A spirited slice of Scotland in Islington serving elusive morning rolls and hearty pies in an industrial deli setting that morphs into a lively bar by night.
Ordering Strategy
Timing is everything: arrive before 10am for a Morning Roll (they sell out fast), or come in the evening for pies, tacos, and pints of Tennent's.
What to order
Glasgow Morning Roll
These house-baked rolls are 'basically a Nessie-level myth' unless you arrive before 10am. They are a comforting, industrial-sized staple filled with square sausage and tattie scones.
Macaroni Pie
A 'pacifying' delight featuring a sturdy, finely-wrought pastry shell filled with macaroni cheese that is 'fired on the top to an intense crisp.'
Scottish Tacos
Described as 'gonzo glory,' these consist of two Archbold’s potato scones heaped with 'punchy veggie haggis' and 'blobs of hot sauce' for a result of 'irrepressible deliciousness.'
Brown Butter Cookies
These 'righteous' treats are a sleeper hit, described by the Evening Standard as being like 'creatine-chugging Hobnobs.'

Good to know
It functions as a deli/cafe by day and a bar by night. Seating is casual with some counter spots. The morning rolls are notoriously hard to get if you sleep in.
