About

A cosy and characterful Scottish pub and kitchen in Glasgow's vibrant West End, Gael & Grain serves up traditional comfort food with a creative twist. Located on Sandyford Place, this charming venue combines dark wood interiors, atmospheric lighting, and a lively Comedy Lounge hosting weekly gigs, making it a relaxed spot for all-day dining, weekend brunch, or a proper Sunday roast.

Gael & Grain offers a warm Glaswegian welcome all week long, thanks to a menu that celebrates Scotland's rich culinary heritage with bold flavours and imaginative touches. Starters include the likes of smoked salmon with oatcakes, and traditional Cullen skink - a creamy soup made with smoked haddock, potato and onion. The Gael & Grain Scottish Sharer is perfect for two or more, featuring haggis bonbons, sriracha-glazed chicken, mushrooms on toast, and haggis pakora.

Hearty mains range from an 8oz Scottish ribeye and freshly landed fish and chips to pan-fried sea bass, homemade steak pie, and chicken Balmoral - haggis-stuffed chicken breast wrapped in pancetta. The signature haggis tikka masala adds a playful fusion element to the offering, while Sunday roasts deliver tradition with all the trimmings. Puddings include sticky toffee and Gael & Grain's own jammy dodger dessert.

The weekday lunch menu, available daily, offers great value with a choice of one, two or three courses. Dishes include goat's cheese croquettes, haggis neeps and tatties, and panko chicken burgers. The weekend brunch menu, served from 9am on Saturdays and Sundays, features familiar favourites like eggs Benedict, brioche French toast, buttermilk pancakes, veggie stacks and breakfast classics.

With a dog-friendly beer garden, a private dining room seating up to 30 in A' Chuilidh (Gaelic for 'The Secret Hiding Place'), and comedy nights in partnership with Good Egg Comedy, Gael & Grain is a warm and spirited venue perfect for locals and visitors alike. There's also an impressive selection of Scottish whiskies and local craft beers to complement your meal.
