WEST On The Corner

Munich’s Oktoberfest has been known to contradict the Teutonic reputation for literalness by starting in September, but then this annual celebration of beer is no time for petty rules.

Germans are at their most carefree with a beer in their hand, and it’s an attitude echoed by Glasgow’s finest purveyors of authentic German cuisine, beer and bonhomie at WEST.

Raise a glass to international harmony with today’s Big Deal on a hearty Oktoberfest platter and a beer for two at WEST On The Corner. And when you’re done, take the glass home with you as it’s yours to keep. Strictly legit.

Bavarian flavours

An offshoot of the original and much-loved WEST Brewery on Glasgow Green, WEST On The Corner brings a stylish taste of Bavaria to Woodlands Road.

The bar is light and airy with stripped walls, pale wood and stylish furniture but in the evenings it has that inviting, warm glow that the Germans call gemütlichkeit. Don’t even try to translate it.

The locally brewed German-style lagers and wheat beers on tap help with the ambiance, as do the generous Oktoberfest platters.

Available throughout October, the Big Deal is for two people to have an Oktoberfest platter to share and a pint of WEST beer. This deal also includes a WEST branded pint glass for each diner to take away.

The offer is available on Sundays from 6pm to 8.45pm, Monday to Thursday, noon to 8.45pm and Fridays noon to 5pm.

Appetising menu

The special Oktoberfest platters feature a variety of authentic German culinary delights, with beers selected to complement the flavours.

The Fish platter features hot smoked salmon, crab & prawn cocktail, mackerel pate, served with lemon mayonnaise, pickles and a selection of artisan breads. WEST Hefeweizen wheat beer is the recommended accompaniment.

The Cold Meat platter features Parma Ham, Milano Salami, potted chicken liver pate, ham hough terrine, served with chutney, pickles and a selection of breads. Delicious alongside WEST St. Mungo lager.

The Hot Meat selection showcases smoked pork belly, Bratwurst sausage, Bockwurst sausage, Bavarian smokie sausage served with St. Mungo Braised Cabbage and a selection of mustards and pickles. WEST Munich Red lager stands up to the big flavours of this platter.

The German platter offers Gouda cheese, cured ham, salami, smoked salmon, Obatzda cheese, pear, dried fruits, and nuts. Served with Rye Bread and Oat Cakes. Try it with seasonal WEST Oktoberfest beer.

Vegetarians can opt for the Cheese platter, featuring Golden Cross goats cheese, smoked Arran Cheddar, Cashel Blue, and Gouda accompanied by breads, oatcakes, fruit, and chutney, fantastic with WEST Black stout
