Legendary Fish & Chips in the Heart of Callander
A cosy Scottish café where portions are generous and the welcome's always warm
Your home away from home on Main Street
Right at the heart of Callander's Main Street, Puddingstone Place is the kind of café you tell your friends about. We're the spot where locals come for their morning coffee and visitors stumble upon what they later describe as "better than the award-winning places."
Our secret? There isn't one. Just honest Scottish cooking, portions that'll fill you up properly, and a team that treats you like family from the moment you walk through the door. Whether you're after the crispiest fish and chips in town, a proper plate of haggis, or just somewhere warm and friendly to rest your feet, you've found it.
Coffee, cake, and a warm welcome
Whether you're popping in for a quick brew or lingering over lunch, our coffee hits the spot.
Your four-legged friend is welcome. We've got a lovely sun-trap out the back for al fresco dining.
When the Scottish sun makes an appearance, our outdoor area is the perfect spot to enjoy it.
"Welcoming, warm service which makes you feel right at home" — that's the Puddingstone way.
Real food, real atmosphere
Don't just take our word for it
"Haddock and chips were standout — crispy (both the fish and the chips) without being greasy. Also the biggest hand cut chips I've come across. Our party enjoyed it even more than the award-winning places they tried yesterday!"
"Absolutely upstanding food, the best steak pie my hubby has ever had! The fish n chips was delicious and again a great portion size. The staff were friendly, and the cafe itself is lovely and inviting. A lot cheaper than its competition."
"My roast turkey special was unbelievably good. I felt like a kid again and inhaled it — even though the portion was enormous! The waitstaff was also lovely. Needs to be ranked higher in reviews!"
"When you walk into a cafe in a small town and they tell you it's a 30 minute wait at 1pm you know it's worth it. The cozy, local eatery is a must stop. The highlight was the sweet potato fries with bacon drizzled with maple syrup."
"Nervously tried haggis for the first time. One bite and nerves evaporated. Really tasty haggis and cheese panini. Went down a treat. Lovely coffee to follow. Nicely decorated inside. Service was fast and friendly."
"We stopped off for a coffee, and ended up having a cooked breakfast. Glad we did! We popped in with our dog, and were shown to a lovely little sun-trap out the back. Great fodder; great service."
