As one of the fastest growing catering companies in the UK we naturally have a very busy and damn exciting summer ahead. We will be feeding some great crew and artists on what is definitely our most exciting year for festivals to date and really need to find someone who can help us spread the word

We are therefore looking for a young and gifted PR person/intern/student/fiend who can help run our (already strong) social-media accounts and write some blogs. The successful applicant will need to be a half decent photographer, a bit of a wordsmith and have a good knowledge of Instagram, Twitter and Facebook plus some SEO/Wordpress experience if possible. We get some great opportunities for some really interesting PR so this will be a delightful and fun project to work on plus of course fantastic for your CV.

Our 2016 summer tour kicks-off at Glastonbury mid-June and we will be looking for someone who can be pretty much on the road with us until mid September. As well as Glasto we will most likely be backstage catering at Boomtown, Secret Garden Party, Lovebox, Wilderness, Big Feastival, Carfest, Hampton Court Palace and Electric Picnic. We also have a couple of great surprises lined up including our first ever visit to Carfest North.

A few things to know about he job: -We are looking for team players only and the quirkier and imaginative the better. We have a large crew on site and generally everyone camps and lives together so you will definitely need not be afraid of a dodgy shower or roughing it now and again. You will be well fed and watered and whilst the work is hard we really do have a great time. The only other thing to mention is that when you’re not tweeting, blogging or spreading the word we would expect you too muck in with the rest of the crew and not be afraid of a bit of washing up or serving out the front.

Please get in touch with [email protected] ASAP via email, Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Lets see what you can do!

Well, we guess it kind of makes sense really. It’s obvious. Why the hell wouldn’t BOOMTOWN FAIR, (the UK’s fastest growing festival) choose RED RADISH, the UK’s fastest growing festival crew and artist catering company to feed and look after their hardworking troops and talent?

Yes, we are pleased to announce that yesterday it was confirmed that Red Radish will be moving to Boomtown for five weeks in the summer for what will literally be the longest we have been in one place for a couple of years.

We are looking forward to unpacking our kitchens, setting up our marquees and ‘settling’ down for just over a month of crew-catering madness at Matterley! Boomtown, the festival described by the UK’s Independent Newspaper as having a reputation for being ‘gnarly, but surprisingly polished’ (ring any bells?) started just a few years ago and literally hasn’t stopped growing since.

Boomtown Fair takes place in a specially constructed town near Winchester, spanning across eight separate ‘Districts’. This exciting festival channels all its efforts into arts, crafts, and all things creative with an eclectic mix of music that features everything from dub, roots, jungle, punk, bass music through to ska, techno and reggae.

Due to the high volumes (over 30,000) of crew and artists meals that need preparing, Red Radish will be setting up separate catering operations at either end of the amazing fictional town, that pushes the boundaries of imagination by having its own mayoral elections, passports and convoluted political history.

Also, from a more-good-news-point-of-view; if your not one of the talented artists (or insane crew working minimum 18 hour days!) for one of those ‘special wristbands’, then worry no longer, because for the first time ever you will be able to sample our delicious food out in the midst of the festival. We have an exciting little something up our sleeves for what will be our first ever venture into selling street food and Red Radish can’t wait to be amongst it even more than usual. – WATCH THIS SPACE!

2013 saw us pick up one of the most prestigious catering contracts in the industry, the European tour for Cirque du Soleil which got our production team and chefs packing our road-cases and off touring arenas all over Europe with both Dralion and Quidam. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, in early 2014 Red Radish picked up the backstage crew and artist catering contracts for the super cool Mama and Co festivals, Lovebox, Global Gathering, Somersault and the award winning Wilderness in Oxfordshire. So imagine how chuffed we all were when we found out that we had been nominated for a TPi award for Favourite International Tour Caterer. All the big names were on the list of nominees including Eat to the Beat, Global Infusion Group, Eat Your Hearts Out and even the Cirque du Soleil North American caterer Spectrum.

It was a great surprise and the perfect end to a wonderful year of work with exciting new clients and our old favourites Shangri-La and The Common at Glastonbury, plus of course Hampton Court Palace, Electric Picnic and Carfest to name but a few. Things could not seemingly get any better and then… we found out that we had been voted on to the renowned TPi awards SHORTLIST alongside established industry FAVOURITES like Aggreko, Popcorn Catering,  Gallowglass and Rock-It Cargo, plus world famous artists including Ed Sheeran and One Direction. How lucky are we!!!
