful.

Love our trips here.

The amazing steak pies. An incredible selection of craft juices, sauces, snacks, beers and bakery and cakes.

The food from the cafe is absolutely top notch and the little takeaway van is amazing.

A great wee place if your serious about high quality food.

My most recent new purchase, the cloudy lemonade...Wow. Outstanding. But just one of thousands of amazing little independent products on offer.

Did I mentioned the milkshake machines? No wonder I'm getting a tad chunky.

I like the Smiddy it's a mix of cafe, butcher, greengrocer, grocer and gift shop.

They have expanded responsibly as they have expanded over the years.

The latest change is the entrance to the cafe is now at the "road entrance/ exit" end. My only issue is that they made the change before swapping the disabled parking spaces to that end. Knowing the management team though, they will soon have that issue rectified.
