The Hidden Glasgow Forums

Looking for anyone former colleague's who worked in the Glasgow restaurant waitress waiter's kitchen staff

I was hoping to be on the team or the opening team as I was working for MKT at the time in London & really, really wanted to get involved but my over riding memory is going in and ordering a round that was much more expensive than it would’ve been in my store (Henry J Bean’s, King’s Road) due to 1/4 gills being the standard serve
Also I don’t think Glasgow was ready for food served in red plastic baskets with grease proof paper. A couple of years later I was working at Parklands when Stirling born Dougie Smillie was sent north to oversee the change from meatpackers to Havana?

Good stuff SmokyW, what do you do now snd where are you living!

Must have missed this first time round!

Am I right in thinking Meatpackers was at Central Station, near the Hope Street entrance? Up a small flight of stairs? And with the wee 'steam' trains running round tracks on the wall?

I hope so, because my girlfriend (later wife) and I used to love going there for a night out! Didn't happen very often, being student nurses, but thoroughly enjoyed! We were gutted when they closed.

What! How do I not know about this wee steam train, is there any footage on YouTube
