🚚 Meadow Lane Update & A Huge Thank You! 🚚

We want to say a massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported Zeno's Red Trailer recently. We were absolutely incredibly touched to hear that the Town Council received so many positive emails from local residents backing our business and asking for us to stay on Meadow Lane. Your support means the world to us!

Following a positive meeting with the Thrapston Town Council, we are delighted to confirm that we are staying right here on Meadow Lane to keep serving you.

Watch this space—an exciting update will be available soon!

Thank you all again for your incredible support, your respect, and for being the best community a business could ask for.

See you at the trailer soon! 🌯🍔☕️

We are officially signing off to take some time to rest, relax, and recharge. We will keep you all updated right here with any news about our next steps!

Thank you all again, and see you when we get back! 😎👋

🦆We made new friends today! 🦆🐶🌿

Nature and pets always know where the best spots are!

Some people worry that a trailer might disturb the local area, but we think pictures like this show the exact opposite.

We love our local environment and take great care to respect it. Seeing these ducks feel safe and welcome right next to us is the best proof that we are doing things right.

✨ A Huge Thank You to Our Amazing Thrapston Community! ✨

We want to start by saying a massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone who came down to support us on Sunday, and to everyone who has sent such incredibly kind messages of support lately. Your loyalty and kindness mean the world to the team at Zeno's Red Trailer! 🍦❤️

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the Thrapston Town Council for their ongoing trust and communication as we work together to keep our local spaces safe, beautiful, and welcoming for everyone. Good sense, respect, and hard work are values we hold dear, and we are so proud to be part of this wonderful community.

🚨 Important Notice for Our Customers:
This coming Friday will be our last day operating before we take a short, well-deserved break to recharge our batteries!

P.S. We will miss all of our furry, four-legged customers too!

Urgent Note to Our Community Regarding Safety at Zeno's Red Trailer

We love serving this community, but about an hour ago, we experienced some unacceptable bullying and harassment from a group of teenagers at our trailer. This appears to be the same group that frequently hangs out at the local skate park and leaves a mess everywhere.

What was most concerning was that this felt entirely intentional. While regular community members were just nearby walking their dogs, the vehicle associated with this group deliberately positioned itself in the blind spot of our security cameras. Inside was an adult who sat by and chose not to intervene while the teenagers targeted us.

Good sense and respect are learned from family, and it is deeply disappointing to see an adult tolerate this kind of behaviour. We want to make it absolutely clear that we have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment.

Local authorities have just been notified of the incident. If you are a parent of this group, please talk to your teens. We want our trailer to remain a safe, welcoming spot for everyone!

To our amazing regulars—thank you for always having our back. We are standing our ground and look forward to serving you with the same pride and respect we’ve always shown.

📢 Quick update for today! Mother Nature is not cooperating. Every time I get to the trailer today, it starts raining! 🌧️

Because I can't safely run the generator in the wet weather, Zeno's Red Trailer is currently paused.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by or checked in on us. Hoping for better weather soon! Cross your fingers! 🤞❤️

⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR TODAY ⚠️
Hey everyone! We have run into a bit of a mechanical hiccup this morning—our generator has decided to take a sudden holiday and is currently faulty! 🔌❌

Because of this, Zeno's Red Trailer will be slightly delayed/closed for a little bit while we get this sorted out. We are working hard to fix the power issue so we can get back to serving you your favourites as soon as possible.

We will post another update right here the second we are up and running again! Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. See you very soon! ❤️🚚

Note: If you already know you won't be able to open at all today, you can change the last paragraph to say: "Because of this, we sadly won't be able to open today while we get a repair sorted. We will keep you updated and hope to be back open tomorrow!
