After an aborted trip to Greenbank gardens cos it was closed🥺 We adopted Plan B and high tailed it to Rouken Glen and the delightful Boathouse restaurant which was not open last time.The restaurant is a bright,airy,pleasant place with a welcoming atmosphere. Cakes, lemon Merigue pie, and Bananaand date loaf were so good they were hastily scoffed before i remembered that i'd forgotten to take pics of them😱 Special thanks to our lovely friendly, very attractive blonde waitress who greeted us with kind words and a smile. A nice change from frequent, dour, i am bored with this job, faces☹ She was so nice,I offered to take her on an all expenses paid Carribean Cruise( Dream On) Unfortunately, she thought I was kidding🙊😂 After a walk around the pond and Waterfall,this is a great place for Coffee repost and Blonde fantasies🤪 Welcome return today. Had a wonderful Pastrami Deli bag with melted cheese. Worthy of note during summer cafe is...
Read moreWe ordered a vegetarian breakfast and were not told that they didn’t have any vegetarian sausages (we were given a lame excuse for not having them). A Friend went here 1 week ago and had the full Veg option. All we got was tomatoes, mushrooms, vegetarian haggis, 2 triangular scones And small piece of sourdough bread (wife got 2 cold small pieces of white bread) the reconstituted scrambled egg was tasteless rubber.

They don’t do baked potatoes anymore. For vegetarians it’s terrible options. For meat eaters it’s expensive options. They get people coming As not much option...
Read moreHaving visited for the first time today, I cannot fault the service and surroundings. Impressed by the cleanliness which is usually the first thing I look at. As this was a client meeting, we only had drinks but as I only drink Earl Grey it's quite often hit or miss. One of the nicest Earl Greys I've had in a while. The service we received from Julie and Liesel was second to none. They went above and beyond. Julie was kind enough to seat us in a corner to offer maximum privacy for our meeting and took the time to chat before my client arrived. Cannot fault the staff and can't wait to go back again to try the food which all looked lovely from what I saw being served around me. Again, thank you for the warm welcome, and I'm so glad I now have a place to go which will allow me to support a small local business rather than large, impersonal franchises who write your name on a...
