Let’s face it: no one wants to spend the weekend cooking dinner.

Thankfully, there’s an abundance of delicious food trucks peppered across the length and breadth of Ireland for you to swing by, pick up some grub, and tuck into it right then and there.

Here are some of our very favourite options to choose from around the country, so whether you’re setting off on a road trip, heading to the pub, or coming home from the beach, you can enjoy a bite to eat en route.

Prátaí

A new addition alongside The Dough Bros’ pizza stand, Prátaí specialise in proper locally-sourced Irish chips. Served with your choice of homemade sauce, options include market curry mayo, bad boy burger sauce, and Harry’s Nut Butter satay, among others.
