Kettle-home Lockerbie

This was a lovely find. The entrance was a bit disconcerting. We thought the sign for the parking directed us behind the building, but there is only parking at the front. And when we walked in what we thought was the front door I thought we had turned up on the wrong day as we were faced with an empty function hall. We followed a gentleman who had walked in behind us to find you had to go through the hall (or as we soon realised enter through the back of the building) to get to the cafe. So if you go and end up in a hall... keep going... the food is worth it. I had the tastiest chicken pesto salad ciabatta roll in a long time. Often they can be a bit bland with not enough pesto or seasoning. This was a cut above with a nicely dressed side salad. My other half raved about his maple bacon BLT saying finally a cafe that cooked nice bacon really well. Menu was simple sandwiches, toasties and rolls type of thing, perfect for lunch, but while the menu may have been simple what we had was delicious. The selection of cakes was varied. We didn't get to try any this time around but the choice sounded appealing. (White chocolate and raspberry cheesecake, salted caramel brownies, to mention just a couple) And it was very reasonably priced for very good quality. Coffee was very good quality too, bit on the strong side for me personally, but next time we go back I will simply ask for a single shot latte... and one of those lovely looking cakes.
