The Rambler in Glasgow City

Had lunch today with my cousin I had the special steak ceabatta and Robert had cajun chicken pasta All food fresh and served piping hot with a lovely fresh salad garnish. A fantastic menu great value for money and such friendly service. Will be back and recommend highly.

Popped in this afternoon for lunch and a few drinks in the beer garden with my partner and wasn't expecting much tbh but what a great afternoon we ended up having. We were served by the lovely Rebecca who couldn't of been any nicer or helpful, truly a credit to the pub. The beer garden is fantastic, spotlessly clean and very modern. It's situated at the back of the pub away from the main road and hidden in away from the wind. We had the surf and turf to eat, the plate was pilled high with tiger prawns and the most delicious hand cut chips. This was washed down with a beautifully chilled bottle of white wine. Great value for money, all the better knowing that it's a family run buisness. Already booked to come back with my son and mother on Friday!

Debs en la cocina es excelente, esta señora puede cocinar, la ensalada de morcilla es deliciosa, gran jardín de cerveza.

Decidió probar el Rambler después de verlo en la página de revisión. Reservé una mesa por teléfono, personal servicial. los Rambler es un gran bar con una gran taberna al aire libre en la parte trasera con mucho espacio para socializar en el interior y aparcamiento gratuito en la parte trasera. El menú es abundante en desayunos, almuerzos y comidas completas durante todo el día. Nos decidimos por sopa, sándwiches (servidos con ensalada) y bebidas frías. El servicio es amable y atento y al ser un día húmedo por dentro estaba bastante ocupado. La comida era buena y bien presentada pagamos la cuenta con un descuento del 50% sin preguntas siendo miércoles. Sin duda volveremos a probar otros platos y recomendaría el Rambler para una comida de pub.

Estábamos buscando un bar para perros que estuviera a una corta distancia de nosotros y encontramos este en línea, ¡así que me alegro de haberlo hecho! El sol estaba fuera, así que nos sentamos en el encantador jardín de la cerveza, cómodas sillas y sofás, lo cual fue un cambio agradable del plástico duro normal que normalmente se encuentra. Nos dieron la fuente para compartir con nuestras bebidas y nos quedamos muy impresionados, no los artículos congelados habituales que se obtienen de algún lugar. ¡El pollo era increíble y claramente hecho en casa! Buena selección de cervezas y gins definitivamente volveremos

He estado aquí por comida en 4 ocasiones diferentes con amigos y familiares y todos están de acuerdo en que la comida es excelente. Definitivamente merece 5 estrellas ?????

Not much happening when we went in just a big tv up on wall showing football on a Saturday night. Not my cup of tea.

What can I say, the Rambler is so much better since the owners changed. I have visited many times but never taken the time to write a review till now. Friendly staff, lovely menu with great choice all home cooked, what else could you ask for in village local? The new owners have created a family friendly feel and there is a real buzz about the place now. The fact many regulars from the new owners old bar have followed them here speaks wonders about the atmosphere they create. A real home from home.

Just popped into Torrance and the Rambler pub for quick bite to eat during road trip. There was a good choice and reasonably priced food on their menu. Lunch was tasty and we made the most of the sunshine and sat outside in the comfortable, terraced area. The main point for writing this review was to mention the very friendly staff and excellent service. Parking area available at the back.

Brilliant family run pub. Friendly , good fun, great staff, great atmosphere , good food, great live entertainment. Great night out with either family or friends. Highly recommended

Yes I know it's a pub yes I know it's Torrance and not bray or padstow but when you see a website that shows scallops,steak ,rack of lamb then you think it should live up to some of its hype. Went in Thursday 15th Feb 18,informed 2 lagers off and someone will fix it later,okay bad start,went to restaurent pub menu showed only basic food,I asked about the steaks,not on the menu I was informed. So asked to start with the haggis fritters,waitress came back,no haggis ,what in Scotland,okay mixed platter then,came back the waitress no platter as The fryer isn't working but you can have anything else on the menu I suppose you could providing it didn't need fried or cooked!!.there was actually a chef in whites in the kitchen,must have had a easy night not having to cook anything,the owners of this pub need to have a good look at themselves they are a disgrace,so I walked out and went to the Torrance inn ,what a difference.

popped in with my wife and a friend for a wee drink.and some food. menu was varied and was all home cooked fare. Was served by a lovely girl Becca who took our order and chatted away while getting us drinks. I got Hunters chicken with mash & choice of veg, delicious chicken was succulent and bacon crispy with spicy bbq sauce topped with cheese. the other 2 both got fish and chips, which they said the batter was very light and the fish cooked perfectly. all in all a cracking meal was had by all and staff friendly with the price very reasonable. I would recommend taking a trip in...oh and they have 2 log open fires..which makes it all cosy. great new owners are onto a winner if this keeps up.

Great food and very friendly staff. They are very dog friendly also. Highly recommended. Great Italian menu.

Visited with 5 friends from work we were extremely disappointed in the food considering the price, poorly presented and cold. Although dry and not cold we were told the beer garden was closed due to no gas in stock . Dont waste your time

Nice pub in Torrance Village.. Visited with friends who live locally.. Gastro Pub style food. Decent quality and portion size.Staff very helpful..Would like to visit on a Summers day or night as there is an outside area which looks lovely to sit and enjoy a drink..

5 ladies on an early Friday evening out with hubbies looking after the kids attend to enjoy a drink and they saw us comming! Lawyer friend pointed out that charging £22 for a bottle of prosecco sold in Costco for £8.33 and not listed on their menu is illegal. You can't simply think of a price on the spot then have the audacity to say your champagne is £40 a bottle. Who on earth do you think you are? Poor waiting staff when it was pointed out that we could have purchased 75cl bottles of prosecco for less for the same volume they were embarrassed and very apologetic. Management/owner is building a reputation for arguing with patrons as opposed to encouraging return trade. A standard village pub in Torrance. We pay less in an upmarket City Centre pub. We won't be back.

Tuvimos una comida allí recientemente. La carne estaba muy soso, incluso parecía penoso. La presentación era patética, un trozo de carne y sosa 5 poco sequedad patatas estaban todo lo que estaba en la placa y el acompañamiento de sequedad y aspecto zanahorias brócoli hizo la comida. Había más cartílago de carne en la carne. Los peces de nuevo era insípida empanada unseasoned y las patatas fritas eran tan seco como polvo en el medio. El restaurante fue hecho como un velatorio. Paredes marrones, paredes de color verde oscuro y estaba muy fría. Volveríamos? Sólo si contratan un cocinero/chef, porque claramente no tienen uno y quizás alguien con un poco de sabor cuando se trata de decoración.

Lovely, well cooked lunch. Great atmosphere, loved the real fire. Excellent, welcoming staff. We will be back.

Visitamos el Rambler para el almuerzo. Elegimos desde el pub clásicos como el resto del menú era bastante caro para el almuerzo. Ambos tuvimos la torta de carne, que era muy agradable y estaba recién preparado y servido con patatas y verduras. Luego tuvimos el budín de flan de jengibre con pegajosa, que era preciosa. La camarera era muy amable y acogedor, y ayudar con la elección de la cerveza. El chef/propietario salió estaba charlando con nosotros y otros clientes, que era un toque agradable. Él nos dijo que estaban empezando un nuevo menú de domingo con dos asados del domingo y una botella de vino, que tenemos ganas de probar algún día.

Escuchamos cosas buenas sobre el menú, aunque hay todavía en ir a las áreas de cambios exterior e interior. Fuimos el domingo por la noche para una comida rápida en la barra pero nos decepcionó. El servicio era agradable todo el mundo haciendo una buena impresión pero las comidas era malo, sólo que no tienen cigalas y patatas fritas y eso es exactamente lo que conseguimos, no ensalada para darle alegría a la placa que lo hacían muy básico. Vamos a volver y probar las "especiales" cuando tengamos más tiempo, ya que vivimos cerca. Budín de vapor era delicioso.

Estuve en el pub el viernes por la noche. La camarera "Rachel" era un caballero. Ella era educado, atento, servicial y muy rápido el servicio. Sin duda volveremos para el gran servicio ofrecido por Rachel. Recomiendo este pub a cualquiera buscando un camarero como Raquel, que cumple todos los adjetivos mencionados anteriormente.

Recientemente visité este buen establecimiento y estaba feliz de encontrar que la chica rubia del bar era más bien. Recomiendo este pub no solo por la estupenda comida sino también la vista!

My wife and I visited a fortnight ago, as has most appealing menu of the pubs in village.Since our last visit, some months ago, things appeared to have improved. A menu from which your choice would at least be available, We enjoyed our meal, we enjoyed our evening. So thinking things were on the up we returned for dinner this evening.Lets get some context first, our village could benefit from having a gastro pub, pub / restaurant, whatever, that delivers good food in a congenial environment.We already have existing establishments, which serve up bar food, I want more for my village, and am willing to pay.We booked a table, no problem, ordered drinks, fantastic, waiting staff genial and attentive. Ordered our meal, still great, until waitress, couldn't open a very over priced bottle of wine, without splitting the cork. We chose to sit in the booths, to catch the football, however we were surprised by the F ing and C ing from others. F ing not a problemThe food, half a dozen scrawny shrimps in garlic, not even a crumb of bread to soak up the juices £6.75. Scallops which you could bounce off the wall £6.75 not overly priced, if not overly cookedFresh Scampi and chips, under cooked bland and tastelessGet this seasonal veg, £3.75 for 3 pieces of broccoli and half dozen bits of carrot, which had obviously been re heated in ping machine, mushy. I am so disappointed I would welcome a serious eaterie in our village, something with a difference.Alas we have a charlatan, sort it out, we want great food, not bull...!!!!

First visit and would highly recommend. Garlic prawns to start followed by steak pie both fantastic. My fiancé had the tortellini which was outstanding then the sea-bass. His words were "that's the best sea-bass I have ever tasted". Reasonably priced and staff attentive and friendly. Looking forward to going back to sample Sunday lunch.

Great place! Lovely staff and the food is simply superb- my dad says the lasagne is one of the best hes ever tasted. Steak pie was homemade and delicious,scallops were magic! A wee tad pricey but definately worth every penny...will absolutey be back. Top marks

I wanted to really like this place. Went on a sat night, not too busy. A la carte chosen,hot garlic prawns, over cooked. 4 of us, steak pie was good, lasagna - dry served with a green salad (out a bag) neither of the 2 that ordered it finished it & the chef came out & asked how we enjoyed our meal to which my friend replied that the lasagne was a tad on the dry side (under exaggerated ) & he replied that it was supposed to be dry.....there's dry & there's dry !! I ordered the fillet steak with pepper sauce, reasonable size steak... tasteles ( looked as though it had been suveed ) honestly it was tasteless & at £21 I expected something decent plus the fact it was served with asparagus which I love but was more than al dente.....couldn't eat it & could'nt eat the steak. The pepper sauce wasn't pepper...don't know what it was but it wasn't good. The wine was nice but way over priced for local outskirts Torrance. This place is punching above its weight & missing.It's overpriced & the food is ok, not great.So would I go back....no.Check out the wheatsheaf down the road it's not overpriced, the steak pie is lovely & it doesn't pretend to be something that it's not. It's basic pub food but it won't break the bank.

Beautiful freshly made afternoon tea, next to a lovely warm log burner served by the attentive chef and his son. well worth a visit!!

We were in at the right of the front door. Cosy atmosphere and the fire was on. The high tea didn't disappoint. Roast beef sandwiches, tuna sandwiches and egg and chive. 2 large fruit scones and 2 plain and an amazing slice of sponge cake. We had a glass of prosseco and tea. It was a lovely afternoon. We will be back as the menu looked great too.

we visited the rambler of Torrance for sparkling afternoon tea purchased through groupon,, did not know what to expect but was highly impressed with both décor and quality of food, lovely country pub superb inside and the food was not bad either, great portions and choice, will 100% be back for dinner

Invited here for a friends birthday on Saturday afternoon. It seemed an average pub and I have expecting some decent pub grub. We must have arrived after the lunch rush as we were the only people there. Service was rubbish, after being greeted, by what I assumed was the chef, we were given a full run down of almost every dish on the menu - after 10 minutes we were allowed to make a drinks order. It all seemed very shambolic to me, having the chef delivering drinks to us and taking food order - maybe they were seriously understaffed. Then mains arrived, I had the 'Ramblers Burger' - which on the menu boasted of a big burger and all the trimmings (chunky fries, relish, onion rings), however I was forced to settle with a rubbery burger in a bun, and mcdondonald style chips. I was so disappointed but I felt I could not complain as this lunch was a special occasion. If I was to complain - the only point of contact we had so far was the chef himself and a server who did not introduce himself. Overall the service and food were so bad I will not be recommending or returning to this plastic pub.

A great place for a meal or a drink. The Rambler has excellent food and a friendly atmosphere. I especially like the seafood. There is a good choice of drinks including a local real ale. The owner and staff are very helpful and go out of their way to make sure you are happy.

My family and I were in Scotland from Boston for a funeral and had the occasion to visit The Rambler of Torrence based on a friends recommendation. From the initial greeting by the owner, Stephen, to the excellent service and food, it was by far out best experience in Scotland for dining. We have been over several times for different occasions and only regret is that we found this excellent restaurant on our last night in Scotland. Personal recommendations include both the sirloin, filet and mussel chowder. Also, do not leave without trying the best white coffee in the country. Mr Giudici (Chef and owner) and family have an outstanding offering which will not disappoint anyone.

Visited the rambler today for the 2nd time and once again the food was amazing staff are really friendly atmosphere is excellent a nice family run pub definitely a place to visit when your in the area as you will not be dissapointed nice to come to a place where the food is all home made

Another excellent meal at the Italian weekend. Minestrone excellent fresh tasty. Lasagne a la mama followed by a beautiful pear dessert the cappuccino. Service excellent.

Hadn't planned to eat out but went down to our "local" for a drink and was tempted by the new decor and big welcome from Stephen and his great staff. We both had starters, minestrone for my husband and the prawns for me. Both delicious. For mains we had lasagne and liver. Again both exceptional. We shared the pear dessert. Altogether a great meal in a welcoming pub/restaurant. Thanks guys!

The chef will go out of his way to do what you want even if it's not on the menu staff couldn't do enough for you great atmosphere

Came here following a local funeral and was impressed at the spread provided in terms of quantity and quality. The staff were very attentive and busy with the numbers present and in other areas of the restaurant diners were still being attended to in style. A nice atmosphere and a bright ground floor area.The car park at the back is a bit odd in that space only exists really for a single row, but some folk were parking up, whilst others were parking down the ways, which meant that the onus is on you and others not to block people in.

Despite published offerings on the outside of establishment, menu was limited and was unappealing.Food, was over cooked and bland, overpriced and less than was expected for the price tag.If chef proprietor used proper veg instead of supersaver prepacks out of Asda might improve quality of the offering.I don't use prepacked own brand veg and produce in my own kitchen why pay for it.

I think this pub/restaurant falls between two stools. Is it a local boozer (which it was for decades)? Or is it a decent destination gastro-pub (which it aspires to be).So, on entering, it is slightly disconcerting to be engaged in questioning by the local imbibers, a bit like the scene in a Western Film where the piano player stops playing as you, the stranger, enter the Town Saloon! I am sure they are all really nice people and would make you most welcome in conversation, but it does seem like it is "their pub" and you are an intruder.Steak pie was good, veg ok. Apple tart great. So worth visiting again for fod.Next time I will not shave, wear a brown poncho and a cowboy hat whilst smoking a cheroot, then quietly sneer at the residents! Think Clint.

Saturday evening and the restaurant only had 2 other people in.Had Steak pie and asked for chips instead of new potatoes. Steak pie filling was very dry, macerated and had little taste, so had to ask for some gravy. My wife had a beefburger which came on it's own in a bun, along with 3 very greasy onion rings and enough skinny fries to feed the five thousand. Also tasteless relish on side. Chef asked if we enjoyed meal. Told him what we thought. He said nobody else had complained and that the steak filling is cooked for five hours which may be why it was macerated. He said he didn't cook the onion rings so did not comment. Received bill to find I was charged £2.50 extra for the chips. On querying was told that it was an extra charge as I had requested chips. After explaining I had asked if I could have chips instead of new potatoes they agreed to remove the charge. Will not be going back again.

Wonderful creation of Wild Rocket. Prosciutto. Nectarine. Parmesan and Balsamic glaze . At £7.50 for my starter. Great value and tasted amazing

I am local to Torrance and had heard favourable reports about the new team running the renamed "Rambler" bar and restaurant.The reports were well founded. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the 3 course lunch and house white wine was superb and represented excellent value for moneyI had a glance at their specials menu which looked intriguing and is supported by a fairly extensive wine choice.I have recommended the Rambler to others since my visit and my wife and I will certainly be back

Had dinner last Friday with a group of Greek pals. Very good indeed. Fresh seafood was first class and the service and quality was excellent. Overall this is a find and the owner chef was to hand and made all of us very welcome.Give it a try. DENNIS

The chef / owner is very passionate about serving fresh produce from Scotland . His menus changes weekly and has some real different choices to choose from.

Visited the rambler on sun 15 March. Was given the set menu as it was mothers day, husband had booked the day before and was told its as the normal menu. No menu suitable for the kids, told only chicken nuggets and chips for kids. My husband and oldest sons meal arrived,i looked at there plates and could tell the potatoes were a well known brand of the frozen variety. Me and the two kids had to wait a further 10 mins for our food. I ordered the chicken wrapped in prosciutto with a white wine sauce. Sauce wasn't good not cooked properly and the chicken was dry. To be fair the staff staff did apologise for the service as they seemed a bit harassed and we didn't get charged for the chicken nuggets and chips and a bowl of chips but to pay £15 per person for one two course meal and two main courses was quite poor.

Just had family meal tonight.Food was great plainly not microwaved fare, attentive staff who, were happy to accomodate tastes of younger ones. Those too old for kiddies menu and too young to choose .My starter choice wasnt available but made me try something new scallops and chorizo delicious.More expensive than other local restaurants but woth a bit extra.If we locals dont use it we will lose it, worth a visit we will be back

Visited twice since taken over by new management. Food is excellent and menu is very varied with lots of choices. On first visit had scallops followed by fillet steak, both were fabulous. on second visit had fish and chips, again the best I have tasted in a long time .Vegetarian friend also enjoyed the choices. Service was very attentive.Lovely wood burning stoves added to the ambience.
