    Default Customer Service 100%

    We were in Wick today .... went there via Watten and home via Castletown. Our usual watering hole is Rivendell, but it is closed on a Thursday. We were just lamenting that fact when we saw Glyn`s car outside the cafe and the door opened, so popped in. Glyn was just there to take in some deliveries and do some woodwork, but made us a lovely lunch which was much appreciated.....not only that.........we were not his first customers of the day.

    So on a Thursday if you are passing Rivendell and the chain is down, you might be in for a special treat. Thursday could be Glyn`s new busiest day.

    Also threats...or is that a promise (?) of Sunday lunches in the very near future.

    Can`t wait.

    This cafe is where the filling station used to be at "Lochshell". It is roughly about 3/4 mile out of Wick on the John O' Groats road; past Tesco's. It is on the left hand side.

    Totally agree,,, Here is what I put on earlier
    The Rumblin Tum

    had a nice cup of coffee and a fish an chips in this cafe and it was lovely, its on your way out of Wick on the Castletown road after you pass Tesco's. It also has a market shop where I got a lovely Turnip and there are some flowers at it to. Well worth a try when passing I noticed they also do carry outs
    the only day they are NOT open is a Thursday but open the rest from 9am to 7pm
    however he did say that no-one would be turned away even if it was Thursday

    Maybe one Thursday we could have a vast turn out of orgers!

    Every time we have been there we have met passing tourists, but know a lot of orgers use the cafe too. Hope we can keep Glyn`s trade up during the winter months.

    Lovely meal choices and almost as cheap as Tesco meal deals in the cafe, but far better quality and superior banter!

    There will be the normal fresh cream sponges, then a gateaux -(I think) plus a homemade gooseberry pie/crumble with cream.

    You absolutely excelled yourself Glyn.

    Everything was spot on.

    Delighted you have decided to have a Sunday lunch special every week.

    I have thankfully recovered from the palpitations brought on by the gateau.......which had brandy in it.......yummy end to perfect roast beef dinner.

    See you again very soon.
