South Shields
We are a family-run street food company supplying high-quality food units to events and festivals across the UK and Ireland. With years of experience on the festival circuit, we continuously develop new menus, concepts, and immersive food experiences designed to suit a wide range of audiences and event styles.
We operate year round. Our summer season is focused on major festivals, racecourses, music events, and sporting fixtures, while our winter season is proudly spent trading at the Christmas Markets.
To meet the varied requirements of different events, we offer a diverse fleet of food units, each designed to suit specific aesthetics, capacities, and operational needs.
Vintage food trucks provide a striking retro look that draws attention and creates a memorable talking point for customers.
Marquee and build-up setups are ideal for events seeking a rustic, handcrafted feel.
Converted shipping containers are purpose-built for high-output, high footfall events, allowing us to maintain excellent food quality while delivering fast service and manageable queue times.
New for this year, we are launching our Travelling Greek Taverna, a converted shipping container currently being built in collaboration with a London based stage set builder. Designed as a fully immersive experience, the unit recreates the atmosphere of a traditional Greek taverna, combining authentic food with detailed theming to enhance the overall event environment.
We have proudly traded at some of the UK and Ireland’s most respected events, including Glastonbury Festival, the British Grand Prix, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Reading Festival, Electric Picnic, the Royal Highland Show, the Great Yorkshire Show, and Badminton Horse Trials, among many others.
Our focus is simple: great food, strong branding, efficient service, and visually striking units that elevate every event we attend.
Inclusivity sits at the heart of our business. All of our menus are designed to offer a broad and balanced range of options, with vegan and vegetarian dishes available across every concept we operate.
All units are built with allergen awareness at the forefront. Menus are clearly structured and labelled, enabling our teams to confidently accommodate the majority of dietary and allergy requirements while maintaining efficient service in high-footfall environments.
Accessibility is carefully considered across our fleet. This includes lowered service counters on container units to support wheelchair access, large-format menus with a minimum font size of 18 positioned at accessible heights, and clear, simple menu layouts to assist customers with visual or cognitive impairments.
Our aim is to ensure every customer can order confidently, comfortably, and independently, regardless of dietary needs or access requirements.
Sustainability is embedded throughout our operation, from menu development to day-to-day trading. Wherever possible, we prioritise locally sourced ingredients to reduce food miles while supporting regional suppliers.
Our sustainability initiatives include local sourcing across the UK and Ireland, seasonal menu planning to minimise waste, reduced food miles through consolidated deliveries and regional sourcing, compostable or recyclable packaging across all units, on-site waste separation for recycling and food waste, portion control and prep planning to reduce overproduction, energy-efficient catering equipment, and reusable, long-life infrastructure designed for years of use.
We continually review and improve our practices to meet the evolving sustainability standards expected by event organisers, local authorities, and customers.
