Ahead of summer, searches for ‘food vans near me’ have increased by 22% while #foodvan has over 7.5 million views on TikTok.

Mrs Falafel came in at number eight with their middle eastern cuisine a popular choice with Glasgow foodies.

The vendor recently opened a second stop in a Police Box in the Botanic Gardens but can also be found at 1 Ashley Street (just off Woodlands Road).

Dough Man's Land came in at number 10 with their woodfired pizzas. Their trailer can be found on Derby Street in Finnieston for anyone that hasn't been lucky enough to try one of their delicious pizzas yet.

Sam Ward, Managing Director at Vansdirect, said: "There’s no denying that the UK has an amazing food scene and restaurant culture. However, our research shows that food vans are not to be sniffed at when it comes to trying delicious, quality dishes – and not to mention photogenic food too!

“From specialist vegan vans to authentic Middle Eastern food, our research shows the sheer variety of cuisines on offer at the nation’s most popular food vans. Whether you’re planning a staycation to another UK city or exploring your own hometown, it’s well worth searching on social media for the best food vans and street food spots to find casual, convenient, and Instagrammable places to eat.”
