The man behind the waffles is Ian Carr, Director of Luxury Jersey Dairy Ice Cream, who currently operates The Waffle Wagon.

He has assured islanders that this mobile business, which often attracts lengthy queues, will remain on the road at various locations across the island after the new restaurant opens.
“It should have been open three weeks ago,” Mr Carr said, after explaining that he was waiting for new signage and freezers before opening the doors.
The handover from previous owners Junction Jersey has happened fast, with the property sold at the end of June, and all paperwork completed by mid-July.
Mr Carr said that since he started The Waffle Wagon in January 2021, “I’ve been perfecting my recipe, changing things up a little bit, getting things right, using the right waffle irons, and now I’m ready. Now it’s all come together.”
Usually situated along the Five Mile Road at St. Ouen’s Bay, where he is busy at weekends, Mr Carr said the town location will allow him to be “a lot busier during the week”.
He also gave a hint about menu updates customers can expect.

“Going into the winter, we will be adding savoury waffles to our menu. There’s lots to come,” he teased.
