Birthdays, holidays, get-togethers- what do they all have in common?
Yes, the celebration aspect of course, but also, food! For birthdays it’s cake, for holidays it’s heaps of meals with family and friends, and for get-togethers it’s the array of cheese boards and bowls of crisps to share amongst your guests.
With graduation just around the corner for our fellow University of Stirling graduates, Brig’s writers have wondered, what makes for a great celebratory dinner, and where would that be?
The company of the people surrounding you is certainly a guarantee for a successful celebration, but whether you choose to dine at home or in a restaurant, food is the key.
According to previous graduates, the top five spots for graduation dinner are as follows:
The Meadowpark
Located just outside of the university, the Meadowpark is the perfect restaurant for a Stirling grad dinner. Easily accessible from campus, it offers a wide selection of delicious and hearty meals for everyone, along with other pub classic drinks and beers.
The Riverhouse
Just a short drive from the university, the Riverhouse is a fresh alternative to usual dinners. Dining in a room surrounded by tall windows and flowing water, you get to experience a range of delicate and tasty foods with a view. Their dessert menu is definitely one to try.
Mint Leaf
Offering a large selection of traditional Nepalese and Indian dishes, the restaurant is in the heart of Stirling City Centre. With a great atmosphere, music, and best of all, amazing food, Mint Leaf is a Stirling favourite and the perfect place to take your family for a grad dinner.
Fletcher’s
With its grand exterior and bright lights shining for a fantastic celebration, the restaurant specialises in traditional Scottish food, perfect for those wishing to taste a part of Scotland’s culture. Fletcher’s also offers a great selection of cocktails, wines, and non-alcoholic beverages meaning everyone will find something they’ll enjoy.
La Cucina
If you want to have Italian food as part of your celebration, La Cucina, found in Bridge of Allan, is an exemplary restaurant to do so. Easily reachable from campus, it’s the perfect location to head to after receiving your well-earned degree.
