Unfortunately, it isn’t a permanent shop, but there WAS a Supermac’s food truck among other food and drink stalls at the Download Festival over the weekend.
The British Music Festival took place from Wednesday, June 11 to Sunday, June 16 at Donnington Park, Leicestershire, with acts including the Vengaboys, Dougie Poynter, Panic at the Bingo, and more entertaining the crowds.
The social media accounts for the festival say they are the UK’s biggest rock and metal festival, and a quick look on social media showed plenty of Irish music fans travelling to Leicestershire for the annual event.
While those going to the festival would have attended to see some of their favourite acts, the Irish contingent would have been delighted to see a familiar face in the shape of a bright red van.
Beloved fast food restaurant Supermac’s made the trip to the UK and set up a food truck to nurse any hungover heads over the weekend.
Festival attendee Blayne Hosey took to the video-sharing app TikTok to share his reaction at the food establishment being in the UK.

"Tell me you’re Irish without telling me you’re Irish," the video started with Blayne walking through the field and spying the Supermac’s truck.
"It can’t be, not here in the UK," he says in disbelief. "She’s beautiful."
Fellow TikTok users took to the comments in agreement with Blayne, with one writing: "God Bless you Pat McDonagh [the company's owner]"
Another added: "Next year, get me a Centra on site. Chicken fillet roll would solve any download hangover. [sic]"
A third commented: "Oh please, I need Supermacs to actually come to the UK. [sic]"
