Spend fours hours travelling up from Kent, pay £400 for a pitch to stand in the cold to serve LavAzza coffee at a junk food travelling circus in Lincoln.
Masochistic.
To say the least I felt very sorry for the young Romanian lady whose stall it was, her very first outing with her coffee trike.
I doubt she covered her travel costs, let alone cost of the pitch, cost of overnight stay.
Who conned her into this ridiculous venture?
She had not worked in coffee, knew nothing about coffee.
Why serve LavAzza when High Street lined with coffee shops serving bad coffee?
She was frozen. I offered to take her for a coffee to have the chance to warm up and drink a decent coffee. But she could not leave her stall.
I advised she checked out coffee roasteries in Sussex, and to attend the Brighton Coffee Festival in August.
