For £12.50 we each received a ticket to the play-- "Volpone"-- a cheese pie (my wife) or a Scottish (haggis) pie (me), and a pint. She had a lager, I had a Guinness-- both were cold and good to our American tastes. Not a major deal for a lunch, but certainly plenty of food for the two of us. The... More

Takes place in a great old church converted into a playhouse. Grab a few pints and a shepherds pie to soak it up and enjoy the show.

Another visit to this unique lunchtime venue and another great laugh in a play which gave everyone a big surprise (DALGETY) The ubiquitous pie and gravy, or quiche, with beer or wine and a great atmosphere . If any travellers are in this fair city I recommend A pie, a pint and a play in The Oran Mhor at lunchtime... More

I saw Bill Paterson in a play, had a pint and slice of quiche (semi-pie) while sitting in Oran Mor's wonderful theatre space. What a treat - all during lunch break! Go Glasgow!

This west end venue boasts a host of plays which have become modern classics The cast includes many of the most respected actots who embrace new writers. The venue has a regular following in this intimate theater. Worth a tenner and a lot more. One must see venue whether you are a visitor or resident.

I was amazed at how busy this got - we were lucky we'd booked tickets in advance. I'd recommend showing up early to get a good seat. You get a choice of drinks (beer, wine, soft) and a meat or veg pie. Not massive portions, but plenty for lunch. I really enjoyed the play too, it's a good opportunity to... More
