About The butterfly and the pig

Tucked downstairs and lit by candlelight, this is the kind of Glasgow pub where mismatched china and a bit of shabby-chic clutter make everyone relax, children included. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating, plus vegan options and a good run of alcohol-free beers and mocktails for the driver. The fish and chips comes up again and again — fresh fish, light crisp batter, proper chips — alongside steak pies, haggis, pork belly and a veggie burger that keeps vegetarian teenagers happy. Afternoon tea here is a small event: warm scones, homemade cakes, a wall of teas. Staff are quick and genuinely warm with families. Two honest snags: there are a lot of stairs, both to get in and down to the toilets, which makes prams awkward, and the restaurant books up — one family got in only by eating at the bar.
