Garlic Festival 2015

We made a return to the Garlic Festival this weekend, having been absent for a couple of years. We're pleased to report that it seems as busy as ever. Fortunately, we missed the torrential rain of Thursday and Friday and the weather was just right; not too hot, a bit breezy and perfect for coffee sales, with Iced Coffees on Sunday.
We were next door to the delightful St. Valentines Licorice stand, which is always really popular. 

Next stop Bestival!

Coffee season is here

Many apologies for the absence of posts. It's got to that time of year when Dr Bean's Coffee is out and about every weekend . . . and bag production is at an all time high. Meaning very little rest, or spare time for the Dr Bean team. Here are some pictures of where the van has been over the past few weeks.
The boys had a very productive Cowes week, serving lots of coffee, with a great view. Best spot in Cowes, we reckon - outside the Yacht squadron, just next to the start line.

Also, this weekend we have been at the famous Isle of Wight Garlic Festival, which is an annual event. . . and is always really good for us. We did rather like the idea of going to the vintage festival at Goodwood. . but, maybe next year.

The Garlic Festival

We had a busy couple of days at this year's Garlic Festival, here on the Isle of Wight. This show is always popular and despite the forecast, we escaped the rain and plenty of people came along. We were trying our new blend of coffee, which we are really pleased with - and judging by the comments, so were our customers. 

We would also like to say that a shot of espresso goes extremely well on a serving of the delicious award- winning Minghella vanilla ice cream - a great combination!
