There were 4 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal, chicken with haggis, beef olives and fish and chips. We all had a lovely panna cotta to finish. The service from both the young waitress and the manageress was very friendly and efficient. I can't say what it's like as a pub at weekends as only been here on a weeknight but will definitely return for food.

The Clydesdale (formerly a Wetherspoons pub) offers a good range of Real Ales and food at very reasonable prices. When the pub changed ownership, many of the staff transferred over. I have to say that this was a very sensible move as the staff knew many of the clients very well.

This is the second price increase this year and a pint of Stella has gone up 13.7% in real terms. All the staff here are really friendly and provide an excellent service ALWAYS! I really cannot understand how any business can justify an increase of this magnitude. Whilst at the bar ordering my drink, I did take into account other customers reaction to the price increases and I felt really sorry for all the bar staff who were dealing with the shock of the customers extremely well. Rachael (the mangeress) and all her staff do a truly wonderful job serving the locals of Lanark and to put nice staff in a difficult position is very unfair. I just wondered if the owners of this chain actually realise that the price of a pint of Stella is now more than in a pub in Central Glasgow!!! I'm a pensioner approaching the age of 80 and on a fixed income and I just wished that my pension rose by 13.7% per annum to cope with these extortionate price increases. Do the owners actually realise that if you walk just over 100 yds from this establishment that people can get a pint of the same beer for 35p less?? This 2nd additional price is not on sorry. I hope that readers of this review will actually check all my other 84 reviews and see just how positive I normally am. Please also check my last review for the Clydesdale which was also very positive. The staff here are second to none as is the manageress Rachael all of whom do a wonderful job.
