The John Fairweather in South Lanarkshire

Love weatherspoons. .great food and lovely staff

A beautiful Wetherspoon Pub and very busy!Food was excellent!

Great place to get something to eat and take your time away from home doing some work socially. Great atmosphere and great value for money..I think that this is a cracking asset for Cambuslang residents to choose from the variety of services that are children friendly and helpful staff team to ensure the experience is a good one 👍 A1 services, thanks for feeding me at a reasonable price. 👏 👏 👏

Georgous converted theatre unfortunately wasn't allowed to stay with my service dog. Such a shame!!

Was really disappointed.The place was empty and we waited nearly 40mins for our meal.Dont mind when it's hoe cooked food but not stuff that's het up in a microwave.It would have been better if we were told there was a waiting time.

Love this spoons, nicely decorated mannequins kinda freaky but the service is prompt

Always love going there for my breakfast it's.the best of any others.i have been to.

Ideal for all ages. Great drink prices and great grub! I've never had a bad meal. The Staff are helpful and polite. It's not the closest pub to me but I think of it as my local now 🤘

Nice place in centre of Cambuslang, converted old art-deco styled cinema. Unfortunately the upper tier is not in use but has a few dummies up there in various poses, usual good selection of keenly priced drinks, reasonably food and an open wood fire near the entrance which is nice if it's cold outside, but can be difficult to get the seats near to it. This place is worth a visit

Nice food, nice prices, nice people. 👍

The Counting House is a cracking pub to meet up in for a night out. Reasonable prices and always busy 😎👍👌

Great for a meeting with friends and family, I say, worth a wee visit.

Absolutely disgusting. Ordered 3 small plates to start and 3 main courses. All 6 plates came together. Said to the waitress we did not want all together and we were told "ok I will just sit the main courses under a hot plate and bring them once you have finished." The main course was served barely warm and dry. The burger was overcooked, dry, and burnt. Please see photo. A full refund should be given. Will never be back at this shambolic place. Disgrace to say it's an eatery.

Similar range of products as all the others. Very nice building in a former cinema and bingo hall. Well maintained garden.

Had to send food back as it was cold because it had been left under the lights too long

Good pub food within fabulous building maintaining many original features

What can I say, had a fabulous time with family so relaxing and Diane the duty manager is outstanding showing excellent customer service. A very busy Saturday afternoon and non stop Diane was constantly serving food & drinks with a smile on her face 😀 A total credit to the company.

Great place to eat and relax , staff really pleasant will be going back .

The atmosphere seems like the only good thing about this place being a really cool old cinema. However, The food is sub standard at best. If you’re going on an outing please don’t choose this place unless you aren’t ordering food.

£2 a craft ale. Don't get better than that.

Great pub friendly staff good beer 🍺 of Budweiser my favourite handy for transport food delicious will be back again soon🙂

A scheme wether spoons so you get all sorts mainly older people , nice old theatre building

Great value for money, cracking breakfast and the remnants of the old cinema are a nice touch

Awesome building especially on the upper floor. Brilliant place! Not sticky.

Staff very friendly, spa was amazing, food was also to a high standard, well worth a stay

Up there with Cumbernauld as the worst spoons in Scotland

Wow! Amazing looking venue with a very laid back peaceful atmosphere. Place was clean and smart. Staff were friendly and helpful. Service was quick and accurate. The building is a large old theatre, complete with ticket office, boxes, and a full upper circle complete with mannequins as audience members. Food was great.

I very rarely eat here but I wanted a quick bite. I thought you cant go wrong with mac and cheesechips but they did. The Mac was stuck together and was lukewarm as were the chips. My son had the Caledonian burger which was also well below par. What is the point of complaining if your staff think that congealed food is acceptable to serve.

Place is cold, sat eating mybreakfast with my jacket on

It was superb couldn't fault it. Would definitely recommend

It's local. Meet friends. Quick lunch and loads of drinks.

My favourite Wetherspoons really beautiful inside and still can't believe its a spoons!

Old engine oil was the guest ale on 6/2/24, marvellous stuff :)

Typical Weatherspoons fayre in a Nice old cinema

Shut at 23-30 when it said opened till 24-00

The usual great value pub Friendly service Real ale for £1.99 And the mixed grill on special What more can you ask for This pub will be 10 years open in January 2024 and is still looking good Says a lot for the quality of fittings used

Lovely to see this old art deco building saved and restored. Cheapest pints Cambuslang. Safe and warm, with usual brilliant spoons range and prices.

This venue is spectacular. Old cinema / Bingo Hall cleverly converted into a classy pub.

Unwelcoming place. Manager said the table was being aggressive when there was 4 of us laughing and carrying on at the table. Person that ordered drinks wasn’t allowed served had order through app and was told the drinks had been refunded when ask where our order was or we wouldn’t have known if we didn’t ask. The Manager wouldn’t speak to myself and let a staff member speak to me whilst he continued to give out drinks. I was asking why I was rejected my order when I wasn’t being aggressive. There was no answer. I was also told my refund wouldn’t go back into my bank for 3 to 5 working days. I won’t be back.

Great venue for food and drinks - having the app on your phone is an absolute must

Ordered steak and kidney pudding, it was smaller than a tennis ball and accompanied by about 16 chips and a smear of mushy peas. I pointed out that I had not wanted a child's portion but was told "

Typical spoons, really nice inside, dummies in the seats are a nice touch. Shame about the junkies outside on steps. Put us off from returning

Cheap and cheerful. Food is OK for the price.

Amazing place. Love the history of the place

Great pub, mens toilets never had a working light and was getting dark. Should have been sorted

Excellent Katsu curry with breaded chicken

Great pub. Friendly staff. Mix up with food order but quickly sorted. Food was excellent.

I know that Spoons taking over historical buildings is often not viewed positively, but it is really well executed in this case, and the atmosphere is actually really good.

Never got food this time but will in future visit. The only downside is the rift raft that hang about outside it.

Clean glasses cheap beer nice women on a Friday

It was ok .But food was cold and nobody about to sort it. And not the first time.

I meet with a group of friends at this venue once a month for Sunday Brunch. Each time there is usually something they don’t have and today it was poached eggs! One friend did get hers, but then we were told they had run out, but could have fried or scrambled?!

Place dirty..had to ask for tables to be cleared..3 waitresses made 2 journeys to clear the requested tables...food cold..staff need trained on how to speak to customers..when my partner asked if lemonade was diet..girl behind bar just pointed to 'tap' lemonade saying that's it! Definitely won't be back and would advise people to do the same!

I’m not 100% on this but I think the last I time I visited this place was when I was a kid, and my mum took me to see either Pinocchio (on rerelease) or Thunderball around 1964/5. So, when I visited this place again last month I was really taken aback (and a tad emotional – no I hadn’t had a drink ) it’s a genuinely stunning looking pub that has preserved the features of the old cinema wonderfully. I only had a pint as was meeting friends in Town and popped into Cambuslang on my way to meet them - it was just what you expect from Wetherspoons a good solid drink at a reasonable price but is lovely surroundings. Love the place.

This doesn't look like a massive issue and it wasn't, but I received a breakfast, all was luke warm on arrival but the mushroom was raw, dirty and slimy. I reckon it was boiled for a minute and thrown out. The waitress (who was brilliant) brought out more for free, but unfortunately they were the exact same. On the outside, this doesn't seem like an issue, but looking closer, you could cause an illness with this lack of duty of care to a customer. These were unfit to be served and an inspector could have a kitchen closed over this poor show. There needs to be some basic culinary training given, and even worse, finger marks were embedded into one of the mushrooms to check if they were cooked "enough". It is pure negligence and unsanitary to be giving a product of such a poor quality. I could tell by the waitress she wasn't impressed either but still served it. But it wasn't her fault. The chefs should be ashamed of themselves over such a simple basic food.

Good food. Good service. Interesting decor!

After leaving very positive reviews over the years, I'm disappointed to leave a poor one, but fair is fair. After several weeks going for Sunday breakfast, about 5 or 6 in a row where we've not received what we ordered. Yesterday, yet again, the extras (extra bacon, hash browns) got sausages, soggy potato scone and no eggs. My brother had completely finished his breakfast before the rest of us got what we ordered. All three were wrong. Yes, nobody died, but the service levels have dropped over the last couple of years (on Sundays) Such a shame. Food is still decent!

Good honest, scoff, and stupidly cheap. I've only done the breakfast menu when I'm passing and have 45 mins of free time. I can't handle the full breakfasts as they are a belly bomb tsunami, but don't take my word for it, go for it. I'm gonna get pics on my next " sorry boss the traffic is a nightmare, I'll be an hour late" 🤣

Best place in Glasgow staff are amazing

Great service from the girl at the bar who had to put up with ridiculous complaint from the commenter below. To then post naming the member of staff shows the type of customer she was dealing with as it’s then personal. The staff here are always brilliant and shouldn’t have to put up with people like that at 1130 in the morning. … or any time! Food also was lovely ( especially the cookie dough desert!)

Usually very very nice staff and great pub. But the bar person this morning named Lisa was very bad mannered and unsuitable to be serving the public. She was very rude and disrespectful.

Cheap as chip's canny beat the price for breakfast with refillable coffee

Went for breakfast on a sunday chef ruined fried egg and forgot to butter bacon roll but nice old cinema

Great food and excellent service 10/10 would eat here again

Elegant Spoons in former cinema 🎥

Ordered a breakfast and asked for a soft yolk egg and when it arrived at the table the egg was hard with burst yolk that was hard, it looked like a rubber egg from a joke shop , this is not the first time this has happened, how hard can it be for the chef to cook a soft yolk fried egg? Also the bacon was undercooked , complete waste of money, could not eat it , awful ! The management need to hire a chef that can cook .

Good busy and nothing change and new more staff

Great atmosphere, terrible food.

Nice breakfast. The place was absolutely freezing. No heating at all yet air con on. The james fairweather haa lovely decor including funny models in the gallery

Best Weatherspoons we have been to for CLEANING as well as clearing tables. Well done. Be have been to many Weatherspoons and they all clear tables but very few actually clean tables.

Lovely place inside such a beautiful building inside especially with many of the original features remaining intact. Food is usually decent too, only negative is they bring in their poached eggs already half cooked which is slightly disappointing it’s not hard or time consuming to freshly poach an egg

Nice breakfast experience...serene...sitting upstairs is absolutely amazing

Lovely experience over there.nice ambience..you can spent hours..

Ok Weatherspoon's. You get what you pay for.

This place is mixed bag. Firstly, it's a beautiful, stunning old cinema with many features remaining. There are ornate gold decorative features throughout. I could admire it for hours. Amazing range of beers and the prices are quite remarkable. That makes it a millennial heaven who are too busy being millennials to appreciate their exquisite surroundings. I'll say it before you- okay boomer!

Good service lovely food friendly atmosphere

Food is lovely staff realy nice had a good day here

We lived in Cambuslang for years never went to the cinema or the bingo but went bck for a bit of business went in and was surprised how nice it was

It's actually really nice inside. Definitely worth a visit especially if you like to see old cinemas with original features!

The food is tastless. Definitely won't be eating here again

Enjoying tasty food in a brilliant building and fixtures with good manner service

By far the best looking spoons I've been in. Live the deco, the old theatre seats up top are a sight to see. Lovely old building. It's spoons. What more can you ask for

Wow, a fantastic pub set in an old classic cinema, you can help admire the amazing interior. Food and beer class too!

If only it had an atmosphere (played some tunes)

Fantastic looking pub! Dropped in after a walk along the river. Found whisky going for a pound a shot. Total disaster for the rest of my day 😂

Great value for money and a good atmosphere! Friendly staff

Alright for a drink, really busy getting a seat can be a nightmare. Great place to catch up with friends for a natter

Standard Wetherspoons. Could do with more staff.

Interesting inside space. Plenty room. Normal quick spoons service

Having something to eat here for 2nd Friday in a row. 2nd time that staff have got order wrong... First time asked for jacket potato with 5 bean chilli, got 5 bean chilli with rice and tortilla chips. OK it was a fair substitute. Second time (today, 10/02/23), ordered 8 inch vegan vegetable pizza, sweet chilli dip, Side Salad and accompanying glass of white. Paid and took wine to the table and awaited meal. Got to admit that their service is super quick, got meal within 5 minutes of ordering, NO side salad... When I enquired the waitress admitted that she didn't hear me ask for it... Is it too noisy in premises or behind bar??? Service is OK, prices OK, premises clean enough (tables needed clearing) and the food was also OK but please listen to people ordering or ask them to REPEAT order to get it right next time....

Lovely building. Food really nice ..staff very pleasant. Would recommend it..

Lovely staff, nice vintage interior of an old cinema (might need a little touch here and there but has a climate of its own)... Good portions of food in a fair price. Unfortunately wheelchair user might find it really hard to get to the pub us there are only steps and could not find a lift. Another down fold is parking if you don't know the area you might find it harder to find a parking spot especially free of charge.

been a regular here and visit once a month over the last year,usually a female cook and food is on the money, Don,t know what happened today mixed grill with baked potato was not warm & meats over cooked,my large mixed grill arrived meat over cooked & peas stone cold and egg totally overdone and brick hard and chips were missing which i later got , I ,am not a chef but i no how to cook a egg so take some pride in what you serve as every penny counts in these times and if you keep serving poor food you will be out a job.fried egg was only fit for the bin.

First time at this venue nice clean place good food and good service from friendly staff

Seems to be an issue in a few Wetherspoons, asked for a Beyond Burger with nothing on, couldn’t be clearer, no onions nor lettuce nor tomato. Did they listen, no!! Also when guy did a check back and asking if all was ok, I said ‘yes but….’ All he heard was yes and walked away, I wanted to tell him about the mistake in the burger, but hey, what do I know?? Food was ok, listening skills leave a lot to be desired.

Nice place, nice atmosphere and the staff are really friendly and helpful

Very good value for money. Service was efficient and friendly. Unfortunately their fryers were off so menu was limited

Great value for money. We were a larger group and able to move the seating around to suit ourselves which was appreciated. Food came quickly and the portion sizes were good.

Had one of my favourite pints on, March of the Penguins, and good food. Staff very attentive.

Decent selection of beer and food.
