The guy next to us yesterday did sausage rolls. Various different (delicious looking handmade) kinds, but that was all. One guy wth one big van. Simple concept, cheap ingedients and a bit of care and attention and they were flying off the stall. He totally sold out and told us it was one his best weekends ever.
Although my buddies basically sold out too they don't quite have the stock levels and logistics worked out yet, hence me spending all weekend running back and forth re-stocking while they remade loads of stuff through. I guess the overheads are pretty low in terms of ingredients for cakes, pasta bakes, minestrone soup (with my foccacia yo) etc but with the logistics of three people, two vehicles and trailers and no facilities to heat stuff up on site it definitey felt as if we were working an order of magnitude harder than the guy with one vehicle and basically one product.
