Normal Service will be Resumed Shortly
Due to an interruption in our current schedule there will be a brief attempt at search engine optimisation, followed by tea. This may result in some delays, but The Jabberwocky would like to reassure customers that to all intents and purposes the tea will continue to...
The Smiling Carrot of Internet Fame
There is more to it than just the carrot. In fact the carrot is the beginning of a dastardly plan I have been hatching for days, and is most cunningly designed. The blog is currently our best chance at becoming more widely known. The Jabberwocky relies on its web...
Fraternising
Is that not a glorious word? It doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well as some of my other favourite words (deciduous, misanthropy) but it's evocative and naughty and I like it. There has also been a large quantity of it in the last few days. Some related to the...
Is Webfiling difficult?
No. Webfiling, for the uninitiated, is something you have to do after each year of company ownership. Companies House, the disconcertingly aptly named government institution behind limited companies, requires that once a year you tell them where your company is, who...
Applications of Van to a Locale in your Vicinity (Topical Use Only)
The beast has had a fairly easy ride so far. He has slept on our driveway and been fed diesel, taken for regular romps in the country side, and has only once been asked to earn his keep. I think up until this point he has been more like a really expensive, lovable...
Barny’s 4.175 pence
As we are now embarking on a new type of food...the mighty toastie. I am going to take this opportunity to redirect my efforts on twitter and progress in 2 new directions. To explain these I am posting my first and I expect last, blog post. Firstly; on a...
Trees
I wonder, some times, what the opposite of "green-fingered" is. I consider myself to be "botanically homicidal", or perhaps "yellow-toed", or possibly "a crap gardener", but I have never let this put me off. I have kept a string of sickly house plants ever since I was...
The Trouble With Toasties
Thank you once again for joining us, and welcome to the Soliloquy 2012. I have already shared with you that last year was not bad, but will confide that I hope this year will be even better. We will hopefully be able to build a little notoriety locally as a food van...
That Bit Between Christmas And New Year Where You Are The Only Person Doing Any Real Work
As it happens, I have been back at the day job ever since Wednesday, listening the the monotonous drone of people dissatisfied with the outcome of Christmas and trying to drum up a little sympathy for the remnants of my cold. The evenings, however, have been reclaimed...
My First Christmas
As far as the Jabberwocky is concerned, this is our first Christmas. It has been a busy year, full of all sorts of excitement, and on the whole I would probably rate it a very respectable 9 out of 10, which is a very credible score considering all the niggly little...
Christmas: The Insatiable Consumption Engine
Along with it being the time for giving and sharing and love and excessive eating, Christmas, in the catering industry, is one of work. I would even go so far as to say that there is no industry that works harder, puts in longer hours or gets less praise than the...
Vegetarians Have Feelings Too
I am, I should probably admit up front, a card carrying omnivore. I take pleasure from all sorts of dishes, regardless of what they were made of, but generally speaking, for the purposes of meal creation, it starts with meat. This is why I'm not the one who does the...
