Reviews
Awesome lunch and nice coffee. Lovely staff, busy and great steakpie chips and lasagna to take out. Cold drinks welcome on a sunny day. Had breakfast rolls before scrambled egg nice
Read on Google MapsAfter a long drive from Cardiff for a conference I was really struggling to get through the day… I walked into panni’s… and it fixed my soul. Lovely steak pie and chips! Fantastic people working there full of smiles. They also do a huge range of mostly Italian style pannis ,baguettes etc . All looked amazing. I’ll be back in there before I leave Glasgow for sure
Read on Google MapsWe had such a good experience here that if we lived closer we would be regular customers without a doubt :) the food was delicious, the staff were friendly and the price was excellent value for money.
Read on Google MapsBest steak pie I have EVER had. Staff (family) most welcoming. Well worth the journey.
