If, like me, you find the lead up to Christmas a bit of a slog and you don’t really get into the spirit until the day itself – I have the answer!
These are five of my favourite food trucks across Dundee, Fife, Angus and Perthshire offering wonderful festive fillings that I’m sure will have you donning some tinsel and singing Christmas carols.
There’s something for all areas so get out there and eat your way to festive fun.
Salt & Pine, Tentsmuir Forest, Fife
Salt & Pine at Tentsmuir Forest is the ultimate festive foodie stop.
Their seasonal crepes include the indulgent Eggnog Crepe with blueberry and blackberry jam, gingerbread, custard, and meringue, or savoury options like Turkey, Brie, Cranberry, and Thyme.
My current favourite is the decadent Blue Cheese, Fig Chutney, Walnuts, and Rocket Crepe, finished with a honey drizzle.
Pair these with their luxurious Gingerbread or Mint Hot Chocolates for a mega-indulgent treat.
Afterward, enjoy a festive forest walk among dune “Christmas trees,” or let the kids enjoy the park.
