We have just had my
parents down staying with us for one night before they jetted off to AndalucĂa
for two weeks, the lucky sods (lucky being the holiday bit, not their night on
the blow up bed). Since it was a Sunday and a few of us were suffering from
wedding related and all nighter related hangovers we thought some homely,
tasty, will squash the one too many gin feeling by the sheer weight of the
carbs meal, was just what we needed. The other stipulation was it had to be
close by.
So with this in mind we
trotted around the corner to Mulberry, with two bushes of the same name
helpfully stationed outside to welcome you in it always looks really inviting
with twinkle lights hanging all year around. Situated on the Southside’s Pollokshaws Road ,
Mulberry is one half pub and one half bistro and has a big menu with some old
classics and international inspired dishes.
We settled into a roomy
wooden booth which Mark apparently took as a direct indication that they would
do a good burger, and that they did. We
had;
Mark: water (ahem) Homemade beef burger with chilli and cheese and hand cut
chips
Mum: large Malbec (they
were in holiday mode) Mulberry St. fishcakes served with salad & dip
Dad:
large Malbec ( see above) macaroni cheese and hand cut chips
Kirsty: water (also see
above) Breaded
chicken burger served with mayo, coleslaw & Cajun fries
Me: gin and tonic (no
judging) Stornaway black pudding & chorizo salad with walnuts and chopped
celery
In two Doric words: fit
fine. Everyone really enjoyed it and was stuffed full by the time the last
cheesy macaroni morsel was nabbed of my dads plate.
What I like about Mulberry
is the atmosphere which is really warm and relaxed and I think the style of the
food reflects that with big portions and lots of familiar favourites, however
elements like adding a Cajun spice to the fries, serving a bouillabaisse and
tagine mean there is something for the more exotic tastes. The meal costs are extremely reasonable
averaging about £10, which for the amount of food you are served is great
value.
I have to give snaps to the
pub side of the set up which has guest ales from brewery’s like Fyne Ales and a
great whisky and wine selection or a Lauren Perrier if you’re feeling funcy.
