Roastit Bubbly Jocks

Sometimes if feels like we know nothing about anything in this new land that we have come to. That is especially true when it comes to cafes and restaurants. To start with they are often hidden behind unassuming doors and shop fronts, tucked away where you have to pop your head around the door to take a look. It's too cold to sit outdoors in Glasgow and there's not much space so very few places have outdoor seating to identify them.
Anyway.... we happened to walk past Roastit Bubbly Jocks around 3pm on Sunday after walking around car yards for hours and having nothing to eat.  Something caught our eye, this little place had an inviting look about it. Best decision we made all day!
We just needed a tasty morsel to get us through to dinner (we were going out with friends and family) so we ordered a starter each. I had a twice baked goat's cheese souffle which was divine. Light and fluffy with enough substance to satisfy me. The big man had a plate of smoked salmon with bread and was very happy with his choice.  But, the thing that caught my attention, apart from the fabulous roasts served up at the next table, was the gin menu on the wall.  I'm partial to a gin, especially on a hot summer's day and apparently the weather we had been experiencing in Glasgow is equivalent to a hot day in Glaswegian terms; there have been women walking around in strappy tops while I wear my down jacket zipped up to my chin!   Anyway, back to the gin. We decided it was Gin Oclock somewhere in the world and that we would have a wee drop with our starters.  I had a Millers with strawberries and he had Caorrans with apple slices. Oh yes! We had made great choices.  That little gin added some rays of sunshine to our day and we happily celebrated our afternoon nibbles.
Roastit Bubbly Jocks will see us again.  Next time I shall reserve space for the Roast Beef.  The atmosphere is congenial, the furniture is well used, the service was excellent and the staff had a great sense of humour.  We loved it, we'll be back.
