Quick info
About The Paddle Steamer
Seating along the window at The Paddle Steamer looks out over the water, and the ferry to Cumbrae is visible from the tables as it comes and goes. This pub on Gallowgate St in Largs runs as a walk-in operation, with no reservations needed, and opens daily. The menu runs to 139 dishes, and the Scottish Breakfast brings toast and marmalade alongside potato scones on the brunch offering. Lime cordial is poured in a generous measure. The setting follows the Wetherspoons format, which shapes the range and pricing of the food and drink on offer.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the main draw, with reviewers praising lovely toast and marmalade. Close behind are the view of ferries to Cumbrae coming and going and friendly staff with quick service on busy mornings. One reviewer found a staff member stuck on breakfast times rather than suggesting the traditional Scottish breakfast, which a fellow patron said was on the brunch menu. Another enjoyed a massive lime cordial.

“Extremely slow service, took over 40 mins for food to arrive, food was ok. Tables even after being “cleaned” were dirty and staff were slow at clearing tables so we had to sit with dirty dishes for a while. Even worse than the time it took food to arrive was that the server lifted a bowl of ramen over my baby and even stated how hot the ramen was. It was an accident waiting to happen. I won’t be back.”
