Our Story

Grate Expectations was born from a love of good food and a belief that comfort food should be anything but ordinary. From day one, the vision was simple: create Mac & Cheese that’s indulgent, full of flavour, and always made with care.

Our stylish trailer, packed with character and charm, travels across Dorset and beyond — bringing cheesy goodness to weddings, festivals, and celebrations of all kinds.

Because it’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Gooey, warming, and always welcome, Mac & Cheese has a way of making people smile. We wanted to take that classic comfort food and give it a twist: rich Dorset cheeses, handcrafted toppings, and bold flavour combinations that elevate every bite.

From tangy pickled onions to slow-cooked Hula pulled pork, every bowl is a mix of comfort and creativity - and yes, we’ve got a plant-based version that’s just as moreish too.
