My name is Ally and I live on The isle Of Bute (look it up
)After 20 years in the IT consultancy game, and countless breakfasts/lunches/dinners in cafes all over the country, my wife challenged my constant carping about what people were doing wrong in their cafes (I'm a serial criticiser). If you can do better, go and show us all. Silly woman
Last September, she went off for a weekend trip to Germany with my daughter, only to come back to find me saying "Remember you told me............well, while you were away, i bought a Cafe and we're opening in two weeks".Anyways, opened late September and have learned a lot, taken my cooking in the house skills (??) to cooking in a cafe and am loving every minute of it.
The Mrs has become 'Mrs Front Of House' and has taken to it really well after having some reservations at the start.
Really pleased with the way we've survived the off season and most of the best restaurant owners on the Island come to me for their weekend brekky fry ups and we've had a couple of holiday makers send letters into the local paper offering their congratulations for what we've done with the place. We're almost through the winter season and looking forward to the real season starting at Easter.
Stumbled upon this place and am enjoying having a good read through.
Cheers,
Ally @ The Port Cafe
