Paid £5.25 for chips and cheese, I mean come on I add £2 and can get a burger with chips else where with better service. Terrible don’t recommend. Their menu is a lie, it I knew just chips with cheese was £5.25 would of never went there.

After a long drive from Cardiff for a conference I was really struggling to get through the day… I walked into panni’s… and it fixed my soul. Lovely steak pie and chips! Fantastic people working there full of smiles. They also do a huge range of mostly Italian style pannis ,baguettes etc . All looked amazing. I’ll be back in there before I leave Glasgow for sure

We had such a good experience here that if we lived closer we would be regular customers without a doubt :) the food was delicious, the staff were friendly and the price was excellent value for money.
