🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

After a lot of thought… we’re making a few changes at Moo Hatch.

From next week, we’ll be moving away from burgers and focusing on a more refined, premium offering.

Introducing…

🥗 The Moo Hatch Wellness Menu

Think:
• Quinoa bowls
• Kale salads
• Activated charcoal smoothies
• Gluten-free, dairy-free, joy-free options

We feel it’s time to evolve with the market.

Burgers were fun while they lasted.

👉 Let us know what you think…

THIS IS AN HONEST UPDATE… 😬

It’s been a tough stretch lately.

Life stuff, family, kids… and if I’m honest it’s taken its toll a bit.

On the business side, the last 6 months have probably been the hardest we’ve had in 5.5 years.

There have definitely been moments where I’ve questioned everything… 😂

But we’re still here.. just 😬

And last weekend reminded me exactly why.

Our biggest 3 days since October.
Sold out on Saturday at @Towcester.mill.brewery
Packed out Friday night at @romanwaybrewery.

That kind of support means everything.

So genuinely… THANK YOU 🙏

If you want to catch us this week:

📍 Thursday & Friday – Towcester Pitch

📍 Friday evening – Hartwell Community Centre

Just a little thank you… 🙏

As we mentioned earlier this week, we’ve had to cancel this weekend’s events as we’re travelling abroad for a family funeral.

February is always a tight month for small businesses, so losing a full weekend’s trade wasn’t ideal.

But honestly… the response from you has blown us away.
🎉 A wedding booking settled their bill months in advance
🎁 Over £300 in gift cards purchased
🍔 Two teams fed for lunch at Silverstone Tech Park

That support has filled the gap more than you know.
We don’t take it lightly.

We’re continuing our eGift card offer (use code FEB26 for 10% off purchases over £25) until the end of the month.

Link to gift cards is in our bio or click 👇🏻
https://squareup.com/gift/MLQ01GE0036TJ/order

If you were planning to eat with us soon anyway, grabbing a gift card now helps us immediately, and you save a little too..
Win-win.
Thank you for always backing us.

We’ll be back to normal service at the end of next week. ❤️

WE’VE BEEN QUIET... BUT BUSY.

The last week hasn’t been quiet, behind the scenes it’s been full on!

Meetings with event organisers, other traders and the accountant.
Working on the unit.
Clearing space and repurposing kit from another trader who’s sadly had to close one of their sites.
Planning menu tweaks, trailer upgrades and marketing for the year ahead.

January is always tough in this industry, and this one’s no exception, but the work doesn’t stop, even when posting slows down.

Add in family life and the everyday juggle, and that’s the reality of running a small food business.

This game definitely isn’t for the faint-hearted 😂

Thank you to everyone who came out last night to @towcester.mill.brewery

January is always tough, so seeing familiar faces and a few new ones means a lot. ☺️

Over the next week, we’re going to share something a bit different.

A mini series about the costs of running our small business.

This isn't about complaining it's about context and helping you understand where things are at.

If you follow other small businesses, you’ll probably have noticed more closures and scaling back over recent weeks and months. It’s tough out there at the moment.

If there’s anything in particular you’d like us to cover, let us know

Not flashy, just done properly.

Yesterday’s post showed how many of us feel the same way.

This morning was another coffee, another conversation, another reminder that small businesses don’t grow in isolation.

No networking. No selling. Just sharing what we’re all figuring out as we go.

If you’re a local business owner and this sounds like your kind of morning, say hello 👋

BUT COLLABORATION SUPPORTS IT!

This morning I met up for breakfast with the two legends behind two other local street food businesses
Oli from @santinaswoodfiredpizzaco
& Ben from @thedoughdept

Three traders. Three businesses. All supporting each other.

Compliment. Collaborate. Create. Converse.

There’s more than enough work, customers and opportunity to go around, if we stop trying to outdo each other and start backing each other.

A good breakfast & a few mugs of tea always oils the inspirational cogs!

Who's joining us for brekky next time..? 👇☕

Today was a corporate lunch booking.

And this is where street food often surprises people!

It’s not just turning up and serving burgers.
It’s planning, timings, access, power, numbers, dietary requirements, setup, service flow — and leaving the site exactly as we found it.

Whether it’s 50 people or 500, the standards don’t change.
This side of the business doesn’t get shown very often, but it’s a big part of what we do.

Plus a quiet coffee after service.

Ready for the next one.

Quiet days don’t mean nothing’s happening.

This is the unglamorous bit of street food
Cleaning, resetting, getting ready to go again.

Back soon. Fully Prepared!

LET'S HEAR IT 👇

LET'S HEAR IT 👇

Yesterday showed me something important.

Honesty connects.

2026 isn’t just about food, it’s about sharing the reality behind it.

If you’re in street food, hospitality, or building something of your own you’re welcome here. ♥️

IT'S NOT DRY JAN, JUST A QUIET JAN

After everything we’ve shared recently about the realities of street food
January will be very limited for us.

Fewer pop-ups.

More local.

This isn’t stepping back.

It’s working smarter.

We’re done confusing being busy with being profitable.

And we’re done saying yes just to keep things ticking over.

A couple of pop-ups will be announced soon, but 2026 is about quality over quantity and building something that lasts.

If you run a small business, you’ll probably get this.

Stay tuned for what's coming up.

Small business owners, what are your plans for January?

Thanks to @oliveandwildephotography for the awesome pic of our trailer 😊

New Year’s Day done right.

No burgers. No van.

Just a classic car meet, great coffee, proper gelato, and supporting independent businesses. ☕ 🍰

After a full-on year, slowing things down felt like the right way to start 2026.

Hope your year started with a bit of calm too. ♥️

“Things I’m not doing in 2026 - Street Food Resolutions"

I’m not turning up to private events to serve 20 or 30 people for an hour
and the organiser says “they’ll just pay if they fancy one”.

I’m not paying £150+ to attend an event to 'maybe' turn over £500 after 6/8 hours on my feet!

I’m not discounting my work to make someone else’s event viable.

I’m not confusing being busy with being profitable.

And I’m definitely not apologising for valuing my time, my team, and the business I’ve spent years building.

2026 is about sustainability not just survival.

This year you'll find us prioritising events that work for us, are financially viable and focusing on keeping things local.

We also want to work more closely with other local street food brands

Everyone posts the highlights at the end of the year.

This is the other side of street food in 2025.

Not a complaint.
Not a sob story.
Just honesty.

If you run a small food business, you’ll probably recognise a lot of this.

And if you support one, thank you.
It matters more than you know.

2026… we’re ready.
