Purchased a TGTG bag which contained 3 pies, 2 sausage rolls and a cheese and onion roll. The sausage rolls are awesome.

Busy wee shop.6 staff serving so you don't have to wait too long. I got the big breakfast and was surprised to see that there was no square sausage , especially as it cost 6 quid. Other than that happ customer and will definitely be back.

My go-to for a cheeky breakfast roll. They stock good pies too (from a butchers over in Stenhouse I think, forget the name) and your standard sandwich fillers, plus other hot food. Nothing fancy; but it doesn't need to be when it's this tasty, served by lovely staff, and such a reasonable price.

Great for a quick snack on the way to work. They do a mean bacon roll. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.
