The Jabberwocky Victorian Mincemeat Recipe
It is now officially December, which means that after almost a month of covert Christmas toastie making, we can now deck the halls and get our festive on. This year is our third Advent on toasties, and our third one with the mince pie toastie specifically. It has...
The Next Logical Step
We are not exactly winding down for the season just yet. The last day off is a distant memory, but 2014 is nearly done, and we will be hibernating for a few months while we try and kit out the still unnamed Bedford, our new van. It's been a weird year, with the first...
ScoFarGo – Street Food, Beer, Music and Coventry
This is the big one. The one we need to get right. Reputations and what not. On the 29th of November, 10 days from now, Scoff will be throwing their biggest event so far. There will be beer, there will be music, there will be vintage crafts and there will, no doubt,...
Posh Toasties on Sunday Brunch
Last weekend anyone within a few miles of our twitter will know that TV happened. We have been on TV before, briefly, but it did not involve journeys into the centre of London, being live in the studio or cooking for a celebrity chef. I never knew how much effort was...
The Manwich Toasted Sandwich
The Manwich has deserved its own post for a long time now, as we are indebted to it for our survival as well as for being the greatest use of steak known to humankind. It's caused happiness, cheese comas and a bit of controversy, and besides the ham and cheese is the...
Street Food Survival since the Apocalypse
This one goes out to all you survivors out there. I love the passion, I'm impressed we've all got this far and the last 55 days have really been an experience. So it's time to move on and re-establish society, and in that spirit I thought we'd put together a bit of a...
The New Old Food Van
I am not one to cling to the past. This year started badly, but time has worn away the stresses of having a van with no engine. Since getting him back the Beast, our old old food van, has unhurriedly attended every event we have invited him to with sometimes nothing...
Fargo Village Street Food with Scoff
Of all the cool, hip and sophisticated places that street food is often found: from the weirdly trendy car parks in Birmingham to the glossy shopping malls of Leeds, there is one place where, I confess, I never though I'd find it. The City of Coventry, not 15 minutes...
The Best Way to Make A Toastie
Knowledge that has been handed down through the ages about the art of encompassing melted cheese within bread. Here is the best way to make a toastie; each method excelling in its own way and providing you, the cheese connoisseur, with nuclear hot, melted glory. The...
Above and Beyond the Call of Toasties
This week we have been planning something big for Halloween, because I like dressing up and Barny likes building things. I'm not going to tell you what it is though. You will have to come and find us that week. We did some fairly gentle dressing up last year, and...
The Candy Manwich
This is a toastie with history. It has existed for almost as long as its namesake, the Manwich, but not in any tangible form. The name Candy Manwich was suggested by the Rolles Royce Regulars, who have been road-testing toasties in the wild for years now. Their...
The Jabberwocky Signature Toastie
It must be something about our menu board, because to blame it on customers is inconsistent with them always being right. Especially with the gazebo setup, people often order the Jabberwocky toastie. I'm not sure what they expect to receive, as there is no description...
