Carrigan's East Kilbride

Ah, Carrigan's East Kilbride – it's one of those places that just hits the spot for a good night out or a relaxed meal with friends. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the food is a real standout; folks are raving about the fresh, hearty dishes like the Tex Mex Chicken and steak pie that are cooked to perfection and come in massive portions, making it feel like proper value for a moderate price. The staff are an absolute delight too, always friendly and attentive, which really adds to that homely, family-friendly atmosphere – perfect if you're heading out with the kids or just for a casual catch-up. It's been around since 1979 and still going strong, which says a lot about its appeal. On the flip side, though, the car park situation can be a bit of a nuisance; it's not big enough for the crowds, and there are tales of disabled spots being misused, which just adds unnecessary frustration when you're trying to get in for a pint or a bite. Overall, it's a solid choice for us pub goers looking for quality grub and a good time, as long as you plan ahead for parking – I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the East Kilbride area.
