What began as a celebration of all things hot and pickled at Phillies has grown into a multi-venue food festival, bringing together six local venues for a day of fiery flavours, independent producers and seriously good food and drink. Hosted by Phillies of Shawlands and sponsored by Evan Williams & Elijah Craig, Burn & Brine 2026: The Southside Pickle & Hot Sauce Festival invites food lovers to ditch the usual Sunday plans and take a flavour-packed wander around the neighbourhood, discovering exclusive food and drink specials, independent hot sauce makers and pickled creations along the way. With a food-hall-style atmosphere spread across Phillies of Shawlands, The Corona, The Glad Cafe, Next Door, Bossa and Lunar, each venue will serve up its own Burn & Brine specials, showcasing what it does best with a fiery or pickled twist. Expect everything from tacos and chicken wings to inventive cocktails and pickle backs, with plenty of opportunities to try something new at every stop. One ticket. Six venues. A whole lot of heat. Entry to Burn & Brine is free, but ticket holders will unlock exclusive discounts on Burn & Brine food and drink specials throughout the day, plus a complimentary Burn & Brine tote bag - perfect for filling with hot sauces, pickles and other goodies from the independent market hosted at Phillies of Shawlands. A market with a kick From 12pm to 5pm, Phillies of Shawlands will host a market celebrating independent producers of hot sauce, fermented goods and all things pickled. Confirmed vendors include Edinburgh Fermintarium, Trodden Black, Condiment Man, Pickleboxx, Craic Larder and Brine Waves, bringing their own distinctive flavours and creations to the table. Whether you’re a dedicated chilli-head, a pickle enthusiast or simply someone who likes their food with a bit of personality, it’s the perfect opportunity to discover independent makers and stock up on something special. Put your taste buds to the test For those who like a little friendly competition with their food, Burn & Brine will feature a hot sauce trail across the participating venues. Ticket holders will receive a scorecard to rate independently crafted hot sauces from each venue, with completed scorecards submitted via the Burn & Brine Instagram page or handed in at Phillies of Shawlands for marking and your chance to win a goodie bag! And for anyone who thinks they can handle the heat, the Hot Ones-inspired Hot Sauce Challenge kicks off at 3pm at Phillies of Shawlands. Brave enough to take on the challenge? Sign up on the day and put your chilli tolerance to the test for the chance to win a Burn & Brine goodie bag. No promises about your dignity surviving intact. Good food, good people, good cause Burn & Brine is about more than just great food and a bit of friendly competition. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Queens Park Govanhill Foodbank, helping support the local community while celebrating the independent businesses and producers that make Glasgow’s Southside such a brilliant place to eat, drink and spend time. So grab your pals, bring your appetite and prepare to follow your nose around the neighbourhood. Whether you’re chasing the hottest sauce, hunting down the perfect pickle or simply looking for an excuse to try six different venues in one day, Burn & Brine is bringing the flavour.
