Harry Intemann. You were a legend. Great meals and a lot of laughs. Working mans cafe. Leave Stuffy Coleman's and a late supper. Great memories with many characters of the day. Kevin
Malcolm Lodge
Great feeds
Julie Steele
Fantastic fish and chips
Gavin Cook
Use to put spuds through the chipper occasionally as a youngster. Mum and dad good mates of Harry
Lyn N Moe
We would always go there when we were on the booze as young fellas and have filleted sole and eggs. The old lady was always good to deal with. You got buttered bread before your meal came, I remember we would clean it up with salt and pepper, black sauce while we waited. Good place back in the day. Chang and Ron Lee were two I remember going there with often.
Jenny Jones
Lyn N Moe Great memories Moe.

On New Years Eve, Mum and Dad would take my sister Marilyn and I into town on the bus, and we would go to Intermanns for tea. The buttered bread always seemed so flash to me as of course we had to butter our own at home. We would have tea, then back home on the bus. We would then wait for the baby sitter to come and Mum and Dad would go up to Dunollie for New Years Eve. Lovely memories.
