WELCOME TO THE LASS O'GOWRIE

A Warm Welcome Awaits

| B | B | B | L | Y | B | ♥️

When you ask your husband what he wants to do for his 50th birthday and he says he wants to be in the middle of nowhere, just the two of you. Initially it might sound a bit serial killer, but no. Turns out he wants to sit and look at the sea, spot cormorants and eat cheese. So here we are 🤷🏻‍♀️

We've got the cheese and beers, Molly has whipped up a WHOLE gingerbread and enough cookies to start our own branch down here 👍🏻 and the view and sealife is taking care of itself x so please also take good care of our team while we take a couple of days out to cool down by the shore and recharge for the next season of The Lass.

The team are ready and raring after surviving the recent heatwave and we hear there is no shortage of amazing stuff to eat. Oh and the soups are back ON 🙌🏻

We have a silent bet that this birthday post will actually get more likes than anything we've posted before so go to town people. Make Bob's Big Birthday the stuff of legends because that's exactly what he is to us ❤️

Love You Bob

Clever Lassies 😍

We don't have just anyone on our team here at @lassgowrie you know. Anyone who says hospitality is a dead end job hasn't encountered our lot. Oh nothing to see here, just a first class honours and a Masters 💅🏻 casually knocking it out the park girls 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Super congratulations Amber and Charlotte for being amazing, we KNEW you were amazing and now big brain people agree 🫶🏻 There's always a spot at the Conti for you if you ever pop in 🤣

Have a fabulous summer and if the rumours are true, you'll both be back studying in the autumn. We are so proud of you and sending you lots of love ♥️

Raspberry Peach Melba Tres Leches is on today. Ice cold. 🥵 If you can buy everything by, say, 1pm then we can close early and head for the shade ok ta ☺️ byeeeee 👋🏻👋🏻

No but seriously. . . . . . .what in the melted welly is this heat all about, eh? We’re still here, hanging in there, but folks the soup is AFF this weekend 👍 we always pride ourselves on having three soups every single day but do you ken how much heat kicks off from three soups kettles 😱 for the sake of the staff, it’s a wee gesture so they don’t sue 🫣🫠 but don’t hate us, they’ll be back on Monday once Mother Nature’s rage has subsided 🥵

Predicted sales this weekend:
#1 baked tatties (you weirdos)
#2 tea (not even joking)
#3 iced lattes
#4 toasties (also not joking)

We are rammed with cake so come and take it please. We also have Livvi's Little Lunchbox Dunkeld GF pies and sausage rolls available in the retail fridge but you’ll need to just squeeze past a staff member in there while we take a wee shot just chilling oot 👌

What’s everyone up to this weekend? Apart from drinking our tea and eating a baked tattie obvs 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

We are so proud of Annie today as she attended a special reception with her sister Molly at Holyrood for achieving the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award 👏🏻👏🏻

Annie worked with us from day one when we opened in 2022 and came back again recently when we were in a pinch to help out in the kitchen. She has recently achieved a diploma in Dog Grooming and has now set up her own business @aineandco25 so it's a really exciting time for her 😍 Not to mention she got to meet one of her favourite artists today @nathanevanss.ig as well as the legend that is James Cosmo! What a great way to end a fantastic week ♥️👌🏻

Congratulations Annie 👍🏻

Made over on the west coast of Scotland, these flavour combos are on point 😘👌🏻 You can't beat a rhubarb cream soda 🤤 or a ginger beer when you need that old school hit 👍🏻

She's dead pretty isn't she 🥰 Victoria Hall was constructed late 19th century and is now category C listed.

The Lass O'Gowrie is just her latest incarnation. She's been many things before and we are often asked by customers about her past lives.

We'd like to capture some of these memories to create a permanent record of her life, so if you have any old photographs, stories, newspaper articles or happy memories please get in touch to let us know. We've heard she's been a cinema, a scout hall, a church hall but hearing first hand from those who have been here would be really exciting.

We look forward to hearing from her fans ♥️

Beautifully light vanilla sponge drenched in @mainsapiaries honey and topped with the freshest @arbuckle_farm_shop raspberries #stillnoraspberryemoji

The perfect way to start the summer holidays 🌞

June Meal Night 🫶🏻 You were amazing.

Thank you to everyone who came out to see us last night. A 6am start with a midnight finish means the wee tootsies are singing songs of heartbreak and betrayal this morning but we'll be back from 9am for the first weekend of the school hols 🤸🏻‍♀️💃🏻

Your support means everything and we are always extremely grateful ♥️

Morning folks,

It's Errol Gala Day on Saturday 21st June and The Lass O'Gowrie is sponsoring and running the Tea Tent. It's a great community event and the tea tent has been particularly well supported in previous years raising hundreds of pounds for the Errol Village Hall fund. Please consider baking something small for us - it doesn't need to be fancy and doesn't need to be expensive. Every little helps and we are extremely grateful for everything that you do for us. Any questions, please drop us a message, thank you :-)

Friday 27th June 2025

Lighter nights call for celebration of warmer times with some Middle Eastern inspired dining for you this month. Two sittings - one at 6pm and one at 7:30pm.

We've spent some amazing time in the Balkans, Greece, Egypt, Cyprus, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Oman. The food is a lovely blend of lots of things but flavour is paramount so we'd like to share some of that with you in June.

Please drop us a message to book and we can get everything confirmed for you. As always. thank you for supporting our evening events. Please share as widely as possible please and thank you 🙏

Pretty sure the majority of customers think I spend all day with my head in my phone, when in reality I'm just trying to post a bloomin' pic on our socials 😭

There is an actual sensor on my chair so every time I grab five seconds to do this something happens that means I need to go and do anything else instead 🤣

Today though, the interruptions were gorgeous and the very best kind 😍

A lovely surprise visit from my niece now that she is just about to graduate from uni before heading off to the Far East and Oz for a few months 🫶🏻 and then another lovely visit from our sometimes-still-staff-member Lucy before heading off to Disney Florida for THE WHOLE SUMMER to work 😱

Such amazing opportunities for these younglings at the best time in their lives, continuing their learning journey overseas and opening their minds to different cultures and nations. I'm still waiting on my invite to join them mind 🥺🙄 Maybe one day Bob and I will hit the road again and get back out there to clock up a few more countries to add to our already impressive list 🤔 I wonder if they need a cracking cafe over in Japan? 🙏🏻🏃🏻‍♀️

Have a great weekend folks. I've actually done it. Time to post. Ok byeeee ♥️

Next in line for us revisiting our heritage pubs while in Manchester is the Sir Ralph Abercromby. Back in the days before Bob's family adopted the more familiar 'ie' at the end of the surname, his Great Great Great Grandfather Ralph was a lieutenant in the British Army and was stationed in Manchester during the Battle of Portlee that defended the Greater Manchester Port Authority from an invasion by the Irish in 1780.

Such was Grandad Ralph's success, he was named as Commander in Chief of the British Army and later went on to defend Egypt against invasion by the French. He lost his life in that battle but a pub in Manchester was named after him and he has a permanent place in the city's history. The change to 'ie' at the end of the surname came about when the linen traders of Manchester Port ran out of ink writing the 'y', and thus the surname has been Abercrombie ever since. It was those same linen traders who went on to establish a hugely successful clothing company across the ocean in partnership with Albert Fitch to become Abercrombie & Fitch.

In fact, none of the above is true but they do pull an amazingly fresh pint and we're now off to explore more of the random pubs of Manchester on our final night away before heading back home tomorrow 🥹

We've missed you guys and are looking forward to seeing you all again. Our team has done an amazing job in our absence and you lot have kept them all super busy so thank you for that 👍🏻

♥️

What do you do when you're visiting the fam in Manchester and you have a spare afternoon with your niece and nephew? You take them to the Science and Industry Museum of course to learn about bogies and snot and make Bob wear a Bogie Crown 👍🏻 #jobdone

Hope you're all having a great week. The team are all rested and ready and raring to go. Busy day today and some cake pics on their way 👌🏻

Ok byee

Three Years since we opened the doors in Errol we have come to visit our twins in Manchester 🙌🏻

These guys have been around for waaaaaaaay longer than us and are a proper old school boozer but the welcome is as lovely and the beers are 😘👌🏻

Still named after the Scottish poem from Carse of Gowrie and still forever for the love of The Lass ♥️

One day we'll get to the hotel in Australia 😱 @thelassogowrie

Have a lovely weekend everyone 🫶🏻

Aaaaaaaaaand. Relax. 😎

Thank you for an amazing Bank Holiday weekend folks. You kept us on our toes today 🥵 but it was the perfect send off as Ali & Bob sign off for a WHOLE WEEK 😱 Don't worry, the Lass O'Gowrie A-Team are in charge so you're in safe hands. They'll look after you and you look after them too please. BEHAVE YOURSELVES 🤭🙄

We're off for a wee early soiree for Bob's GIGANTIC birthday in July 🙌🏻 We'll send pics 👍🏻

Have a great week everyone and SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY 😉♥️

Well, it's been a strange old Saturday here at The Lass O'Gowrie 🥰 for all the right reasons thankfully.

A refreshing break in the weather wet the fields overnight but the muggy warmth remained. That made for a right old hoor of a sauna in the kitchen today but we braved that just for you guys 😇 cos we're like that you know 👍🏻

We "did" have biscoff cookie sandwiches for you but we got as far as posting a pic and then two of you turned up and bought the lot so 🤷 don't tell anyone but we have raspberry white chocolate ones tomorrow 😉🤫 we're not yet at the stage of limiting you but if you carry on with this bulk buying behaviour we're not ruling it out 😂

Just as we were about to pass out in front of the grill, two lovely customers arrived for cake and coffee and said "oh we LOVED the write up on you The Courier today, congratulations" 👏🏻

*blank expressions 😶

Turns out the rather smashing @rachelmcconachie
had done a wee sneaky review of our gluten free meal night and wowsers 😍

We are beyond grateful for the support and kind words x @thecourier.uk has always been hugely supportive of what we are doing here and to have received such a glowing account of our meal nights just makes all of this worthwhile. More details of your June meal night coming soon. We're skipping May because ............

*Drumroll............

We're taking a week OFF 😱 but more of that later ...... For now we are just hugely grateful, thankful and slightly overwhelmed 🫶🏻

Have a great weekend everyone

We've cleared a space in our retail fridge for something super exciting arriving on Thursday. 5,000 Aura to the first person who can tell us what it's going to be. No clues and no spoilers 🤭🤫

OK one clue. It's delicious. 👁️👄👁️

Ok byee

@garron_music 🫶🏻

You bought all our fresh cream filled strawberry donuts so thank you because Bob actually had his eye on one for "supper" 👁️👄👁️ so now he gets fresh green salad and quiche instead 👍🏻

It's been a great weekend here. Lots of sunny faces to match the skies outside. Loads going on round about these parts which we are very grateful for as it brings folk into The Shire and we get to show them how lovely these parts are. They're pretty all year round but especially glorious in the sunshine.

Rumours of some rain on the way which is good news for the farmers and the crispy forests and gorse on the hills. All in all, can't really complain at all actually. Even though we're getting a preview of what hell is going to be like in the kitchen at the moment, you guys are still into the soup and coffees so who are we to judge, eh? 🤷

Just keep on keeping on folks ♥️ ok byee x

Chuffed to braw wee bits that we've got the gorg merch fae @cheryljonesdesigns on our shelves 🙌🏻

We contacted her yonks ago but Cheryl had the actual audacity to be having a baby and taking time off 🙄😉🤭 so we've had to sit on our hands since then waiting for the wee one to be able dress itself and here we are ♥️♥️

We honestly would have waited longer if need be because Cheryl's talents are worth it. All her own designs and with top class banter thrown in, we have a great selection of tea towels, coasters, mugs, cards, candles, keyrings and magnets 🫶🏻

There's also a cute range suitable for FATHER'S DAY so pop in for a gifty browse.

Listen, don't let this sunshine go to your head. We offer 100% shade and that's just fae the management 😎

Ok, byeee 👍🏻

Our Sophie has been a busy bee this morning doing pretty things with our new retail stock from @castletonfarm 🙌🏻♥️ Their new range of jams, chutneys, vinegars and syrups are all made using produce grown on the farm 🫶🏻 Apparently the syrups are rather nice in a chilled summer cocktail 😉🍸☀️ so why not take advantage of this cracking sunny weather to enjoy a Scottish Berry Bellini 😎 Cheers 👍🏻

We can't even explain how happy we are today having taken delivery of this year's first 🍓 crop from Mains of Errol Fruit Shack 🤸🏻‍♀️💃🏻🙌🏻

We will have strawberries every single day now through the summer so grab a punnet from our retail fridge 👌🏻 we can confirm that they have been through "Quality Control" aka Molly and Ali and have been approved 👀🤭

Of course we will also be using them now in our own cakes so our strawberry tarts will be back from tomorrow as well as fresh cream croissants and Tres Leches x

We love celebrating the proper seasons here so once Errol stops producing then we stop using strawberries 👍🏻 but that's a few months away so get ON IT ♥️🍓♥️🍓♥️🍓♥️🍓♥️

Hello May 👋🏻 it's good to see you 🥹

We've heard a few folk say this week "can't believe it's already May! How did that happen?" Yeah, we feel you. It seems like Half Term, Mother's Day, the clocks changing, Easter and now May Bank Holiday are all just merging into one and if we're not careful we will hear someone mention the "C" word and it will be 2026 🫣😱 #bonkers

What better time then to take a moment to step back and appreciate how far we've come. April was very good to us. VERY good. We didn't stop. You came in your droves. It was our most successful month since we opened the doors. It was a tad tricky behind the scenes whilst we navigated a lot of changes but we're now a shade off of three years old and it feels good 👍🏻

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

1. Our staff are amazing. We will never stop repeating this. They are the reason we are here. And also the reason why you are here according to our reviews 🥰

2. Our customers are amazing. We will also never stop repeating this 😁 You too are the reason we are here. Thank you for supporting us and for getting what we are about.

3. Some folk. A few. They don't get it. And they never will. 🤷

4. Believe in yourself. We will be the eternal imposters but with such great support from you all we are constantly reminded that you enjoy what we do. So we will keep doing it 👍🏻

5. Cake fixes everything. It's true. Absolute facts. 🙌🏻

We've had a couple of quiet mornings this week and customers walk in and go "oh, I was expecting you to be busier, is everything ok?"

Yes. Everything is ok. Really ok. 👌🏻

The quiet times are when we get stuff done. All the stuff that waits patiently on a list, staring at us while everything else is whirling round about it and so the stuff gets ignored.

The calm. Before the storm. After the storm. Sometimes right in the eye of the storm. But storms pass and calmness reminds us that everything happens for a reason. Thank you to everyone who supports us and believes in us. It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

Have a lovely Sunday and see you all again soon ♥️

The tres leches is not expected to survive long this weekend 👁️👄👁️

Happy Bank Holiday weekend everyone. The sun is shining and we are bizzay 🐝

Our cake counter is FOO to bursting so be a pal and make cake gifting the new trend 🙌🏻👍🏻

For some daft reason we still have soups and toasties on 🤷 but you never know ........ Maybe The Nut One will be enough to tempt you ? 😉

Ok byeeeeee 👋🏻

Beautiful apple blossom on a Lass O'Gowrie tree in Perthshire 🍎

Thank you to our friends at Harvest Brae for sending over this lovely photo of their orchard. We are patiently waiting for the 2025 harvest of these delicious apples so we can bring you more of our exclusive single variety Apple Juice 🙏

Like most things to do with our business, choosing our name was a lengthy and potentially over-deliberated process 🙄 but we wanted to make sure it meant something to us and also to our customers. Naming ourselves after a variety of apple that was discovered here in Errol was to represent our commitment to the local community and other local producers and suppliers.

Here at The Lass O'Gowrie - Scotland we like to offer you the opportunity to experience a cafe that cares about its customers and is interested in getting to know you better (if that's what you want 😂) Every penny spent with us is an investment in our locally employed staff, many of whom are experiencing their first ever job. We are in a privileged position and we don't take running our own business for granted and we certainly don't take our customers or suppliers for granted. We look forward to seeing you all again soon and hope you have a lovely weekend ❤️

It was our Vegan Meal Night last night and it was lovely but SOMEONE 🫣 forgot to take any photos of the food 🤌🏻🙄

Fortunately we have lovely folk AT the meal night who take lovely photos and share them with us so thank you to @ella.mf for being on the ball and for supporting our meal nights 🫶🏻

No meal night in May but we will be back in June. Let us know if you are available Friday 27th or if you'll be jetting off on holiday cos the schools are finished ✈️ 🤷

Easter Monday. Yes we are Open 👍 9am to 3pm.

"Let It Brie" now on our permanent menu. We originally created this toastie over 11 years ago and folk said we were mad. Brie and Raspberry Jam 😱 You're having a laugh 😂

Na. We're dead serious ...... It's the biz 😘👌

Hope you all had a lovely weekend with whatever you were doing. Us? Well, we were here doing what we do and so were hunners of you lot so thank you for making it a memorable one for all the right reasons 🥰 Have a great week folks and see you again soon x

True Story. There's a full on fight going on over these bad boys. Raspberry White Chocolate Chip cookies sandwiches together with vanilla buttercream and a dollop of raspberry jam 😋

They're MAHOOSIVE 🤦 Second batch might be a teeeeeeeny bit more manageable size-wise but we'll see how they turn out.

Happy Easter everyone. Once you've battered half a dozen chocolate eggs for your breakfast, pop in and say hellooo 👌

So, you ate all the mango one yesterday so Molly made this one for you today 🫡 Blackberry Passionfruit with a Raspberry Ripple. We can keep making them as quick as you can eat them so crack on 👍😂

| H A P P E N S T A N C E |

We fulfilled a long held promise to venture out of the Shire for the night on Wednesday and headed to the bright lights of Glasgow. Our destination? @soups_on_and_the_cake_lady of course!

We've been tossing social media love bombs for months now and the emergence of a fantastically deprecating online review by the now infamously barred Daniel led our paths to cross through an outstretched hand of "fellow small cafe owner here" "we understand"

And so we finally got around to getting our bums on seats for one of their sold out supper clubs. Quite possibly the first ever case of proper soup envy from the starter of Tomato and Roast Pepper 😋 Naturally, we had to pick different mains and puds so we could try everything 🤦 Tuscan Sausage Stew was like a big old hug from your favourite granny and a crustless chicken, leek and bacon quiche made us forget the monsoon outside and imagine a Mediterranean horizon with a glass of punchy red.

Hands down the best blackberry pavlova in the universe and the raspberry white chocolate tart almost rendered us speechless, which for us is QUITE the thing as you all know 😉

Plenty of time yet for the online banter to recommence but this is no time for sarcasm and wit. Get yourselves to Cathcart pronto. Dead serious. Tell Pete and Anne we sent you. Not in a sinister debt collecting way obvs 🫢 in a "you're a fool if you don't" sort of thing. Capeesh 👌

Mango, Passionfruit & Raspberry Cheesecake is on today. Busy weekend ahead for us so we look forward to seeing you all.

The first ever youngling we employed here at The Lass was a shy lad called Sandy. He didn't even apply. His big sister did but she took another job in the bright lights of the city where she was going to uni instead. Roger was Sandy's dad.

Roger was in for coffee one day and was joined by Sandy off the school bus. Roger thrust this young lad at us and told us he needed work. I looked Sandy in the eyes and told him I just had two rules for staff. (1) Do your best and (2) don't ever be dishonest.

Sandy started that weekend. He was just 14.

Roger and I had been friends since we first moved to Errol in 2012. We shared many similar interests including an obsession with the English language and pedantic grammar. He used to cycle down with the family to our previous cafe and was a huge supporter of what we were doing and appreciated how hard we worked to make it a success. Sandy was way too young in those days to consider working with us. If anything great came out of our move to the High St it was Sandy being tall enough by that time to reach the dishwasher.

Along with Sandy came his best friend Benji as a package deal. And so The Lass O'Gowrie embarked on some of the best years of our lives. Sandy and Benji didn't 'just' do dishes. They kept us entertained. They made us laugh more than was probably safe in a kitchen environment. Occasionally they did dishes. They both progressed to front of house and are permanent members of The Lass O'Gowrie Hall Of Fame.

Sandy lost his Dad Roger suddenly in his sleep on Thursday night and what little we can possibly do to comfort Sandy, his mum Jane and his sister Eve we will indeed do. Roger was the driving force behind so much good in the village of Errol and beyond. Words alone cannot do him justice but they are a fitting tribute to a man who loved the English language.

The Lass O'Gowrie is about more than coffee and cake. It's a family that is hurting for Sandy and his family and we send them all so much love and support at this terrible time.

Love You Sandy
From Ali and Bob and us all here at The Lass 💔

Morning Everyone and welcome to an AMAZING WEEKEND 🙌🙌🌞🌞 The sun is shining and we are ready to serve you the most amazing coffee courtesy of Barista Bob 🫶💪🥰 We'll soon be launching our new range of Lass O'Gowrie action figures in our retail section and will be adding more team members soon so keep an eye out for the full collection coming to your Happy Meal 👌

We're here from 9am so see you soon x

| V E G A N | F O O D |

Still some seats available for our Vegan Night on Friday 25th April 2025. 6:30pm or 7:30pm slots available - about 4 in each -ish 🤷

Message us if you would like to come for your tea :-)

2025 Easter Hoglets are here 🙌🙌 Each one comes with a whole cream egg tucked inside and they make great gifts x Every penny from the sales goes to Hogscroft Hedgehog Rescue Inchture, a registered charity. They are inundated just now with poorly hedgehogs so need your help more than ever. They're still endangered and have the perfect ability to be susceptible to most things that off them so the work that Hogscroft is doing is invaluable.

#savethehedgehogs ♥️🦔

How about Kiwi & Passionfruit Baked Cheesecake?

Our cheesecakes have been around for more than a decade and we thought you'd have gotten over it by now, but apparently not 🫣🤭🫣🤭😂🥹

Just a few more weeks to go until we get ERROL 🍓🍓 🙌 so until then we look a bit further afield for a tropical infusion 🌞

Always GF but never knowingly rubbish 👍

We're here from 9am. Cake from 9:01 to 15:59 🫶
