On Food Trailers Marketplace, which lists Irish food trailer suppliers nationwide, from Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford to every county in between. Browse by category or filter by county to find suppliers near you.

Coffee trailer operators in Ireland find espresso machines, grinders, beans, syrups, takeaway cups and other consumables from the suppliers listed on Food Trailers Marketplace.

Yes. Registering, listing, browsing and contacting are free: there are no platform fees, no commission and no transaction charges, and suppliers can post unlimited listings. Two optional extras are paid: the Verified badge for suppliers, and one-off listing promotions that show a listing in the Promoted listings rows.

The Verified badge is optional. Suppliers pay €10 a month or €100 a year (about 17% less), upload their CRO or VAT certificate, and our admin team checks it by hand, usually within 24 working hours. Approved suppliers get a ✓ Verified badge on every listing and on their profile.

Anything that keeps a coffee or food trailer running, new or used: commercial catering equipment (fryers, griddles, ovens, bain-maries), coffee equipment (espresso machines, grinders, brewers), beans and ingredients, takeaway packaging and disposables, refrigeration, generators and gas, signage, marketing and branding, parts, and complete trailers. Every category is listed at foodtrailersmarketplace.com/categories.

All 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland: Carlow, Cavan, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Leitrim, Limerick, Longford, Louth, Mayo, Meath, Monaghan, Offaly, Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary, Waterford, Westmeath, Wexford and Wicklow. Northern Ireland is not covered: it is a separate legal jurisdiction, where food businesses register with district-council Environmental Health instead of the FSAI, street trading is licensed under different rules and trade is in GBP. All prices on the platform are in EUR and all guidance follows Irish law.

Yes. Suppliers list new and used coffee, burger, pizza and crepe trailers, horsebox conversions, Airstream-style catering trailers, and turnkey food businesses with established locations, equipment and customers. To buy, browse the trailer categories. To sell, post in the category that fits best and say in the description whether the sale includes goodwill, location rights or stock.

Open any listing or supplier profile and use the WhatsApp, email or phone button. There is no in-platform messaging: you contact the supplier directly, the way the trade works, and you do not need an account to browse or get in touch.

Immediately. Register, click the confirmation link in the email we send, and your profile and listings are public from that moment. Free accounts need no admin approval; only the optional Verified badge is reviewed by our team.

Used coffee trailers and food trailers in Ireland typically range from €5,000 for older horsebox conversions to €25,000+ for fully fitted-out custom builds. New made-to-order trailers from Irish builders usually start around €18,000 and can exceed €40,000 for premium fit-outs. Browse current trailer listings on Food Trailers Marketplace to see live Irish-supplier prices in your area.

Yes. Food trailers in Ireland must be registered with the local Environmental Health Office of the Local Authority where the business is based, comply with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) regulations, and the operator usually needs an HACCP-aligned food-safety qualification. If you trade on public land or at events you typically also need casual trading or event-specific permits from the relevant council.

Standard cover includes public liability (typically €6.5 million minimum for events in Ireland), product liability, employers' liability if you have staff, motor insurance covering the trailer in transit, and equipment cover. Several Irish brokers specialise in mobile-catering policies: search "mobile catering insurance Ireland" or browse the relevant suppliers on Food Trailers Marketplace.

Email info@foodtrailersmarketplace.com from the account email address requesting deletion. We will permanently delete your supplier profile, all your listings, all uploaded images, and your user account within 7 working days. If you have an active Verified subscription, it is cancelled at the same time, so you are not charged again; unused time is not refunded. Your data is hosted in the EU and handled under GDPR.

Each supplier handles payment directly with the operator; Food Trailers Marketplace does not process transactions. Common methods used by Irish trailer suppliers include bank transfer (SEPA), card (via the supplier's own merchant), Revolut, cash on collection, and finance or leasing for larger trailer purchases. Confirm payment options with the supplier before agreeing a deal.

Food Trailers Marketplace is built for Ireland, so we ask suppliers to be Irish-registered (CRO/VAT) or to have an Irish service base. EU and UK suppliers serving the Irish market through an Irish entity, distributor or sales rep are welcome. The platform is not designed for general international listings.

Email info@foodtrailersmarketplace.com with the listing URL and a brief description of the issue. Our admin team reviews flagged listings within 24 working hours and can suspend the supplier account, remove individual listings, or revoke a Verified badge if confirmed. We take safety, scams, and misrepresentation seriously.

It depends on the supplier. Some Irish suppliers list VAT-inclusive (gross) prices and some list ex-VAT (net) prices, so always confirm with the supplier before agreeing a deal. No VAT is added to the Verified subscription, since the platform operator is below the Irish VAT registration threshold.
