UK Crew Catering Menu ideas for the hungry!
Let’s set the scene: You are away from your family, living in an often wet and cold UK field, whilst working sixteen hour days setting up a festival with a team of other crew. The work can be very physically demanding and the three things you need to be able to rely are a brilliant breakfast, a hearty lunch and a great dinner. Catering is quite simply HUGE! How many festival organisers have experienced the wrath of a burly scaff or sparks who are not getting enough good quality food to eat. Everyone know horror stories of poor crew catering and how it can upset the whole spirit of a team who are usually working almost around the clock to make sure everything is ready for the thousands of festival goers and artists who are expecting everything backstage to be perfect for their arrival. These boys and girls had better be getting their carbs or else!
Below is just one sample of a crew catering menu that we will be running at this year’s Glastonbury festival. We can adapt our choices and prices to suit every crew catering requirement and budget so please do get in touch if you would like more information.
