GLASGOW’S Riverside Museum is gearing up to host Glasgow’s biggest ever street food festival.

The free event, taking place this weekend, will showcase more than 20 handpicked artisan food trucks, vendors, suppliers and producers as well as a unique pop-up restaurant, held in a shipping container.

TV Chef Julie Lin MacLeod, award-winning food vendors ShrimpWreck, and gourmet hot dog favourites Fire Dog will be among those tempting tastebuds.

Scottish Chef Garry Gill, who has cooked for the likes of Princess Anne and Mick Jagger, is also involved.

He is head chef at Glasgow’s award-winning seafood restaurant A’Challtainn located in Glasgow’s Barras Market.

He said: “I am hugely excited to be involved with the very first Scottish Street Food Festival.

“Ultimately, the event is designed to honour the very best of Scotland’s amazing street food scene, so expect some serious culinary delights this weekend.

“The ambition is to make this an annual affair, supporting and showcasing the very best street food Scotland has to offer as the scene continues to grow and thrive.”

Organiser Brian Traynor, owner of BAaD events, said, “This weekend is all about celebrating Scotland’s rich and vibrant street food scene, but also the spectacular setting of the Riverside Museum. We can’t wait to see everyone down here.”
