While it may have been a some time since we had the opportunity to sit down and enjoy a pint and some delicious food at our local, with restrictions loosening it won’t be too much longer until we can get tucked into a nice cold draught beer with accompanying pub grub.
It does beg the question though, where are the best ale-houses for food in Falkirk? We asked readers on the Falkirk Herald Facebook page where the best place is to get some pub grub in the area.
Like many businesses, pubs have been hit incredibly hard by the pandemic, and they will require our support to get them on their feet again when they are able to reopen.
So here’s where our readers will be going for a pint and a delicious dish when restrictions are loosened.
