Pub · Glasgow
A proper old-school Glasgow pub where the food does the talking — the steak pie has something of a cult following, and mince and tatties with mashed potatoes is exactly the plain, homemade sort of cooking children actually eat. Prices are low, portions are honest, and one visitor rated it far better than the chain pubs nearby. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor seating for when small people need air. Staff are warm and unfussy, and the atmosphere stays relaxed at lunchtime — though it fills up fast around midday, so go early or expect a wait for a table. Weekend evenings turn lively, karaoke and all, which is fun but not a toddler-bedtime crowd. Worth knowing the toilets are functional rather than pristine.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
