It's a bit expensive and a bit too noisy, but it's a nice place to be and I'm pleased they have one decent real ale on tap at any time.

Beautiful Sunday lunch. Beef roast cooking was exquisite. We tried both the ribeye and sirloin. They were very tasty and moist. Probably the best roast beef I have ever tasted for a Sunday lunch.

No vegetarian options except 1 main and 1 side!!! Horrible attitude from the staff as well when asked for help. They literally even threw the bottle of wine on our table for no reason

Had been previously after the summer 2024 and everything was really good but yesterday was just awful. Two of us were served French toast cold to the touch, my butterscotch sauce was like tar and just sadly not edible. The two girls working didn’t seem to be in the best of spirits at all which wasn’t great. Large sweaty effort from the kitchen was walking about and just looked absolutely filthy (at just 11am) which was the nail in the coffin really. The only saving grace is that the other customers were all a nice natured bunch. It’s a shame but it’s not one I would return to now.

It started well, we were meeting family we hadn’t seen in years and thought this would be a relaxed atmosphere to sit down have a drink, eat good food and get reacquainted. It turns out maybe a little too relaxed…. Waiter brings red wine to table behind the head of one of our party who was busy chatting and had no idea he was there behind him, (there was a clear space to serve the drinks at the end of the table so everyone could have seen him but he’s clearly challenged with spatial awareness ) the wine ended up spilled all over the table, over my partner (wearing a really expensive Christmas jumper), splattering over me (wearing a new cream top and jacket) and my cousin who got hit with wine too - luckily wearing darker colours. The waiter barely raised an eyebrow or seemed concerned. It was a shit show, us pouring white wine and salt into the cream coloured jacket (I didn’t realise my top was hit until I got to the bathroom), the waiter sloppily mopping up the red wine but offering no apology or assistance. He offered to put a new table cloth on top of the soaking wet red wine covered one which we declined and asked him to change completely. He changed it for one that was too small and made the plates tip and wobble as you cut your food. I don’t think at any point this waiter actually apologised for any of the melee. You would have expected an apology on the way out from some of the team but we got absolutely nothing. There was a waitress who seemed concerned and kindly brought soda water and a cloth to blot at the stained jumper, top and jacket. Really disappointed with the service and attentiveness that could have been offered to turn this episode around. I was once a waitress, and if this was me I would have made sure the customers knew I was sorry if I had caused an incident like this, especially with red wine. This waiter really couldn’t care less about what had happened to our clothes. They left the service on the bill when we asked to pay which I asked them to remove. The food tasted okay but our experience was ruined by the general incompetence of the waiter. Sadly with this experience I don’t think we will return.

Booked in for a late lunch, the place was pretty quaint inside, quiet, with only about 10-20 customers. Initially the service was attentive, however after taking our drinks and food order, it all slowed down. The starters were ok, nicely presented and the mains came out quickly behind them. The good bits, the fish and chips were massive, with crispy batter and nice tartar sauce. The bad bits, the burger with cheddar was bland, two dry tasteless patties, I struggled to notice the cheese on it. They had the cheek to charge £1.50 for it. The turkey burgers effectively a roll with turkey slices on it with some cranberry sauce. The chips, some were good, some were undercooked and hard. Would be hard to recommend this place to anyone, for food. The highlights was that the cocktails were nice.

We had a family dinner at the Butterfly & Pig for 8 including 2 children on the 29th December. Had options from the main/kids menus including Sunday Roast Options. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very warm and friendly with excellent service. We never felt rushed and ordered a mixture of food. The quality of the food was just excellent and lived up to the recommendations we had received. Ribeye steak sunday roast was cooked to perfection (see picture) and the Steak Pie had more tender beef in it than I have ever seen in a pie. All other dishes were lovely, portions generous and even our children (who can be a little fussy) really enjoyed their meals. The seasoning and sauces were delicious throughout. A big thank you to the staff for really making our day...we will be back!

More than disappointed…. Even if the table has been pre booked, there were no spaces for us in the restaurant so we had to sit on the bar area. After we have decided what are going to eat we been informed that several dishes were unavailable. When we wanted to leave they told us that we are going to be changed of the pre booked table…..

Amazing tea, snacks, sandwiches, and sweets!!! They were very good about accommodating vegetarian options for my wife while keeping the sandwiches the same for me. Would definitely go again.

Très bon restaurant, très cosy totalement dans l’ambiance écossaise, on se croirait dans un petit cottage. Nourriture délicieux, la fameuse steak pie très copieux mais une réussite

Loved it. Service was a bit slow for a Monday evening I have to say. Generous portions.

What a find. Stumbled across the Butterfly and Pig when searching for somewhere to eat not too far from our accommodation. Totally drawn in by their descriptive menu, made me chuckle. Would definitely recommend a visit. Great atmosphere, really friendly staff and delicious food. Will definitely return when next in Glasgow.

Ett måste i england att pröva ett klassiskt afternoon tea. Här får man serverat det på sitt allra bästa sätt.

Excellent, first time here, and we all loved it. The steak pie was to "die for".
