Glaswegians brave Storm Bert to visit popular southside bakery set to close this weekend

Southside residents were spotted braving the snow to visit a popular Govanhill bakery which is set to close its doors permanently.

Two.eight.seven made the 'bittersweet' announcement that they were hanging up their aprons after four years on Langside road last month.

Owners Sam and Anna Luntley took to social media to tell fans that their last day of trading would be Sunday, November 24, with the pair hoping to take up a 'new challenge'.

A statement read: "Time for change and for us to confirm the rumours that we will be closing two.eight.seven when our lease ends at the end of November.

"We had been resisting posting on Instagram about closing as it was important to us to tell as many of our regular customers as we could in person, but we realise that the time has come to confirm the facts and hush the ever-spinning rumour mill.

"Two eight seven has been a total pleasure - a project which we intended to last 18 months, but which has been such a joyful & successful venture that we find ourselves here almost 4 years on. we have met some amazing people, hosted delicious suppers, found a new community, refined & corrected things we weren’t happy with at bakery47, worked hard & had a lot of fun.

"In the spirit of life is short & the world is big : full of many exciting opportunities & amazing places, we have decided to force a change - and open ourselves up to new lessons, new rhythms, new challenges & experiences.

"A bittersweet decision but ultimately an exciting & positive one."

The news was met with sadness by fans who turned out in their dozens this morning (Saturday, November 23) to enjoy a last chance sweet treat before the bakery closes for good at 4pm on Sunday.
