…we had our first ever day of trading as Tigellae!
Back in July 2014 we’d just finished work on our kitchen, we’d received our 5-star food hygiene rating, we’d given the Vanstaurant its first ever makeover and we were ready to go. We decided, so that it was easy for the people we cared about to come and try our food for the first time, to trade locally outside Casa Tigellae, our official base in Hyde, Greater Manchester.
For our very first menu, we served handmade pizza, riso freddo (summery Italian rice salad) and tiny cannoli for dessert. Lots of our friends did come down and see us and they loved our food, especially the margherita pizza! After four days of trading outside Casa Tigellae, we were happy with how things had started but were very aware that this was just a trial run. Bigger and more exciting adventures were to come!
Fast-forward 3 years and we’ve definitely found our feet. We now specialise in colourful, flavoured fresh pasta which we couldn’t be more proud of, and we’ve created an entire range of tiramisu which is unlike anything else you’ll find on a food truck in the UK. We’ve got some brand new menus for private events, built a mobile bar and also have plans for a brand new venture which we’ll tell you all about soon.
This is what we looked like in July 2014…
…and this is what we look like now!
See you soon!
