What a weekend! ❤️🇭🇺🇵🇱🇩🇪

We were absolutely delighted to return to Góbéfest this year with both our German sausage grill and our Polish pierogi stand, and honestly… we’ve been blown away.

Our pierogi stand completely sold out on Saturday afternoon and then again very quickly on Sunday! We’re so sorry to everyone who missed out – we genuinely didn’t expect such an incredible response. We promise we’ll bring A LOT more next year and do our very best not to sell out again! 🥟❤️

To all of our lovely customers, thank you. Thank you for your patience, your support, and for all the wonderful feedback about our food. Hearing your kind words throughout the weekend was truly heartwarming and made all the hard work worthwhile.

But our biggest thanks have to go to Ottilia and the whole Góbéfest team. Over the last two years, this event has become our favourite place to trade. We’ve made some really good friends, the atmosphere is simply unbeatable, and there’s nowhere else quite like it. The music has been incredible, the dancers were amazing, and despite being rushed off our feet all weekend, we’ve had so much fun.

Events like this remind us why we do what we do.

Thank you, Góbéfest, for another unforgettable weekend. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year ❤️

See you all in 2027!
