Restaurant · Glasgow
A traditional Glasgow pub that works better for families at quieter times than on a busy Saturday — one afternoon visitor grumbled about toddlers in the bar, so weekday lunches or early evenings are the calmer bet. High chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access are all in place, and the staff are the thing people mention most: chatty, quick with the drinks, patient, and genuinely good about dietary needs like a dairy intolerance. Food is proper pub cooking done well — the steak pie comes up again and again, and the haggis, neeps and tatties gets glowing mentions too. There's a mezzanine area upstairs if you want a bit of distance from the bar. It's dog friendly if you call ahead. Prices are middling, and one or two have found lunch fairly basic, but service tends to sort out any problem.
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.
