Rowantree Cafe

I went for an ass chilling cycle on the iron steed a couple of weeks ago and then headed to Barshaw Park in Paisley for a homely cuppa and a scone which was the size of a planet. The Rowantree Café is situated within the parks grounds and is a great wee place. Its in the main home made grub, nae fancy looking cakes which cost you the earth just a selection of food that your mammy would make. I make scones myself and know the score about cost etc so i was well chuffed when i got a cuppa and a scone for £1.50 notes. Nae fancy tea that day but nae rubbish either, just a good cuppa. They make home made soup, i think it was lentil that day and i knew it would be good just by the quality of the other stuff on offer, but being a lentil muncher i was in nae mood for it. Although the grub is good and the toilets clean, quick check before i dined! what impressed me more than anything was the wifey who worked there. She could have been the owner?, i dont really know but what i do know is that she excelled in her job. Not just the clean tables etc but she had the ability to make you feel welcome and for me that goes a long way. Apart from a wee regular cuppa their was an array of other teas on offer plus the usual selection of juices etc. and of course a cup of the brown bean elixir that we all so enjoy of a morning, afternoon, okay anytime. The café has been in the park for seven or so years and the wifey is still smiling! so its well tried and tested., i also think its open seven days a week? must go back and check, oh for the love of dodgy hormones and subsequent memory like a sieve. Take your mammy, granny, aunt uncle, weans and any other relative you are talking too and settle in for a cuppa or two.
