The Orchard Bistro

Today, the Secretary of State has ‘misstated his awareness of the truth’. He has refused the further powers previously promised to Scotland by Gordon Brown in the Vow. Today, Parliament voted against making  the Holyrood Parliament ‘permanent’ because apparently it is a gift from Westminster that can be withdrawn at any time. Today, given that all of this is flagrantly against the will of the Scottish people you could be forgiven for feeling the need for a scone .. or two. Hopefully to reintroduce some sense of reality.

Big and airy

Hence we find ourselves in the Orchard Hotel/Bar/Bistro, an old and well respected Falkirk establishment. When I first moved to Falkirk from Glen Isla at 9 years of age this is where me and my family spent the first three weeks in the big city! External view of the Orchard Hotel, FalkirkIt has changed a lot over the years. Such is its recent success it has now spread round the corner with a new Bistro facility. Big and airy the bistro has a good vibe though when we were there it was quiet. More than could be said for the music which was a wee bit on the loud side.
The bar also has an alfresco seating area which is great when the weather permits. A scone at the Orchard Hotel, Falkirk

The scones arrived with plenty of butter and jam and accompanied by some excellent Kimbo coffee. Scones were light and tasted exactly like homebaked scones should. Service was efficient and friendly. Well done Orchard Hotel. Your management seems to be very forward thinking. May you continue to go from strength to strength.

Magna Carta

That’s more than can be said for our UK government which seems hell bent on treating democracy with utter contempt and ending the Union it purports to support. All whilst celebrating Magna Carta at the same time. Give us strength!
