What a weekend Godiva 2014 was, one of the best free
festivals in the country and it definitely lived up to expectations for us and
our brand new vegetarian food truck Not Dogs!
Not even the rain on Friday could dampen spirits as we set
up and prepared to start topping our meaty and mighty hot dogs without the
meat, and our very first customer? Only Anthony Harty from the legendary
two-tone band The Selecter! Following an interview with BBC Coventry & Warwickshire all about the Not Dogs journey so far, we had lots of customers
trying their very first Not Dog, with Kickin’ Katie Nacho Dog prevailing as the
most popular on day one.
Day two saw the sun shine once again, and nothing could have
prepared us for the onslaught of amazing customers we had throughout the day! Feedback
was amazing with some visitors munching a Not Dog for breakfast, lunch and
dinner! We barely looked up from our little trailer kitchen all day we were so busy, but by the
end of the night we were visited by the New York-based indie rock band We Are Scientists who joined all
our other customers in taking a #SausageSelfie. The Original Frank topped the
most wanted list and the best feedback of the day… “Please can you start
selling these online?!”
Day Three began with sunshine and a repeat customer in Anthony Harty who
wanted to try the Top O’ The Mornin’ Dog for breakfast, followed by lots of families and little ones sharing not
dogs – they are quite filling! Our stickers went down a treat, and we had lots
of meat-eaters and veggies enjoying our Hello Houmous special too!
Day three ended with Katie falling over in a lot of ‘questionable
mud’ while pushing our little trailer back into it's temporary home for the summer…
The real purpose for this post is to say a huge thank you to
all our family, friends and kind strangers who have helped us get this far, and
given us a such a boost for the remaining festivals, Not Dogs: The Summer Tour
continues….
