5 street food hotspots in Glasgow

The Barras 

244 Gallowgate 
Glasgow’s famous market has become a hotspot for street food vendors every weekend. These include haggis-lovers Haggis Gu Leòr, Filipino food from Josie Pops Kitchen, NY pizza from Anxious Pete’s, Euro eats from Greek Street Yeeros and South American snacks from Colombian Bites.

Clydeside Containers 

61 Broomielaw
The schedule has slipped a wee bit but this street food collective next to the Clyde is on the cusp of opening this spring. Expect repurposed shipping containers occupied by vendors including The Crumbleologist, Pizza Cult and Sub126, as well as a rotating offering. A planned partial roof covering should provide some protection from the elements.

Dockyard Social

95–107 Haugh Road 
This Finnieston street food set-up offers a weekly collection of mobile kitchens serving an eclectic mix, from pizza and Thai to burgers, bao buns, chicken wings and more. There are also bars, music and sports screenings in their big weatherproof warehouse space (it’s child and dog friendly, too).

Farmers’ Market 

Partick: Mansfield Park, second & fourth Saturday of month; Shawlands: 5 Langside Avenue, first & third Saturday of month
Run by City Property, these two markets have been around for years. Both bustle with fresh fruit and veg traders, coffee roasters, locally reared meat, fishmongers, cakes and bakes, as well as street food options for grabbing a bite to eat.

The Rail Yard

Kelvinbridge Rail Yard
In the former rail yard between Kelvingrove Park and Kelvinbridge Subway, this daily outdoor food spot also runs a farmers’ market every Saturday. All-week offerings include coffee geeks Uplands Roast and pizza specialists Lupo, while all manner of bakers, grocers and crafters appear for the farmers’ market.
