MacTassos has hinted at a brand new location - and we have a feeling it will be welcome news for southside food fans.

The Greek street food legends already have spots on Kelvin Way in the west end and at Glasgow Fort, in the east end - and both see long queues regularly.

So news that a third location is in the works has been met with delight - and we think we’ve deciphered the team’s less-than-subtle hints about where it will be.

Posting on Instagram and inviting fans to guess, MacTassos said: “Can you guess where our next street food van is popping up?

“Clue 1: it’s located in a shopping centre.

“Clue 2: the centre was built on land that was originally used for tenement housing and then a much smaller shopping centre, before the new state of the art shopping centre.

“Clue 3: winning awards is something we have in common with the centre.”

Accompanying pictures identify the award-winning shopping mall as Silverburn, in Glasgow’s Pollok - as many foodies have guessed correctly in comments.

There's no word on an opening date just yet - or where in Silverburn MacTassos will take pride of place - but we're keeping our eyes peeled for more info as we eye up a cheeky post-shopping gyros.
