Happy new year to all our amazing customers and followers. Let’s make 2025 the best version of Bruce’s yet 🤩

We have had the best time off doing absolutely nothing except reading books and catching up on sleep 😴.

A re-charge that was very much needed!

I will be in the next couple of days doing maintenance and getting things stocked back up for re-opening on Wednesday.

We look forward to welcoming you all back with a renewed energy and some healthy specials to smash those January goals! 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️🚵🏼‍♀️🧗‍♂️🚣🏻‍♀️🏊‍♀️🥇🏆😉

Merry Christmas to all our wonderful customers and followers.

Thank you for all the support in 2024. Whether it be a visit to the cafe, liking our posts or telling your friends about us, every little helps in keeping our wee dream alive. We have a great regular customer base and we appreciate your support more than you will ever know. Some of you have become good friends.

My biggest achievements for 2024 were surviving all the price increases and VAT returns. But most of all getting awarded star baker 👩‍🍳 at the college last week. My cakes have come a long way the last 2 years and maybe one day I’ll have the confidence to sell them. Thanks to chef Tony at the college for all his help and guidance. Roll on March for the next course 🧑‍🍳

Our wee cafe has come on leaps and bounds. We welcomed Eilidh to the team at the beginning of the year. Spent a good chunk of the year without Demi while she was on Mat leave (we are buzzing for her return early next year). And we said goodbye to wee mama Hazel just recently. Sharron has been a great constant in the support she has given us to keep the place as fully staffed as possible all year. We can’t thank our small team enough for everything they did to keep things going and the customers for being patient with us.

Here’s to 2025. Hell knows what it has in store for us. We look forward to meeting more new people and creating new specials to keep you interested 😍

Our final fat Friday of 2024 is nearly upon us!

It’s been a great year of creating unique specials and bringing something different to your Friday lunches. So why not make the final one a belter 🤷🏻‍♀️

This Friday we bring you our fat Santa 🎅🏻 Xmas lunch.

For just £10 (cash only) you will get

🐓 beautiful roast chicken
🥔 buttery mash and crispy roasties
🐷 pigs in blankets
🐖 homemade stuffing
🥕 honey glazed carrots and parsnips
🪴 Brussels sprouts
🍞 homemade bread sauce
🍒 homemade cranberry sauce
⭐️ homemade Yorkshire pudding
🍽️ covered in a homemade gravy

Fat Santa’s will be limited and ONLY available to book from now until 2.30pm tomorrow (Thursday). Feel free to tag and share to get the word out.

Booking slots can be made by messaging the page or calling the cafe tomorrow during opening times.

We will answer Facebook messages tomorrow in order we receive them. We won’t be taking orders for these after 2.30pm tomorrow so if you’re not fast, you’re last unfortunately.

There’s a lot of prep to be done for this tomorrow evening so I need to be organised.

Normal menu running as always. A panini special to follow as well.

🧡🤍 Customer Notice 🤍🧡

A wee update for the next couple of months.

We have taken the decision to close on a Monday In January due to poor takings, not only across the month of January but in particular at the beginning of the week. Everyone is ‘on it’ with the January health kicks and skint from Xmas so Monday and Tuesday for us are particularly poor. Actually costs us to be open.

With the continuing rise of costs such as stock, staff, overheads etc, I really need to tighten the belt to ensure we can sustain our competitive prices. We hope you understand 🧡🤍🧡
