It was a great weekend with perfect weather and lots of happy Spud’eads skating and munching.

We will be open this weekend Friday 5-10pm, Saturday 10-10pm, and Sunday 10-6pm.  The weather looks great for skating, walking and people watching on the ice….the worlds largest skating rink.

Grab a spud or wedges, a hot chocolate with marshmallows, hot apple cider (real cider, not powder!) from our friends at  Hall’s Apple Market  or fresh fair trade coffee and enjoy the fresh air!

Hope to see you on the canal!

Not sure timing yet…it’s all been a rush to get organized.

The truck and baking oven will be there, baking and wedging, plus hot/cold drinks…hot chocolate, coffee, tea, hot apple cider, etc.

In the mean time check out the NCC website for up to date info.

Stay tuned and watch this space….

Non-stop from April til October! 

Next year is already shaping up to be as busy, with invitations to participate in events arriving regulary in our inbox. 

Our regular season has come to end apart for the 4 Christmas Markets.   Excited!

 The school hot lunch program is well underway, supplying spuds and salads to schools in and around Ottawa. 

Spudding moves inside…

This will be interesting and a challenge moving inside for the first time.  We will be at the Ottawa Farmers’ Market Christmas Market 4 Sundays inside the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park. 

Not able to cook inside the building, we will have our truck at Lansdowne Park, cooking and preparing the spuds and wedges.

Expect between 83 and 100 vendors from the OFM and invited vendors from other farmers’ markets from around the region.

Music, carollers, cooking demos, gift wrappers, and Christmas spirit inside the Aberdeen Pavilion.  A natural home for the Ottawa Farmers’ Market!

We are pumped and primed and excited to be at this (these) markets and hope to see you there.  If you go, drop by and say hello!

It’s another DOUBLE SPUDDING weekend for this Spud’ead!

Saturday, Sunday and Monday the truck will be at the >>> Canada’s Agricultural Museum

Sunday the oven will be at the >>> Ottawa Farmers’ Market 

So keep those shorts and flipflops handy for one more weekend!

It’s a smallish country fair, in it’s 155th year.   We like this particular fair because it’s our “local fair”, just 10 minutes away.  So, we see alot of people we know and catch up on gossip and local news.

We will also be at the Ottawa Farmers’ Market on Sunday from 8am to 3pm….double spudding weekend!

With the weather cooling down, our menu changes to warm toppings on the spuds like our world famous veggie chili and hot apple cider from Hall’s Apple Market.

Hope to see you at either event, drop by and hi!

On Sunday we will also be at the Ottawa Farmers’ Market at Lansdowne Park…a double spudding weekend for sure.  The weather looks great, so come out to either site and say hello.

Exciting news…Sunday in the Ottawa Citizen, we will be featured in The Style magazine in an article on food trucks in Ottawa.  Thanks Jenn Cox for the opportunity.

Other media news…if you missed our interview on CBC radio in August, here it is  CBC interview.

Even though the summer is winding down, we aren’t….there’s still plenty of events and locations to keep us busy until Christmas…stay tuned.

We open tomorrow, Thursday, at 5.00pm at the all new and improved Ottawa Folk Festival.   Friday 5pm til 11pm, Saturday and Sunday 12noon til 11pm.

We’ll miss the location (Britannia Park), quirkiness and atmosphere of past folk festivals, but after walking around the grounds at Hogs Back Park, feel this new management knows their business…Bluesfest Lite!

The food vendor lineup is varied and interesting this year.  You won’t be disappointed.

We will be serving baked potatoes and wedges with anything you want on them along with organic salads, fresh squeezed lemonade and ice cold fresh apple cider from Hall’s Apple Market from the Ottawa Farmers’ Market. 

Speaking of which, we will be open at the farmers’ market at Lansdowne Park this Sunday as well (double spudding Sunday).

Hope to see you at either or both events.  Drop by and say hi!

Two of our favorite events in one weekend…the weather and masses of happy people couldn’t have been better.   62 pipe and drum bands, about 1400 people, playing and marching together, gives this Spud’ead goose bumps!

                                                                                                                                                                                              This Sunday is the First Annual Ice Cream Festival at Canada’s Agricultural Museum at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa.

There will be ice cream, cow to cone, milking, gelato and yoghurt, bees, and firesafety demos…plus The Hot Potato Co. will be scooping ice cream, squeezing fresh lemonade and baking spuds and wedges.

So come out and learn all about the connection between ice cream and farming!

- Canada Day – what a day! what a weekend!   We pulled off a triple header…the truck was on Parliament Hill on Canada Day, the oven was at the Agricultaural Museum for the weekend, and we then did our usual Sunday at the Ottawa Farmer’ Market at Lansdowne Park.   It was a blast!   We had a great crew, great customers and we thank you all!!!

- we continue to do the Ottawa Farmers’ Market at Lansdowne Park on Sundays, and enjoy seeing our regulars and new customers.

This weekend we travel with the truck out of Ottawa to the town of Perth, Ontario to participate in the Stewart Park Festival.  It’s a weekend of free music, good food, artisan market, activities, all set in the beautiful Stewart Park by the river, in Heritage Perth.  

Our 2 daughters will be handling things at the Ottawa Farmers’ Market on Sunday.   Drop by and say hello!

Next stop will be one of our favorites the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville, Ontario.

Its Westfest time and we will be there…June 11 and 12 in the Village of Westboro along Richmond Road.  Music (Bif Naked main act), events, activities for the kids, food, shopping, and its all free to get in!

PLUS we will have our truck at its first inaugural event all primed and ready to go!

Expect our usual menu of baked potatoes, wonderful wedges (potatoes and SWEET potatoes) fair trade organic coffee from Happy Goat Coffee Company and fresh squeezed lemonade.
