Eats from the Street

Eats from the Street is a pop-​up village at Glasgow Fort with 5 different vendors — it was on this weekend, and will be back on ½ November, and then ²⁹⁄₃₀ November and ²⁷⁄₂₈ December.
I’d never been to Glasgow Fort so it was quite the adventure for us to head along and check it out (although I wanted to cry when I realised the Fort is an outside shopping park!). The set up of Eats from the Street is pretty cool, there’s a double decker red bus parked outside Argos and the 5 food vendors all have their own set up around the bus. You grab your food and take a seat in one of the booths in the bus to eat — meaning you’re out of the wind/​rain which is nice. There’s also dining tables outside if it’s not raining.
When we visited, the foods on offer were from Zoete Koek (crepes/​waffles), Mighty Mexican (tacos, burritos), Breaking Bread (bahn mi), Nusou (noodles), Fat Hippo (burgers). I was impressed with the range and that none of the stalls were selling the same thing, meaning there was a good range of variety. I’d never tried any of these stalls but decided to go with Nusou noodles of the chicken variety. Most stalls seemed to be selling food at the £5 mark which I thought was a really good price for what you go. The noodles were super tasty, fresh and packed with veggies — I’d definitely get these again!
Graeme tried a burger from Hippo and it had a crazy-​good sauce on it which I’d have happily scoffed in a tub on its own. Sitting in the bus was a nice way to spend a Sunday lunch and generally the street food area had a pretty cool vibe to it.
Check out the website for details of who’ll be popping up for future dates, it’s well worth heading along to check it out, especially if you live close to the Fort.
(It’s worth noting that there’s some construction work happening at the Fort just now and there were really long queues of cars to get in when we were leaving — we arrived just after midday and didn’t have any problems getting in, it seems to get busier later in the afternoon. Be warned!)
