HARRISONBURG — A local food truck owner who opened a restaurant has begun offering catering and event-planning services.

Diane Roll, owner of Dayton Tavern and the Mama’s Caboose food truck, recently announced that the two businesses have teamed to form Dayton Catering Co. & Event Planning. The enterprise offers services ranging from pick-up and drop-off orders to full-service catering.

Using Mama Caboose’s mobile kitchen, the business can provide custom catering services that offer plated dinners at just about any location. Pat Emmons, who has more than 40 years of culinary experience, is the head chef of Dayton Catering Co., with Rachal Paxson-Dellinger its lead catering coordinator.

Roll founded Mama’s Caboose in 2011 and opened Dayton Tavern in February. Her three businesses employ more than 12 people full- and part-time.
