Where does the name come from?
Knockananna (Cnoc an Eanaigh)…
means “the hill of the marsh”, and is the area in Ireland’s County Wicklow near where Deb’s grandfather (Herb Wilson) was born. Herb celebrated his 99th birthday the same week we “opened the doors” of the first phase of the Grill in 2009, so the name seemed fitting. He was one of the best cooks we know (and for a brief time in the 1950’s he and Deb’s grandmother operated a diner in East Vancouver, “The Rodo Lunch” on Nanaimo St & Charles St). His cooking style was the reason we choose to prepare as much as possible using real, fresh, unprocessed, and local foods!
Gourmet on the Go
Our truck is more than just a place to grab lunch. It is a place to try out creative twists (with an Irish theme) on food truck classics, using local fresh ingredients.
On the Waterfront
We bring great food to the seaside in Qualicum Beach. Our calendar below shows our schedule, but be sure to follow our social media for special events!
