L'chaim's - East Renfrewshire

We were a large family group from london staying in a house in Scotland over winter holidays. L’chaim prepared us shabbos food and more for our stay. the food was superb, easily as good or better than the heimish london take aways/delis. Portions are very generous and Rabbi and Rebetzen Jacobs were so helpful in making sure everything was perfect. they really made our holiday. i would highly recommend, they may have an old looking website, but don’t judge the quality of food and service on that! i can’t recommend highly enough. thank you and L’ Chaim!

The best kosher option for us when traveling to Scotland is to order our food in advance from Chabad, then have it frozen and ready for pick up in Glasgow. On this trip, we paid £300 for two weeks of food, enough for four adults. We got soups, kugels, chicken, beef, strudel, vegetables, rice, and lasagna. To make it work, we bought a 220V crockpot and a power converter for our electric hot plate. Of course, we brought our own plastic plates, utensils, pot, a pan, and a thermos too (good for soups on day trips away from our Airbnb Vrbo). Essentially, when we travel internationally, we have one extra suitcase dedicated to food. While you may think that's an excessive shlep, it turns out to be amazingly economical and a great time saver to eat when and where we want.

For kosher travelers in Scotland, this Chabad-run restaurant and caterer is indispensable. We had meals for Shabbat and weekdays delivered to our hotel in Glasgow and they were excellent (complete with challah and wine for Shabbat). Moreover, Rabbi Jacobs was responsive and solicitous of our needs. Did I say the food was really good?

I was staying at Cameron House by Loch Lomand. Not only did Rabbi Jacobs make yummy food but he went out of his way to help me find transportation, saving me money on a seperate delivery charge and taxi. He put the food in the taxi and had it take me to the hotel. This was above and beyond! Great food, next level service!

We were near Glasgow for a wedding and the selection and service provided by Chaims was fantastic. All arrived ready to heat (double wrapped), and was all very tasty. We wouldn't have enjoyed our time away as much without it! Many thanks Daniel and Sophie
