Big Slope — Restaurant in Scotland

Lurking in the heart of Glasgow's West End, you'll find The Big Slope, a veritable Pandora's box of cross-continental culinary delights. As unpretentious as a backyard barbeque, yet as cosmopolitan as a gathering at the UN. Prices for food are very competitive, providing excellent value for money.

The star of the show? The Pork Belly Salad, a divine orchestration of crispy pork belly that dances a sultry tango with an ensemble of fresh greens and mango sauce. The combination is a culinary sonnet that could make Shakespeare swoon.

The Sunday Roast is not to be underestimated, either. It's a hearty, comfort-inducing offering that reminds you of your grannies kitchen. Then there's the Squid. Oh, the Squid! So tender, it's a paragon of succulence.

I know for a fact at least 3 other groups asked for the volume to be put up and by this time there was a good crowd and far, far more engagement with the rugby in this game that the Scotland one!! Still didn't turn up volume. Avoid if you're a genuine rugby fan who just wants to watch the 6 nations. Otherwise, nice enough atmosphere and...

He says, slightly off the beaten track, but Big Slope is a diamond in the rough. Went in for food, the one barman was excellent. Not only did he get our order at the table quickly, he moved us to a table next to the real fire since it was cosier there. Food was excellent, my special of the steak and mushroom pie was lovely.

She says, I wish I lived closer and could go here every day. Dog friendly pub (I don't have a dog but love to say hello to any locals!) Lovely decor, friendly service, cozy fire, amazing spicy Laksa to eat. All in all, a...
