Chef and owner Andrew Stott said: “I am very pleased and would like to thank the public very much but we still need the votes to keep coming!”

The quaint black and white cottage on Milngavie Road is one of the oldest buildings in the district . Originally built as a breakaway church from New Kilpatrick in 1786 it has gone through many transformations over two centuries.

From 1994 to 2015 it housed the couture designer Joyce Young of By Storm whose business moved four years ago to larger premises beside her production unit at Maryhill Station and is now called Joyce Young Design Studios.

Joyce and husband Maurice Bhuglah are regulars at Beaumartin and have become good friends with Andrew and Richard.
