HAGGIS member Cindy Gunther visited recently & gave a rave review.  "The menu featured numerous food items we've enjoyed in England, Scotland and at various restaurants and festivals throughout the US. Some of the selections are the Ploughman's Lunch, Sausage Rolls, Scotch Eggs, Shepherd's Pie, Bangers and Mash, Egg Mayonnaise, English Thin Sandwiches, Steak and Ale Pie, English Country Breakfast (served all day)."  There are also British beers on tap.  Plans are to eventually make haggis with the recipe from the  owner's Scottish father!
