The Alcester Food Festival and The Compliment
The Wocky visited Alcester food festival last weekend, and had a lovely time. Not only were the organisers very nice, which we like, but the Alcesterians were delightful and said lots of kind things about the Jabberwocky. First compliment of the day was "I love your...
The Small Business Holiday
We have spent the last two weeks in Cuba celebrating the fortuitous timing of two people, a registry office, some of our very dearest friends and an enormous amount of cheese. Having arranged for all the above to be in the right place at the right time we felt that a...
Catering All Over Warwickshire and the Rest of the World
As I write this the wedding is going to happen, and the rain is still set to come down, but by the time you read this, we will presumably have been hitched and will be taking a break from Jabberwockys, weddings, work and most other things. I will go ahead and assume...
Rain
What with the country currently officially having a drought it seems odd that the subject of rain should be on my mind at all, but thankfully the farmers can rejoice, because at least here in Leamington Spa, it's raining. No only that, it is raining with the grim,...
Things, and how they keep happening
It's been a while since the last post in the style of the good old days, back when I could celebrate having a working gas stove or an MOT. Things used to be so tangible in those days,so full of gosh-darn fixability. There was a problem, and we would tackle it with...
Why Street Food is like Rock Music
I would like to propose that music and street food are the same thing. They are a commodity that is bought and consumed, and then hopefully bought again. Of course with music you usually only have to buy a song once to have it with you forever, but I would also like...
Getting To Know You
Well it's been a while, I think we should get to know one another a little better if you're comfortable with that. As I'm not entirely sure how many of you there are, or if you would get along with each other, it's probably best if we meet in private, and it's so much...
The Hidden Cost of Catering
We always knew that the Jabberwocky would be a learning curve. Totally new and unexpected situations that do CV-boosting activities like throwing you "out of your comfort zone" or "in at the deep end" as well as requiring you to "think on your feet" and "remain...
The Small Triumphs
The year is wearing on, and even though part of my mind still seems convinced it's February and dates things accordingly, we are now almost a quarter of the way through the year. The Jabberwocky has picked up some events for the summer, which is excellent news, and I...
Advertising is Fun
The internet has made a commodity out of us all, with the that wonderfully hateful word "advertising" lurking around every corner, skittering into every picture, resource or spare square inch and screaming for your attention. The internet is nothing more than another...
The Fourth Prong
The Jabberwocky has three tried and tested ways of getting food out and into Warwickshire. We can swing by your locale, whip up a meal in your kitchen and then swing away again, we can bring food of many kinds on the Beast to a location of your choice and serve it...
American Style Blueberry Pancakes
Last Tuesday was pancake day, and Barny was once again scheduled to be on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire, this time talking about pancakes. He had decided to go for broke and make his all time favourite ones, tried and tested over several long summers in America and...
