Calderwood Inn

Nestled in the heart of Maxwelton, East Kilbride, The Calderwood Inn is a vibrant community pub with a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of character.

We’re excited to embark on a journey to enhance the pub’s appeal, starting with eye-catching improvements to the exterior—think brighter signage, inviting lighting, and fresh decoration—alongside thoughtful updates inside. While the pub currently thrives as a drinks-led venue, there’s a fantastic opportunity to introduce a simple, handheld food menu that would complement the lively bar scene. Upstairs, a spacious lounge and function room awaits, ready to host everything from intimate gatherings to birthday celebrations and respectful funeral receptions. With the right operators at the helm, we believe the pub can reach new heights, building on its strong trading history and welcoming even more guests from the local community. We’re searching for a self-motivated couple with a background in hospitality or retail, who can nurture the loyal customers while inspiring a broader audience to discover all that The Calderwood Inn has to offer. By adding a limited food selection and making the most of the function room several days a week, you’ll become the heart of Maxwelton—creating memorable experiences and bringing people together.
