Glasgow food news? We got it. Look out Brodies, The Dug ‘n’ Duck and, in Ayr, The Fox and Willow. Edinburgh readers might want to head to CAMRA’s Scottish Real Ale Festival in the Corn Exchange this weekend.

Opened at the end of June, Brodies is a bar restaurant on Pollokshaws Road in Strathbungo.

Formerly Shimla Pinks, the new venture sells an impressive 32 Scottish craft beers. An eclectic food menu ranges from halloumi skewers and French onion soup to cheesecake and beef carpaccio.

The design of Brodies is fun. The bar is made from Glenfiddich cask staves while the doors come from an old church in Kilpatrick. Look out for the gargoyle’s head.

We hear that there may be a beer garden taking shape.

Glasgow food news: The Dug 'n' Duck

Meanwhile, in Millerston, The Dug ‘n’ Duck has replaced the New Inn on Avenue End Road.

Burgers, roasts, sharing platters, curries and various takes on dirty fries are among the items on offer on the menu.

As the name suggests, the new venture is dog-friendly. Outside seating is available for mutts and their owners who want to take a little sunshine along with their ale.

DJs and live music add to The Dug ‘n’ Duck’s appeal at weekends.

The Fox and Willow

A new place in Ayr doesn’t really count as Glasgow food news but we’re going to sneak it in here anyway.

The Fox & Willow opened in mid-June on Carrick Road in Ayr.

Formerly the Carrick Lodge Hotel, it has been transformed into a new business offering a kitchen, bar and rooms.

And very smart it looks, too.

They have several menus, including a separate vegetarian and vegan menu.

The main menu is packed with options such as  garlic-grilled Ayrshire langoustines, chicken souvlaki skewers and haggis from the Isle of Lewis.

A steak selection offers fillets, rib-eyes and sirloins. All sourced from Sorn Main Farm and hung for 28 days.
