A Local Pub with Character
Tucked away on Broadloan in Renfrew, The Flying Scotsman is a classic Scottish pub that feels like a proper local. It’s part of a well-known pub chain but retains a distinct community feel, with regulars, seasonal events, and a menu built around straightforward pub classics. The interior is a mix of traditional pub elements – wooden furnishings, exposed brick, and a long bar – combined with modern touches that keep the space bright and welcoming. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick pint or settling in for a full meal, the atmosphere is easygoing and unpretentious.Food, Drink and Entertainment
The pub serves a wide-ranging menu of pub favourites, from fish and chips and burgers to Sunday roasts and vegetarian options, all designed to pair well with a pint of local ale or a dram of whisky. Behind the bar, you’ll find a selection of cask ales, lagers, spirits, and soft drinks, with regular promotions and seasonal specials. The Flying Scotsman also hosts live music nights, karaoke, and pub quizzes, making it a lively spot on weekends. A beer garden at the rear offers outdoor seating when the weather allows, adding to its appeal as a place to linger with friends.Community and Events
Beyond its role as a drinking and dining venue, The Flying Scotsman functions as a community hub. It’s used for private functions, parties, and gatherings, and its quiz nights and live music draw in a broad cross-section of locals. The pub’s layout – with a main bar area, separate dining space, and function room – allows it to cater to different groups at once, from families at lunchtime to groups celebrating special occasions. Staff are typically friendly and attentive, contributing to the pub’s reputation as a welcoming, no-frills place to spend an evening.Practical Details
The pub is easily accessible from central Renfrew and has space for casual drop-ins as well as longer stays. It’s well suited to casual meetups, post-work drinks, or a relaxed weekend meal. While it doesn’t have the polished finish of a high-end restaurant, its strength lies in its consistency, value, and genuine pub atmosphere. Opening hours are generous, with the kitchen serving lunch and dinner daily, and the bar staying open late on weekends, making it a flexible option for different kinds of visits.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
