When it comes to catering on a large scale, festivals are the ultimate challenge, and June will potentially enter the record books for the most UK events in one month.
This year, festivals-goers can avoid greasy burgers in favour of tempting food outlets cropping up at festivals, including Chinese, Japanese, Mexican and Thai, with even ostrich burgers making an appearance.
Central Catering is in charge of most of the summer's festivals, including the Isle of Wight, Reading, Leeds, T in the Park and V. It manages all the operators trading at the festivals, ranging from 40 at the Isle of Wight to 60 at Reading and Leeds, with additional ones on the campsites. About 2,000 staff work at each event, helping to feed 35,000 at the Isle of Wight, 55,000 at Reading, 50,000 at Leeds, and 60,000 at V.
Beverages are an integral part of the festival experience, with more than 300,000 pints of lager downed at the Isle of Wight earlier this month.
Food poisoning can be a hazard, but there hasn't been a single case during or after recent Glastonbury events, while environmental health officers visit operators daily during the festivals.
When Glastonbury started in 1970, 1,500 people paid 1 entry, which included milk, whereas last weekend's festival attracted 150,000 people, at 125 a ticket - and not including milk.
