Back in the day,Aitkens may have been up there,but I would guess bad management the last 10,15 years,or the owners knowing they were going to retire,has seen most of their shops(Aitkens) look a bit tatty these days.I see JG Ross has a big new shop across the road in Torry,so wouldna think it was a lack of potential trade
Got round to trying a couple of their rowies today and was a bit underwhelmed tbh.Mediocre.
Been trying various other rowies around town with the morning coffee.The wifie at the sandwich shop on esslemont Av was up their with the best,....but now her daughter(quite tidy),has taken over the shop,and replaced them with veggie rowies .
Was in Herds the butchers the other day,and asked them who made their rowies,and was surprised to find they make their own .....but I would suggest they maybe stick to butchering
Rowie results are in as follows,starting in last place -
J G Ross - Just looked,didna bother buying...shite
Herds - Bland,floury
Chalmers - Better,but mediocre
Aitkens - Average
Thains - Good
But the winner is.....
Bruce of the Broch .Bit of a dark horse,but good generous,flaky rowie.Boy at the Grove(top loon) in Union Grove had them.He'll be using them permanently when Aitkens packs in
