Libertine rolls out custom-made food truck
The truck was inspired by the film ‘Chef’.
Libertine announced the roll out of a brand-new, all-American food truck to the UK street food scene.
Custom-made in Canada by Apollo Food Trucks and then shipped to the UK, the retro-fitted Ford F59 truck made its debut outing at Big Feastival, Cotswolds last 27 to 29 August.
The van will then tour the UK throughout the summer, and then again ahead of Christmas and New Year.
“My inspiration for the truck came after an amazing trip to New York. Seeing the extent of the street food scene there was totally eye-opening. I realised the UK had a long way to go to catch up. I love the energy, joy and mood the street food vendors bring to the city. After watching the film ‘Chef’ I was even more sure that we should go ahead and make the investment to bring our own American-style truck to the UK,” Libertine founder Charles Harris said.
The van boasts a state-of-the-art kitchen including a Magi-Kitch’n grill, Vulcan fryers and True Refrigeration, with space for up to six chefs plus front of house staff.
