I did not expect to be charged £20 for two just to drive in here. Clearly the owners don't miss an opportunity to fleece folks. In our case it won't happen twice. It was £20 for two tickets but we didn't get tickets.
So we only pulled in here to try Melissa McCabe's food. She is the owner of the Feast food truck and the Northern Ireland winner of the Northern Ireland heat of the Great British Menu.
Hers was one of a few food trucks set up at the front of the house - there was a pizza food van but the options were all meat; no fish and a garlic bread option. The pizzas averaged £10 with most served with hot honey. The garlic bread was £7.
There was a superb coffee truck: Arcade. I had a cortado (£2.9) and it was so good I got another one 20 minutes later. My wife said her cappuccino was delicious.
There was a large food truck offering fish tacos but didn't list the type of fish; brisket was on the menu with pepper sauce. I looked at a sauce being poured over food and it looked to me like curry sauce but I couldn't see curry on the menu so I assumed rightly or wrongly it was the pepper sauce and avoided it.
So Ms Mc Cabe had three offerings including her fish course from the competition - river trout two ways - barbecued with a crispy charcoal skin and cured in herbs and poitín.
Today she served the trout on her stout - flavoured soda bread brushed with apple treacle, then topped with crème fraiche and salmon eggs. It was superb.
She told us where she would be cooking on Easter Monday and it won't cost us £20.
Having paid £20 we took a look around the house. I can assure anyone wishing to visit its not worth £10 a head. There's a few photos attached here and these are the best of it.
When I was ordering food my wife took our dogs for a walk and as she walked them she was approached for £10.
If I was one of the food truck owners I wouldn't be pleased as I've no doubt the £10 a head charge was a deterrent - no doubt the food truckers had to pay to be there too. read more
