A playful twist on tradition from Sole Club
Glasgow’s vibrant Finnieston district is about to experience an exciting new chapter in culinary innovation as Sole Club, the seafood-focused dining hotspot, reveals two brand-new dining concepts. After six months of creative exploration and community engagement, the team at Sole Club is ready to launch these offerings, promising to redefine the local dining scene.
Since its opening, Sole Club has garnered attention for pushing the boundaries of traditional dining. The announcement of two new menus marks a bold step forward. The restaurant’s playful ‘Behind the Fridge’ concept invites diners to step behind its exterior to discover an evolution of flavours, rooted in creativity and nostalgia. It’s a nod to Sole Club’s beginnings and its passion for blending time-honoured traditions with modern culinary artistry.
The two new menu experiences at the heart of this unveiling are The Chippie Club and The Club Classics. Each offering captures the essence of what makes Sole Club stand out: a fusion of community spirit, nostalgia, and bold, inventive cuisine.
At the forefront of this transformation is The Chippie Club, a playful homage to Sole Club’s origins, reinventing the iconic Six by Nico ‘Chippie’ Tasting Menu. Fans of Six by Nico will remember the original six course tasting menu, but Sole Club has reimagined it with a fresh perspective, bringing in a contemporary twist on the traditional chip shop experience.
With dishes such as chip on a stick and Smoky Sausage Supper, the menu is equal parts whimsical and nostalgic, giving familiar dishes a modern flair. This blend of comfort and creativity is sure to delight both new visitors and long-time fans of Sole Club. The Chippie Club experience captures the spirit of fun and innovation that has been part of Sole Club’s DNA since it first opened its doors in 2017.
For just £40, diners can embark on a six course journey that reinvents their favourite chippie dishes with flair and finesse. From classic fish and chips to unexpected delights, the Chippie Club promises an exciting adventure for the taste buds, bringing tradition to life in a new and thrilling way.
For those looking for something more flexible, The Club Classics menu offers a tantalising array of dishes for any occasion — whether it’s a quick lunch or a satisfying late-night bite. With fresh daily seafood catches and expertly prepared dishes like Kedgeree Scotch Egg and Whole Lemon Sole, this menu blends simplicity with elegance.
Seafood lovers will find plenty to enjoy, while the diverse selection ensures that there’s something for everyone. The Club Classics is perfect for those seeking a no-fuss, high-quality meal that delivers both comfort and flavour. With main dishes starting from just £7, it’s an accessible option for any time of day, ensuring that quality dining remains within reach for all.
Fans of Sole Club’s weekend offerings will be pleased to know that their beloved Sunday Lobster Roast remains a fixture on the menu. This innovative take on the classic Sunday roast, with its unforgettable lobster twist, has become a favourite among regulars. Priced at £33 for two courses, the Lobster Roast promises to turn an ordinary weekend meal into something extraordinary.
Founder Nico Simeone expressed his excitement over the restaurant’s latest evolution: “When we first launched Sole Club, we knew we wanted to test and experiment with new menus, concepts, and dishes, especially as a seafood-focused restaurant was a new venture for us. After six months of creative exploration, we are excited to unveil two new dining experiences — an evolution shaped by the feedback of our guests and the innovation of our talented chefs.”
He continued: “The Chippie Club experience represents a new wave for the original Six by Nico menu theme, with playful twists and bold flavours that truly capture what Sole Club is all about — delivering a fully immersive dining experience. I can’t wait for our customers to experience our new bold menu options.”
With the launch of these exciting new concepts, Sole Club continues to push the boundaries of food innovation while maintaining a deep connection to its roots. Whether it’s through the playful, reimagined dishes of The Chippie Club or the timeless elegance of The Club Classics, Sole Club offers something for every palate.
