No prizes for guessing that you can get Crepes 2 Go from these mobile trailers, but there are crepes and there are crepes.
These are the real deal. A family-run business since 2009, Alan and Elaine swirl the freshly made batter onto a skillet and the resulting crepes are filled or folded and topped for the happy customer to eat straight away.
They believe you can’t make good crepes without good quality eggs, whole milk and flour. Local suppliers include Dale Farm, Skea eggs and Neill’s Flour.
Sweet or savoury fillings include banana, Nutella and white chocolate buttons and also ham, cheese, eggs and peppers.
They cater for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets.
Sustainability is paramount for generations to follow, so they don’t use plastic, only fully biodegradable packaging.
Newtownabbey is their base, but the trailers can be hired for events and occasions.
You might know Head Chef Jonny Clarke from his restaurant The Holestone in Ballymoney. His food is so popular he has to take it out on the food for events and parties.
As with the restaurant he is a stickler for local produce, so whatever you get from the newly refurbished trailer will be made with ingredients like Keenan’s Seafood, North Down vegetables and his own bread.
He is a big fan of healthy eating so you won’t be blowing the diet if you don’t want to.
They do weddings, birthdays, celebrations, larger parties and events. They strive to accommodate everyone they can – gluten free, lactose free, nut allergens, vegetarian, vegan and any other requirements.
For locally-sources mini treats, look no further than Kelugo’s or Cubo as the name on their mobile food truck goes. They specialize in hot mini donuts and waffles topped with fresh fruit and toppings.
Local producers used include Castlescreen Farm, Draynes Farm and Papas Mineral Company.
Milkshakes are made to order with local milk and ice-cream and flavourings such as Elderflower, Raspberry and Lime. They also do fresh lemonades.

Ice cream on wheels is not a new thing, but what if that ice-cream were Betty’s and the wheels were a self-contained trailer unit? Now, you’re talking!
Marta Majer owns this family-run business where amazing home-made ice cream from Betty’s is sold along with brownies, waffles and slushies. They are always served with a smile.
