The Glasgow Night Hike is a 10 mile festival on foot taking you through a unique night-time journey of Glasgow raising money for Maggie's Cancer Care Centres.

McGhee's are increasing their fleet of delivery vans to help provide valued customers with a faster and even more efficient service.

With the global rise in the price of the raw materials required in the baking industry, McGhee's have been resisting the building pressure to raise prices along with their competitors. They would like to assure customers that prices will be held for as long as possible but are concerned that in time it may prove difficult.

McGhee's recently held an event at our local secondary school, St Roch's Secondary, on the importance of maths and the use of math in the work place.

McGhee's recently joined forces with Pars Foods, restaurant owner Satty Singh and ex-Scotland player Kenny Dalglish for the launch of a unique new snack for hungry football fans at Hampden during the Scotland - Spain clash on on Tuesday 12, the Curry Pie!

Developed in partnership by Glasgow family businesses Mister Singh's India, McGhee's Bakery and Pars Foods, the new pastry pie "contains an authentic curry recipe (chicken ambala from the Punjab region of India) supplied exclusively by Mister Singh's India and is set to challenge the humble Scotch pie as the country's favourite snack."

The "Mister Singh's Curry Pie" will be widely available at Scottish football grounds from this Saturday while the three partners behind it also hope to take it to mass market. Satty Singh, of Mister Singh's India, said: "We all wanted to create the best possible product, which is why we have chosen to use our signature dish as the filling - the feedback so far has been fantastic. Already being served at the likes of Celtic Park, Ibrox and Firhill, the curry pie is thought to have enjoyed sales of almost 10,000 in the first two months of this season.
