Mathers is a no fuss pub situated at the top of Broughton street. Numbers were a bit low this week as the massive train disruptions in the morning left many stranded in Glasgow and Fife. The four cyclists in the team manage to persevere and arrived at the pub hungry and thirsty!
They atmosphere of this pub has real ale written all over it and a perusal of the bar did not disappoint! They had a decent selection of local beers including the popular Williams Caesar Augustus, Deuchers and two from Stewart brewery including their seasonal Christmas beer. I chose a pint of Copper Cascade and headed over the comfortable booth like tables up the back.
The menu was dominated by burgers with a few pub classics thrown in including sausages and mash and fish and chips. I decided to go with the Mathers 25 beef burger which came with peppers, hot sauce and sour cream and skinny chips.
The burger looked quite sizeable on arrival, big enough to pick up however a bit much to eat with your hands which is not a bad thing. They claim to hand make the burgers from Perthshire beef and the patty had plenty of moisture and flavour. Definitely better than what you would get from a chain pub however I have had better. The chips were ok, maybe a little bit thin for my liking. In all in was quite filling and good value for £8.45.
Mathers is not trying to do anything special, however manages to provide a relaxed environment to sink down a pint and eat a filling lunch.
