Accip74 7,112 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) I'm guessing it's pretty big in the uk now, but food truck events here have really took off in recent years......fast becoming our favourite way to eat out.... This wkend was my local little towns second food truck festival. What a fcuking great way to spend the afternoon with the family! Numerous different types of cuisine, such as thai food, Nepalese, Mexican, sea food, spanish tapas, the usual burgers etc & fish/chips done by a dutch food truck, that rivals anything I've had in England......;-) .....plus drinks & live music....What's not to like?? Are you experiencing this? If so.....what's your favourite food at such events? Edited September 17, 2017 by Accip74 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 50,237 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 That sounds brilliant mate, Galway had a few when I was there in the summer but I can't say as it's a thing I have heard much about. As you say, seems like a great way to spend an afternoon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose it's been around a while now, but seems to of really took off here through the summer months........A perfect way to eat a bit of this & that for the same money as sitting down in a half decent restaurant.....:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,945 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Have loads at Royal Cornwall Show and other shows/events. Mostly overpriced poor quality fast food, selling the promise. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,639 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Got something similar here.., just minus the wheels. We call them restaurants ? They sound like a good idea for taking food out into the sticks though, where options to eat out are maybe a bit more limited. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, there's a diner about 20 miles in the other direction. I posted that at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon. Eating out would probably be 60 mile round trip as a minimum.

I eat out a couple of times a week. More so when I'm in Vegas but going out just to eat isn't something I do very often at all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
