Jabberwocky Festival Food Facts

  • Ever met anyone who doesn’t like toasties? Exactly. We take that one step further and make toasties that are just awesome.
  • We’ve been trading since 2011. We can now just about claim to know what we’re doing.
  • We pride ourselves on our “turning up on the day record”. If you have booked us, it will take nothing short of the engine dropping out of the van for us to cancel. Even that quite literally hasn’t stopped us in the past.
  • Sticking with the toastie theme, we’re a great option for kids, veggies and gluten free diners.
  • We trade locally, so you’re supporting a local business, local producers, attracting local customers – many good things.
  • We have a cool van. It’s called the Beast.
  • Our toasties have won us awards and we are the NOEA Caterer of the Year 2015.
  • All our packaging is biodegradable.
  • Toasties leave the hatch at an average rate of 120/hour, making us one of the fastest street food (under 6m) setups around.

Winter Trading

Today is one of those crisp winter mornings that give you hope for the year to come. The sun is shining, the skies are blue and Donald Trump is still not yet leader of the free world. On days like this it would be almost fun to be standing outside in a windswept...

Why Am I Doing This?

Having an existential crisis? Join the club. Sometimes you look at street food and have to ask “why am i doing this” so that you can answer the question and move on.
