Located in the heart of the Barras Market in Calton, A’Challtainn @ Barras Art and Design is a brand new, multi-purpose venue concept dedicated to Glasgow’s booming food scene. It’s not even open yet and already it’s making an impression.
Brought to you by the creators of Glasgow’s enormously successful pop-ups, Fish Plaice at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and Heverlee at Tontine Lane, A’Challtainn @ BAaD will house a 120 seat restaurant, internal courtyard and event space, coffee shop, cocktail bar, beer garden and a variety of independent food vendors.
The plan is to create Glasgow’s first ever Food Quarter. The venue space has been transformed following a six figure investment and an extensive five-month renovation. BAaD courtyard will have a flexible design that will allow the space to house markets, exhibitions, large-scale events and live music performances, as well as a number of small, independent food-led businesses.
As an introduction, the Feast End Festival will take place at A’Challtain from 18-20th November.
Glasgow’s street food scene has been desperately seeking new spaces and this is going to encourage some of the innovative chefs in the city.
So far, there are six food trucks that have been announced for the Feast End Festival. Check them out below.
