When it comes to selling food at a summer fair, it is important that you sell food that everyone enjoys. It is good to offer a variety of foods so that everyone has the option to choose something they like.
Summer fairs are a time for sugary and fatty foods – and yes we know that this isn’t the healthiest option, but what’s so bad about treating yourself every once in a while? I’m sure you deserve it! Now, don’t go anywhere as we are about to give you a few ideas of popular foods you can sell at a summer fair!
I don’t know about you, but I believe that a summer fair is not complete without ice cream! Picture this, it’s a hot summer day and you are too warm, you don’t know what to do to cool down… but then you spot an ice cream stall!
You are guaranteed to attract customers on a hot day if you are selling ice cream. People will be getting hot and tired after exploring the fair all day, so what better way to cool down and relax other than treating yourself to ice cream?
Cold drinks such as lemonade, Coke, Fanta, water, fresh orange, and much more are extremely popular when selling drinks at a summer fair. What better way to hydrate other than grabbing a refreshing drink and relaxing?
Here at Big Kahuna, we feel that it is essential to sell drinks at your food stall as pretty much everyone will be feeling thirsty walking around the fair and in need of something to drink.
Hot dogs are a very popular dish for fairs as they are quick and easy to prepare and pretty much everyone loves them!
A BBQ is also a very popular dish as there is a variety of food that you can cook. From burgers to sausages, a BBQ is a great way to offer a range of food in a small time frame as you can cook different types of meat on the grill at once!
Now, come on – you can’t go wrong with pizza! Pizza is also a very popular dish for fairs and ideal for serving outdoors. Pair it with a cool beverage and you have yourself a perfect summer meal!
Although it’s summer, pizza is still a popular dish as it’s something everybody enjoys due to the variety of toppings available.
These are just a few of the many popular recipes you can sell at a summer fair, from cookies to churros and crepes the ideas are endless. So, hire one of our stalls today and begin your journey in growing your business and receiving sales!
When you are selling food at a stall, it is important to make your stall stand out. What makes your stall unique? Why should people attend your stall? We are going to go through the different ways that you can make your stall attract customers as well as stand out from the rest.
Firstly, you should consider the design of your stall. Does it correctly show what you are selling? Do you have your business’s name showing so people know who you are and what it is you are selling?
Get a menu for your stall – this will allow customers to understand what it is you are selling and will make it much easier for you. This is because you can list the prices and types of food you are selling at your stall.
Here at Big Kahuna, we offer a range of accessories available for you to hire. From wipeable menu boards to branded pavement signs and feather flags, we have it all. For more information on what accessories we offer make sure to click the link provided above.
Here at Big Kahuna, we have a variety of different stalls available to hire. From stalls, huts, gazebos, mobile bars, and kiosks we have it all. Our most popular huts for fairs or festivals are kiosks or stalls.
