Last year’s winner, The Bungo, are rolling up their sleeves and are ready for the challenge to keep the title and add another trophy to their wall!

The day will begin with participants picking up their Mac and Cheese appreciation pack from the McIntosh Pastaval base at 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 and may even get a photo with Mr Macaroni himself!
