Cova — Restaurant in Scotland

Me and the wife traveled through from the east of Scotland and thought we would give the Cova a try for breakfast 🤔 first expressions look’s the part staff first class 👌 after being seated we had a look 👀 at the menu’ I went for the full Scottish breakfast 🤗 the good lady went for a roll on sausage 🤔on a personal level the big disappointment was if you’re advertising full Scottish breakfast I would expect a wee bit of haggis on my plate 🤷‍♂️ plus the square sausage 😔 it was the cheaper thin beef square sausage that was the only disappointment for the price 🤔 maybe if the Cova got something going with a local butcher ie proper thick steak square sausage and a good quality haggis we would give them a 10 out of 10 review ‘ on my plate 1 slice of bacon’ 1 black pudding’ 1 tattie scone ‘ 1 slice of fried bread ‘ choice of fried or poached egg 5 small mushrooms beans on plate and a hash brown + a chose of brown or white toast + a hot or cold drink £8.50 for full Scottish my point or review is add some decent steak square sausage and a wee bit of haggis 👌 or can someone explain the difference between a full Scottish and a full English 👍 in our opinion we would give the Cova a 8/10 not far away from being decent apart from the smaller...

I went to Cova for lunch today with my son (not a first, definitely a last) I was told there were no seats available even though the middle two tables were empty. The couple behind us were told the same. After a while they left rather than wait any longer. I asked the girl who was seating people what the issue was with the middle two tables. I was told that they were kept incase parties of more than two turned up. While she was telling me this another two people who had arrived after us also left rather than wait, so while I was waiting to be seated you lost 4 customers "just in case customers turned up" (fantastic business model) While the waitress was writing down your number a booth for 2 became available, we decided not to take it. Now 6 customers lost, incase 4 had turned up. We were there for lunch, who's to say a party of 4 turning up wouldn't be there for a coffee and would spend less than we would. East Kilbride is not a huge place, not every day is a busy Sunday, I'll certainly share my experience with others so effectively reputational damage for Cova. A word of advice, the old adage a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush covers this situation. As does the old saying "the customer is...

Went in for lunch & saw they did a 2 course deal which just under £8/head, which seemed very reasonable. Young waitress came over & took the order pretty quickly & received drinks. First course (Pate) arrived a little later than I though but didn't really worry me, when that was cleared I expected my main fairly soon after, I think after I watched a couple of other tables arrive, order, eat & leave I knew something was wrong. Had to go to the counter to remind them I still had a main to receive. When it did arrive, it was lovely but by then I wasn't really in the mood for it so left most, paid my bill & left. Overall, the food was very tasty but the service spoiled...
