A NEW brunch and breakfast spot has opened in Hutchesons Hall, on Glasgow’s Ingram St.
Saints of Ingram, from the team behind Devil of Brooklyn and Devil’s Roast, has launched as a daytime spot, but will become a day-to-night concept in the coming months.
The National Trust for Scotland-owned building, which has historically been both a hospital and a library, has undergone some refurbishment to prepare it for this ‘brand-new chapter’ in its life.
General manager Johnathan Cranstoun has joined the Saints team from The Devil’s Roast, Lazzurri Group’s recently launched speciality coffee and breakfast spot sister venture to The Devil of Brooklyn cocktail bar.
Cranstoun said: “We loved introducing The Devil’s Roast concept to Glasgow, transforming an already well-loved bar into a day-to-night venue.
“We’ve been thrilled with the success of it, and we’re excited to bring a similar concept to the city, with a big focus on an elevated brunch offering.
“We’ll soon introduce our night concept, featuring small plates and both classic and signature cocktails until late.
“Using local suppliers is at the heart of every decision we make, it’s something we’re extremely passionate about. We’re kicking things off with a speciality brew from The Good Coffee Cartel, and some fantastic baked goods from Wheatberry Bakery.
“The team is really looking forward to bringing new life back into the beloved venue during the day as well as at night. It’s a real privilege to be working in such a historic space.”
To begin with, the venue will offer a breakfast menu from 8am til 11am featuring signature fry ups, eggs royale, rolls and overnight oats.
Truffle potato scones, steak and eggs and the ‘Saints stack’ – a layering of black pudding, poached egg, potato scone, sriracha hollandaise and pea shoot stacked on sourdough – will all be included in the elevated brunch menu, available from 11 til 4pm.
The menus will also feature a unique Saints of Ingram specialty roast from The Good Coffee Cartel, mochas and hot chocolate using Bare Bones chocolate, teas from Tea Lab, and baked goods from Wheatberry Bakery. Both classic and signature Saints cocktails will be served upstairs in the main hall.
The plan is for the venue to soon begin offering small plates and cocktails from 5pm.
