Two Fat Ladies – 88! And, rather cleverly, Eighty Eight is the new name for the former Two Fat Ladies on Glasgow’s Dumbarton Road. Behind it are the guys that brought The Drake on the city’s Woodlands Road to life, Angus Stewart and John McGinnes, who are leasing from Ryan James (pictured), and they’ve made a few changes to the interior.
Said GM Andy Kelly, “Angus and John leased it because it had the right kind of vibes for what they wanted, plus Angus was keen to do something more food-led.
“We have 24 covers, the layout is the same, but we have new seats and tables and the walls have been given a lick of paint – off-white with green tiling, plus there’s lots of foliage. The Head Chef is Robbie Morrow and the small plates menu changes every day because there’s nowhere to store anything so fresh ingredients arrive daily.”
