Stirling Castle Unicorn Cafe

Located inside Stirling castle. Decent cafe. Bit expensive though. Extremely friendly staff.

Great staff, lovely snacks. Stopped for a carrot cake and hot chocolate after our visit at Stirling Castle. Line moved quickly and the carrot cake was the best!

The soup is wonderful, and you receive a generous bowlful. However, the bread could be stored in a way that prevents it from drying out around the edges, as it comes in a nice, substantial piece. The staff is friendly, and the service is outstanding.

I had a rather stressful lunch experience. I picked up two kids' lunch boxes but discovered there were no sandwiches inside, so I assumed they were made at the counter. When I got to the till, I learned that I had to pick them up from a separate fridge at the entrance, which had a very limited selection (only cheese sandwiches left). This meant I had to leave the queue to get the sandwiches and then rejoin the end of the line. There were no signs indicating where to find the sandwiches, and the food displays were mostly empty with no hot food available. I eventually left the queue to see if I had overlooked something regarding where to find the food. Overall, it felt chaotic, with too many people and very few food options.

There are many delightful dishes to discover here, but I have to deduct two stars. I would recommend avoiding the fish, as it appeared to have been sitting out for an extended period.
