The People Behind Your Festival Meals

We're not your typical catering crew. Our team brings together chefs who've worked festival circuits across Europe, logistics experts who've managed crowd feeding at major UK events, and creative minds who actually care about making food interesting when you're serving thousands.

Everyone here has stories — from pulling off midnight menu changes to finding creative solutions when suppliers let us down at the last minute. That's festival catering. And that's why we're good at it.

Meet Our Core Team

Six people who've learned this business the hard way — through years of actual events, real problems, and figuring out what actually works when feeding festival crowds.

Freya Lindholm

Creative Director

Started in Stockholm's food scene before moving to the UK festival circuit. Spent three summers at Glastonbury learning what works when you're cooking for thousands. Her background in Nordic cuisine brings a different perspective to standard festival fare.

Oskar Viklund

Head Chef

Ran kitchens in three different countries before settling into event catering. His strength is adapting menus on the fly and keeping quality consistent even when we're cooking in temporary setups. He's obsessive about timing and plate presentation, even at scale.

Dalibor Kovač

Event Coordinator

Twenty years coordinating large-scale events across Eastern Europe before joining us. He's seen every possible logistical nightmare and somehow stays calm. His experience with outdoor venues in unpredictable weather has saved us more times than we can count.

Siobhan Byrne

Logistics Manager

Grew up helping her family run pub kitchens in Cork before moving into festival logistics. She handles supplier relationships and transport coordination — the unglamorous stuff that makes or breaks an event. Her network of reliable contacts is invaluable.

Magnus Fjellström

Dietary Specialist

Trained as a nutritionist in Uppsala before specializing in allergen management and dietary accommodations. His systems for handling multiple dietary requirements simultaneously keep everyone safe and fed. He takes requests that other caterers turn down.

Branka Tomić

Operations Lead

Former restaurant manager who shifted to event operations after running pop-ups across Belgrade. She handles staffing, training, and keeping everything running when things get chaotic. Her ability to troubleshoot in real-time is why we rarely have service delays.

How We Work Together

Braveon team coordinating during festival meal service preparation

Festival catering isn't about individual stars — it's about the team functioning as one unit when pressure hits. Our people have worked together long enough to anticipate problems before they happen and cover for each other when the unexpected occurs.

Freya and Oskar collaborate on menu concepts weeks before events, testing recipes in our prep kitchen and adjusting based on practical constraints. Dalibor and Siobhan map out logistics, from equipment delivery schedules to staff positioning across the venue.

During Event Execution

Magnus monitors dietary requests and ensures allergen protocols are followed at every service point. Branka manages the floor, coordinating between kitchen teams and front-of-house staff. When something goes wrong — and something always goes wrong — we've got enough combined experience to find solutions fast.

We debrief after every event. Not in a corporate way, but actually sitting down and discussing what worked and what didn't. That's how we've refined our systems over time and why we keep getting better at handling the chaos that comes with festival catering.
