this place has been through a few owners over they years with various different names.
Scary punters who growl on your way in. Seemed understaffed in our visit, the bar is in the centre of the pub, but the the two staff where rushed off their feet. very limited choice of lagers/beers. but it was cheap. toilets where shocking. We left after getting a can shoved in our face asking for money for a certain irish terrorist organisation.

Bought A chicken Korma meal deal from here.
For £7.20 i got pakoras chips, nan bread. spicy onions, and of course the korma itself.

The pakora was lovely. You can really go wrong with spicy onions.

The korma. Was nice and creamy, but had a slightly odd smell from it. Thought it was just me as they claim they make their own suace. Anyway, twenty minutes after eating most of the korma, I was over the toilet throwing up.
My partner and myself went around to the place afterwards and informed him of what had happened. he then brough out the chicken to show me it was fresh. It didnt look too fresh. But looked like it had been sittng out the fridge for a while.
I didnt want to cause a scene, but just said to the guy, be careful where you keep your meat. Might just be a one off, but i wont be back.

Cambuslang institution this place, used to be good.
It always busy with the same faces eating there all the time. The staff are quite quick at serving. Lunchtime take out can be busy too.
However, i ordered a salad platter from them, and it came with out the promised boiled egg and was packed out with sliced lettuce. I queried it, and was told “we don’t stock eggs” this is the same place id ordered it from who has just served three plates of scrambled egg and toast to customers. Bizarre.
So basically you can take stuff out and charge the same.
Anyway, I think McCallums is struggling because of the other places that have opened up around it. A good paint job and a wee bit of modernisation wouldnt do it much harm.
To sum up, I think its pricey for what you get.

Not a bad place to go for a drink, wee bit overpriced but worth it. the DJ at the weekend is good and will play most requests with a polite nod after you ask him.

The restaraunt is good value and the food is nice but not spectacular.

I have been to a few gigs here over the years and have never heard one band get a decent sound in it.

The building itself is designed to squeeze as many people in and get as much cash out them while they are there. Thats my opinion anyway. But bands will play here as it hold a lot of people and they can maximise their audience. If they had spent a little care on the sound in the place, it would be an enjoyable place to go.

If you want to buy any food/drink, don’t forget to go for a bank loan before you purchase it.

Has wonderful ice cream, but the guy who runs it is a miserable git.
Hates having kids in his shop, if you don’t want them in your shop, don’t sell confectionary then. Its not a cafe but a sweetie shop, i think it may have been in times past.
Anyway the ice cream is wonderful and if you can put up with the wee rude fat guy,then go for it.

Attended a private party, really freindly staff, not bad price for drinks, DJ was good, not bad place to go.
