Gael & Grain offers a private events room for 30 seated or up to 40 guests in a more casual setup, and exclusive use of the whole venue on request. The Scottish pub and kitchen is at 23 Sandyford Place in Glasgow's West End. It suits business dinners, team celebrations, day meetings and private parties.
Seminars and company events
The private room is called A' Chuilidh, a Gaelic name meaning the secret hiding place. The site presents it for business functions, meetings, presentations and intimate gatherings, and describes a corporate package for day delegates in a secluded space. Equipment and delegate numbers for that package are not listed, so organisers should ask for the details when they send a request.
The venue was named by SquareMeal among the UK's best corporate party venues in 2026, as the pub itself reports. It is part of the Lomond Leisure Group. Corporate groups can choose between the private room and exclusive hire of the full venue, and the events brochure on the site outlines bespoke menus and entertainment options.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are not listed. The site describes the room for special celebrations, birthday parties and family reunions, so a small reception or a private dinner is the format to plan around.
Rooms and capacities
A' Chuilidh seats 30 and can take up to 40 guests in a casual arrangement. It has an exclusive bar, so the group does not share service with the public room. The layout can be changed for a seated dinner, a standing reception or a mix of both. The site describes the atmosphere as cosy and intimate, with dedicated staff for the event.
The venue also runs a comedy club lounge with regular stand-up nights from Good Egg Comedy, and a program of quiz nights, live music, whisky and food pairings and seasonal dinners. These are public events, but they show the room and bar in use. The full venue can be taken exclusively; the capacity of that option is not stated on the pages read.
Catering
Food is Scottish, with menus built on local ingredients and a selection of local beers and whiskies. For large group or private dining bookings, a pre-order can be sent before the date and changed until 24 hours before. Gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options are available, and guests should flag dietary requirements in advance. A deposit is required to confirm a booking, provisional bookings are not held, and time slots are 2 hours for groups of eight or fewer and 2.5 hours for larger groups. A discretionary service charge is added to bookings.
Getting there
The address is 23 Sandyford Place, Glasgow G3 7NG, in the West End. The pub is open Wednesday to Sunday, with Monday and Tuesday varying, so private bookings on those days need to be agreed with the team directly.
