Glasgow mac ‘n’ cheese festival returns in May

Pastaval will now be held in the city centre as well as the Southside of the city.  Pastaval with McIntosh will be held on Saturday 4th May from 12 noon in Glasgow’s City Centre. Pastaval with My Shawlands, will be held on Sunday 26th May from 12 noon.

The event will begin with participants picking up their Mac and Cheese appreciation pack from the Pastaval base at Pie and Brew on Bath Street in the city centre and if attending the Southside festival, The Butterfly and The Pig South on Kilmarnock Road in Shawlands.

Then, using their provided map, attendees visit the participating venues tasting some delicious mac and cheese. Scorecards are provided so that notes can be made on their opinion of each mac and cheese. Then they return the scorecards at the end of their journey to pick a winner.

The winning venue will be presented with a suitably cheesy trophy to proudly display that they have been awarded the accolade of the best mac and cheese of Pastaval.

Emma Mykytyn, blogger of Foodie Explorers said: “I didn’t think we could top last year’s Mac and cheese themed wedding but this year we have two Pastavals! 

“We know that others love macaroni as much as we do and the demand for a city centre Pastaval was huge.

“We need the public’s help to pick the best mac and cheese in the City Centre and Southside this year. Can you handle both?”

Tickets are £10 per person for each event and are available to buy via www.foodieexplorers.co.uk
