A cafe dedicated to morning rolls is set to open in the Barras Market.
Created by the team behind the popular whisky and cocktail bar The Gate, Hutch will be launching in the heart of the east end this weekend. The cafe will open this Saturday, July 23, and operate every weekend from 10am to 4pm, serving up classic breakfast rolls, on Mortons or McGee's as well as five signature 'House Rolls'.
Working with Scottish food champions, That’s Yer Dinner, the menu features rolls such as The McIve. This Cubano sandwich has been given a Glasgow makeover with the customer's choice of butter brushed and pressed morning roll with pork two ways, ham, crackling, gherkins, Swiss cheese and mustard.

Meanwhile the Chick Piece is inspired by the many amazing Middle Eastern restaurants around Glasgow. Pick your choice of roll with homemade falafel, fresh tahini dressing, salad, pickle, and garlic and chilli sauce.
Or the cheeky Captain Birdsaye which celebrates Glasgow’s long-established love affair with the chippy. It boasts homemade Panko Fish Fingers, zesty Tartare Sauce and Romaine Lettuce.
Andy Gemmell owner of The Gate and Hutch said he 'jumped at the chance' to open a food joint at The Barras.
He said: “I have been trying to get a cafe around the area for a while, so when the opportunity came to open one in the middle of The Barras I jumped at the chance. I love great pubs for their connection to the community and Glasgow cafes are exactly the same.
"I love the area; its history, the people, and its character. I’ve been working in the Gallowgate for over six years.
"I’m still a newcomer, but I quite like that, you have to prove you belong here. With Hutch, I knew that I had to have an offering that would appeal to traders and also bring down new folk down the market.
"I am very proud to be part of The Barras which is going from strength to strength.”
Hutch has seating for up to 20 guests and also has plans to release an exciting supper club from the cafe which is expected to launch next month. Head to the official Instagram page for more updates.
