In January of 2019 we had the pleasure of catering for Hiti Ireland. This was a corperate training event hosted in Naas Ireland. The challenge for us on this event was to serve 100 Liege Waffles in 20mins and we did this with ease. Every catering event we take on is tailored to suit the each client so time, topping choices or location it’s down to you..
A day in August I recieved an email enquiring about hiring one of our waffle trucks for a film shoot. I wasn’t sure what the movie was and treated it as any other enquiry I get as we have serverd waffles at many shoots including Game of Thrones, Nightflyers and even our MK1 has starred in an advertising shoot (I didn’t make the screen!). Annnnyyhoooo…..back to this enquiry…After a few emails I got a call on a Friday afternoon while our 3 year old was in his funny half hour and was attached to my leg and I’m trying to be serious…A lovely lady called Anna said that she was the one emailing and said she would like to book and also said it’s Liam Neeson booking us as a gift to the cast and crew as a thank you…WELL after Anna said Liam Neeson (while Micah my son is attached on my leg laughing) I almost fell over. As always privacy is very important for our clients and naturally I was asked not to say to anyone until after the event….I must confess I told my wife who was as excited as me if not more…I had 5 days to keep my mouth shut and oh my was I flippin excited. That weekend we already had a big event on with MK2 but MK1 was on standby ready for action. On Saturday morning almost 1am we arrived at our film shoot location in Belfast and ready to serve for 2am. After everyone had been fed we had cleaned the trailer down and waited to see if we could meet the man himself. 5am arrived and this huge guy came walking accross the carpark saying “everyone is raving about these waffles” WOW and WOOOW!! He really wanted to get a photo with me beacause of my waffley success (JOKE LOL)….While getting a photo with him I asked are you going to Ballymena? He said he was going up to visit his mum. I told him I lived in Ahoghill just outside Ballymena and he started asking me did I know this one and this guy….Not only did he give us great business which we appreaciate from all you guys too..but he loved to have a wee chat which I love the most about my job…I love a waffle more ways than one 🙂
We had the pleasure of providing delicious waffles beside Barn & Bread at a corperate booking in Holywood just outside Belfast. This company wanted to celebrate Belgium v England in style, so when they had finisehed work they had some collegues over for a big feed and enjoyed the match together.
2018 we took another step of faith and put another trailer on the road. Of course I had already double booked a wedding and an event….nothing like a bit of preaseure to make you work faster. So with 3 weeks of purchasing another horse trailer I (with help!!) had finished the second trailer. It is slightly bigger than the first which is awesome to work in. We’ve recently had it in Troy Studios Limerick and Google Summer Party in Dublin. I just love how our business takes us all over Ireland and we get to meet some awesome people.
This has to be my favourite waffle combination, Liege waffle..fresh strawberries..biscuit..homemade sticky toffee sauce. Ok you may have issues eating this waffle in a dignified way but we just say “shove it in” and enjoy the mess.
Disclaimer: You may need extensive washing..bath or power hose after eating this waffle 🙂
These 2 waffles are our most popular waffle by far. The Liege waffle texture and taste is perfect with banana, biscuit and homemade sticky toffee sauce. Although they can be messy especially when its a wedding and the bridesmade drops it on her dress!!

Whether it’s to cater for your wedding reception or for a tasty late night snack our tasty waffles go down a treat from our quirky Food Truck. Born in Belgium and raised in Belfast, these delicious handcrafted Liege waffles are served fresh from a cleverly converted horsebox. This summer we catered at lots of weddings throughout Northern Ireland and Ireland. From being desert, afternoon and evening snacks, food trucks are very in trend we have been at a few weddings that the bride and groom have had 4 or 5 food trucks for all of the catering. So if you would like to book us for your wedding get in touch. info@bornandraisedwaffles.com
This month I was at The Farmers Market at The Inns Belfast. What a great time we had serving liege waffles to the local community. Despite the weather people came from near and far to buy some local produce, great to see so many supportive people.
Northern Ireland’s year of food and drink 2016 has kicked off. Antrim Enterpise Agency have a great networking event that they invited me to speak about my business. This event was to promote all that is good with our #artisanNI producers wihin Antrim and surrounding areas. I met some awesome people and managed to fit 6 people in our horse trailer conversion.
