The Waverley Tea Room

Went here on Monday night as they hosted us for Glasgow Baking Club. They gave us the whole conservatory area as it was a quiet Monday evening in February and were extremely welcoming and allowed us to bring in our own cakes kind of the point of baking club we all get together with something we've baked for each meeting's theme and sample all the cakes and bakes while chatting and enjoying whatever drinks are on offer at our chosen venue. Copious amounts of tea £2 and lattes £2.50 were consumed and we had a fantastic time down in our own little room with all our Valentine's cakes, biscuits and pies. The hot drinks all came with a little square of lovely tablet too, yum! We ordered drinks at...

Don't be deceived by the name or the pretty font, the Waverly Tea Rooms is sadly not a teahouse. To be fair, the Waverley (a bar and restaurant) has a sedate and subdued atmosphere most of the time, but this is usually through circumstance rather than choice. The truth is that it is yet another slightly soulless member of the G1 franchise. The drinks are ridiculously expensive (especially the beer I believe) and the clientele (especially at the weekend) are proud members of the white shirted brigade men with ludicrously gelled back hair, overwhelming aftershave and a liking for labels who think that standing at the bar holding a £20 note will get them served quicker. It is popular for a reas...

A small group of us went to this place before the Scotland match, after calling around and finding most places (unsurprisingly) booked up until after kickoff. The food was good, priced about average, with some good specials and regular menu items that aren't on the menu in every other pub in the city. I'd be giving this a 4-star review if 3 things were different: 1. The service was beyond slow. It's a good thing we weren't in a hurry, because the food took forever to come out, and we had to flag someone down every time we needed something. 2. The bathroom was awful, though it looked like it was undergoing some kind of repair or remodeling, so that could be fixed soon. 3. The music was pretty... Voir le carte

A sort of on the cusp of 3 4 really as I didn't order food, or use the bathrooms, but it was an overall pleasant experience. We had a rare day of summer today and were fortunate to find a free table on the upstairs decking area. It was really busy and staff seemed rushed off their feet. I couldn't tell if it was table service; I saw some people approach their tables with drinks in hand, but I also saw people with menus on their tables looking like they were waiting for a staff member to come over to take their an orders, so it was a bit confusing. After about 5 minute I decided to be lazy and check the drinks menu on their website, as there was lack of a drinks menu on the table. Wine.... wi...

We dropped in here today because we were nearby and the kids were STARVING!! You know the kind of 'I 've not eaten in 30minutes now and I 'm going to pas out ' kind of starving. It was after 4pm and my wife and I were peckish too. Parking was a doddle, plenty space right outside, we actually got a space directly outside the front door! We wandered inside to a busy looking pub, and spotted one lady behind the bar, and another who seemed at the time to be taking care of every other table in the place. We were never greeted, so I went to the bar and asked if there were any tables, We were directed down stairs to an outside conservatory area, and after being seated for maybe 5 minutes the same w...

I've been a frequent visitor to the Waverley Tea Rooms since it opened back in 2004 but it had been 6 months since my last visit so popped in with a friend on Saturday evening for a some eats. The bar was busy with kids utilising the soft play areas. Nice that they have somewhere welcoming but a noticeable change from a place that was formerly a bit more drinks oriented. Service was really good, the bar staff a lot more professional and attentive than I felt they'd been on previous visits. Menus were swiftly delivered and orders taken and the subsequent wait for our meals did not seem overlong. We ordered the Chicken Ceasar as a main course and a portion of Fish and Chips. The latter was a f... Voir le carte

Waverley tea rooms as others have noted, not a tea room, but a pretty generic looking social animal pub, with its most obvious unique selling point its considerable and quite appealing outdoor seating provision. Generally speaking though, if the weather is ever good enough to warrant an outdoor pint/nibble then every single seat will be already taken! I returned to the tea room with my wife and wee baby daughter after a lengthy sabbatical to see a new chef reboot have only minimal influence in either atmospheric or culinary terms. I 've generally thought of this place as somewhere with some moderately lofty ambitions and ideas, but without the slickness of execution to quite match. For examp...

As it was a sunny afternoon in Glasgow we decided to go out for lunch which turned into more like a dinner, we shall call it Dunch!! And of course as its so close to the word brunch alcohol should be involved! My partner Jen suggested we go here which was fine by me as its been in my sights to take her to this for awhile. After a fruitless search for a seat in the sun we opted to go inside and order a couple of drinks whilst we perused the menu. First i ordered cider which i was told there was none of. They have alot of drinks on offer but unfortunately our first choice of cocktail was scuppered as they had no peach liquor to add to id. This was then rectified when we ordered our second roun...

Oh dear. Things were not looking up from the start. We wanted Sunday lunch but couldn 't get into our first choice restaurant so we headed here. On entry we were informed that the card machine was broken so we would have to pay cash. No problem, technical problems happen. Then we ordered drinks. Nothing complex just cokes, diet cokes, lemonades. These took forever to arrive and when we enquired with the absent waitress (we had to go into the bar she wasn 't in the least bit apologetic as she barked that they were coming. We ordered food, at the same time as drinks, from the menu imaginatively clipped to pieces of old wine crate nice touch except that A4 is larger than the board so the menus... Voir le carte
