The Red Deer in North Lanarkshire

My wife and sister in law attended on the Saturday and just had to return on the Sunday (this time with me and her husband) for a roast dinner. The restaurant has a side to accommodate dogs, so a win-win. The meals were excellent and great value for £s. We just couldn’t leave the place and stayed a while given the cosy ambience / atmosphere with fairy lights and in front of the cosy fire. Staff were so friendly too. For those walking, while the path from the BP garage isn’t great for a short section of what is a busy road, mind this venue is easily accessible via Eastfield, so easy to get to for residents from Blackwood, Broadwood, Westfield, Eastfield and Balloch, so you can leave the car at home (and have a beer, glass of wine 😁. Looking forward to going back this weekend. Cheers, Frank

Food was disgusting, I had mac and cheese only half bowl burnt , salad was soggy and the garlic bread a could even eat it was too hard , the meal took too long ( probably burning it ) my partner had the gammon steak no pineapple chips were cold gammon steak was only good bit about the meal , we had two drinks beer and a med wine cost nearly 40 pounds shocking will never eat here again

Again another lovely lunch in the Red Deer Cumbernauld. Staff are always very attentive & welcoming. The Signature Burger is always good & what a plateful! Macaroni Cheese is always tasty too. The menu has a lot of choice and suits everyone.

Excellent value for money. The food was lovely and the staff were so friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend.

My friend and I had late lunch and were hogging a table having a good chat and the staff were super attentive and accommodating of the time we needed to elapse after lunch before we could fit dessert in. We really wanted a dessert and my brownie was excellent! Extra thanks to Amy and Leanne who updated our car registrations on the parking so we would not get a ticket for being over the 3 hours. The food was tasty, good value and great service. Bonus points for being dog friendly. Will definitely be back.

Staff were great and flexible about gluten free options. Lovely warm fireplace and very friendly atmosphere. We have asked the lady to pet her dog Murphy for us as he looks so cute 😊

Very friendly service. Welcoming, good seats, good tasty food, reasonable prices, will be back

Fantastic food and the staff were great. Would definitely recommend

Always good fresh prepared meals. Excellent choice. Steak cooked perfectly👌 Crumble is the tastiest dessert

The staff were super friendly and the service was very good.

Lovely atmosphere and good range of food Very friendly and helpful staff

Great meal on a Tuesday evening. Cosy country pub feel to the Vintage Inns. Lovely starters cheesy mushrooms and camembert fritters. Was told the Hunter's Chicken was excellent. Fish and chips was good. Staff were helpful and cheery. Will visit again.

Had a terrible experience on Sunday with family. My own meal was served with French bread on my dinner plate and the bread had green mould on both slices. How kitchen staff and the waitress didn't spot this is unbelievable. Also before the meal arrived we ordered Prosecco which arrived totally flat, with no bubbles, and a terrible taste to it. Never again

I can’t express how much I enjoyed this place! The service was amazing, and the staff was incredibly helpful and kind. I couldn’t recommend it enough. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back again.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Red Deer. Service from Ani was amazing and the food by Tam, Ally and Michael was really tasty. They are extremely dog friendly which meant our pup had a great time too.

£3.25 for a can of Irn Bru..should be embarrassed

Frequented this establishment fairly regularly in the distant past. Was warm and welcoming, and the food was excellent. Sadly, this is no longer the case. Service was poor, and the food was mediocre at best. Waiting staff did not listen to their customer!

Had a lovely meal here tonight. Food was absolutely delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Would come back again for sure! Thank you!

Have visited The Red Deer twice now and have had a very warm welcome. A cosy table by the fire has been very appreciated on both occasions. The food is amazing and great selection available. Well done to all the staff. Shame we don't live in the area as would eat here frequently.

Beautiful restaurant great food very friendly service. You must try stake sam with

Overpriced poor quality food I ordered 2 mains 2 drinks and 1 side had to remind them about my side half way through my meal and it arrived after I had finished my meal. Definitely won't visit this establishment again.

Food is amazing, great value for money, really nice and friendly and warmly place

Superb Sunday roast. Fabulous friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Great place with good food. Staff really friendly. Thanks Ani, Stuart, Kahelynne!

Enjoyable food. Eve was a lovely server.

We were craving for a good pub meal and ended up having a great one! Not only was the food very well cooked and tasty, but the staff were fab too.

Lovely place with great food, will be sorry to see it closing.

We love the place and the staff are always welcoming

Staff are always really friendly & helpful. My husband has Alzheimer’s & my Mum is 93 & they help them with their food choices & are very patient. The food was really good & everyone enjoyed their meal.

Drinks sat at bar for 5 min had to constantly ask bar staff about drinks and food to slow food for money we paid for 4 adults and 4 kids for that level of service was shocking as people no it ain't the cheapest

Really Excellent customer service. Nothing too much trouble and felt like valued customers ..Katelynne & Stuart &Kayleigh are pleasant and friendly.. we will recommend and definitely come back! Thank you guys

Excellent meals location central to cumbernauld staff so curtious well worth a visit highly recommend

Service was amazing my server was called katelynne and was really nice and made sure I had everything me and my girlfriend needed

Really pleasant surroundings, good Sunday roast at a reasonable price and extremely friendly and attentive staff. Dog friendly.

Just enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch at the Red 🦌 with family and our dogs. Food was excellent, atmosphere was great. Feeling very stuffed this afternoon.

The food is so good, freshly and homey cooked meals, the service is good as well and the design of the restaurant is elegant yet relax. It has good seating capacity inside and spacious seating arrangements outside

So friendly and lovely staff. I really like the atmosphere ( so local and cozy) and Great food as well.

Charming and traditional pub with great service

The Red Deer is a Hotel/Restaurant/Pub well worth a visit. The atmosphere is that of a country pub, carpet and parquet flooing, cosy, with a roaring open hearth fire (only during the winter). The food was very good with a varied selection of meals. For starters we tried, Salt and Pepper Calamari, Deep Fried Breaded Brie, Soup of the day. For mains we tried, Hunters Chicken with chips, Macaroni, Aubergine with salad, Meat Pie with a red wine sauce and seared vegetables. Overall a bit pricey but dogs are allowed inside, so that's great. The staff were very helpful and professional. We hope to return in the future.

We had great food especially for the price the place is immaculate, we will definitely be back.

Food tasted good. A vegan alternative was prepared for me, just as it says on the menu. There was also oat milk with the iced coffee. There is beer on tap, including bottles. Furnishings are quaint and cozy. Service was friendly. We spent 60 euros on 2 meals, 3 beers and an iced coffee, which is not a small amount.

Delicious food, previously had a takeaway but wanted to try dine-in, didn't disappoint. Definitely recommend.

We go every couple of months with our kids and for a quick adults only meal. It’s cosy and has a lovely atmosphere. The menu is varied and there are good options for those in a restricted diet, the chefs Tom and Tyler are really knowledgable and happy to help. On our last visit the three staff all took turns serving and checking on us. They are very attentive (cassie, Michael and Kate Lynne). It’s our local “quick grab” and occasion meal destination and don’t see that changing any time soon. It’s great value for money, the foods fantastic, the staff are lovely, in the winter it’s got an actual fireplace that makes it feel really homely. Plus they welcome well behaved dogs!

I was at the Red Deer earlier today as I had some car trouble. Due to a ridiculous set of events my coolant filler cap ended up down a drain and out of reach. Long story short I enquired in the Red Deer if they could offer any help. Rachel was the staff member whom I met. She really went above and beyond, she was able to find a litter picker hook to help me out of my nightmare situation. So helpful and friendly. A real credit to the business.

Staff and food were excellent, when you were eventually served. We waited over 60 mins for two meals, staff were nice about it offering a free drink and a discount on the bull, but it's a long time to wait, especially as the place had no more than a dozen or so folk in

Great food and service. Katelynne (sorry if I spelt her name wrong) was also a great server to us and incredibly kind with a hint of humor.

Great restaurant to go to Friendly staff great service Well recommended Can take dogs in aswell

Lovely food as always. Mac and cheese was very very tasty

Nothing great food ok service could be better

Nice looking pub. Felt pricey for 2 drinks. The TV screen for the football needs to be refreshed.

Food was amazing like dining in a restaurant I was pleasantly surprised . My daughter wolfed down her steak

Fantastic wee place food really reasonably priced, and 100% worth a visit, had Hollumi chips, triple fried chips and Macaroni pie, absolutely delicious, staff very friendly and a cozy place loved it, well done guys.

We wanted a relaxing dinner after a walk around the city, the Red Deer (Vintage Inns) didn't disappoint. There was a good range on the menu, the food was really tasty (gammon steak and fish and chips, both cooked well) and the atmosphere was cosy and relaxed, had quiet background music (not like in some places where you can't hear the person next to you!). Staff were attentive and friendly. We'd absolutely visit again.

Friendly, approachable, and engaging staff. The food was very good. The ambiance was perfect. We liked that you have a positive policy towards dogs .

Great service as usual. Love the chicken schnitzel best around anywhere. Meals are great. Even in winter can ask for table near open fire.

Went through the week so it was quiet as expected. Always a good place to get a coffee and a catch up with friends. Food is good too.

Food was lovely and good quality for the money. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was served quickly!

Ordered the spicy cauliflower soup for starters. Was a warm watery carrot and coriander colour and taste!!. Checked with waitress...confirmed it was what I had ordered! Very odd taste and colour. Hubby ordered deep fried brie with a mango sauce.it came and the cheese still hard inside, outside very brown..no sauce. He was offered a sweet chilli sauce instead Wanted a plain carvery for main.. Menu stated all veg had herbs etc on. Waitress was accommodating when I asked for plain veg. I didnt want the turkey but she advised I woud get extra beef. Can't say I noticed . Hubby's portion was bigger than mine. At £19 each for the carvery then soup and brie nearly £7 each it was very expensive given the quality of the food. 4 cars in the carpark on a Sunday lunchtime..... Speaks volumes!!. Won't be returning...

Lovely food in a relaxing atmosphere. The staff who served us (Kayleigh, Shannon and Stuart) were all so helpful and the food (prepared by Tam and Ally) and beautiful. Will definitely be back!

Lovely glass of Malbec and excellent service from the very friendly staff, Kayleigh was very helpful. Would recommend!

Great wee find. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and very accommodating as walk in customers. Quick service from Stuart on the drinks and Shannon delivered our snacks with a smile. We’ll definitely be back.

Great wee Sunday lunch. Great place very rustic feel country pub. Must visit

Have been coming here for many years now. Great friendly service (by Ani) and an excellent Sunday roast (Tyler) again today, to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Look forward to returning soon.

Staff very polite. Lovely food

If it had not been for meeting my good friends, I would have complained, but they like the place. The service wad poor, the staff were overstretched and were trying their best, but too many customers for 2 waitresses to cope. The restaurant had run out of 2 of the main courses and some other things. Poor.

Love time celebrating my wife's bday. Thabk Shannon Kayleigh and chef tom

Came in for food staff were lovely and food was delicious

Driver lovely even though had to climb all the stairs . Thanks

The food was good and the staff were very friendly, the place has a nice atmosphere. The only downside is that the drinks menu (unsure if this also applies to the food menu) differs from what is shown on the Vintage Inns app, so we ended up just not bothering with the app as some things were missing.

Good table set aside for us and the dogs.Orders was taken quickly and served piping hot.

Kind staff, great atmosphere, dog friendly, good portions for the price, tasty food. My only qualm is that i ordered the slow cooked and pork belly roast, the skin wasn't crispy so in reality it was two small sheets of meat sandwiched between 2" layers of fat.

Food was very good. Staff were lovely.

Food was good, and service was very personable. The manager and the waitress (Shannon) were both very accommodating to our young family and we felt very welcome. Would recommend.

Excellent food as always and our server Michael was amazing! Love the cosy feel of the pub as well! Would 100% recommend!

Just world class service man. Goods great, pints are great and the service is even better. Cheers to Michael and the team. We’ll be back 🙌🏼

Great food as always! Love the cosy vibe of the pub, it’s so lovely! Our server Michael was also top notch! Would 100% recommend!

Just top class man. Lovely wee venue. The service was first class. Both times. Like honestly, the best. So big up the team and oor server Michael. Cheers troops. Also pints of Estrella are phenomenal 🍺 We’ll be back 🙌🏼❤️

Amazing food Excellent presentation Excellent staff & service was served by Linda who made sure everything was perfect & big shout to chef Fraser food was outstanding

Second visit food qas amazing michael and steqrt was good hosts and food frqser prepqred waa awsome will defenetly be back

Very good food and friendly service. Competitive prices. Need faster wifi, but not their fault !

Had a lovely meal for my grandson's 21st birthday. Nice atmosphere. Service was a bit slow but the server apologised for the delay and he was really nice. I would return as the food was delicious.

Great place, most lovely and welcoming staff. I’ve felt home, as someone on a business trip from Saudi Arabia, in Scotland for the first time. They have great lamb, a must try, as well as rib eye steak.

Food freezing no veg with one and wrong ordered received.

Lovely restaurant, staff are very warm and welcoming, food was delicious, large portions. Definitely will be returning.

Steak burned on the outside. food cold on arrival.

Lovely food and drink! Kayleigh was super accommodating and went out of her way to help.

Food was excellent. Had the pate to start, good size and there was enough bread for the pate!!! Which is unusual 😂. Had the fish and chips for main, the fish was super fresh and the batter was amazing, very different to usual but I liked it. Service was a little slow if I'm being critical, but it was 5pm on a Monday evening and it was dead, issue is staff are behind the bar and can't see where we were seated so maybe felt a little forgotten.

went for sunday dinner, all the meals were delicious, had deserts and hot drinks after and everything was perfect, service was fabulous too!!

Menu was varied. Pie of the day was lovely. Also enjoyed coffee and mini pudding.

Staff and service excellent with good quality food with decent portions

Good was alright, but wait times on the day we went were so disastrously slow I ended up with £100 ticket from the car park. It took 2 hours before our first dish arrived.

no onions rings with order, or chips

The service at the red deer is always amazing. We are always made to feel so welcome. The food is very tasty and great choice of wines. Brilliant value for money.

food was good, service was good, and we brought our two dogs so it was a nice evening

Rustic family friendly pub, with good food and friendly service

Food was great, service was 10/10. I was there with my 2 year old son and the waitress Jane was amazing with interacting with him, would highly recommend

when i visited the red deer i was welcomed and greeted amazingly and the people and staff made me feel welcome i was spoken to politely and treated with car. service was brilliant my waiter was jane

We visited the Red Deer on our way to the Kelpies & Falkirk Wheel. As we were travelling in a vw camper the pub allowed us to stop for the evening. We booked a table for food and we were not disappointed. I chose the fishcakes and my hubby chose the pie of the day. Our superb waitress Annie was very attentive making sure we had everything we needed and even brought a bowl of water for our dog. I would highly recommend a stopover or even just a nice meal out. The food was hot tasty and very reasonably priced 2 x main meals which were very filling and a bottle of red wine for less than £50. We will return thanks guys x
