Baby Grand in Glasgow’s Charing Cross announced its closure as the building it is situated in is set to be demolished. We visited for the final time to try their Last Stand! Menu where prices have reverted back to 1984.

00:00Hello, so today we are at Baby Grand at Charing Cross and we are here, it's been open since
00:081984.
00:09We are here because it's closing down, unfortunately.
00:12Unfortunately it's closing down, Caitlin, after 40 years in Glasgow, we are seeing giants
00:17everywhere.
00:18So yeah, we're going to have some food because it's back to you.
00:26It's a special menu, it's a special 1984 menu.
00:29They've set back the prices, we thought we'd order off that to get the full 80s experience
00:34here.
00:35There's been a lot of changes in this area since Baby Grand opened, but we're looking
00:39forward to trying the food in this Glasgow establishment.
00:43Yeah, so how are you feeling about this?
00:46I must admit, I have never been in Baby Grand before, I've passed it umpteen times when
00:51we were touring at Charing Cross.
00:52Same.
00:53And I think probably because it's a piano bar and stuff, maybe folk to my age, it's
01:00probably put us off from coming in here before, which is what the owner, Billy, spoke about.
01:04The kind of folk that's been coming here, Caitlin, since the 80s, still come in here.
01:08But as I said, absolutely nothing wrong with being here, and I don't know why I've actually
01:12not come in before.
01:13I'm a bit gutted I've just discovered it, because this is a class we joined.
01:17It's very nice inside.
01:19Yeah, it's very cool, very retro.
01:21I know, the booths are nice, and the food looks lovely as well, so I'm looking forward
01:25to it.
01:26Me too.
01:29So this is my soup.
01:30It tastes quite old school, like classic lentil soup.
01:33I do like it.
01:35What about yours, Declan?
01:36I went a wee bit fancy and got a steak sandwich, but on this menu it's only about £4 for a
01:42steak sandwich, £20-25 is a really good bargain.
01:46That's unheard of.
01:47I'm looking forward to dipping into this, and chips are lovely too.
01:50Oh.
01:51Time for a treat!
01:53Lovely, really nice, plenty of steak on it, as I say, everywhere.
01:57I'll tell you, this is incredible.
01:59I know it's a bit of a one-off, but a steak sandwich for under £5 is kind of negligible,
02:03so lovely, really.
