Dolly's Street Food Trolley Challenge
Calling all aspiring chefs from the age of 12 to 112
If you have a passion for food, Dolly’s Street Food Trolley Challenge could place you centre stage, serving up your own special menu at an exclusive foodie event in London. It could be the start of a whole new career!
Not only that! If you win, you’ll get the opportunity to travel to Sweden as a visitor to the European Street Food Awards final with £500 spending money.
Dolly has an exciting challenge for you
If you know Dolly, you’ll already know that she is the world’s smallest street food truck. But she is now on the look-out for some friends who are even smaller.
Yes… your challenge is to create a street-food operation, using a humble shopping trolley.
You’ll plan your own creative menu of street-food delights, which should all be cooked and served from your trolley. And you’ll have a lot of fun along the way as you build your trolley to do it!
