The Auld Smiddy Inn in Perth & Kinross

A real pub. My girlfriend and I had a very, very good time in this very pleasant and lively bar. The service was excellent, Marina treated us great, and it was her first month in the town since she came from outside. That day we were lucky enough to enjoy live music, very fun!

My partner and I love this place staff are amazing food is always great great atmosphere just love it

Fine place for a dinner, with (pretty loud) live music. Nothing to fancy, but the people are very kind.

We had a great lunch. The staff were very friendly and food lovely. A nice atmosphere too with a cosy fire.

Popped in for a drink on the last Sunday of the year. Place was busy with a mix of tourists and locals. Staff were friendly and had a good atmosphere.

Wonderful staff, perfect food and great atmosphere. Well done, keep it up.

Everything was amazing, we really like the food and the atmosphere great, we went twice in a day. Highly recommended, especially the chicken burger! Also dog friendly which is amazing

Lovely meal, roaring fire, friendly service

A nice pub with very good food! The Haggis Bon Bons are particularly recommended. Our Sunday Roast was also excellent.

In for a quick bite to eat today while collecting a Christmas gift.. lovely place.. looks like it could be good for a night out.. tad pricy for 2 sandwichs and soup but tasty

Great place. Very nice food and drinks. Excellent live music. Smiling and helpful stuff.

We are travelling and stopped over for a quick lunch at Pitlochry, and I chanced upon TASI restaurant and had a lovely meal there! We ordered soups, scallops, burrata, salmon salad, venison pie, and steak fillet sandwich, which were all super delicious! Absolutely loved the service and restaurant vibe!

Food and service was great. Lovely cosy atmosphere. Would highly recommend a visit if in the area

Very friendly pub with a nice atmosphere The food was excellent and would have no hesitation in returning.it is in a good location and close to the shops

We had a burger + chips and a chicken sandwich. The burger was good but the chicken sandwich was average. This place has a cosy atmosphere and vibe but it is very expensive. I understand that this is a small town but I was shocked by the prices.

Lovely place, tad expensive. But that's Pitlochry for you

We were there in early summer 2012. The Highland Games had just ended when we were in town and went out to eat at the Auld Smiddy Inn. I had mussels and my wife had fish and chips. The food was very good. I can still remember it well today and am happy that other guests also like it

I was staying for work in a nearby hotel (Westlands of Pitlochry), who does not offer dinner, so wandered the short walk to here. It had been snowing shortly before I arrived, so the feel and atmosphere upon arrival was wonderful and magical. There was a fireplace on and the other guests were relaxed and also enjoying the place. I was quickly seated and given a menu. The order for food and drinks was quick, as was the dinner service. I enjoyed a large beef burger, with a nice pint of Cold Town larger. Perfect spot for a spot for either a relaxed drink or full meal. Thank you to the team for the warm welcome

In our Highland tour , most magical place was for us is the Auld Smiddy Inn. Fish and chips especially delicious, recomended highly.

What a lovely pub. I popped in as I was staying in a b&b around the corner and managed to get a table. I had haggis bon bons followed by chicken and black pudding pie, and both were absolutely delicious. A good selection of local brews. The staff are young yet enthusiastic, moving at pace, keeping everyone happy but still managing to be engaging. Well done to front of house and kitchen, a really enjoyable dinner.

We stopped here whilst passing through Pitlochry on a tour. The staff were very friendly and inviting. We had a drink sat but the fire, perfect on a cold winters evening. Sadly, we could not stay longer otherwise we would’ve been there all night. Would highly recommend

The Auld Smiddy Inn was an easy walk from our hotel so we decided to check it out. We had a table near the fireplace that was warm and cozy. Service was attentive and we enjoyed the fish (haddock) and chips.

Tremendous restaurant ; friendly staff with a n interesting and adventurous menu . Fish and Chips was really tasty as was the venison . Also nicely busy which is always a good sign . Highly recommend visiting whilst in Pitlochry . We shall return again without a doubt .

Very tasty food and beer, good service and attractive location.

Under new owners this pub has been very much improved. We have been to pitlochry many times. We had Sunday lunch and it was fabulous would really recommend. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Some portions are small, but the food is tasty. Friendly staff and clean place.

It is trying to punch above it's weight but not quiet there Best stick to the sandwiches. Otherwise rather expensive.

Great place to stop for lunch. Very warm and welcoming staff. Food is delicious with plenty selection. Dogs welcome which is always a bonus.

I had the curry night special and it was excellent value - and was truly delicious.

Had a great night at the auld smiddy. The atmosphere was fabulous which only comes from good vibes, this place has that. Lovely food, great service and a lovely bunch of staff. Keep up the good work Tony and crew.... Just get the strawberry daiquiris going 😂... Tony knows!!! I did have a light lunch on the Sunday, haggis bon bons with whisky sauce. Omg I loved them. I'll be having my Sunday roast before going home next time... It looked delicious!!! The music the night we were there was 3 young local lads, they were so good. They did a range of different cover songs and they did a great job. See you soon, ya all..

We had soup and cider and it was delicious

Stopped by for birthday lunch, greeted warmly and offered lunch even though was like 2mins before food orders stopped. Tasty food had the venison pie.

Nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

So I've been in a lot of pubs . Part of my life. Must be said the service in five separate visits over a month so far has been amazing . Properly looked after drinks. Friendly smiling staff . Very clean pub . Lovely pub food . For a tourist based location it's surprising to see standards so high and service so friendly. Thank you .

Visited during a quick tour stop, theywere exceptionally quick in accommodating us. Quality produce and beer selection. Cheers

We had a big family meet up. The pub set the table very well for ten people. The service was excellent and the food delicious, thank you.

Sad to say very disappointing. Waiting staff polite and efficient otherwise the eating experience very poor. Had venison pie with " seasonal steamed vegetables". Unfortunately, the pie was dry and the vegetables consisted of one half of a small carrot and a small cauliflower stalk. Spoke to a local couple sitting next to us who ate little of their meal, later saying to us that food there was very good on some days and awful on others....Oh, and meals are expensive. Staff, however, gave us a 10% discount once we quietly pointed out our dissatisfaction....

Went in for an evening meal. Not looking for much so picked a salad. Very nice. Staff friendly and efficient - will be on the top of our list next time we’re in Pitlochry. Needed gluten free and, whilst their menu doesn’t list specifics, the staff clearly knew what was needed and were able to point out options (and what would be changed to suit).

Went in on a busy Saturday night, wasn’t expecting to be able to get a table - however they did have a table free. Staff were all excellent, friendly and all very attentive. Food was great, table service was great - prices were very reasonable and had a fantastic chilled out evening sat in the restaurant. Would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone.

Basic pub grub which is insanely overpriced. They’ve clearly upped their prices to cash in on the enchanted forest. I wouldn’t have minded if the food and service matched the cost but it really didn’t. If you’re going to pay £10-£12 for a starter, you expect it to be Michelin standard. We waited 25 minutes for tap water, and when we asked about it we’re told abruptly that the bar was very busy. We had ordered plenty of bar drinks as well which came fairly promptly, so assume they just weren’t prioritising anything which didn’t make them money. Which kind of sums this place up.

It was our first visit,didn't eat there,drink prices were not to bad,friendly staff and good Atmosphere.

Very cozy pub, good food, dogs allowed inside. The Scottish atmosphere is warm and friendly.

Food was great. We expected the decor to be more historical, tham modern.

Amazing Sunday Roast. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We are on Holiday at Milton on Fonab. Were given complimentary drinks. Great atmosphere plenty of ales to choose from which made Hubby happy. Will definitely be back before we leave.

Great bar with outdoor seating.

Excellent food! Beautiful and delicious salad. Only tea I had in the UK made w loose leaf. A place to return to frequently.

Small, friendly restaurant. Very small bar but nice to have a beer

Such fantastic helpful and friendly staff and food is delicious highly recommend

This is a fantastic pub. From the food to the service to the atmosphere - everything was absolutely spot on. It has a great look and feel inside and out. We came to town for one night and picked this as it looked good, authentic and local. The local beer - Smitty lager - is a very clean beer and worth a pint. They have a good selection of whiskies including local ones. And lastly, the cheesecake is delicious.

Good pub with good choice of beers. Live music most weekends

Cozy pub with good food and friendly staff.

Beautiful spot, over from dublin staff were extremely nice

As usual great service, great food and a brilliant atmosphere.

Was just in for drinks but the food menu looked nice. Staff friendly and was able to enjoy few pints of my favourite beer from Orkney

Busy and noisy bar. Very pub grub, limited choice, various types of pies, burgers fish and chips and couple of others. Food was good quality.

Good service. Bad food. Poor value for money.

Fabulous pub in Pitlochry. Very friendly staff welcoming us with our bairn and two dogs. Food was delicious. Can highly recommend.

A great pub with great pub food. Service was almost too quick !

Very good food, friendly service

Not the best, not the worst. Food looks nice, but were too oily, everyone felt very heavy after.

We've only been to Pitlochry twice and dined here both times because it's that good. Between the excellent assortment of pours, plus a nicely inventive menu, this is the place to stop for discerning diners who want more than your standard fare. The servers are all so kind and friendly as well and the dining room is both modern and cozy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. 3 of us and we all had something different and we all said how good it was. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Atmosphere was very welcoming We would have had a little walk back to our hotel but staff arranged for a taxi to pick us up All in all a very enjoyable visit.

Very friendly staff, very accommodating for us as a larger group. Food was good as well, definitely a recommendation.

It’s the town centrepiece. The true Scottish pub experience. Loved the food. Loved the ambiance and even more loved the service. Made my day worth it. Probably one of the best places to get a good drink in town.

Lovely meal with a lovely atmosphere. Staff were friendly and prompt. Lots of space and room to eat outside if wanted. Prices were reasonable. The best meal we have had since being in pitlochry. Definitely would rate this higher.

Try the cask ales here - won’t get this in the States! Second time here and wonderful again.

Great service. Food not so good, rather poor price to quality ratio.

8 of us just popped in one evening last week and not only was the food good but nothing was too much trouble. Thank you x

We arrived unannounced with a small dog and were given a lovely friendly welcome. Drinks menu is extensive and the Dinner menu was outstanding. Food arrived promptly and piping hot, beautifully presented and served by friendly and helpful staff. Food was deliciously tasty and cooked just right. However, while the pudding was well presented and tasty, disappointingly Chef seems to be unaware that the Scots dish "Cranachan" is in fact a concoction made from Raspberries, cream and whisky. Overall a delicious Italian meal, thank you we will be back.

Good friendly staff with good range of beers and food.

Good food, nice service and clean sanitary facilities...very nice

Popped in for a cheeky pint. Lovely pub with great location and atmosphere.

What a gem of a pub. I just had an ox cheek starter but it was superb. The staff and atmosphere were excellent.

We went to this place on our recent visit. We had seen reviews on the internet showing food. The meal we went in for the Seafood Platter was no longer available, was 3 years out of date. Very expensive food and drink. No atmosphere. Would not return. Thank you for your response. It was your serving staff that told us the menu was 3 years out of date. Our budget is not in question if the food drink and service were worth the price we would have paid gladly as we have at many other establishments. You were not there at the time of our visit so you cannot possibly comment on our experience. You may have many satisfied customers but we were not. My husband drinks premium lager of which there was none. He was offered a local lager which he took a pint of. He left half of it and bought a pint of cider instead. Like I said the Seafood Platter was what we specifically came for how are we to know there are 2 web sites. When we asked about ti's meal and showed a picture if it the serving staff told us that menu is 3 years out of date. Not a word about there being 2 Web sites. So maybe your staff need to be retrained. I understand you don't like negative comments but you are providing a service which we are paying for so we are entitled to have an opinion.

Superb atmosphere. Slightly high price

parking available, good food, brilliant service, amazing visit

The best pub we've encountered on our journey so far. You can really feel the quality and freshness of the ingredients. The menu, besides the standard fish and chips, offers other delicious and interesting dishes, which can't be said for other restaurants in the area. I really liked excellent beetroot salad and vegan eggplant dish. The interior is newly decorated and cozy, they have a beautiful garden, the staff is very friendly, and you can clearly see that the restaurant is run by people who truly care.

Had the steak sandwich, truly inedible, steak looked okay but could not be chewed enough to make it edible. Service was very good and the atmosphere was good.

Visited this pub for a quick pint (or 3). A good range of beers and spirits. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Didn't order any food but what I saw looked great. Will definitely be back to sample that

Amazing Sunday Roast. We popped in for lunch with 3 generations of our family. Everyone chose the roast lunch although there were plenty of other options. Some of us had lamb, some had beef. All came with a Yorkshire pudding, seasonal veg, roast potatoes, parsnips and lots of fantastic real gravy. I don't often rave over a roast dinner, they are easy enough to cook but honestly,this one was perfect. No complaints from my moderately fussy family either. No starters but a few of us had a dessert. Sticky toffee pudding and creme brule were very good. Service was friendly and efficient, accessibility was excellent with parking nearby. Great atmosphere too. I can't praise this restaurant highly enough.

A great choice if you're in the area. Quick service, lovely location, two ales on tap, and dog friendly. The roast was delicious but the vegetarian pie was just okay, it was more like a chili, and the portion size was small. Still, a very good experience and I would recommend it.

Great little pub, friendly staff and great food.

We found ourselves staying overnight in Pitlochry, so decided to have a drink and something to eat here. Looks very welcoming from the outside with colourful window flowers and hanging baskets, large black and white umbrellas and a lovely beer garden. Good drink selection but unfortunately wine glass had lipstick on it, it was quickly replaced but really shouldn't have happened in the first instance. We moved inside to eat, the interior is OK, we were given a table through the back but immediately asked to sit in the front, the back is lacking atmosphere and was empty. Good food choices however we weren't told about the specials which was a shame 😕. The 2 chaps behind the bar were great, always happy and very efficient, I think 1 was Lewis? The girls were more interested in chatting to each other, giggling and chewing gum when serving and talking, really disgusting.

I ate chicken burgers there, I can only recommend it, it was very tasty and the service was very nice

Another great meal , food is fabulous.

Great pub with a nice offering of food Live music on the Saturday night was absolutely excellent Had the venison pie which was excellent, the veg was a little uninspiring but that wasn't what the meal was about. Pie was truly lovely

Great service - delicious beer - great location

Excellent meal! We had the chicken and black pudding pie, the haggis Bon Bons, and the ox cheek. Fast service despite being busy, and everything was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous place with delicious food. Staff was very kind and accommodating!

Nice pub concentrates on food mostly which was very good. Had a nice lunch service was goof

Delicious food and the service was top notch

What a great night we had in here! Live music was brilliant and staff were great👍 can't comment on food

Nice steak ciabbata and fries with a side order of Black 🖤.

Great food. Some of the best puddings in Scotland, the plum gnocchi were an inspiration. Atmosphere low scored as the music is far too loud. Diners have to shout at each other to have a conversation. Oh well!

Stopped here for a Sunday roast as it had good reviews and I was excited to try the cauliflower cheese. There is no parking on site but down the road opposite you can find a pay-and-display car park. The village is really busy so you can struggle for parking. We enquired before arriving about booking and they said just walk in but then said once the roasts were sold out that was it. At that point we quickly rushed to get ready so we didn't miss out, not had this before when booking a Sunday roast. The place was lovely and decor great, lots of staff from all over the world working here. So great to hear different accents and get to know them. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the roast... there was no cauliflower cheese and it's even advertised on the website so I was extremely disappointed. The sirloin (only option) was a bit fatty for my liking but otherwise, it did melt in the mouth and fall to pieces. Would have wanted more gravy than what was given. The price was ok but wouldn't return for a roast again. When we finished we sat outside in the garden and had a drink which was lovely. Clean and tidy place

Lovely pub with great food and service.

First visit. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Enjoyed our fish and chips.

Wonderful place. Excellent food, excellent service. Good atmosphere. Absolutely love it!

Food choice was very limited to say the least, it was not of the quality I would have expected from this place, although this is based on previous visits, so I don’t know if it has changed ownership, there were 4 of us, and we ordered 2 starters and 4 main meals, the main meals were 2 of their pies, and 2 chicken burger meals, we got 3 pies and 1 chicken burger, why a chicken burger is on a supposedly top class restaurant I don’t know, as per everything else we found in Pitlochry the price of everything is ridiculous, would never eat here again, and would have serious thoughts of spending any time in Pitlochry in future due to their ridiculous price structure in all the hospitality establishments

It was really good and cozy and I loved the sheep
