Glasgow’s very own festival dedicated entirely to mac and cheese is set to take place on Saturday, May 20 - and tickets are FINALLY on sale for hungry fans.
The Evening Times had previously reported on how the event - dubbed ‘Pastaval’ - was set to hit the city in May.
Pasta fans were able to save the date last week after it was confirmed. However, those looking to get ahead of the game can now snap up their tickets at £10 each - but they better hurry as it looks like they're set to be snapped up in record time.

Fans of the creamy and cheesy goodness are being invited to head to Shawlands and help organisers find the best mac and cheese in the area as part of the Southside Fringe.
Organised by duo Mark and Emma, founders of the Foodie Explorers blog, the pair explained how the day will begin at 12pm with participants picking up a pack from The Butterfly and The Pig South on Kilmarnock Road in Shawlands.
Then, using a provided map, attendees visit participating venues tasting delicious mac and cheese dishes.
Venues taking part are The Butterfly and the Pig, Buddy’s Diner, Millbrae Hill Cafe, The Bungo, and Waverley Tea Room.

Scorecards are provided so that notes can be made along the way which are then to be returned at the end of the day where visitors will be in for a chance to pick up some amazing prizes.
The winning venue will also be presented with a cheese trophy. Previous years’ winners were The Butterfly and The Pig South in 2015 and The Waverley Tea Rooms the year before that.
Tickets are available to buy now at billetto.co.uk.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
