About This Pub

Ah, Jam Jar Paisley, what a gem it is! I've got to say, from what I've gathered, it's one of those places that just hits the spot for a casual get-together. The staff are an absolute delight; they're always on hand with a smile, making sure everything's just right, whether it's keeping your drinks topped up or adding a special touch like bringing out a candle for a birthday. The food? Well, it's spot on – fresh, hot, and those portions are massive, which is a nice change from the skimpy servings you get elsewhere. You've got this brilliant mix on the menu, from hearty Scottish haggis to zingy Tex-Mex fajitas and even some Cajun chicken for a bit of variety, plus plenty of choices for those watching their diet. And don't even get me started on the drinks; the cocktails and craft beers are just the thing to round off a meal. It's got that cosy, community feel too, with events that make it more than just a meal out. On the flip side, it does wrap up a tad early in the evenings, so if you're planning a proper night out, you might find yourself moving on sooner than you'd like. Plus, it's so well-loved that it can get a bit crowded, but honestly, that's a testament to how good it is – just pop in a booking to avoid any queues. All in all, it's a solid choice for a bite and a bevvy; I'd pop along if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed!

  • Portions are generous and the food is fresh, piping hot, and packed with flavour, offering great value for a moderate price.

Cons

Three of us visited today for the first time. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. The food arrived quickly after being ordered and was piping hot. First thing we noticed was the portion size was on the large side. Compared to others these days this was a nice change. The food was fresh and tasty. Despite being full we decided on dessert which was also really nice. I would recommend a visit to Jam Jar as the food is great and the staff are really friendly.

We were there today for my son's 18th birthday, food, cocktails and staff amazing as always. Huge portions at reasonable prices. They also brought a bit of cake with candles out after our lunch and sang happy birthday to my son which was lovely of them.
