Westerton Arms

If your looking at a review for this pub, then you are probably thinking about eating there. That was our first mistake. Our second was actually going there...our third was staying longer than 2 minutes! Service is unbelievably slow, and about as unnattentive as you can get, the table we were sat at was so small and wedged into a corner it was uncomfortable. As for the menu...uninspiring to say the least, unoriginal and showing a total lack of creativity from the kitchen. We ordered the sharing platter as a starter, an assortment of microwaved and deep fried frozen mush and burn garlic bread. The mains, a fillet steak and a burger were appalling. The fillet steak, ordered medium rare, was well overcooked to the point where it was tough and unpalatable, and the bbq cheese burger was disgusting! The bun wasn't defrosted enough, and was still frozen, the sparse sprinkle of cheese hadnt even melted and the onion rings(a side order) were barely defrosted, never mind crispy. The manager eventually cleared our table 20 mins after we had finished eaten and when asked if everything was okay we told him it wasn't but he had no interest, except getting our money. The restaurant is busy, but its busy with older people who clearly must have lost all their tastebuds!!! It feels more like a retirement home canteen than a gastro pub. There are plenty of restaurants in and around stirling, and we certainly won't eat there again. If you have any sense at all, neither will you.
