"Stopped here at the end of walking the west highland way . Had the pork and apple and stuffing warm bun . Tasted delicious. Finished off with a fully loaded hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows . Been craving for days and it hit the spot . Staff were friendly and great atmosphere"

"Small cafe serving limited menu. Most popular being the roast meat sandwiches. Food was simple but good and reasonably priced. Limited seating. Was very busy during lunch with the roast pork sold out by 1pm."
Mihwa Lee
"This place is a little treasure. Unfortunately, they were sold out of pork, but the choice to go with turkey and stuffing batch instead did not disappoint. No dry turkey here. It was juicy, tasted amazing, and there was lots of it. The service was friendly and not overbearing. Shame I live in England, I'd be there every day."
