Exhibitors want bang for their buck from Fieldays caterers

Exhibitors have high expectations for stalls providing food and drink this Fieldays.

Hamilton café Hazel Hayes is excited to meet the pressure at their first Fieldays as they serve up a range of pies, sandwiches and sweets.

Hazel Hayes has been catering to exhibitors since last Wednesday, arriving at 9:30am to provide lunches to workers and corporates during preparations for the events.

Now that the Fieldays has kicked off, Hazel Hayes workers are arriving at 5am to fill farmers with their homemade beef and chicken pies.

Hazel Hayes worker Rakshita Prakash said that they expect the demand for pies increase now that the event has kicked off.

“We’ve sold about 50 of each pie each day so far.  Our store is in Hamilton so if we are running low one of our staff members can bring more pies in.”

Prakash says that while the pies are the punter’s choice, she would recommend the steak and salmon sandwiches.

Volunteer Frank Sargent said that he expects a lot from the sandwiches for the price.

“For $7 you would expect something pretty interesting, especially when you can go just down the road to Subway and get something quite big.”

Exhibitor Brent Sinclair said he looks for speed when visiting stalls for food and drink.

“If it’s fantastic, I’ll have to come back.”
