Just the Remedy!
Strathbungo’s newest cafe and deli is now open
Business has really taken off at Remedy, Strathbungo’s new cafe and deli which opened on 15th September, and no wonder – Phil and Liz Callaghan are bringing a much-needed ambience to Pollokshaws Road, which has been long been lacking the high quality bistros and coffee shops from the other side of the tracks.
Queen Square residents Phil and Liz are ably assisted by Liz’s daughter Jennifer, who is currently studying at Glasgow School of Art.
Liz is originally from Cumbria and she moved to Glasgow nine years ago to work in the health care sector. Having run a takeaway and restaurant a few years ago, the idea of setting up a cafe and deli had been growing in her mind and eventually, after a stint in events management, she decided it was now or never.
There’s a decided emphasis on Mediterranean ingredients but Liz hopes to develop the cafe further, bringing in more French foods and even far eastern influences – real fusion food!
She’s also keen to hear suggestions for the deli and, as a result of customers’ requests, she’s already looking at stocking a variety of produce from salt beef to parsnip crisps.
The initial success of the business in Strathbungo has taken the Callaghans by surprise so they’re making a real effort to work out the best opening hours for all, including – an exclusive for the local community – Sunday mornings for coffee and papers.
They’re also staying open in the early evenings to catch workers returning home who want to gather in the essentials for a quick, easy and delicious supper.
Current opening hours are:
Monday-Wednesday: 9am-6pm
Thursday-Friday: 9am-7.30pm
Saturday: 9am-5pm
Sunday: 11am-5pm.
Remedy is at 729-731 Pollokshaws Road, opposite the Taverna. Telephone: 0141 423 9181.
