About The Old Smiddy

Handy if you're in Glasgow with children in tow and want somewhere cheap and cheerful to eat. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and gluten-free options mean one dietary requirement won't derail the meal. Step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward, and there's outdoor seating for when little ones need air. It's a lively room, which suits noisy families, though booking ahead is worth it.
