Dam Ian, the revamp on our banner is a bit freaky!!! Anyway, though, now the new year is underway me and MS started up our Sconie Quest again. This time we took along A (my big sister) and her kids. So we weren’t asking for much of the cafe, just veggie and intolerant options, accessible for a double buggy and enough room to park the double and single buggies beside us! Surprisingly difficult, as though many places have good access, they don’t have much room between the tables, let alone enough for a double buggy not to mention the single one too.A also pointed out some places have a disabled acess door but no actual access, like the Lakeland back door, which has the disabled acess button for the door all labled and that, but once the door opens there is 3 steps to get up!!! Why bother with the fancy accessible door in the 1st place. In their defence one of thier main front doors has a automatic door and ramp, though this is somewhat narrower.

After a wee walk through the South Inch to get the kids to sleep we ended up at the Manna House on the old high street in Perth. This is a christain run cafe which is reknowned for it’s good food and fabulous homemade cakes, as well as it’s bookstore that is attached, As it wasn’t too busy we managed to rearrange a couple of tables to make space for us all. Food wise I was a bit limited by my intolerance as most things were breadular (as in made of bread) but they did have baked potatoes and soup available in a selection of Veggie options. Me and A had a baked potato with cheese and pineapples and MS had soup and a sandwich. It was all quite simple with no fancy displays but very tastey with properly oven cooked potatoes. They also do a selection of fruit teas for those non tea and coffee drinkers, like me, who sometimes still want a hot beverage.

MS and A also had a cake each, which both looked lovely and must admit I had a wee taste. The carrot cake topping was divine and the apple pie filling excellent! In general the service was polite and friendly, though a bit slow. The young man on shift was by far the best (sorry didn’t get his name), with a good attitude, friendly and cheerful manner and very good manners (which I value highly, cost you nothing but make all the difference).

Frontage of the manna House, unfortunately was traffic on road so coudn't stand far enough away to get whole front.
