We disappeared for 10 days because we accidentally had the busiest weekend in Wholesome Junkies history 😭🌈🍔
In one bank holiday weekend we somehow managed:
✨ our first festival of the season
✨ a complete sellout at by day two
✨ 1000+ burgers served
✨ 800+ canapés prepped
✨ 300+ wedding guests fed
✨ two huge weddings
✨ our biggest wedding EVER
✨ a private party at New Century
✨ two Manchester kitchens open and running
✨ one very special mum guest appearance
It has been a full week of prep, packing, loading, cooking, driving, setting up, serving, cleaning down, repacking, driving again and trying not to lose our minds in the van.
Family, partners, staff, old faces, new faces… basically anyone who could hold a tray, lift a box, wash a tub or stop us from crying got pulled into the chaos.
My mum even came out of WJ retirement for one day only, which made it feel extra special 🥹
Bearded Theory, you were unreal. So many of you came back again and again and we sold out by day two 🍔
To our wedding couples.. thank you for trusting us with such beautiful days 🥰
To the team and everyone who jumped in - actual superhero’s! Slightly feral, but superheroes 🦸🏻♂️
I’m absolutely cooked today, but very very grateful.
Festival season has officially started 💖
If you had us this weekend, tell us what you ate 👇
