I have written a lot of words about the events that might need catering. From the large to the small, from the happy to the sad, from the party to the personal, but one thing I have never really touched on is how festivals consider their catering because it is a very unusual one compared to the rest of the events I have discussed at length on these pages.
Festivals are often welcoming tens of thousands of people through their doors and there is no catering company on earth that could handle that level of people, that sheer volume of hunger, on its own. Instead these festivals welcome a number of companies; from restaurants to festival exclusive companies that only operate smaller stalls at festivals around the country instead of opening a central location. This means that the food on offer is eclectic; all kinds of cuisine from all over the world that caters to all types of people. Festivals have had to adapt as the population has grown.
