We like to think that festival markets are a part of what makes a festival, not just the place you go to buy stuff. Because of this we take real pride in the way Groovy Smoothies looks, and the mood we create in and around the stall. We decorate our marquee with either jungle foliage or mirror balls depending on whether we're feeling eco or disco. Our marquee is laid out so that our customers can see every stage of preparation, from chopping to blending to cup. We have no secrets!
We also strive to trade in the most responsible way we can, which to us means providing a high quality product we can be proud of, and keeping our environmental impact to a minimum. We only use biodegradable paper cups and our stationery and hand towels are made from recycled paper. Where recycling facilities are not provided on site we take our recyclable rubbish home with us.
