Hi all, what food do you feel is missing from Rockness if anything? A mate is planning trading and is wondering what to offer? was thinking about Curries, macaroni, and some sweet treats. ?
what does everyone think?

[theampersanddevil]

I know that last year was really crap for vegi food, so a place that did a vegi curry would be good. More than one would be awesome. There is a highland macaroni place, i don't like it but i seem to be in the minority.

Not sure about meaty stuff cos I don't eat it.

He was thinking a couple of veggie options, and also veggies sausages as well as an option at breakfast time.

Something thats cheaper than the other stands would be great.

I was standing at the football today and was thinking that a stand with these cups of bovril would be brilliant! could also do soup, teas, coffees etc I suppose! pastries as well would be good sausage rolls pies etc! anything over £2 for a bovril and you will safely not get my business

maybe good if it was cold, not so good if it is 25 degrees

He does want to keep prices down he says he could sleep at night if he was charging £5 for a burger! what are the prices like normally are they really high? really dont want to be ripping people off and was thinking a decent sized bowl of curry with pitta breads about £4

[Gothenburg83]

£4 would be pretty reasonable! you can get noodles at RN for £7 which is fucking nuts

[bonsai13a]

£7!! holy crap thats pricey!! want to stay away from burgers/hotdogs etc and stick to decent home cooked food, so nice homemade curries, we thought would be something nice and hopefully not to many others doing that!

[Gothenburg83]

Not my cup of tea, but I'm sure there would be a demand! there are a few very good home made food stands that have been reasonably priced. but did see a few have reasonable prices on Friday, Saturday morning then thought bugger this we are under charging then have pumped up the price by another £2! I was arsed with that, but at the end of the day its a business and you need to make as much money as possible!

But I would say curries is a good idea and £4 would be reasonable! depending on costs of produce, man hours, cost of plot etc! no point going and making bugger all

[Eh Ah Ken]

If your doing Curry and pitta bread for £4 then I wont bring any food with me.
Everytime I eat it will be at your stand.
My names Colin. Remember this face. Your going to see it loads.

but then I guess the guys supervising the toilets will end up knowing me pretty well too.

Was great at Leeds last year, within two minutes walk from my tent was a Salvation Army van, Tea, Coffee or Soup and a roll for £1. Fantastic for breakfast.
