Falkirk district cafes set to gain top honours

Falkirk and its surrounding area has some of the best cafes in Scotland, and the pick of the crop will find if they’ve won national awards glory on Wednesday.

That’s when the top contenders in the country’s cafe industry will gather at a ceremony in Glasgow to find who has won titles ranging from Most Welcoming Cafe to Best Cafe Food.

Meanwhile three local cafes are in the frame for their regions’ Cafe of the Year title, and any of these could even clinch the top national honour.
