The Old Smiddy is a traditional neighbourhood pub at 131 Old Castle Road in Cathcart, Glasgow. Food is served through the day in a relaxed setting that works for lunch, dinner, a family meal or drinks with friends. Sports screens and a familiar local pub atmosphere give the venue a sociable character without displacing the dining offer.
The broad British pub menu moves from small plates and sharing selections to burgers, grills, pizza and familiar main courses. Chicken dishes, fish and chips, pies and curries provide substantial choices, while loaded chips, nachos and wings suit a table that wants to share. The range is designed to accommodate both a quick plate and a fuller multi course visit.
Vegetarian and vegan dishes appear across the menu, and there is a separate selection for children. Sunday dining and lunch offers give regular visitors additional formats beyond the main menu. Guests with allergies should use the current allergen information and speak with the team before ordering because ingredients and preparation practices can change.
Beer, cider, wine, spirits, soft drinks and hot drinks make the bar useful throughout the day. Bookings are available, though the venue retains the informal feel of a local pub. The Old Smiddy brings dependable food, drinks and community focused hospitality together in a long established Cathcart setting.
