Wallace Well Farm - Robroyston, Glasgow

Last Saturday, we went to Wallace Well Farm (http://www.farmhouseinns.co.uk/pubs/wallace-well-farm) for lunch.  This must be a fairly new restaurant. We did not know this place exists until Emily told us.  She was raving about their cakes. I was checking their menu already and salivating with a thought of their yummy cakes before we even left the house whilst everyone else was wondering where it is or how to get there. It turned out that it is really near ASDA in Robroyston.

We thought that this place would be another one of those brewers' chain restaurants that serves microwave meals without any soul or characters, so to be honest we did not have much high expectations. But the menu seems to have good selections and varieties.  It does look promising....

When we got there, it was not much busy and there were plenty of tables available.  You just take your seats wherever you wish, decide what you want to eat and drink and go up to the counter to order and pay. If you buy drinks, you carry them with you back to your table yourself.  ... sounds familiar...

My husband and I ordered Beer-Batterd Cod with chips and peas.  We were both impressed with the quality of the fish, how both the fish and chips were fried to perfection.  The portion size was perfect too.  You could also order Large Beer-Battered Cod if you wish. We ordered standard size and that was enough for us.



Maria ordered Chicken and Chorizo Pasta which was Rigatoni pasta and strips of chicken in a pesto cream sauce with chorizo and sun-drenched cherry tomatoes, served with garlic ciabatta and topped with Italian-style cheese shavings and fresh rocker. Phew! Mouthful.
She said it was tasty and I think she enjoyed it.

The main event was however my mother-in-law Mary's plate of Carvery. She opted for small plate which is only £4.95.  When she went up to the Carvery section, they had big roasted chicken, ham and beef selections, and beyond that were 'vast' selections of accompanying vegetables that you could pick, choose and pile them up high!  Everything looked really freshly made and delicious.  I don't eat meat but they all looked really appetising!

The chef at the Carvery station carved up some slices of chicken and ham for Mary. She then proceeded to add big and yummy looking Yorkshire pudding, some roasted potatoes, boiled potato, mashed potato, green beans, cauliflower cheese with gravy over it.  It looked really delicious. Mary particularly loved the ham.



Before we left, we said we would have some cakes. That was the reason why we avoided the starters. After having these, we were already too full and could not eat any more desserts. Pity, as the menu looked really good...

We just need to go back there again to try cakes.  Maria definitely wants to try the Carvery next time and Mary wants to go back with her friend Margaret.  Since we did not manage to eat desserts, I got at least photographs...

These are their special home made cakes which you can also 'Cake-Away' to enjoy at home.

They also have varieties of flavours for ice cream..... this reminds me of gelateria in Italy. What's that blue one ..... it is bubblegum flavour ice cream! Honeycomb looks good but my favourite would be rum and raisins! Mmmmmmm.

Emily sent me some pictures of cakes she had when she went to Wallace Well Farm with Craig's mum and dad.

This one is Malteser cake... which was almost the size of a whole plate!

This one is sundae. Emily said it was really yummy.

This one is chocolate volcano which is ice cream and meringue topped with cream.

Wow ... sheer heart attack but we must try their dessert one day but not in too distant future!

That's all forks!
