Pub · Glasgow
A proper old-school West End pub on Great Western Road, this one leans nostalgic — dark wood, comfortable corners and a pool table that gets plenty of use. Prices are gentle, which matters when you're feeding everyone, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating, plus level access if you're arriving with a buggy. The food is better than pub-standard: crisp batter on the fish and halloumi, and sticky chicken fillets with a lovely tangy kick that people single out. The mac and cheese is the weak link. Be warned it's a sports pub at heart, with screens on and a largely male crowd, so it gets genuinely loud on match days — better for a quiet weekday lunch than a Saturday afternoon. Service is usually warm and chatty, though it can be hit and miss.
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.
