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.

10 Years of Jabberwocky

The Beginning of Time Every story starts in all sorts of places, but the winding tale of the Jabberwocky has one undeniable beginning: when on this day, 10 years ago, we brought home the vehicle that would go on to become the Beast. It doesn't feel that long ago, but...

Still Catering During Coronavirus

Here we are, two weeks into lockdown, and the weather for the festival season couldn't be more promising. But that's beside the point. This is not about a festival season lost, this is about new opportunities found and about what you as a business can do to keep...

Buying Second Hand Equipment

There are two good reasons for buying second hand equipment: It's cheaper and it's less wasteful. Waste sucks, and street food, bless it, has a tendency to produce lots and lots of waste if you're not careful. Still, the cost is probably why you're here, unless you're...
