Lorimers in Renfrewshire

Visited here as a party of 7 family members. Service was good and the food was also good apart from being a little on the salty side. Would happily return on my next visit up staying with family.

Very nice place, definitely will be going back again with friends.

Staff reminiscent of the living dead.

A dinner with family for sister's birthday staff were great.

Food is excellent as was the service, the waitresses were fantastic. The reason for the three star for atmosphere was down to the Sunday act , supposedly a singer but by god he was having a stinker. That said the wife and I will return, just not on a Sunday

Excellent food with excellent service

Was going to come for my birthday read reviews and said no chance

We ate here twice during our stay. Food presentation, quality, taste and size of portion was all top class. Have to give out a shout to Beth our waitress she was lovely and had a great sense of humour. Would highly recommend eating here without a doubt.

Good food and a good atmosphere

Love this local.... staff great, atmosphere always good... friendly locals and reasonably priced drinks.. pool table, great outside seating area too 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️ Dj on a sat eve

Nice pub, staff were great. Nice big outdoor area too for the smokers

Lovely lunch here on Saturday afternoon. Food was absolutely delicious and great value for money. Love the haggis pakora and the chips are amazing. Bar offers quite a selection of draft beers, and the cocktail menu is extensive too. Plenty of softies for the driver too. Service was great but slowed a little as things got a little busier- as you would expect. Lovely wee bar and outdoor seating area, pool table, and plenty of screens to watch the footy. Plenty of families dining, and some furry friends too. Seems really friendly and welcoming to all. Toilets immaculate. Would definitely come here again.

Great atmosphere and the Piper was amazing. Food was spot on too. Highly recommend

Nice drinks. Service quick and friendly. Decor was nice and the clientele was a mixed age range. Overall the pub had a good atmosphere. I would come back here or recommend it.

Called in advance to book a table on a Thursday for 2 with my doggie and got told we can't book and have to see if there's space in the bar area and it wouldn't be a problem. Turned up, plenty of space & tried to order. We were told the restaurant is too busy and can't accept orders for the bar. There's 3 tables being served in the restaurant area. Tried to catch the waitress who keeps ignoring us. We've been coming for years and today has been a real blow.

Always a great place to visit 😁

We had a table booked for lunch on Monday Bank Holiday. On arriving slightly early, despite the restaurant being busy, the table was all ready for us, and a Lunch Menu and Main Menu were promptly provided. The menus have a good number and wide range of meals and sides to choose from, compared to many other restaurants. The waitress was very pleasant and efficient. After ordering, there was no undue delay in the drinks being served, and thereafter the meals served were good size portions, very tasty, and perfectly cooked. Overall we all had a very enjoyable lunch.

Staff could not have been any more awkward and sullen if they tried. We were a large party told we couldn't move tables, no extra seats so that we could be together it was cheap but nasty thankfully never be over that way again

Good service and decent pub grub. Staff are all friendly and service at the bar is quick even on busy nights. Nice pool table and a great new outside area. Also dog friendly in the bar

cracking place for lunch, food is excellent and so is the service

Pretty manky a got a hair in my food and that’s just not good

We had a booking for 2 on a Sunday evening at 1730. We arrived at 1720. We were sat to our table by the young waitress who was pleasant however there were only 5 occupied tables in the restaurant and when she sat us, she told us they were struggling for cutlery, even though all the other unused tables she could of sat us at, were fully set. The waitress brought cutlery over the but left us without any menus. She returned at 1745 (25 mins) to ask if we were ready to order but then released we didn’t have any menus. She brought over two menus and then read out about 15 items which were unavailable on the menu, including the gammon steak which is what my wife intended on ordering. However, as we had sat for 25 minutes we committed and ordered from what was left. We ordered 2 draft soft drinks, a cheese burger and a sirloin. The waitress told us there would be a wait for food due to the food being cooked from scratch ? I was unsure what she meant by this as the steak was medium rare and there were only 5 tables in and most of them were already eating. The drinks didn’t arrived until another 20 minutes (45 mins) There appeared to be 2 waitresses working the restaurant with an additional one appearing ever so often with food. The food arrived only 10 minutes later (55 min from seating and 30 mins from ordering). What I will say is that I couldn’t fault the food, the sirloin was huge and very value for money as it was about £17. We had been only eating for 10 (65 mins) minutes and the waitress returned to do what I believe should have been a check back but she went to pick up out plates as if we had finished, admittedly we had momentarily stopped eating. However we are pretty quick eaters and had finished 5 (70 mins) minutes later. We sat for another 20 (90 mins) minutes until I got up to settle the bill at the till as no one came near us or the tables around us. I did noticed that other tables followed suit after I paid in that fashion. The table behind my wife ordered starters (pakora and a soup) the soup arrived 5 mins after the pakora and then when both had finished they sat with their plates empty for 20 mins. Working in the industry previously myself, I would offer some advice. I say this with only being able to observe from my seat in the restaurant as the waiting staff were at times missing so I am very much uninformed if they were allocated additional other duties. The waiting staff appeared more interested in setting empty tables than attending to the needs of occupied tables. Both stood pressing buttons on the till for very long periods of time like 2-3 minutes. Neither worked as a team when collecting or bringing the plates to and from larger tables. Neither seemed to regularly scan the room for customers seeking attention as other patrons sat with their arms crossed as their plates were also left. It very much felt like the two waiting staff were snowed under from 5 tables. Maybe this was an off night but it wasn’t the worst meal, the waiting staff would very much benefit from some training to address the above. I hope this feedback helps.

Great pub friendly staff food looked amazing and always busy

Absolutely delicious lamb curry, melted in mouth

Was in tonight with my better half service was spot on and quick however unfortunately the steak sandwich has run the gutts from me☹️ ill put it down to a one off as it was my first time here and i dont want one bad experience to put me off completely.

Friendly Staff / Food Lovely / Nice Atmosphere

Our second time visiting having recently moved to the area. Delicious food, mixed grill was incredible! Really friendly staff, very family friendly (great menu for fussy 4 year old). Will absolutely be returning :)

What can I say Christmas Dinner was amazing . You guys smashed it. All round really good day. Well done guys.

Lovely meal good drink great atmosphere

Would not recommend meals served cold staff rude meals left on table for guests that hadn't arrived when asked staff 2 take back they just ignore soft drinks not cold when we ask for manger shd was not interested no apologies if ur not a local they treat u like a outcast

Food was served cold. Food was also served to empty seats and wasn’t allowed to be held until people arrived. Manager was extremely hostile, while arguing pointed at several guests at our table, our table was ignored by staff we had to ask several time just for our drinks. 0/10 would not recommend.

The food was unexpectedly delicious and service friendly and quick. Very decent find on our way to Glasgow airport. Would recommend. 👍

We where at a 30 birthday party really enjoy the night

Comfortable local pub with a good, varied menu and well-stocked bar. Staff are very friendly and service is excellent.

Service was very good but unfortunately the food (lasagne) was luke warm it was not busy for food when we were in so no excuse for it not being hot. The pub was also very cold with us and other sitting with jackets on.....hope it will be better next time!

Never again! Went with family who had been there previously and found ourselves in the middle of a) a large Halloween party for kids with them running all over the pub and very loud music to accompany them, absolutely no sign of control from parents!; b) the Sunday afternoon football very loud and customers enjoying the match with loud shouting c) a very large dog lying across the floor between the bar and toilets meaning it had to be stepped over to access the facilities. The food was ok although we were updated it could take some time to be served due to the kids party. We have no issue with general noise in a pub setting but this was totally unacceptable especially kids running round about us whilst trying to eat. A bit more organisation of functions would be an improvement.

We are moving to the area so wanted to try Lorimers and we were really pleased with our experience. Great menu much better than usual ‘pub grub’. Nice atmosphere and lovely clean toilets. Beer garden looks great too for summer! Looking forward to more visits in the future!

Very dissapointed in nachos and cheese and bacon today ,cheese not melted just nachos with cheese on top very dry .and have had many meals from there and always been great.

Made the mistake of booking a table when the Rugby was on TV. The noise was unbearable, ruined a nice visit..

Friendly and relaxing atmosphere, great service from welcoming staff. Good selection of food and drink and well presented. Beer garden put back for eating out as well as dog friendly 🐕

Fantastic food great service nice and friendly staff

Couldn't fault the waitress really nice young girl. I got a mix grill burger with onion rings and chips everything on that burger wasn't pleasent at al the burger was dry egg was dry the steak thing that was on it was under cooked won't be back absolute joke and use claimed too be the best pub in Scotland (hahaha)

We recently visited as a family of 7 and pre booked in advance for a tabke to celebrate a family celebration. We arrived at 5.15 and were not served out food until 18.45. It was busy but no one attempted to let us know what was happening. We waited 20mins to order drinks and then when they arrived one was missed and we ended up going to the bar to order it as it was quicker. 45 minutes after ordering our food I had to ask what was happening as we had 2 young children in our party. The waitress then went to find out what was happening and told us it was just being plated and apologised. The food came around 5mins after that but all adults were served and we waited a further 5mins for the children food to arrive. Having been told it was just being plated I was then disheartened to find the food was lukewarm. When the food was served we ordered 4 drinks which the waitress gave us complimentary as an apology. When we asked for the bill we then had to go back as the deposit we paid had not been taken off. We completely appreciated how busy it was but no one attempted to come and let us know there was a delay instead staff just kept walking past us constantly. We have been before and can say it's always been good but this visit was poor service waiting over an hour for food for it to arrive lukewarm was just disappointing

Just literally left lorimers. Was treating my son for lunch and I have to say that was a really bad experience. Was looking for a nice steak lunch and a few drinks….. was willing to spend around £100 for it. However…… after finishing our first drink pretty quickly and not be asked for another until our dinner was ready. We decided not to buy anymore drinks. We ordered 2 ribeye steaks, which you could not eat because of the grissle. After we said to the waiter he said “yeah we know about it, it is the butchers that supply us”. So overall we spend £50 on a lunch we couldn’t eat because of……. Apparently a butchers fault. Still had to pay full price right enough.

Great place. Food excellent. Staff friendly. Nice beer garden and very nice ladies room. When we arrived we thought it may be closed as it looked dark. Once inside bright and cheerful. Good stock of different beers. The sticky chicken wraps were nice and full and so tasty. Upgraded to hand cut chips. Very yummy 😋

Very disappointing experience here yesterday. Service was good, but incredibly slow throughout the day. Starters arrived promptly and were delicious, but the mains took a good 35-40 minutes after this, and arrived lukewarm, bordering on cold. To further compound this, we were handed the bill and asked (albeit politely) to vacate our table at 2:55pm, despite being told when booking that we would have the table until 3:30. The pub was fairly busy, and we had a party of 7, so finding another table in the bar area was tricky and some people were left standing. This would not have been an issue if the food had arrived sooner, as people were still finishing their desserts (including cold coffee) when we had to leave. I generally do not enjoy leaving bad reviews, as I know the staff are working hard and doing their best, but this experience was too disappointing not to share. I doubt we will be returning here for food any time soon.

Food amazing and reasonably prices as well. X

Awesome food! Had the haddock, hand cut chips mushy peas, tartare sauce and realy nice side salad. Crispy batter on the fish, amazing chips. What a gem of a place. A1 service... So glad we stopped in passing ! Thanks so much...defo be back!

We went for a family meal and had the best evening, service was very quick and didn’t need to wait to order, even though the place was busy, starters mains and desserts were all perfect. Would 100% come back as this was our first visit. Would recommend the fish & chips and sticky toffee pudding. My sisters also loved the pakora starters.

Brilliant food and drinks, we had starters mains and desserts thanks to Steven. 10/10 have been lots and great for any occasion. The McInnes fam

Perfect casual pub meal with beautiful execution of so many different cuisines! Our server Beth was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend the build your own pasta and Teriyaki Salmon oh and the chocolate fudge cake was the perfect finish!

Great Pub Restaurant great atmosphere Dog friendly pub which is not a problem But dogs should be kept on a leash at all times whilst in pub also large dog sitting on the sofa along the back wall This is ridiculous what if someone sits on the sofa and is wearing something light coloured dog was wet from rain Come on Lorimers get your staff to police this !!! dogs should be on the floor not on seats that patrons sit on

Usually enjoy the lovely food here but tonight not so good. Everything apart from my husbands vegetables were not hot enough and the rice on to meals was undercooked! The staff were lovely and service good, pity about the food 😔 Further to my review Ann kindly dealt with my complaint and we look forward to returning again soon.

First time in Lorimers and it was lovely. Beth our Server was very helpful and attentive. Food was really good apart from the Bruschetta which was covered in Balsamic vinegar, i coudl have moped it up and needed a magnigying glass to see the Parmesan. Other than that the rest of the food was lovely. My husband had the chikcen soup and then the fish and chips and he said he would definately go back. I had the Bruchsetta and the Parwns in a spicy creamy sauce which was also very nice. We will be back.

Food was good. Good variety on menu. Service was good but slow. It seemed that there was only one person serving and it was busy. I would still go back as the waitress was very friendly and helpful.

Had amazing service here, especially Anne who could not have been more helpful.

Lovely pub staff really let it down. If you are local thats great. If not the staff couldn't be more disinterested if they tried. Horrible as a visitor. Creepy actually.

Had dinner here with family. Beth was our waitress, she went above and beyond nothing was a problem for her, A real credit to the restaurant.

Been several times to Lorimers and always rated it High. Tonight however my starter which I've had on most of my visits tonigh was very disappointing. Lime chilli prawns, salad was sad and discoloured and limp, 4 prawns? Not the usual Lorimers standard. I did bring this to the attention of the waitress, who said she would report it. It was not reduced nor removed from the bill.

Had dinner at Lorimers tonight for my parents anniversary.. slight mix up with our table meaning we had to wait a little after after our original time because it was so busy. But I must say the team were absolutely brilliant in accommodating us for pre-drinks.. We had an excellent night.. I was also here a few weeks ago with friends.. Food brilliant and again excellent service. Will definitely be back.

Excellent all round and food was lovely

Fantastic home cooked at food at reasonable prices.

Family had a lovely meal. Food was amazing. Friendly staff.

Food was good as always... Would have been nice if the kitchen had told the waiting staff what was sold out before we ordered ...

The food in here is amazing, fillet steaks are immense.

First time here. Such friendly and lovely staff! Very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. Will absolutely be back!

Just had my anniversary dinner here. Food was very good and service was even better. Asked the young boy if he could make me a cosmopolitan and it was one of the very best I have ever had. Had to have another. Will definitely be back very soon

We recently moved to the area, and a few people had recommended Lorimers for food, we were a bit skeptical at first as we thought it was more of a pub that would have the usual pub grub, but how wrong were we! The food is amazing, the starters were lovely, we had the king prawns and salt and pepper chicken. Both were brilliant. For mains we went for the fillet steak and the Tomahawk steaks, absolutely flawless, some of the best steaks we’ve had. I would highly recommend to all

Fabulous food and great staff everytime we've visited. Never disappointed.

Lovely meal very enjoyable will return soon

Went here for dinner 🍽 the food was lovely! So nice, my boyfriend got a steak, which was delicious

Haven't eaten in the restaurant for some time and delighted to say we weren't disappointed. Food was fantastic and well presented in beautiful crockery. Not a single negative comment from a table of four. Well done chef and a huge thanks to the wonderful, attentive staff

Even when you arrive @ 7pm,the staff lie about being fully booked when it's clear that the majority of tables are empty. Renfrewshire council should remove the licence to sell food here as the owners or the children that run the place do so to suit themselves and not the poor people of Bishopton or visitors.

Food was amazing, very well priced. And staff were lovely. Will be back

Went with my sister for a bite to eat. Both meals were gorgeous and staff were very helpful and courteous. Will be back very soon.

Good food, good drink, pleasant atmosphere for a meal during day, reasonably priced, friendly staff. Has beer garden

Fantastic food at very good prices. Friendly attentive staff. Would highly recommend

Very friendly and helpful staff, place very clean and food delicious, the homemade soup was smashing

Service excellent. Food very good.

Good pub with good food and friendly service.

Great service and food fantastic!

Good wholesome pub grub in nice surroundings. Busy for the number of staff but the manager clever enough to regulate the timings so not to overwhelm the kitchen.

Smashing bar with good selection of draught.

Really nice food and restaurant, reasonably priced, will definitely go again.

Great pub and great staff BUT My husband and I were sitting on the sofa at the back of the pub when a couple came in with a dog (maybe a pug) The let the dog sit up on the sofa between them I don’t think this should be allowed as people are sitting on these sofas dogs should be allowed but confined to sitting on the floor Staff should be policing this

Staff really mannered and nice surroundings . Excellent value and steak pie with hand cut chips was absolutely fabulous 👌

Good food and at a reasonable price.. ate at the two main meals for £10 promotion and I could not complain.

Fantastic food quick service 10 out of 10 👍

This was a first time visit to Lorimers, after recently moving to the area, and it was an excellent first impression. The Beef Burger (w/added Cheese and Peppers & Onions) was one of the best burgers I have devoured in recent times. Seeded brioche bun...

Lovely atmosphere. Very festive. Staff friendly & polite. Excellent service. Food lovely & well presented. Would recommend a visit

Live locally and used to go all the time. Have been twice recently and both times less than impressed with service. First time with two friends for lunch and we arrived and stood for around 10mins at sign that said wait to be seated. After...

Nice pub with some cosy quiet areas, friendly staff, easy parking and entertainment at weekends.

Visited in July, we stayed in near by Mar Hall, had a meal in their restaurant the 1st night of our stay, but on the 2nd night we chose to visit to Lorimers instead. So glad we did, the food was excellent, very friendly staff and the prices were great too! Highly recommended!

Lorimers is situated in Bishipton village and has a good menu.

Great service good prices very friendly staff

Great night and accommodated our every need....again!! And we are not regulars..

Nice clean pub and tasty food. The strawberry 🍓 cheesecake pots are to die for so yummy 😋

Lovely pub/restaurant. Excellent food, atmosphere and very attentive staff.

Food greasy, waitresses didn't know what they were doing

Good bar well run friendly staff
