Steak Pie heaven 13th October 2007

Working man's pub in the centre of Motherwell. I've been in three or four times now, and the lunch menu is actually quite good. Proper Steak Pie and overboiled veg. Very tasty. Very cheap.

Turns out my grandfather used to drink here, according to my dad. Seems to be a big Glasgow Celtic affiliated pub these days but not overbearingly so, although in common with most "football" pubs I wouldn't like to try it while wearing the wrong colours on a match day!

Very recently they've opened a paved beer garden out the back, with a fair number of tables, lots of umbrellas including an enormous central one with heaters and lights under the canopy, and two large TV screens protected from the weather by wooden structures. It's a good place to have lunch.
