Overview

It’s In The Bag is a West End seafood-boil takeaway at 93–95 Hyndland Street (Partick / Dowanhill, G11 5PU). The idea is American-style boil bags — prawns, mussels, lobster, corn, eggs, sausages and potatoes — served with butter sauce and lemon, for collection or delivery rather than a full restaurant service. Bags on Uber Eats run from a Mini Prawn Bag around £30 up to a full Lobster Bag around £80, with prawn and mussel mixes in between. The shop’s Mealzo site lists Tuesday–Saturday 4pm–9pm, closed Sunday and Monday, and notes a surcharge may apply. Order online, via the app, Uber Eats / Deliveroo, or phone 07463 111302. Reviews often praise the sauce and portions but warn waits can stretch past 50 minutes when busy. Kelvinhall subway is about a 10-minute walk; Partick station is a similar distance south.

We were a bit sceptic at first because the place didn’t have much reviews but decided to take the risk after all and didn’t regret it for a second! We ordered through delivero and the delivery took quite a long time, which was almost 2 hours. We did contact the restaurant with on the phone and the call was picked up quickly and answered in a very polite manner, we were reassured that the order was coming and the delay happened due to some issues. The food was absolutely amazing if to say the least. We got a mussel and prawn bag with some extra prawns. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We picked a mild boil because I personally don’t tolerate spice well and it was just the right amount of spicy, which brought up the flavor of seafood even more. The side souse was absolutely phenomenal, and with the seafood it was a perfect combination. This place is truly a hidden gem of Glasgow and if you are like us skeptical about trying, definitely go for it, you won’t regret!!!

Lovely place quite homely nice open fire, but you have to wait over 50 mins for 2 seafood boils. The waiter has kept us up to date with how long it would take for our food, but 30 mins turned into over 50 minutes so… the seafood boil was underwhelming, parts of it was cooked, over cooked and under cooked (the potatoes undercooked and corn overcooked) wouldn’t be in a rush back.

If you're craving a New Orleans-style seafood boil in Glasgow, look no further. This takeaway-only gem might just be the best in the city—better than many coastal seafood spots. The value is unbeatable, with generous portions of perfectly cooked mussels, prawns and lobster ( a whole lobster with the shell cracked - unremoved, so no special utensils needed other than a bib) seasoned beautifully. The sauce is extraordinary, almost like a seafood chimichurri, balancing flavors without overpowering the seafood’s natural taste. While there might be a bit of a wait, it’s clearly a labor of love, possibly a one-person operation, so patience is rewarded. Grab some crusty bread to soak up every drop of that sauce. This is a unique addition to Glasgow’s food scene, and I hope it’s here to stay!

My Wife and I got the Lobster tail bag. Wow the flavours are amazing. Plenty in the bag too, the broth and the dip provided especially wow again. Fantastic and will definitely be returning. Thank you.
