The Woodhouse Kippen

Kippen Station, Stirling FK8 3JA, Kippen, Serving Stirling & District

The Woodhouse Kippen is a café and farm shop at Kippen Station, just off the A811 between Stirling and Loch Lomond. Set beside native woodland, it has welcomed customers since 2012, with indoor seating and an outdoor terrace. Dogs are welcome in the café. The kitchen prepares food to order, using local suppliers and Scottish products where possible. Breakfast is followed by lunch, with coffee, other drinks and cakes available through the day. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes feature alongside a children's menu that doubles as a colouring sheet. The farm shop includes a butcher's counter and locally sourced products such as ice cream and honey. Sustainability is reflected in the building too: oak from the original site became café tables and fittings, while solar panels and biomass heating support the operation. The café accommodates around eighty people inside, with additional terrace seating in suitable weather.
