A popular Glasgow coffee shop chain is planning to open a deli on Pollokshaws Road.
Grain and Grind has asked Glasgow City Council for permission to change the use of its Strathbungo venue, from a “coffee shop/sandwich bar” to a “hot food takeaway”.
A menu submitted with the plans shows ‘The Original Queens Deli’ will serve breakfast muffins, toasties and hot and cold rolls.

The application adds the change of use at 742 Pollokshaws Road would “introduce an additional eating option to the area”.
It states: “Over the last few years this area of Pollokshaws Road and Nithsdale Road has developed into a thriving popular hub with a range of bars, diners, coffee shops and artisan shops, all of which has created a vibrant and dynamic local environment which has become a very popular destination to residents and visitors alike.”
Plans submitted on behalf of Grain and Grind add the change is “a use that would generally be considered compatible within a town centre”. “Subject to the appropriate measures to address noise, cooking fumes and refuse, such uses can make a positive contribution to the appeal and enjoyment of the town centre,” they add.
An extraction flue would be installed as part of the conversion to a hot food takeaway. However, the interior “will remain relatively unchanged”.
The application states the anticipated opening hours will be 8am to 11pm from Monday to Thursday and 8am to midnight on Friday and Saturday, which are “in line with other premises in the locality”.
Grain and Grind opened its first coffee shop in Battlefield and now has eight locations across Glasgow and Inverness.
