You queue up to pay first at the till (and get a pint of…read moreDeuchars IPA while you're at it for £2.09) and then you queue up again to get your food, but it's well worth the waits for some top notch carvery at bottom price (especially if you get one of their many deals which are always floating around their website). Anoth thing that's awesome is the mint sauce gravy. Mint sauce goes with everything! And gravy is practically like water to me being from Nottingham and raised on it from an early age. Awesome. Bonus of mashed potato option you don't always get at carveries too.

I wish I could give it zero stars as that's what it deserves. I know carverys aren't renowned for their top quality fayre - however this was of a whole new level of horrible. I opted to go for the glazed gammon and Turkey. The 'carver' literally hacked into the joint of Turkey and gave me a few huge literal steaks of , along with a sliver of the glazed ham. I chose my accompaniments and sat down. The first forkful that went in my mouth I spat out. It was a combination of rubber carrots and rock solid peas which I immediately had to spit in my napkin. I began moving the food around my plate to inspect for any other raw ingredients, only to find the Turkey had huge blackish red marks on it. It's not like me to be squeamish with my food but it was truly disgusting. The one slice of gammon I was given had a huge lump of fat attached to it and was chewy and tasteless. The gravy was lumpy and the diced swede was rock solid. I probably ate about 4 forkfuls in total. I wish Id complained but I'd have been lucky to find a staff member. The place seems totally desserted in terms of waiting staff. I would not recommend this place to anyone, ever!

Have to disagree with the other review - I have eaten a few tasty bits and pieces here…read more It's unpretentious good pub grub. Pizzas smell and look amazing, but I haven't had of those one yet. I got a baked potato for a fiver. At that price I really didn't expect a well dressed side salad and lashings of tasty cheese, but that's what I got and I was very pleased, it was excellent value. People kept going back for cocktails while I was there, so they must be decent, certainly looked intriguing. For a pub in Paisley, it felt like a slice of the West End to me. If you're out and about it's worth a look in here because I have found the staff and the regulars very friendly. DOG NEWS: DOG FRIENDLY!

None of it was fresh and after multiple wrong attempts to deliver the actual right order.. It still tasted bad. My friend even complained and said the Mac was so bad she couldn't eat it. They did ask if wanted anything else but by then we wanted to leave... They still charged us for it and I honestly cannot fathom stepping back in here for food. I could do the drinks again but that's all this place has going for it.

But I don't blame people for wanting to treat themselves to an end of the week drink or two. This is a Wetherspoons pub, and like most pubs from this chain it lacks background music or ambience. What it lacks for in atmosphere is made up for in value for money - it's between two and three pounds for a vast number of beers and spirits, including bottled drinks like Magners and fancy ales. There's a wide variety of the latter, including Moondance, ale staple Deuchars, and some Newcastle Brown in a bottle. They also do the usual brand of cheap Wetherspoon's food. Staff were helpful and refreshnigly friendly when we visited. The Wetherspoons pubs always seem to be housed in gorgeous buildings, and this is no expection - this bar has an unfathomably high ceiling, an art deco exterior and is plastered in old black and white pictures of Saltcoats and its surrounding towns. It seems to have the magnetic pulling power compared to local pubs and is pleasant to sit in with its vast space, comfy couches and bay windows. However, it is still Wetherspoons, so if you're looking for a bar with a bit more local flavour you may be as well to try other bars along the main street. Saying that, it was easy to make ourselves at home here and in an economy pub chain like this you can afford to have a few without unnecessarily breaking the bank.

It was a real nostalgia trip for me, and reminded me so much of my late parents. I had the vegetable soup, which was hearty, perfectly-seasoned, and warming on an early winter's day. Then I had a sausage hotpot with potatoes and veg, and finished with jelly& ice-cream. Everything was tasty, and in generous portions. My friends both had the soup (we all loved it), one had macaroni cheese& chips, and the other ordered pie and potatoes. We are all big eaters in general, but the portions were plenty for us. You really cannot beat this lunch menu for value for money. Incredible! The staff were friendly, and there was a nice mixture of clientele. Cosy atmosphere. Felt welcome and at ease from the moment I walked into the back lounge area. The drinks were very reasonably priced, too. If you've ever sat on a bus and wondered what the Star Bar is like, go in one lunchtime and get yourself a tasty, home-cooked, affordable meal. You won't be sorry!

You'll more than likely have sat outside it on a bus, waiting as the drivers change shifts, exchange pleasantries and complaints about the big bosses and decry the latest fitba' results. If you've seen it, you'll know it promises a three course meal for just £3 (inflation has bitten and a raise from the £2.50 it was for years has kicked in) and karaoke and... well, who knows? It's a place of mythicalness. And that may not be a word. I've often wondered what lay behind the slightly manky doors. This evening, faithful reader, I delved into the underbelly of Glasgow legend. I arrived after 6pm so no food for me. Instead, an anaglypta covered throwback to the 70s. At the bar ahead of me, a woman bought a quarter bottle of vodka to take into the cinema with her; 2 guys sat at the tables behind me with dominoes debating what to put on the jukebox. "none of the depressing Radiohead crap, Boaby. It's Friday night! Put some rock n roll on!" // "aye, awright. Keep yer hair oan!" Off he toddled to the jukebox. I ordered my pint. Carling. Cold. Under £3. I sat down, took a photo to commemorate my journey into the unknown as the jukebox fired up. Rock n Roll, indeed. The Big Bopper. The door crashed open and in stumbled a man on crutches just as the jukebox lurched into "Singin' In The Rain". The man's face broke into a grin and he asked who knew he was coming in and put his song on. "It's Friday Night, Jimmy. Yer always here on Friday night!" I finished my pint, and returned the glass to the bar on my way out. "Ye no want another wan, big chap? Ach well, see you again!" They may well see me again. They may very well.

At the bar you can buy a bottomless draft soft drink that would be refilled on presentation of your glass.

Food was a 5/5 I couldn't fault these guys, our only issue was that we ordered desserts to go and was given the wrong ones, if it wasn't for that they would have got a 5/5 rating.

On a matter of days two new pubs have opened on the street not far from each other, this is a good thing as Glasgow does need a little more variety. Life Glasgow is the latest addition on the street based where the old Campus bar used to be. This is yet another sports bar with more than six televisions in front of me. The bar has a fresh look to it, I can even smell the paint, there is a stage in the middle of the bar for entertainment, there is the usual draft drinks on offer but nothing new apart from mangers ice cold only costing £3.30 a pint and that's pretty good for this street would work out 55p cheaper than o'Neils bar just up the road. Food available just your typical pub grub sandwiches, panini's & baps but there is a snack & sides section on the menu that looks pretty cheap but wouldn't expect much for the prices. A few down sides that I spotted was that the bar was empty just me and another customer, the other negative that the bar tender had poor English where I had to ask twice what she said. The walls are rather bare making this bar too minimalistic. I hope that this bar will be better than what was here before, will be back in a week or two to check up & adjust their rating, up or down.

Not to mention a big fluff of candy floss stuck to the side of the glass. I would definitely go back for a few more of those! The food wasn't great. I ordered mussels but they'd run out and made the huge mistake of opting for the carbonara. It was really gummy and stodgy and I left quite a lot of it, but the garlic bread was nice enough. Long story short I'd go back for the martini but definitely would skip the food next time.
