Festival and Event Catering
Festival and event catering is a big part of what Loosey Goosey Grill does: beer festivals, music festivals, markets, rallies and community events. We pitch up, cook to order and keep the queue moving.
We've cooked at Northants Rocks, Manor Fest and the Green Dragon Beer Festival among others, all within 25 miles of our base in Rushden.

Faces behind the hatch
At a festival, the people serving matter as much as the menu. It's us at the hatch from the first order to the last, with a smile and a chat for every customer, however long the queue.
Customers tell us the service is as good as the food, and you can read what they say on Google.
Our Instagram, Facebook and TikTok show where we're cooking next and how the last festival went.
Honestly one of the best places to go in rushden if you want a quick bite to eat! Their menu is great, not often you see a Philly cheese steak around here - been waiting for this a long time! The steak was cooked to perfection, the buns are freshly baked and that cheese whizz 👌🏽 Nothing spared here, premium food for the right price - watch this space!
Menus for big crowds
At busy events we usually run a short menu built for speed, typically the Philly cheese steak with loaded, Cajun or plain fries, and on that menu we can serve around 80 people an hour. Where an organiser wants a showcase, we bring the full menu, as we did at Northants Rocks and the Green Dragon Beer Festival.
Events that run for days
We're happy to stay for the whole event: two days at a beer festival, three at a motorcycle rally and four at a rock festival with camping. We cook fresh each day, from lunchtime into the evening.
Our events in numbers
Our events have run from community days of a few hundred people to festival crowds in the thousands:
- Northants Rocks: four days, around 750 people a day, one of four food vendors, sold out
- Green Dragon Beer Festival: two days, thousands of visitors, the only food on site
- Makers Market and Food Festival at Lamport Hall: two days, thousands of visitors, one of two food vendors, sold out both days
- Manor Fest: one day, around 8,000 people, more than ten food vendors
- A Harley-Davidson rally: three days, around 150 campers, the only food on site
- Street Food Fridays: one day, around 500 visitors, about ten food vendors, sold out
- Pride at the Welcome Inn: two days, around 500 people
- The Royal Garden Party at Coronation Park: one day, around 500 people, one of two vendors
Northants Rocks, Rushden Pride and the Makers Market and Food Festival at Lamport Hall have all booked us to come back, and Warwick Folk Festival has booked us as well.

Questions
What do you serve at festivals?
Usually a short menu built for big queues, such as the Philly cheese steak with loaded, Cajun or plain fries. For some events we bring the full menu.
Do you need a power hook-up on the pitch?
Power is preferred. For smaller events we can run on our own generator.
What is your food hygiene rating?
5, the top rating, from North Northamptonshire Council's inspection in October 2025.
Can you be the only food vendor at an event?
Yes. We were the only food at the Green Dragon Beer Festival for two days and at a three-day Harley-Davidson rally, cooking our full menu at both.
What paperwork can you send us?
Our public liability insurance certificate, food hygiene rating, risk assessment and gas safety certificate. All of them are up to date, and you can have copies on request.
For event organisers
The trailer needs a pitch of about 5 by 3 metres. Mains power is preferred, and we can bring a generator for smaller events. We hold a food hygiene rating of 5 and £5 million public liability insurance. Our insurance certificate, risk assessment and gas safety certificate are all up to date, and we can send copies on request. When we pay for a pitch, we make our money from what we sell, so there's no minimum spend to meet. Give us at least a week's notice, longer if you can: summer weekends fill up early.
