Croft Bar

The Croft was okay. Just okay. It looks worn from the outside but the inside is a lot more modern and fresh looking. It just seemed to lack in atmosphere.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, it was good value with 2 for 1 weekday meals and I did enjoy my chickpea and vegetable chilli but other that that there’s nothing more to say. The food wasn’t great enough to have me rushing back and there’s nothing particularly new or exciting about the Croft. Just a bit lacklustre, especially when I think about the number of exciting places to eat in town or the west end, all just a train journey away.

Lets start with the good stuff, the food is good and so is the menu. The white wine is nice too (can’t always say that). The place was busy so it must be popular. Service is friendly but Sloooooooow with a capital Slooooooooooooooow. 45 mins to get us some steak pie and a chilli. If you are in the area (?) and need food it’s clean and the food is tasty — I’d say expensive for where it is. In short there are better places to drop your cash.

my daughter had her wedding reception here at 70% less than most wedding venue places in and around glasgow.
they prehanged all the balloons up and decorations free of charge the drinks bill was very good set at 2 pounds a head n regardless off weither it was a soft drink or a beer etc, very fair way.
food was realy great simple food as requisted but a very full plate.. a full reception was not required as the large party was moving on that evening. we must thank the staff who was very helpfull.

Cheap and cheerful place but I don’t think it qualifies to be called a ‘restaurant’ — it’s just a big, rough-​and-​ready, pub, lounge bar selling pub grub. Rough and ready crowd who probably won’t bother you as long as you avoid eye contact and present your rear if challenged by any of them. Usual cardboard fish and oven chips etc. etc. One of the group I was with had beef olives (ooh la la) and he couldn’t cut them. I reckon he would have had trouble even using a stihl saw with a 12 inch diamond blade on it. My cardboard fish was brittle, it splintered all over the place when I tried to cut it and a piece nearly took a local drunk’s eye out. Pre-​packaged, processed offal and you can wash it down with a few pints of watery lager.
Next time I might just go for the healthy option and get my chow at Greggs — probably a steak bake.

Excellent restaurant, excellent food, excellent staff, great value can’t say anymore.
