This west end venue boasts a host of plays which have become modern classics The cast includes many of the most respected actots who embrace new writers. The venue has a regular following in this intimate theater. Worth a tenner and a lot more. One must see venue whether you are a visitor or resident.

I was amazed at how busy this got - we were lucky we'd booked tickets in advance. I'd recommend showing up early to get a good seat. You get a choice of drinks (beer, wine, soft) and a meat or veg pie. Not massive portions, but plenty for lunch. I really enjoyed the play too, it's a good opportunity to... More

This was my second time and it was just as good. The idea of getting a drink (beer, wine or soft drink), a pie (meat or veg), and a short play over lunch time is such a great idea. I took my husband this time and although he doesn't like plays even he enjoyed it. The actors were excellent and... More

Superb tradition of Glasgow's West end, which I don't know if they copied, or they originated, and is spreading, but, if you enjoy a bit of culture (the comedies and 'pantomimes' are the best along with abrilliant friendly atmosphere, a pint and a pie, then this is for you. Only downside is having to queue to get in, - especially... More

What a great way to spend a lunchtime and so well organised. The ticket is perforated so that you give up the first bit for your drink (a choice of draft beer/lager/cider or wine or soft drink) then you wander round for your top quality pie (or quiche for veggies) which you can have with gravy or my choice HP...
