N and I came here for dinner one sunny day when looking for a place we could sit outside. In the end it was a bit chilly but we enjoyed some drinks outside while waiting for a table and the venue is ideal for a nice day in Glasgow, right next to a big pitch with plenty of picnic tables to sit at. We liked the sound of the menu and I had trouble deciding what to have but ended up going for stovies as I just love stovies and hadn't had them for ages! (Even though they aren't very summery!) I had the smoked haddock risotto to start and it was delicious! The perfect portion size and very tasty. Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed with my stovies. I know stovies can be made many different ways and there are some arguments about the best/proper way but whether it's beef/lamb, has sausage in or not, I always thought it was called Stovies because it was made on the stove in a big pot, meat and potatoes thrown in or layered, maybe with onions and gravy or stock. Anyway, what I got was not at all what I expected - more like mince & tatties. Chunks of boiled new potatoes with minced meat, bits of sausage and the odd little bit of 'proper' meat and a poached egg. I tried mashing up the potatoes into it but I really didn't enjoy it, the flavour wasn't great. The egg was the best bit. Nik had smoked salmon (which he enjoyed but didn't feel it went with the sweet chilli sauce it was served with?!) and fish & chips which he liked. Service was efficient and friendly and the prices were OK but I would never order stovies here again. read more
