Coffee & food trailer suppliers in
Sligo town.

Sligo town is the urban anchor for the Yeats Country tourism circuit — Strandhill surfing scene, Rosses Point golf + beach, Lough Gill, and the Coney Island weekend trade. The food-trailer + coffee-van scene is led by Koha Street Kitchen + GG's Food Truck at Rosses Point + a strong weekend-market presence. Casual trading via Sligo County Council. Sligo sits a long way from Dublin commercially — most supplier relationships run along the Atlantic corridor into Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Galway rather than east.
