Best chips in Johnstone! Good soup and chunky Steak Pie. Attentive and quick service. Booking recommended. Lovely looking cocktails for absorbing in evening ...

Ticked all the boxes!! Lovely food and really reasonably priced. Service was fab!! Great day here for birthday celebration

Amazing staff, efficient, friendly and hard working. We had a small party for an 80 year old, and it was a great day. Absolutely top steak pie as well.

Good "pub grub" menu and the food is always excellent quality. Service is also great. The place is looking a little tired though, furniture is worn and the place just needs modernised. Recommend for the service and food quality though!

I don't usually do this but felt Callums deserved this. Was in with a friend and just had main courses. Thankfully in hindsight because if the starters or desserts portions were as big as mains we would not have been able to eat everything. So yes main courses portions were huge and freshly cooked. The hand cut chips were great, chicken goujons yum and lasagne looked great. Great value for money.

This is a really good pub to go to at any time of the day. The atmosphere here is really good and they pour a good pint of Guinness which is rare these days. I've been here for lunch many times and the food is definitely worth a try. Would definitely recommend this pub

Cosy wee pub with great food. Although I am not as regular a customer as I used to be, I've been coming here for 30 years and I have always enjoyed the atmosphere and beverages. Lots of good real ales and a good selection of spirits. Staff have always been great I've never really had a bad experience here. All in all one of the best pubs and restaurant in the town.
