Auld Bakehouse — Restaurant in Scotland

It started off so well. I spend a fair amount of time in Brechin and was delighted to find The Auld Bakehouse. I went for lunch last Monday and had the lentil soup and a cappuccino.

Staff member wasn’t professional at all very rude. The food was okay. Not amazing but not bad. Coffee was not the best but drinkable. I don’t know if it’s a bad place or if I just went when others were having a bad day. First time there the other staff members seemed nice. I’d say the foods a little bit overpriced for what you get.
