FESTIVALS

2. Festivals
Festivals are a gathering of people in one location who share an interest with other people and a common theme. There are many types of festivals around like music, art, social issues, football, sport, rugby, trains, old car and more types of festivals. A great example of a music festival is Glastonbury.

3. Festival foods
Festivals have to sell and choose a range of different types of food for the festival customers. The majority of the food which id chosen for festivals is fast food, deep fat fried, snacks and little bites, so the customer will keep coming back to have more of that food later on. So it will allow the company who is providing the food for the festival to get more profit. The reason why the company's only sell fast food/ snack foods is so it is firstly easier and quicker to cook and serve and it is also easier to sell as it is in an ordinary fast food place like Mc Donald's or KFC.

4. The issues of selling food at a festival
There are many issues of selling food at festivals like the litter and wrappers from the food carrier and the spillages and more of the food. In festivals, the main problem that follows food is the litter from the packaging and the case of the food given. This problem with the litter being dropped causes a unhealthy and a unclean environment for the customers.

5. MY FESTIVAL (RUGBY FESTIVAL )

6. THEME AND TYPE OF FOOD FOR THE FESTIVAL
As my festival is a rugby festival, I will do food that contains a high carbohydrate, veg and protein level as this is what a professional rugby player places his diet to stay fit and healthy on. Most of my meals will be a pasta/ meat based as pasta is a great source of carbohydrate and meat is also a high source of protein. As most of my food will be pasta based, I think that my genre of food will be either Italian or indian.

7. Menus, logos, vans and food containers
For my menu, I will have a selection of Italian and Italian foods, the foods will be: lasagne, spag boll, pasta bake, curry (plain, medium, hot very hot), chilli-con-carnie, chips and maybe a few more. The food will be transported via vans and not lorries as vans take up less fuel and are quicker so the food will stay hot, the company will save money on fuel and it is more economic friendly. The Italian meals will be put in a polystyrene tray as the tray wont get hot to quickly ad it is light to carry, and the Indian meals will be put into large plastic cups so the sauce can be drank at the end and when the food gets carried by the person, it wont splash out onto other people for health and safety.

8. What's unique about the food outlet?
The unique thing about my food outlet is that the place where the food will be served will be on a bus. The ground floor on the bus will be the bar and where the food will be stored and served for people to get and the top floor will host a couple of tables so some people can eat their meal sat down, also, people with drinks can also sit down too. If the festival will be near a canal, the food outlet will be a Dutch canal boat with spacious inside to suit everything from disabled, buggies to group parties.
