The Rolling Barrel — Restaurant in Scotland

Rude owner. Was there with my girlfriend and friend. Asked to the server, who was likely the owner, if we could split the bill in two. I said "I'm sorry mate I don't want to be one of those people" to which I was given the smarky response "Too late you are." Legit didn't know if this was meant as humour but the more I consider it - he was just lazy and didnt want to do the simplist of requests. Know its easier for a server to put through something in full - I've been there in other jobs... Still, pretty common and fair request and it was split two ways hardly asking to split it 10.

I don't live in Uddingston now, but make the trip down now and again cause the food is nice and have friends nearby. Saying that , I'll not be back after being spoken to like that...

Your response to feedback shows to me that your establishment is far from polite.

Firstly, rude service deserves a bad review. Your server did not say it with a smile or in a joke fashion, he said it with a condescending and quite bitter tone. I was clearly quite shocked and mentioned it to my friend within ear shot of the server who made no effort to clarify this was an attempt at humour.

Further more you could have served me the best meal of my life, if you talk to me like dirt and me feel horrible afterwards - your getting one star.

I did not, raise it in person as you advice, because the tone of your server was so rancid, it was quite clear if I did complain it would have escalated unnecessary. This would have clearly led to a situation that would not be best in a room full of old people and children eating dinner.

I'll "rush off" and leave you the low rating you deserve rather than hang around any further than is necessary.

Accept criticism from customers instead of arguing back - like I said, if I did complain in person it would not have been resolved, like it was not resolved here.

Legit all you needed to say is that you spoke to the waiter, it was meant in jest and apologise it was taken the wrong way. (Even though like I said it was not said in a "funny" manner). Instead you go on a tirade about how you don't deserve criticism.

Also did not leave a tip - service hardly...

This just has to be one of the worst bar/diners in the Glasgow area to find fault with. I reviewed the Rolling Barrel in 2018 & in between then & now there has been all sorts of pressures on the hospitality industry, but in my view, this place has risen above the problems that have presented themselves over the Covid era & still rolls onward as one off the best eating establishments in the area, mainly thanks to the quality of the food on offer from their wide choice of meals on the menu and the dedication of the waiting staff & the guys working behind the scenes in the kitchen. Thanks to the owner (Angelo) who has managed to retain much of his hard-working staff over this period, such as Fiona at front of house & Maggie in the kitchen. If, on occasion, you have to wait a bit longer than normal to be served your meal, then that will be due to the fact the restaurant is very busy with customers, which is testament to its popularity as a great...

It has been a while from the last time I was here but I can say for sure I will not be back any time soon. After waiting in a que for 20 minutes to order my food we had to wait almost 45 minutes for our starters, out of our mains one had to be sent back for a strange tasting potato and the other 2 mains were pretty poorly cooked. The whiskey sauce they serve was wildly sweet and the chicken seemed over cooked, the fish and chips I would rather cook from frozen than pay for that again. The meal we sent back we got refunded for. They also forgot about my little girls macaroni so that was an extra wait. Maybe they were having an off day but too many things were wrong for me to believe that. Very disappointed as we had been here over a year ago and it was a great little place seems to have went downhill...
