I'm a Glasgow-born chef and I lead food tours of this wonderful-but-underrated city. I'm a chef who has worked in some of the city's best dining spots, cooked at Scotland's first Michelin two-star restaurant, and moonlighted in stand-up comedy. Both Glasgow and Scottish food don't get the attention they deserve, and I aim to show people another side to the city and its unique cuisine. Although my tours use food as the jumping-off point, it's not entirely about eating. We talk about Glasgow's history and its role in the British Empire, the city's rough-and-tumble culture, and even learn some Glaswegian slang. I led food tours in Cambodia for many years and am delighted to be back in my home town, sharing with visitors the city that I love.

Glaswegian for a day! Would highly recommend taking a tour with Patter&Scran! We had a great tour with Steven. Not only did we get to experience local food and drink of Glasgow (e.g., pizza crunch iykyk), but he was also extremely knowledgeable about Glasgow's history, architecture, and Scottish culture in general. He was kind, friendly, timely, and answered all our (many) questions. Plus the food was delicious! The whole experience felt very authentic for our small party of three Americans (2 adults and 1 infant). Just wish we had more time available to spend in Glasgow! If you're thinking about taking this tour, do it!
