Caribbean Cooking Business - With Mobile Catering Trailer

by paul

My wife is Trinidadian and we are looking at the idea of selling Caribbean food, such as chicken/lamb curry, roti (like a nan bread), fried chicken, rice and peas all Trinidadian style and various other Caribbean food.

Obviously this would be aimed at the lunchtime/night time market.

We would need to purchase a mobile catering van with a Bain Marie with at least 4 pots; preferably 6.
we would also look at providing a couple of vegetarian meals.

I managed a restaurant for 8 years putting in place HACCP's and other legal requirements so am quiet conversed with the catering industry, but as you have already mentioned previously, our biggest quandary is finding a suitable site.

I am looking at your suggestions mentioned earlier. I feel that a market area, boot sales or sporting events may be the best place.
What’s your view on this?

Many thanks for all you assistance so far.

Regards

Paul
