Festival Food Stalls Ideas for the Next Festival Season

Festivals are simply made for food stalls. If you have a food stall or other mobile catering business, there is no better place than to sell your food at festivals to festival-goers.

Whether it be music festivals, food festivals or any other kind of festival, festivals are a great opportunity to set up a food stall and start making a profit. Everyone who attends festivals will appreciate good festival food stalls with all the festival food classics to top off a great experience.

Food Stalls at Festivals

Having a food stall at a festival is a great way to find trade and earn money. Thousands of people gathered in a field for 2-4 days need to be fed. What better way to serve your food to people than that, at a summer festival?

Food stalls are easy to put together and easy to transport, they are relatively light and need little to no maintenance to operate successfully.

You can buy your own food stall or you can easily hire a food stall for a season, such as the UK’s festival season during the spring/summer time. Food stalls are extremely versatile and a great money maker if you have a catering business.

Even if you have a local catering business, why not branch out and take your business on the road to showcase your food and what you can do all over the country during the festival period?

This can be a great way to get your business’s name out there and it will also be lots of fun too. Not to mention that the recognition you gain at festivals may lead to you getting booked for private parties or events too!

Great Food Stall Ideas for the Next Festival Season

Why not plan ahead? Gather your ideas now and put together your business plan for the type of food stall or truck you are going to create and one that you can pitch up at next year’s festivals.

You even have time to experiment and play around with recipes and flavours and come up with a foolproof menu that is sure to sell to the masses. Below you will find some more ideas and great inspiration.

Toasties

A toastie stall can be the ultimate comfort food. Who doesn’t love a warm toastie – especially when you wake up a bit worse for wear? Most people love a good toastie and so you will surely be onto a winner with this one.

Simple, quick and easy to make, this would make a great idea to sell on a food stall. You don’t have to overcomplicate things with this one. Give people a few options and do them well. Sometimes people want familiarity when they are at a festival, and having the perfect toastie will be like home away from home.

Pizza

Pizza is the ideal food for people on the go, and is loved by everyone. Pizza is a winner, always! Serve by the slice or as a whole, we are sure you will have people queuing up. Pizza can be created fairly quickly, good news for those waiting in a queue or that could be put off by a queue.

Create pizza as authentic as possible, and invest in a pizza oven to create that perfect stone-baked base. You have time to perfect the pizza toppings you are going to offer and always bear in mind your costs. Pizza can be a crowded market sometimes, so make sure the pizza you are serving up is a solid 5 stars!

Mac and Cheese

Another festival favourite, this carby goodness will have passers-by salivating at the sight and smell. Satisfy the festival goers’ cravings with a few different options so you can appeal to as many people as you can. Include all the classic toppings on your menu, including bacon bits, onions etc. whilst pimping out other options with some unique toppings too. Perhaps include a vegan cheese option to entice the vegan market as well.

Yorkshire Pudding Wraps

Fill people up with a hearty meal such as a Yorkshire pudding wrap. Meat, veg, gravy – all wrapped up in a handy-to-eat, yet delicious Yorkshire pudding wrap. This type of food has it all; goodness, protein, carbs and vitamins and minerals. The ultimate hangover cure!

A Yorkshire pudding wrap stall may require slightly more work, preparation and ingredients than your simpler toastie stall. However, you are sure to reap the benefits of selling Yorkshire pudding wraps at a UK festival. Not to mention that this is basically a traditional British dinner all combined within one convenient wrap. Delicious!

Noodles

Asian noodles are also a winning formula when it comes to the festival season. Noodles are enjoyed by many, and they are quick and simple to cook and serve. They are also packed with fantastic, healthy ingredients including lots of vegetables and proteins.

Allow people to choose from a range of ingredients or let them customise their own if you have the capacity. This way they will be able to create their own perfect noodle bowl which will be hard to resist.
