In a beautiful Church reconverted into a Pub and Theatre, renown for its 3Ps formula “A Play, a Pie and a Pint” you will dive deep into the Scottish traditional culture with a Cullen Skink soup and some Haggis.
Now let´s have a Chicken Tikka Masala! Surprised? Come with us to learn why this is such an important dish in Glasgow!
In the cosy atmosphere of a Scottish Restaurant you will discover the most iconic dessert in Scotland namely the Cranachan.
Still in the area, time to enjoy a sip of heart and soul warming Scottish Whisky.
And now for a little digestive stroll, we make a push to the astonishing buildings of the Glasgow University that will no doubt remind you of some school of Wizardry.
At this stop you will try our thoroughly curated selection of some of our favourite Scottish cheese!
We wrap up the tour with our secret dish!

We appreciate your review. Your feedback is appreciated by everyone on our team. We’d love to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours!
This was a really great intro to Glasgow and to Scottish foods. Will was very fun and informative. It was a very small group on the day we went (3 people including us, plus Will), and it ended up feeling like we spent the day hanging out with friends. Highly recommend!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Reading about your experience was a pleasure for our entire team. We hope Secret Food Tours is part of your next city adventure.

Adam was a great tour guide, full of knowledge and made the tour fun for everyone. We got to try lots of different Scottish & local foods with a stop for whisky. Would highly recommend if you fancy a tour in Glasgow.
We truly appreciate your kind review. Your feedback reminds us why we love sharing these experiences with our guests. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!
The food and drink variety was wonderful. You should request Adam as your tour guide. He was fun, and funny, but the bonus was his historical knowledge and our visit to University as well. The George Mews cheese shop is a must. Learned a great deal about cheese and the wonderful flavors. I highly recommend this tour, and request Adam if you are able.
We loved reading your feedback! Your experience is exactly why we enjoy sharing our favorite local spots every day. We'd love to have you back with Secret Food Tours.
Great way to taste Scotland's food. While some of the tastings were expected (Haggis and Cullen Skink), we did not expect Tika Masala to be on the list. However it all made sense after our guide Adam explained the history behind it. Visited some great restaurants on the tour. Overall a great tour with Adam!
Thank you for your kind words. It's always rewarding to know guests leave with so many positive memories. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again before long!
We had a great time on the tour! Will was a knowledgeable and fun guide. He shared lots of entertaining tidbits about the Scottish history and people. We enjoyed easy stop, and noted some restaurants to come back to later on the visit. I would highly recommend booking the West End Food tour!
We were delighted to read your comments. Your experience captures what we enjoy most about welcoming guests from around the world. We look forward to seeing you again with Secret Food Tours!
We had a great time. Food was great and diverse. Gave a good snapshot of Glasgow cuisine and a nice primer for the area. Will was very personable and informative and a great guide. We would 100% recommend to anyone.
It was a pleasure having you with us! Every city has its own character, and we're happy you had the chance to experience more of it. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours.
Absolutely a fantastic sampling of local food with a knowledgeable & most entertaining tour guide - one with a great sense of humor too (Adam). Discovered how tasty haggis can be and a variety of several other local foods ( I will not divulge any surprises) but smooth scotch whisky was also enjoyed.
We appreciate you joining us. Every city has its own character, and we're glad you had the chance to experience more of it with us. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again soon!
