Reservations are for food bookings only – all drinks are first come, first served. Not trying too hard, not overly complicated, and EXACTLY what you are looking for; our menu is the fox's knees. We have got a great selection of Scottish beers on tap, and have recently created an extensive cocktail menu for you to sip on while you catch up with friends. From the kitchen, you can expect feel good pub dishes with a twist made from fresh, seasonal ingredients – we think yer granny would even approve! Foxes might not be great at sports (it’s hard when you can’t even wear shoes) but that doesn’t stop us from watching all the big games! We have all Sky Sports & BT channels so can show everything from the Scottish Premiership & International Football to the Grand National and Wimbledon. Swing by, pull up a pew and catch all of the action.

It’s simple really, our calling card is sustainable Scottish seafood.Our name comes from the Gaelic word for fish. It’s a wee bit tricky to pronounce, but it’s no bother if guests don’t get it quite right. With delicious fresh produce served by our very own Head Chef, Sean Currie, you'll feel the energy in the way we go about things – our warm welcome, enthusiasm for what we do, and, of course, a splash of Glaswegian banter.Serving sustainable Scottish seafood is at the heart of everything we do.

Perfect for a pre gig meal. Bloody brilliant service and the food came really quick. Will definitely go back as I want to try just about everything else on the menu and take a good stab at their reasonably priced cocktail menu. To have it all accompanied by a soundtrack of KISS, Mötley Crue and Led Zep made it the best Monday tea I think I've ever had!
