A West End institution has introduced a new menu for spring ahead of an exciting six-week refurbishment.

The Ubiquitous Chip is widely regarded as a cornerstone of Ashton Lane with an impressive list of past celebrity diners ranging from Michael Keaton to Keira Knightley as well as plenty of local regulars.

Glasgow Times:

The Brasserie area of the beloved bar and restaurant is now set for a rebrand and will usher in the changing of the seasons with a menu that continues to showcase the very best of Scottish produce alongside a carefully curated wine list.

From this month, the first floor of the venue will be referred to as Upstairs at The Chip and will offer diners a casual dining experience and 'accessibly priced' lunchtime menu featuring pub classics as well as vegan and vegetarian dishes.

Head chef Doug Lindsay said: “Spring is an ideal time to launch our new menu for upstairs. We have taken things back to basics, really focussing on what people love about The Chip.

“We are driving greater interconnectivity between our two kitchens and the ingredients we use, and this can be enjoyed across a range of new dishes.

"Hopefully our customers enjoy the menu as much as we have loved creating it.”

Glasgow Times:

The changes for The Chip are part of an ongoing evolution which will see the spot shut its doors for six weeks in July to allow for a 'sympathetic' refurbishment.

Michael Horan, managing director of Metropolitan Pub Company said: “The Chip is an institution, and as its custodians, we are committed, and indeed proud, to be ensuring its legacy continues.

"Memorable food and drink experiences, along with an incomparable atmosphere, have always been at the heart of The Chip’s appeal and we aim to strengthen this experience across upstairs as part of this rebrand."
