Had steak pie for lunch. Absolutely excellent. Best ever. Beautiful meal.

We grab a drink and a bite here every time we're up in Scotland. Love this place and can't recommend it enough.

Stopped there for foods after visiting the highland cow/shop. (There’s no cows until march) Food was okay but main star for us was the soup of the day which are cream of tomato soup.Soup felt like it was home made and not too overly sour, soup it self was smooth but still have alittle bits of onion in it .10/10 for me.Fish and chip (haddock) was also great too really large and fresh and couldn’t fault it. I just wish there’s more Tatar sauce.Haggis ball was also good, recommend to try too if you are not a fan of haggis like me…it’s very delicious.If you enjoy this review please give me a thumbs up and a follow for more food adventures.This Would help me out a lot and greatly appreciated. ??

Dined at The Lade Inn, nestled at the entrance to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, and it's like stepping into a cozy Scottish haven. Surrounded by the countryside, the inn is surprisingly spacious inside, giving you room to breathe and soak in the atmosphere.One unique charm is their own brewed beer, which adds an extra touch to your dining experience. The service was quick, friendly, and remarkably helpful, making you feel like you're among old friends.Walking in, you're greeted by a festive explosion of Christmas decorations, setting the perfect Scottish holiday mood. To complete the ambience, there's proper Scottish folk music serenading from the speakers.Now, for the food, I opted for the steak pie. The pie itself was a treat; you could taste the ale infused into the sauce, and the portion size was hefty. The meat was tender as a Highland embrace. However, the vegetables and fries left me wanting for more flavor.Price-wise, it was just a tad above the pub average, but the overall experience made it worth every penny. If you find yourself at Loch Lomond's doorstep, The Lade Inn is a warm, welcoming stop for a taste of Scotland. ???????

Campervan stopover. Friendly. 2 front of house staff ( owners?) working very hard but keen to please.Log fire in bar. Restaurant area less homely but clean.Parking: 2 campervan slots seen. Cars in front of pub.

I have to admit I rarely give 5* to restaurants as there is always something wrong, either with a food or the service. My evening was pleasant from stepping inside the restaurant, warm welcome from the Staff, good choice of table by the Staff, good service and friendly manner from the Staff also.The food was amazing. When I say amazing I mean 5*.Myself, who does not a fan of haggist I loved the starter haggis balls with the tasty whisky sauce, my burger was also very tasty and filling, and I tried the chicken goujons in battered coat and OMG the best chicken goujons I ever had.This place truly amazed me in every way.You guys made my day.Thank you ?

Went in after a munro trip, taken straight to the table by very friendly staff, drinks on thr table in under 2 minutes of arriving, the waitress had a nice conversation with us asking how our day was.Food took about 20 minutes, absaloutly fine, I had fish, massive portions, struggled to finish the chips, freind had steak pie, again very large portion, fish was massive, main meal and 2 pints of Stella was £27, I think that's a fair price compared to some of the places I have eaten close to the lade Inn.We went in with hiking gear on, trousers coverd in dirt, the staff didn't care, some of the other dinners on the other hand gave us funny looks.Side note, to the people reviewing the lade in 1 star, if you are ignorant you will find ignorant, if you want 5 star + food, goto somewhere that's Michelin star, food is fantastic for the money.

Great homemade cakes and beers including their own they sell in shop next door. Lots of seating, adequate parking and open in winter season.

To be honest when I saw the decor I wasn’t expecting much but was very pleasantly surprised. The man who served us was friendly and the food was delicious. Would
We ate at the Lade Inn recently and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. the crispy haggis balls were a real treat.We had the dog with us and were made to feel very welcome, a little treat for the dog was really appreciated.The service was particularly good, table service for drinks and food and the staff were very attentive.We are looking forward to returning.

A lovely welcome, post a great, but very damp walk with our dog on the (old disused - now a walkway Callendar- Oban railway line.) Good clean loos. Restaurant was warm and comfortable. Seating (comfortable too) and service was very prompt. Food piping hot. It's not the Ritz, ( and if that is your bag - turn right at the road end, and head south for 434 miles.) But it's a good country pub- restaurant, with friendly staff and decent food. We've been regulars since lockdown eased and have never had any negative service or experience. Highly recommended!

Great place I accidentally stumbled across due to a road closure! Spent a bit of time browsing the extensive Scottish beer selection on offer in the beer shop, amazing selection really. Highly recommended. I will be back!!!

Tables sticky(wiping process defective). Had to "pull" the napkin off the surface!Handsome fireplace, well illuminated but seriously let down by the accumulated dust and unpolished hanging copper based pots and nicknacks. It was sad.Chicken goujons! In a batter but very very brown. Twice cooked ? not a successful look nor any taste of interest.Chips: Poor quality potatoes.Coleslaw: When buying in coleslaw at least be sure its "fresh".In all: a plate of food carelessly prepped, with no interest how it might taste or look.Sadly it matched the general poor quality of some Scottish/uk restaurants/pubs.Staff seemed content and unabashed with what they served.Heyho must remember to settle for a simple freshly made sandwich and just stop by the tree lined attractive river.

Very sparse menu and strange host - spoke very loudly and quickly. There were three of us, two had starters as our mains were the Steak Pie which would take 20 minutes to cook and diners were advised on the menu to order starters while they waited. The Prawn Cocktails were over £9 each and were very poor - tiny prawns with rubbery texture and the “Marie rose” sauce was weirdly watery. The Steak pie was only average and priced at £16.50 with a few frozen chips and some vegetables. A very small draught (or possibly poured from a bigger bottle) lemonade cost a ridiculous £2.25. The place itself was dirty with flies both living and dead. We went there as the reviews appeared favourable - I have no idea why…
